The upward force on each supporting plank is 200 N

<u>The given parameters include;</u>

  • weight of the plank, W₁ = 400 N
  • length of the plank, l = 2 m
  • upward force of each supporting plank, = W₂ and W₃

To show that the upward force of each supporting plank is 200 N, make the following sketch.

                 W₂                                                           W₃

                  ↑                                                              ↑                                                              

           -----------------------------------------------------------------------

              0.2m                         ↓                               0.2m

                                              400 N

  • The two supporting planks keeps the 2m plank in equilibrium position.
  • If the plank is in equilibrium position the sum of the upward forces equals sum of the downward force.

W₂  +   W₃ = 400 N

But the distance of each supporting plank from the end is equal, (0.2m).

Then, W₂  =  W₃

2W₂ = 400 N

W₂ = 400N/2

W₂ = 200 N

W₃ = 200 N

Therefore, the upward force on each supporting plank that keeps the plank in equilibrium position is 200 N.

If the vertical initial speed of the ball is 2.5 m/sm/s as the cannon moves horizontally at a speed of 0.55 m/sm/s , how far fro
barxatty [35]

Answer:

0.281 m

Explanation:

From vᵧ = uᵧ - gt

where vᵧ = final vertical component of the velocity

uᵧ = vertical component of the initial velocity = 2.5 m/s

g = 9.8 m/s²

At maximum height, vᵧ = 0 m/s

So,

Time to reach maximum height, t = uᵧ/g = 2.5/9.8 = 0.255 s

Total time of flight, T = 2 × time to reach maximum height

T = 2 × t = 2 × 0.255 = 0.510 s

Range of the cannon = uₓ T = 0.55 × 0.510 = 0.281 m

Note uₓ = horizontal component of the initial velocity.

a carnot engine absorbs 200J of heat from a reservoir at the temperature of the normal boiling point of water and rejects heat t
emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

The heat rejected is 146J.

The work done by the engine is 54J.

The thermal efficiency is 0.27

Explanation:

The efficiency of the carnot engine, which is working between a hot source at a temperature T_{1} and a cold source at a temperature T_{2}, is given by:

Efficiency=1-\frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}}

The normal boiling point of water is 373 K. (T_{1})

The temperature of triple point of water is 273.15 K (T_{2})

Efficiency=1-\frac{273.15}{373}=0.27

Efficiency=\frac{Work\:done}{Heat\:absorbed}=\frac{Work\:done}{200}=0.27\\Work\:done=0.27\times200=54J\\Work\:done=Heat\:absorbed-Heat\:rejected\\Heat\:rejected=Heat\:absorbed-Work\:done=200-54=146J

What happens when an electric current passes through a wire?
BartSMP [9]
When an electric current passes through a wire, there is a magnetic field produced.around the wire.  The direction of the magnetic field lines or the flux depends on the direction of current in the wire.   

an increase in the current in the wire increases the strength of the field.

A particle with a charge of − 5.10 nC is moving in a uniform magnetic field of B⃗ =−( 1.20 T )k^. The magnetic force on the part
marta [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Charge q=-5.10nC

Magnetic field B= -1.2T k

And the magnetic force

F =−( 3.30×10−7N )i+( 7.60×10−7N )j

Let the velocity be V(xi + yj + zk)

Then, the force is given as

Note i×i=j×j×k×k=0

i×j=k. j×i=-k

j×k=i. k×j=-i

k×i=j. i×k=-j

F= q(v×B)

−( 3.30×10−7N )i+( 7.60×10−7N )j =

q(xi + yj + zk) × -1.2k

−( 3.30×10−7N )i+( 7.60×10−7N )j=

q( -1.2x i×k - 1.2y j×k - 1.2z k×k)

−( 3.30×10−7N )i+( 7.60×10−7N )j=

q( 1.2xj - 1.2y i )

−( 3.30×10−7N )i+( 7.60×10−7N )j=

q( -1.2y i + 1.2x j)

So comparing comparing coefficients

let compare x axis component

-( 3.30×10−7N )i=-1.2qy i

−3.30×10−7N = -1.2qy

y= -3.3×10^-7/-1.2q

y= -3.3×10^-7/-1.2×-5.10×10^-9)

y=-53.92m/s

Let compare y-axisaxis

7.6×10−7N j = 1.2qx j

7.6×10−7N = 1.2qx

x= 7.6×10^-7/-1.2q

x= 7.6×10^-7/1.2×-5.10×10^-9)

x=-124.18m/s

a. Then, the velocity of the x component is x= -124.18m/s

b. Also, the velocity component of the y axis is =-53.92m/s

c. We will compute

V•F

V=-124.18i -53.92j

F=−( 3.30×10−7 N )i+( 7.60×10−7 N )j

Note

i.j=j.i=0. Also i.i = j.j =1

V•F is

(-124.18i-53.92j)•−(3.30×10−7N)i+(7.60×10−7 N )j =

4.1×10^-5 - 4.1×10^-5=0

V•F=0

d. Angle between V and F

V•F=|V||F|Cosx

0=|V||F|Cos

Cosx=0

x= arccos(0)

x=90°

Since the dot product is zero, from vectors , if the dot product of two vectors is zero, then the vectors are perpendicular to each other
