Answer:

The direction of the acceleration of the mass is due East.

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question include the following:

Mass = 5 kg

Force due South = 10 N.

Force due East = 15 N.

To know which direction the acceleration of the mass will go, we must first obtain the resultant force.

This is illustrated below:

Resultant force = 15 – 10 = 5 N

Therefore, the resultant force is 5 N due East since the larger force is due East

Since the resultant force is due East, it means that the mass will accelerate toward the East.

One speed skater starts across a frozen lake at an average speed of 8 m/s. Ten seconds later, a second speed skater starts from
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

40 s

Explanation:

After 10 seconds, the first skater would have a 8m/s * 10s = 80 m head start

Let t be the number of seconds after the second skater starts will the second skater overtake the first skater

The distance traveled by the first skater after t seconds is

s_1 = v_1t = 8t

Similarly the distance traveled by the 2nd skater after t seconds is

s_2 = v_2t = 10t

Since the 2nd skater catches up to the 1st one after 80 m behind, the distance traveled by the 2nd one must be 80m greater than the distance of the 1st skater

s_2 = s_1 + 80

We can substitute s_1 = 8t, s_2 = 10t

10t = 8t + 80

2t = 80

t = 80 / 2 = 40 s

A uniform electric field exists in the region between two oppositely charged plane parallel plates. a proton is released from re
dedylja [7]

According to Newton's second law

E.e = a * mp  ..... (1)

where

E is the magnitude of the electric field; e = 1.6 * 10^-19 is the elementary charge; mp = 1.67*10^-27 kg is the proton mass; a is the acceleration.

So, the distance

l = at^2/2 .......(2)

The proton accelerated

a = 2l / t^2 ...........(3)

From equations (1) and (3)

E= 32.51 V/m

Electric field

The physical field that surrounds electrically charged particles and exerts a force on all other charged particles in the field, either attracting or repelling them, is known as an electric field (also known as an E-field).  It can also refer to a system of charged particles' physical field. Electric charges and time-varying electric currents are the building blocks of electric fields. The electromagnetic field, one of the four fundamental interactions (also known as forces) of nature, manifests itself in both electric and magnetic fields.

A 1.50 cm high diamond ring is placed 20.0 cm from a concave mirror with radius of curvature 30.00 cm. The magnification is ____
Rama09 [41]

Answer:

Magnification, m = -0.42

Explanation:

It is given that,

Height of diamond ring, h = 1.5 cm

Object distance, u = -20 cm

Radius of curvature of concave mirror, R = 30 cm

Focal length of mirror, f = R/2 = -15 cm (focal length is negative for concave mirror)

Using mirror's formula :

\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{1}{u}+\dfrac{1}{v}, f = focal length of the mirror

\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{f}+\dfrac{1}{u}

\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{-15}+\dfrac{1}{-20}

v = -8.57 cm

The magnification of a mirror is given by,

m=\dfrac{-v}{u}

m=\dfrac{-(-8.57)}{-20}

m = -0.42

So, the magnification of the concave mirror is 0.42. Thew negative sign shows that the image is inverted.
