Let be the height of the building and thus the initial height of the ball. The ball's altitude at time
is given by
where is the acceleration due to gravity.
The ball reaches the ground when after
. Solve for
:
so the building is about 16 m tall (keeping track of significant digits).
Answer:
(a) 135 kV
(b) The charge chould be moved to infinity
Explanation:
(a)
The potential at a distance of <em>r</em> from a point charge, <em>Q</em>, is given by
where
Difference in potential between the points is
(b)
If this potential difference is increased by a factor of 2, then the new pd = 135 kV × 2 = 270 kV. Let the distance of the new location be <em>x</em>.
The charge chould be moved to infinity
Answer:
The angle of banked curve that makes the reliance on friction unnecessary is
Explanation:
In order the car to stay on the curve without friction, the net force in the direction of radius should be equal or smaller than the centripetal force. Otherwise the car could slide off the curve.
The only force in the direction of radius is the sine component of the weight of the car
The cosine component is equivalent to the normal force, which we will not be using since friction is unnecessary.
Newton’s Second Law states that
Also, the car is making a circular motion:
Combining the equations:
Finally the angle is
