Answer:

a) F_net = 30.47 N ,   θ = 10.6º

b)  Fₓ = 29.95 N

Explanation:

For this exercise we use coulomb's law

          F₁₂ = k k \frac{ q_{1}  \  q_{2} }{ r^{2} }

the direction of the force is on the line between the two charges and the sense is repulsive if the charges are equal and attractive if the charges are different.

As we have several charges, the easiest way to solve the problem is to add the components of the force in each axis, see attached for a diagram of the forces

X axis

        Fₓ = F_{bc x}

Y axis  

       F_{y}Fy = F_{ab} - F_{bc y}

let's find the magnitude of each force

     F_{ab} = 9 10⁹ 2.76 10⁻⁴ 1.02 10⁻⁴ / 3²

      F_{ab} = 2.82 10¹ N

      F_{ab} = 28.2 N

   

      F_{bc} = 9 10⁹ 6.54 10⁻⁴ 1.02 10⁻⁴ / 4²

      F_{bc} = 3.75 10¹  N

       F_{bc} = 37.5 N

let's use trigonometry to decompose this force

      tan θ = y / x

      θ = tan⁻¹ and x

       θ= tan⁻¹ ¾

      θ = 37º

let's break down the force

      sin 37 = F_{bcy} / F_{bc}

      F_{bcy} = F_{bc} sin 37

      F_{bcy} = 37.5 sin 37

      F_{bcy} = 22.57 N

      cos 37 = F_{bcx} /F_{bc}

      F_{bcx} = F_{bc} cos 37

      F_{bcx} = 37.5 cos 37

      F_{bcx} = 29.95 N

let's do the sum to find the net force

X axis

        Fₓ = 29.95 N

Axis y

        Fy = 28.2 -22.57

        Fy = 5.63 N

we can give the result in two ways

a)  F_net = Fₓ i ^ + F_{y} j ^

    F_net = 29.95 i ^ + 5.63 j ^

b) in the form of module and angle

let's use the Pythagorean theorem

    F_net = \sqrt{ F_{x}^2 + F_{y}^2 }

    F_net = √(29.95² + 5.63²)

     F_net = 30.47 N

we use trigonometry for the direction

      tan θ= \frac{ F_{y}  }{  F_{x} }

       

      θ = tan⁻¹ \frac{ F_{y}  }{  F_{x} }

      θ = tan⁻¹ (5.63 / 29.95)

      θ = 10.6º

) The radius of sphere measured repeated values 5.63 m, 5.54 m and 5.53 m. Determine the most
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

v_{ average} = 5.57

Explanation:

The most probable value of a measure is

       v_average = \frac{1}{N} ∑ x_i

where N is the number of measurements

in tes case N = 3

         v_{average} = ⅓ (5.63 +5.54 + 5.53)

         V_{average} = 5,567

The number of significant figures must be equal to the number of figures that have the least in the readings.

          v_{ average} = 5.57

A sample of an unknown substance has a mass of 0.465 kg. if 3,000.0 j of heat is required to heat the substance from 50.0°c to 1
hammer [34]

The specific heat of the substance will be 0.129 J/g°C.

<h3>What is specific heat capacity?</h3>

The amount of heat required to increase a substance's temperature by one degree Celsius is known as specific heat capacity.

Similarly, heat capacity is the relationship between the amount of energy delivered to a substance and the increase in temperature that results.

The given data in the problem is;

Q is the amount of energy necessary to raise the temperature = 3,000.0 j

M is the mass=  0.465 kg.

Δt is the time it takes to raise the temperature.=50°c

s stands for specific heat capacity=?

Mathematically specific heat capacity is given by;

\rm Q= MC \triangle t \\\\ C = \frac{Q}{M\triangle t} \\\\ C = \frac{3000}{0.465 \triangle 50} \\\\ C =129.0 J/Kg^0C \\\\ C= 0.129 J/g^0C

Hence the specific heat of the substance will be 0.129 J/g°C.

Determine a formula for the magnitude of the force F exerted on the large block (Mc) so that the mass Ma does not move relative
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

The magnitude of the force F is given by

F =  (M_{a} + M_{b} + M_{c} ) *(M_{b}*g/(\sqrt{M_{a} ^{2}-M_{b} ^{2}}))

Explanation:

Given there are three blocks of masses M_{a}, M_{b} and M_{c} (ref image in attachment)

When all three masses move together at an acceleration a, the force F is given by

F =  (M_{a} + M_{b} + M_{c} ) *a    ................(equation 1)

Also it is given that M_{a} does not move with respect to M_{c}, which gives tension T  is exerted on pulley  by M_{a} only, Hence tension T is

T = M_{a} *a    ..........(equation 2)

There is also also tension exerted by M_{b}. There are two components here: horizontal due to acceleration a and vertical component due to gravity g. Thus tension is given by

T = M_{b} \sqrt{a^{2} +g^{2} }   ................(equation 3)

From equation 2 and 3, we get

M_{a} *a  = M_{b} \sqrt{a^{2} +g^{2} }  

Squaring both sides we get

M_{a} ^{2} *a^{2} = M_{b} ^{2} * (a^{2}+g^{2})

M_{a} ^{2} *a^{2} = (M_{b} ^{2} * a^{2})+ (M_{b} ^{2} *g^{2})

(M_{a} ^{2}  -  M_{b} ^{2}) * a^{2} = M_{b} ^{2} *g^{2}

a^{2} = M_{b} ^{2} *g^{2}/(M_{a} ^{2}  -  M_{b} ^{2})

Taking square root on both sides, we get acceleration a

a = M_{b}*g/(\sqrt{M_{a} ^{2}-M_{b} ^{2}})

Hence substituting the value of a in equation 1, we get

F =  (M_{a} + M_{b} + M_{c} ) *(M_{b}*g/(\sqrt{M_{a} ^{2}-M_{b} ^{2}}))

A man attempts to push a 19.8 kg crate across a warehouse floor. He slowly increases the force until the crate starts to move at
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

 μ = 0.18

Explanation:

Let's use Newton's second Law, the coordinate system is horizontal and vertical

Before starting to move the box

Y axis

     N-W = 0

     N = W = mg

X axis

     F -fr = 0

     F = fr

The friction force has the formula

     fr = μ N

     fr =  μ m g

At the limit point just before starting the movement

     F = μ m g

     μ = F / m g

calculate

      μ = 34.8 / (19.8 9.8)

    μ = 0.18

Which of the following devices is associated with the reception of radio signals?
ki77a [65]
What are the "following" devices ? ?
I think they're a list of choices that you have but aren't sharing.

A few devices associated with the reception of various types of
radio signals include the resonant tank, the local oscillator, the
mixer, the detector, the coherer, the discriminator, the parabolic
reflector, the lecher wires, the audio transducer, the demultiplexer,
and ... my personal guess ... the 'antenna' or 'aerial'.
