Is pushing a car across a smooth road positive, negative or zero work?

1 answer:

4 0

When you push a car, it will start moving at some speed (it has velocity). The car goes from zero energy to some amount of positive kinetic energy

A) Charge q1 = +5.60 nC is on the x-axis at x = 0 and an unknown charge q2 is on the x-axis at x = -4.00 cm. The total electric

Answer:

a) F₃₁ = 63.0 μN

b) F₃₂ = - 14.0 μN

c) q₂ = - 5.0 nC

Explanation:

Assuming that the three charges can be taken as point charges, the forces between them must obey Coulomb's Law, and can be found independent each other, applying the superposition principle.
So, we can find the force that q₁ exerts along the x-axis on q₃, as follows:

$F_{31} =\frac{k*q_{1}*q_{3} }{r_{13}^{2}} = \frac{9e9Nm2/C2*5.6e-9C*2.0e-9C}{(0.04m)^{2}} = 63.0 \mu N (1)$

Since total force exerted by q₁ and q₂ on q₃ is 49.0 μN, we can find the force exerted only by q₂ (which is along the x-axis only too) just by difference, as follows:

$F_{32} = F_{3} - F_{31} = 49.0\mu N - 63.0\mu N = -14.0 \mu N (2)$

Finally, in order to find the value of q₂, as we know the value and sign of F₃₂, we can apply again the Coulomb's Law, solving for q₂, as follows:

$q_{2} = \frac{F_{32} * r_{23}^{2} }{k*q_{3}} = \frac{(-14\mu N)*(0.08m)^{2}}{9e9Nm2/C2* 2 nC} = - 5 nC (3)$

adoni [48]

Answer:

1.7333333m/s²

Explanation:

Tension of the line = the weight + force from pulling up the fish

30N = mg + ma

30 = (6)(9.8) + (6)a

10.4 = 6a

∴ a = 1.7333333m/s²

Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

Autotrophs

Explanation:

When you go down a food chain continuing to ask "what does it eat?" the last living thing that you will land upon is an autotroph.

Autotrophs are the primary producers as they (photoautotrophs) use the energy either from the sun to prepare there food by the process of photosynthesis or, more rarely, obtain chemical energy through oxidation (chemoautotrophs) to make organic substances from inorganic ones.

Autotrophs get consumed by the primary consumers in the food chain.

Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

During a typical school day all forms of eneergy is being utilised and also transfer of energy takes place from one form to another.

Explanation:

Chemical energy- A bunsen burner burning a beaker filled with water.

Heat energy- The water in the beaker absorbing the heat from the burner.

Electrical energy- Running Fans and lights in a classroom by switches.

Solar energy- Solar energy harnessed by solar panels to run the fans and lights by converting it into electrical energy.

Potential energy- A ball being held by a student at a certain height possesses energy due to gravity.

Kinetic energy- The same ball being left by the boy from a certain height produces kinetic energy
