The snowball travels a horizontal distance <em>x</em> and has height <em>y</em> at time <em>t</em> according to

<em>x</em> = <em>vt</em>

<em>y</em> = 0.9 m - 1/2 <em>gt</em> ²

where <em>g</em> = 9.8 m/s² is the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity.

Set <em>y</em> = 0 and solve for <em>t</em> :

0 = 0.9 m - 1/2 <em>gt</em> ²

<em>t</em> ² = (1.8 m) / <em>g</em>

<em>t</em> ≈ 0.43 s

The target is 2 m away from where the snowball is thrown, so it was thrown with speed <em>v</em> such that

2 m = <em>v </em>(0.429 s)

<em>v</em> = (2 m) / (0.43 s)

<em>v</em> ≈ 4.7 m/s

A wire 2.80 m in length carries a current of 5.20 A in a region where a uniform magnetic field has a magnitude of 0.430 T. Calcu
galina1969 [7]

Question:

A wire 2.80 m in length carries a current of 5.20 A in a region where a uniform magnetic field has a magnitude of 0.430 T. Calculate the magnitude of the magnetic force on the wire assuming the following angles between the magnetic field and the current.

(a)60 (b)90 (c)120

Answer:

(a)5.42 N (b)6.26 N (c)5.42 N

Explanation:

From the question

Length of wire (L) = 2.80 m

Current in wire (I) = 5.20 A

Magnetic field (B) = 0.430 T

Angle are different in each part.

The magnetic force is given by

F=I \times B \times L \times sin(\theta)

So from data

F = 5.20 A \times 0.430 T \times 2.80 sin(\theta)\\\\F=6.2608 sin(\theta) N

Now sub parts

(a)

\theta=60^{o}\\\\Force = 6.2608 sin(60^{o}) N\\\\Force = 5.42 N

(b)

\theta=90^{o}\\\\Force = 6.2608 sin(90^{o}) N\\\\Force = 6.26 N

(c)

\theta=120^{o}\\\\Force = 6.2608 sin(120^{o}) N\\\\Force = 5.42 N

How much work must be done to bring three electrons from a great distance apart to 3.0×10−10 m from one another (at the corners
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

Potential\ Energy=Work \ Done=2.301*10^{-18} J

Work  done to bring three electrons from a great distance apart to 3.0×10−10 m from one another (at the corners of an equilateral triangle) is 2.301*10^{-18} Joules

Explanation:

The potential energy is given by:

U=Q*V

where:

Q is the charge

V is the potential difference

Potential Difference=V=\frac{kq}{r}

So,

Potential\ Energy=\frac{Qkq}{r} \\Q=q\\Potential\ Energy=\frac{kq^2}{r}

Where:

k is Coulomb Constant=8.99*10^9 Nm^2/C^2

q is the charge on electron=-1.6*10^-19 C

r is the distance=3.0*10^{-10}m

For 3 Electrons Potential Energy or work Done is:

Potential\ Energy=3*\frac{kq^2}{r}

Potential\ Energy=3*\frac{(8.99*10^9)(-1.6*10^{-19})^2}{3*10^{-10}}\\Potential\ Energy=2.301*10^{-18} J

Work  done to bring three electrons from a great distance apart to 3.0×10−10 m from one another (at the corners of an equilateral triangle) is 2.301*10^{-18} Joules
