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

Problem 6.056 Air enters a compressor operating at steady state at 15 lbf/in.2, 80°F and exits at 275°F. Stray heat transfer and
vova2212 [387]

To solve this process it is necessary to consider the concepts related to the relations between pressure and temperature in an adiabatic process.

By definition the relationship between pressure and temperature is given by

(\frac{P_2}{P_1})=(\frac{T_2}{T_1})^{(\frac{\gamma}{\gamma-1})}

Here

P = Pressure

T = Temperature

\gamma =The ratio of specific heats. For air normally is 1.4.

Our values are given as,

P_1 = 15lb/in^2\\T_1= 80\°F = 299.817K\\T_2 =400\°F = 408.15K

Therefore replacing we have,

(\frac{P_2}{P_1})=(\frac{T_2}{T_1})^{(\frac{\gamma}{\gamma-1})}

(\frac{P_2}{15})=(\frac{408.15}{299.817})^{(\frac{1.4}{1.4-1})}

Solving for P_2,

P_2 = 15*(\frac{408.15}{299.817})^{(\frac{1.4}{1.4-1})}

P_2 = 44.15Lbf/in^2

Therefore the maximum theoretical pressure at the exit is 44.15Lbf/in^2

Answer:

It’s called a conservative field.

Explanation:

I think it’s going to be the conservative field because in the question it talks about how it is able to become possible to define potential at a point in an electric field because electric field.

What is the acceleration of a car that travels in a straight line?
Sphinxa [80]
Acceleration occurs when there is a change in speed or direction. If it travels in a straight line, there is no speed or change in direction as it is constant througout, hence 0 acceleration.

A single loop of current is immersed in an externally applied uniform magnetic field of 3 Tesla oriented in the positive y direc
vlabodo [156]

Answer:

mu=12Tm^2

Explanation:

the magnetic moment mu of a single loop is given by:

\mu = I A B

where I is the current, B is the magnetic field and A is the area of the loop. By replacing we obtain:

\mu=(0.5A)(4m*2m)(3T)=12Tm^2

hope this helps!!
