Physics

Answer

Explanation:

Simple arithmetic cannot be used if two or more vectors are not along the same direction. Vectors can be added when two vectors are in the same direction but for the subtraction of vectors, if the vectors are not in the same direction you then subtract.

Can someone help me plz<br>it's a glass bell jar and to vacuum pump

Nata [24]

A) the pump removes air from the enclosure. foam absorbs vibrations from the clock
b) result is that as the air is taken out by pump, the sound of alarm reduces and eventually becomes zero. so, you cant hear the alarm ringing.
c) conclusion is that sound cant travel in vaccum and it requires a medium to travel.

Two runners ran side by side, each holding one end of a horizontal pole. How would this affect the direction of the runners? Exp

zhuklara [117]

Answer:

They will run parallel to each other as the none of a straight pole cannot be bent in such a way where one side can turn without the other turning.

((PLEASE HELP))

Degger [83]

Answer:

Angle of refraction

Explanation:

The incident ray is the ray before it reaches the surface.

The refracted ray is the ray after it reaches the surface.

n₁ is called the index of incidence.

n₂ is called the index of refraction.

θ₁ is called the angle of incidence.

θ₂ is called the angle of refraction.

They are related by Snell's law:

n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂

What is the angular displacement of the wheel between t = 5 s and t = 15 s?

Mkey [24]

The question seems incomplete. The complete text is:

a)What is the angular displacement of the wheel between t = 5 s and t = 15 s

b)What is the angular velocity of the wheel at 15 s

And it refers to the attached figure.

a) 25 rad

The graph shown represent the angular position of the wheel at different times.

Therefore, we can simply calculate the angular displacement between two times by calculating the difference between the angular position at t2 and the angular position at t1.

At $t_1 = 5 s$ , the angular position from the graph is $\theta_1 = 100 rad$

At $t_2 = 15 s$ , the angular position from the graph is $\theta_2 = 125 rad$

Therefore, the angular displacement is

$\Delta \theta= \theta_2 - \theta_1 = 125-100 = 25 rad$

2) -5.0 rad/s

For a angular displacement vs time graph, the angular velocity at any time is simply equal to the slope of the curve at that time.

Here we want to calculate the angular velocity at t = 15 s, so we have to calculate the slope at that time.

By noting that the slope is constant in the last part of the motion, we find that the slope between 10 s and 20 s is:

$\frac{\Delta \theta}{\Delta t}=\frac{100 rad - 150 rad}{20 s - 10 s}=-5.0 rad/s$

This slope is constant between 10 s and 20 s, so the angular velocity of the wheel at t = 15 s

$\omega = -5.0 rad/s$

Find the direction and magnitude of the net force exerted on the point charge q3 in the figure. Let q= +2.4 μC and d= 33cm.

kobusy [5.1K]

With the use of electric force formula, the direction and magnitude of the net force exerted on the point charge q3 are 9.9 x $10^{11}$ N and 66 degrees

ELECTRIC FORCE (F)

F = $\frac{KQq}{d^{2} }$

Where K = 9 x $10^{9}$ N $m^{2}$ / $C^{2}$

The distance between $q_{1}$ and $q_{3}$ can be calculated by using Pythagoras theorem.

d = $\sqrt{33^{2} + 33^{2} }$

d = 46.7 cm = 0.467 m

For force $F_{1}$ , substitute all the parameters into the formula above

$F_{1}$ = (9 x $10^{9}$ x 3 x 1)/ $0.467^{2}$

$F_{1}$ = 2.7 x $10^{10}$ /0.218

$F_{1}$ = 1.24 x $10^{11}$ N

For force $F_{4}$ , substitute all the parameters into the formula above

$F_{4}$ = (9 x $10^{9}$ x 3 x 4)/ $0.33^{2}$

$F_{4}$ = 1.08 x $10^{11}$ /0.1089

$F_{4}$ = 9.92 x $10^{11}$ N

For force $F_{2}$ , substitute all the parameters into the formula above

$F_{2}$ = (9 x $10^{9}$ x 3 x 2)/ $0.33^{2}$

$F_{2}$ = 5.4 x $10^{10}$ /0.1089

$F_{2}$ = 4.96 x $10^{11}$ N

Summation of forces on Y component will be

$F_{y}$ = $F_{4}$ - $F_{1}$ Sin 45

$F_{y}$ = 9.92 x $10^{11}$ - 1.24 x $10^{11}$ Sin 45

$F_{y}$ = 9.04 x $10^{11}$ N

Summation of forces on X component will be

$F_{x}$ = $F_{2}$ - $F_{1}$ Cos 45

$F_{x}$ = 4.96 x $10^{11}$ - 1.24 x $10^{11}$ Sin 45

$F_{x}$ = 4.08 x $10^{11}$ N

Net Force = $\sqrt{F_{x} ^{2} + F_{y} ^{2} } }$

Net force = $\sqrt{(4.08*10^{11}) ^{2} + (9.04*10^{11}) ^{2} }$

Net force = 9.9 x $10^{11}$ N

The direction will be

Tan ∅ = $F_{y}$ / $F_{x}$

Tan ∅ = 9.04 x $10^{11}$ / 4.08 x $10^{11}$

Tan ∅ = 2.216

∅ = $Tan^{-1}$ (2.216)

∅ = 65.7 degrees

Therefore, the direction and magnitude of the net force exerted on the point charge q3 are 9.9 x $10^{11}$ N and 66 degrees approximately.
