Answer:

B - Person A's chair rolls backwards.

Explanation:

This can be seen simply through the Conservation of Momentum. When the ball is thrown to be, the ball's momentum(+m) is transfererd to B, so B's chair moves forward(think about it - it makes sense, doesn't it?), meaning A's chair moves backwards.

So, B.

Coulomb’s law and static point charge ensembles (15 points). A test charge of 2C is located at point (3, 3, 5) in Cartesian coor
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

a) F_{r}= -583.72MN i + 183.47MN j + 6.05GN k

b) E=3.04 \frac{GN}{C}

Step-by-step explanation.

In order to solve this problem, we mus start by plotting the given points and charges. That will help us visualize the problem better and determine the direction of the forces (see attached picture).

Once we drew the points, we can start calculating the forces:

r_{AP}^{2}=(3-0)^{2}+(3-0)^{2}+(5+0)^{2}

which yields:

r_{AP}^{2}= 43 m^{2}

(I will assume the positions are in meters)

Next, we can make use of the force formula:

F=k_{e}\frac{q_{1}q_{2}}{r^{2}}

so we substitute the values:

F_{AP}=(8.99x10^{9})\frac{(1C)(2C)}{43m^{2}}

which yields:

F_{AP}=418.14 MN

Now we can find its components:

F_{APx}=418.14 MN*\frac{3}{\sqrt{43}}i

F_{APx}=191.30 MNi

F_{APy}=418.14 MN*\frac{3}{\sqrt{43}}j

F_{APy}=191.30MN j

F_{APz}=418.14 MN*\frac{5}{\sqrt{43}}k

F_{APz}=318.83 MN k

And we can now write them together for the first force, so we get:

F_{AP}=(191.30i+191.30j+318.83k)MN

We continue with the next force. The procedure is the same so we get:

r_{BP}^{2}=(3-1)^{2}+(3-1)^{2}+(5+0)^{2}

which yields:

r_{BP}^{2}= 33 m^{2}

Next, we can make use of the force formula:

F_{BP}=(8.99x10^{9})\frac{(4C)(2C)}{33m^{2}}

which yields:

F_{BP}=2.18 GN

Now we can find its components:

F_{BPx}=2.18 GN*\frac{2}{\sqrt{33}}i

F_{BPx}=758.98 MNi

F_{BPy}=2.18 GN*\frac{2}{\sqrt{33}}j

F_{BPy}=758.98MN j

F_{BPz}=2.18 GN*\frac{5}{\sqrt{33}}k

F_{BPz}=1.897 GN k

And we can now write them together for the second, so we get:

F_{BP}=(758.98i + 758.98j + 1897k)MN

We continue with the next force. The procedure is the same so we get:

r_{CP}^{2}=(3-5)^{2}+(3-4)^{2}+(5-0)^{2}

which yields:

r_{CP}^{2}= 30 m^{2}

Next, we can make use of the force formula:

F_{CP}=(8.99x10^{9})\frac{(7C)(2C)}{30m^{2}}

which yields:

F_{CP}=4.20 GN

Now we can find its components:

F_{CPx}=4.20 GN*\frac{-2}{\sqrt{30}}i

F_{CPx}=-1.534 GNi

F_{CPy}=4.20 GN*\frac{2}{\sqrt{30}}j

F_{CPy}=-766.81 MN j

F_{CPz}=4.20 GN*\frac{5}{\sqrt{30}}k

F_{CPz}=3.83 GN k

And we can now write them together for the third force, so we get:

F_{CP}=(-1.534i - 0.76681j +3.83k)GN

So in order to find the resultant force, we need to add the forces together:

F_{r}=F_{AP}+F_{BP}+F_{CP}

so we get:

F_{r}=(191.30i+191.30j+318.83k)MN + (758.98i + 758.98j + 1897k)MN + (-1.534i - 0.76681j +3.83k)GN

So when adding the problem together we get that:

F_{r}=(-0.583.72i + 0.18347j +6.05k)GN

which is the answer to part a), now let's take a look at part b).

b)

Basically, we need to find the magnitude of the force and divide it into the test charge, so we get:

F_{r}=\sqrt{(-0.583.72)^{2} + (0.18347)^{2} +(6.05)^{2}}

which yields:

F_{r}=6.08 GN

and now we take the formula for the electric field which is:

E=\frac{F_{r}}{q}

so we go ahead and substitute:

E=\frac{6.08GN}{2C}

E=3.04\frac{GN}{C}

Liam throws a water balloon horizontally at 8.2 m/s out of a window 18 m from the ground.
Alecsey [184]

Time taken by the water balloon to reach the bottom will be given as

h = \frac{1}{2} gt^2

here we know that

h = 18 m

g = 9.8 m/s^2

now by the above formula

18 = \frac{1}{2}*9.8* t^2

18 = 4.9 t^2

t = 1.92 s

now in the same time interval we can say the distance moved by it will be

d = v_x * t

d = 8.2 * 1.92 = 15.7 m

so it will fall at a distance 15.7 m from its initial position

Water waves in a small tank are 6.6 m long. They travel at a speed of 2.9 m/s. What is the frequency of the water
liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

.439 Hz

Explanation:

Wavelength = 6.6 m

speed = 2.9 m/s

  2.9 = 6.6 f

f = 2.9/6.6 =  .439 Hz
