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

A large sheet of charge has a uniform charge density of 9  μCm2. What is the electric field due to this charge at a point just
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

Explanation:

Surface charge density, σ = 9 μC/m² = 9 x 10^-6 C/m²

According to the Gauss theorem,

Electric field due to the sheet is given by

E = \frac {\sigma }{2\epsilon _{0}}

E = \frac{9\times 10^{-6}}{2\times 8.854\times 10^{-12}}

E = 5.08 x 10^5 N/C

The maximum speed with which you can throw a stone is about 20 m/s. Can you hit a window 45 m away horizontally and 10 m up from
Allushta [10]

Answer:

 y = 17 m

Explanation:

For this projectile launch exercise, let's write the equation of position

          x = v₀ₓ t

          y = v_{oy} t - ½ g t²

let's substitute

          45 = v₀ cos θ t

          10 = v₀ sin θ t - ½ 9.8 t²

the maximum height the ball can reach where the vertical velocity is zero

 

           v_{y} = v_{oy} - gt

           0 = v₀ sin θ - gt

           0 = v₀ sin θ - 9.8 t

Let's write our system of equations

         45 = v₀ cos θ  t

         10 = v₀ sin θ t - ½ 9.8 t²

         0 = v₀ sin θ - 9.8 t

We have a system of three equations with three unknowns for which it can be solved.

Let's use the last two

        v₀ sin θ = 9.8 t

we substitute

        10 = (9.8 t) t - ½ 9.8 t2

        10 = ½ 9.8 t2

        10 = 4.9 t2

        t = √ (10 / 4.9)

        t = 1,429 s

Now let's use the first equation and the last one

         45 = v₀ cos θ t

         0  = v₀ sin θ - 9.8 t

         9.8 t = v₀  sin θ

         45 / t = v₀ cos θ

we divide

         9.8t / (45 / t) = tan θ

          tan θ = 9.8 t² / 45

          θ = tan⁻¹ ( 9.8 t² / 45 )

          θ = tan⁻¹ (0.4447)

          θ = 24º

Now we can calculate the maximum height

         v_y² = v_{oy}^2 - 2 g y

         vy = 0

          y = v_{oy}^2 / 2g

          y = (20 sin 24)²/2 9.8

          y = 3,376 m

the other angle that gives the same result is

       θ‘= 90 - θ

       θ' = 90 -24

       θ'= 66'

for this angle the maximum height is

 

          y = v_{oy}^2 / 2g

          y = (20 sin 66)²/2 9.8

           y = 17 m

thisis the correct

lina2011 [118]

Answer:

The the analysis for the free fall part should be done under the constant acceleration.

Explanation:

In the given problem, the jumper is falling under the free fall. Since, no external force is acting on the body therefore, the fall will be under the action gravity only. also, the acceleration due to gravity is always constant.

Therefore, the the analysis for the free fall part should be done under the constant acceleration.
