Answer:

Yes, when an apple falls towards the earth, the apple gets accelerated and comes down due to the gravitational force of attraction used by the earth. The apple also exerts an equal and opposite force on the earth but the earth does not move because the mass of the apple is very small, due to which the gravitational force produces a large acceleration in it (a = F/m) but the mass of the earth is very large, the same gravitational force produces very small acceleration in the earth and we don't see the earth rising towards the apple.

Three point charges are placed on the y-axis: a charge q at y=a, a charge –2q at the origin, and a charge q at y= –a. Such an ar
den301095 [7]

Answer:

electric field   Et = kq [1 / (x-a)² -2 / x² + 1 / (x+a)²]

Explanation:

The electric field is a vector, so it must be added as vectors, in this problem both the charges and the calculation point are on the same x-axis so we can work in a single dimension, remembering that the test charge is always positive whereby the direction of the field will depend on the load under analysis, if the field is positive, if the field is negative.

 a) Let's write the electric field for each charge and the total field

       E = k q /r

With k the Coulomb constant, q the charge and r the distance of the charge to the test point

       Et = E1 + E2 + E3

       E1 = k q / (x-a)²

       E2 = k (-2q) / x²  

       E3 = k q / (x + a)²

       Et = kq [1 / (x-a)² -2 / x² + 1 / (x+a)²]

The direction of the field is along the x axis

b) To use a binomial expansion we must have an expression the form (1-x)⁻ⁿ  where x << 1, for this we take factor like x from all the equations

       Et = kq/ x² [1 / (1-a/x)² - 2 + 1 / (1+a/x)²]

We use binomial expansion

     (1+x)⁻² = 1 -nx + n (n-1) 2! x² +… x << 1

     (1-x)⁻² = 1 +nx + n (n-1) 2! x² + ...

They replace in the total field and leaving only the first terms

       

   Et =kq/x² [-2 +(1 +2 a/x + 2 (2-1)/2 (a/x)² +…) + (1 -2 a/x + 2(2-1) /2 (a/x)² +.) ]

   Et = kq/x² [a²/x² + a²/x²2] = kq /x² [2 a²/x²]

Et = k q 2a²/x⁴

point charge

Et = k q 1/x²

Dipole

E = k q a/x³

To qualify to run in the 2005 Boston Marathon, a distance of 26.2 miles, an 18-year-old woman had to have completed another mara
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

7,14545 mph and 3,1936 m/s

Explanation:

The average speed is calculated by dividing the displacement over time, then it is 26,2 miles/(3 2/3 hours), here 3 (2/3) hours is a mixed number, that represents 11/3 hours or 3,66 hours. Then the average speed is 7,14545 mph, now to turn this into meters per second, we notice as mentioned that 1 mile =1609 meters and 1 hour=3600 seconds. Then 7,14545 miles/hour* (1 hour/3600 seconds) * (1609 meters/1 mile)=3,1936 m/s

Can someone pleaseEeeeeeee ASAP answer this❗️❗️❗️❗️ I really need help it is my second time posting this❗️❗️❗️❗️
belka [17]

Answer:

Data:-vi=om/s (b/c as in question penny is dropped from building means before coming to ground its initial state or velocity was considered as zero ) now distance or height h=380m and now we have to find the final velocity vf=? and the time t=?

Explanation:

So applying second eq of motion s=vit+1/2×gt² (here we have taken a gravity b/c when ever body is in vertical position then acceleration due to gravity is applied ) s=0×t+1/2×gt² , s=0+1/2×9.8×t² ,380=4.9t² we have to find t so 4.9t²=380 , t²=380÷4.9 , t²=77.55 now sq root on b/s

\sqrt{t }  =  \sqrt{77.55}

so t=8.806s and now apply 1st eq o²f motion to find out vf so vf=vi+gt , vf=0+9.8×8.806 ,vf=86.298 and if you want to verify that either this is answer is correct or not so put the value of t in second eq of motion and if you got distance same as give in the question so your value of t is considered as correct likewise s=vit+1/2gt² , s=0+1/2×9.8(8.806)²,s=4.9×77.55 ,s=380m (proved) I hope it would be helpfull

A balloon drifts 140 m toward the west in 45 s; then the wind suddenly changes and the balloon flies 90 m toward the east in the
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

1 ) 140 m west in 45 s .

2 ) 90 m east in 25 s .

a )

distance travelled in first 45 s = 140 m

b ) distance travelled in next 25 s = 90 m

c ) Total distance travelled = 140 m + 90 m

= 230 m

d ) average speed in first 45 s

= distance in 45 s  45

= 140 / 45 = 3.11 m /s

e ) average speed in next 25 s

distance in 25 s / 25

= 90 / 25 = 3.6 m /s

f ) average in entire trip

=  total distance / total time

= (140 + 90) / ( 25 + 45 )

= 3.28 m /s

g )

displacement in first 45 s = 140 m towards west

h )

displacement in next 25 s = 90 m towards east

i )

total displacement = 140 - 90

= 50 m towards west .
