A positive point charge Q is fixed on a very large horizontal frictionless tabletop. A second positive point charge q is release

d from rest near the stationary charge and is free to move. Which statement best describes the motion of q after it is released?
(A) As it moves farther and farther from Q, its speed will keep increasing.
(B) As it moves farther and farther from Q, its speed will decrease.
(C) As it moves farther and farther from Q, its acceleration will keep increasing.
(D) Its speed will be greatest just after it is released. Its acceleration is zero just after it is released.

Answer:

(A) As it moves farther and farther from Q, its speed will keep increasing.

Explanation:

When a positive charge Q is fixed on a horizontal frictionless tabletop and a second charge q is released near to it then according to the Coulombs law the force acting on it decreases with the square of the distance between them.

Mathematically:

F=\frac{1}{4\pi.\epsilon_0} \times \frac{Q.q}{r^2}

where:

r = distance between the charges

\epsilon_0= permittivity of free space

By the Newtons' second law of motion if the we know that the acceleration is directly proportional to the force applied. So as  the distance between the charges increases the its acceleration also decreases therefore now the charge feels less acceleration but still continues to accelerate with a fading magnitude.

shutvik [7]

Answer:(10.69, 11.436)

Explanation:

Given

initial height of ball is 2 m

height of basket is 3.05 m

Launching angle=40^{\circ}

x =12\pm 0.27

y=1.05

equation of trajectory of ball is given by

y=xtan\theta -\frac{gx^2}{2u^2cos^2\theta }

for x=12.27

1.05=12.27\times tan40-\frac{g12.27^2}{2u^2cos^{2}40 }

u=10.69

for x=11.73

1.05=11.73\times tan40-\frac{g11.73^2}{2u^2cos^{2}40 }

u=11.436 m/s

Thus range of speed is (10.69, 11.436)

A girl throws a ball of mass 0.8 kg against a wall. The ball strikes the wall horizontally with a speed of 11 m/s, and it bounce
Karolina [17]

Answer:

F = 352 N

Explanation:

we know that:

F*t = ΔP

so:

F*t = MV_f-MV_i

where F is the force excerted by the wall, t is the time, M the mass of the ball, V_f the final velocity of the ball and V_i the initial velocity.

Replacing values, we get:

F(0.05s) = (0.8 kg)(11m/s)-(0.8 kg)(-11m/s)

solving for F:

F = 352 N

A boy starts from point A and walks 3 meters toward the north, then turns around and walks 6 meters toward the south.
docker41 [41]

Answer:

Total distance traveled = 9 m

Explanation:

Given:

Distance travel towards north = 3 meter

Distance travel towards south = 6 meter

Find:

Total distance traveled

Computation:

Total distance traveled = Sum of total distance

Total distance traveled = Distance travel towards north + Distance travel towards south

Total distance traveled = 3 m + 6 m

Total distance traveled = 9 m
