<h2>Resultant is 235.54 pounds at an angle 44.16° to X axis.</h2>

Explanation:

Forces are 100 pound and 150 pound and angles with x axis are 20°and 60°.

That is force 1 is 100 pound with x axis at 20°

F₁ = 100 cos 20 i + 100 sin 20 j

F₁ = 93.97 i + 34.20 j

That is force 2 is 150 pound with x axis at 60°

F₂ = 150 cos 60 i + 150 sin 60 j

F₂ = 75 i + 129.90 j

F₁ + F₂ = 93.97 i + 34.20 j + 75 i + 129.90 j

F₁ + F₂ = 168.97 i + 164.10 j

$\texttt{Magnitude = }\sqrt{168.97^2+164.10^2}\\\\\texttt{Magnitude = }235.54pounds\\\\\texttt{Angle = }tan^{-1}\left ( \frac{164.10}{168.97}\right )\\\\\texttt{Angle = }44.16^0$

Resultant is 235.54 pounds at an angle 44.16° to X axis.

a force is applied to a box of 10.0 kg for 4.0 s. the box goes from rest to 25 m/s in that time. What is the magnitude of that f

Paul [167]

Given:

m(mass of the box)=10 Kg

t(time of impact)=4 sec

u(initial velocity)=0.(as the body is initially at rest).

v(final velocity)=25m/s

Now we know that

v=u+at

Where v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration acting on the body

t is the time of impact

Substituting these values we get

25=0+a x 4

4a=25

a=6.25m/s^2

Now we also know that

F=mxa

F=10 x6.25

F=62.5N

An electric pump rated 1.5 KW lifts 200kg of water through a vertical height of 6m in 10 secs: way is the efficiency of the pump

ruslelena [56]

Answer:

80%

Explanation:

Efficiency = Power output / Power input × 100 %

To calculate efficiency we need to find power output of electric pump.

We can use,

Work done = Energy change

Work done per second = Energy change per second

Work done per second = Power

Therefore, Power = Energy change per second

= Change in potential energy of water per second

=mgh / t

= 200× 10×6 / 10

= 1200 W = 1.2 kW

Now use the first equation to find efficiency,

Efficiency = $\frac{1.2}{1.5}$ × 100%

= 80 %

A girl stands on the edge of a merry-go-round of radius 1.71 m. If the merry go round uniformly accerlerates from rest to 20 rpm

Mashutka [201]

Answer:

$a = 0.53 m/s^2$

Explanation:

initially the merry go round is at rest

after 6.73 s the merry go round will accelerates to 20 rpm

so final angular speed is given as

$\omega = 2\pi f$

$\omega = 2\pi ( \frac{20}{60})$

$\omega = 2.10 rad/s$

so final tangential speed is given as

$v = r\omega$

$v = 1.71 (2.10) = 3.58 m/s$

now average acceleration of the girl is given as

$a = \frac{v_f - v_i}{\Delta t}$

$a = \frac{3.58 - 0}{6.73}$

$a = 0.53 m/s^2$

A point charge q1 = 1.0 µC is at the origin and a point charge q2 = 6.0 µC is on the x axis at x = 1 m.

iris [78.8K]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the Electrostatic Force given by Coulomb's law. This force can be mathematically described as

$F = \frac{kq_1q_2}{d^2}$

Here

k = Coulomb's Constant

$q_{1,2} =$ Charge of each object

d = Distance

Our values are given as,

$q_1 = 1 \mu C$

$q_2 = 6 \mu C$

d = 1 m

$k = 9*10^9 Nm^2/C^2$

a) The electric force on charge $q_2$ is

$F_{12} = \frac{ (9*10^9 Nm^2/C^2)(1*10^{-6} C)(6*10^{-6} C)}{(1 m)^2}$

$F_{12} = 54 mN$

Force is positive i.e. repulsive

b) As the force exerted on $q_2$ will be equal to that act on $q_1$ ,

$F_{21} = F_{12}$

$F_{21} = 54 mN$

Force is positive i.e. repulsive

c) If $q_2 = -6 \mu C$ , a negative sign will be introduced into the expression above i.e.

$F_{12} = \frac{(9*10^9 Nm^2/C^2)(1*10^{-6} C)(-6*10^{-6} C)}{(1 m)^{2}}$

$F_{12} = F_{21} = -54 mN$

Force is negative i.e. attractive
