Two spherical point charges each carrying a charge of 40 μC are attached to the two ends of a spring of length 20 cm. If its spr

ing constant is 120 Nm-1 , what is the length of the spring when the charges are in equilibrium?

Answer:

$x=3$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Charge $Q=40 \mu C$

Length $L=20cm=0.20m$

Spring constant $k=120Nm^{-1}$

Generally the equation for Force between Charges is mathematically given by

$F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}$

$F=9*10^9\frac{40*10^{-6}^2}{0.2^2^2}$

$F=360N$

Therefore

$F=kx$

$x=\frac{F}{k}$

$x=\frac{360}{120}$

$x=3$

How long in seconds will it take a car traveling at 100 miles/hour to travel the length of an American Football field?

Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

It will take 2.45 seconds.

Explanation:

A football field measured 120 yards, that is arround 0.068 miles, the car is moving with a constant speed so the formula we have to apply for this is:

$t=\frac{x}{v}\\where\\x=distance\\v=speed\\$

$t=\frac{0.068}{100}\\t=0.00068hrs$

in order to obtain the time in seconds:

$tsec=0.00068hr*(\frac{3600sec}{1hr} )\\tsec=2.45 sec$

A self-driving car traveling along a straight section of road starts from rest, accelerating at 2.00 m/s2 until it reaches a spe

Rasek [7]

Answer:

$56.5\ \text{s}$

$21.13\ \text{m/s}$

Explanation:

v = Final velocity

u = Initial velocity

a = Acceleration

t = Time

s = Displacement

Here the kinematic equations of motion are used

$v=u+at\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{v-u}{a}\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{25-0}{2}\\\Rightarrow t=12.5\ \text{s}$

Time the car is at constant velocity is 39 s

Time the car is decelerating is 5 s

Total time the car is in motion is $12.5+39+5=56.5\ \text{s}$

Distance traveled

$v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow s=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\Rightarrow s=\dfrac{25^2-0}{2\times 2}\\\Rightarrow s=156.25\ \text{m}$

$s=vt\\\Rightarrow s=25\times 39\\\Rightarrow s=975\ \text{m}$

$v=u+at\\\Rightarrow a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}\\\Rightarrow a=\dfrac{0-25}{5}\\\Rightarrow a=-5\ \text{m/s}^2$

$s=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\Rightarrow s=\dfrac{0-25^2}{2\times -5}\\\Rightarrow s=62.5\ \text{m}$

The total displacement of the car is $156.25+975+62.5=1193.75\ \text{m}$

Average velocity is given by

$\dfrac{\text{Total displacement}}{\text{Total time}}=\dfrac{1193.75}{56.5}=21.13\ \text{m/s}$

The average velocity of the car is $21.13\ \text{m/s}$ .

Three balls are in water. Ball 1 floats, with half of it exposed above the water level. Ball 2, with a density less than the den

Ymorist [56]

Answer:

The magnitude of buoyancy force is equal to that of ball's weight.

Explanation:

Ball 1 is floating on water. Weight of ball 1 is Fg=m1g is acting vertically downward

Force of buoyancy FB = ρVdisg is acting vertically upward.

Net force acting on the ball is zero, FB=Fg

Answer

The magnitude of buoyancy force is equal to that of ball's weight.

What best describes a sound wave

Ber [7]

A sound wave is the pattern of disturbance caused by the movement of energy traveling through a medium (such as air, water, or any other liquid or solid matter) as it propagates away from the source of the sound. The source is some object that causes a vibration, such as a ringing telephone, or a person's vocal chords. The vibration disturbs the particles in the surrounding medium; those particles disturb those next to them, and so on. The pattern of the disturbance creates outward movement in a wave pattern, like waves of seawater on the ocean. The wave carries the sound energy through the medium, usually in all directions and less intensely as it moves farther from the source.
