Explanation:

If Q is the unit of a derived quantity represented by Q = MaLbTc, then MaLbTc is called dimensional formula and the exponents a, b and, c are called the dimensions.

Prove the three laws of motion

Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

The first law, also called the law of inertia, was pioneered by Galileo. This was quite a conceptual leap because it was not possible in Galileo's time to observe a moving object without at least some frictional forces dragging against the motion. In fact, for over a thousand years before Galileo, educated individuals believed Aristotle's formulation that, wherever there is motion, there is an external force producing that motion.

The second law, $ f(t)=m\,a(t)$ , actually implies the first law, since when $ f(t)=0$ (no applied force), the acceleration $ a(t)$ is zero, implying a constant velocity $ v(t)$ . (The velocity is simply the integral with respect to time of $ a(t)={\dot v}(t)$ .)

Newton's third law implies conservation of momentum [138]. It can also be seen as following from the second law: When one object ``pushes'' a second object at some (massless) point of contact using an applied force, there must be an equal and opposite force from the second object that cancels the applied force. Otherwise, there would be a nonzero net force on a massless point which, by the second law, would accelerate the point of contact by an infinite amount.

In a local bar, a customer slides an empty beer mug down the counter for a refill. The height of the counter is 1.42 m. The mug

Answer:

a) $V_{x}=3.72m/s$ , b) ∠=-54.83°

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we must start with a drawing of the situation, this will help us visualize the problem better. (See picture attached).

Now, the idea is that the beer mug has a horizontal speed and no vertical speed at initial conditions. So knowing this, we can start finding the initial velocity of the mug.

In order to do so, we need to find the time it takes for the mug to reach the ground. We can find it by using the following equation:

$y=y_{0}+V_{y0}t+\frac{1}{2}a_{y}t^{2}$

We can see from the drawing that y and the initial velocity in y are zero, so we can simplify our formula:

$0=y_{0}+\frac{1}{2}a_{y}t^{2}$

so we can solve for t, so we get:

$t=\sqrt{\frac{-(2)y_{0}}{a}}$

so now we can substitute the known values, so we get:

$t=\sqrt{\frac{-(2)(1.42)}{-9.8}}$

which yields:

t=0.538s

So we can use this value to find the velocity in x:

$V_{x}=\frac{x}{t}$

When substituting we get:

$V_{x}=\frac{2m}{0.538s}$

which yields:

$V_{x}=3.72m/s$

In order to solve part b, we need to find the y-component of the velocity, for which we can use the following formula:

$\Delta y=\frac{V_{f}^{2}-V_{0}^{2}}{2a}$

We know that $V_{0}$ is zero, so we can simplify the expression:

$\Delta y=\frac{V_{yf}^{2}}{2a}$

So we can solve the equation for $V_{yf}^{2}$ so we get:

$V_{yf}=\sqrt{2\Delta y a}$

and when substituting the known values we get:

$V_{yf}=\sqrt{2(-1.42m)(-9.8m/s^{2})}$

which yields:

$V_{yf}=-5.28m/s$

Once we got the final velocity in y, we can use it together with the velocity in x to find the angle.

So we can use the following formula:

$tan \theta =\frac{V_{y}}{V_{x}}$

when solving for theta we get:

$\theta = tan^{-1}(\frac{V_{y}}{V_{x}})$

We can substitute so we get:

$\theta = tan^{-1}(\frac{-5.28m/s}{3.72m/s})$

which yields:

$\theta = -54.83^{o}$

Answer:

The new radius of the trajectory of the particle is four times the previous radius

Explanation:

In order to know what is the radius of the trajectory of the charged particle, if its speed is four times as fast, you take into account the following formula, which describes the radius of a charged particle in a magnetic field:

$r=\frac{mv}{qB}$ (1)

If the speed of the particle is for time as fast, that is, v' = 4v, you obtain, in the equation (1):

$r'=\frac{mv'}{qB}=\frac{m(4v)}{qB}=4\frac{mv}{qB}=4r$

The new radius of the trajectory of the particle is four times the previous radius
