Answer:

(a) $F_{net}$ = 4.19 x $10^{-5}$ N, and its direction is towards $m_{2}$ .

(b) It must be placed inside a hollow shell.

Explanation:

Let, $m_{1}$ = 165 kg, $m_{2}$ = 465 kg, $m_{3}$ = 60 kg, and the distance between $m_{1}$ and $m_{2}$ is 0.340 m.

(a) Since $m_{3}$ is placed midway between $m_{1}$ and $m_{2}$ , then its distance to both masses is 0.170 m.

From the Newton's law of universal gravitation,

F = $\frac{Gm_{1}m_{2} }{r^{2} }$

Where all variables have their usual meaning.

Then,

a. $F_{net}$ = $F_{23}$ - $F_{13}$

$F_{13}$ = $\frac{6.67*10^{-11}*165*60 }{(0.17)^{2} }$

= 2.25 x $10^{-5}$ N

$F_{23}$ = $\frac{6.67*10^{-11}*465*60 }{(0.17)^{2} }$

= 6.44 x $10^{-5}$ N

∴ $F_{net}$ = = 6.44 x $10^{-5}$ - 2.25 x $10^{-5}$

= 4.19 x $10^{-5}$ N

The net force exerted by the two masses on the 60 kg object is 4.19 x $10^{-5}$ N.

(ii) / $F_{net}$ / = / $F_{23}$ / - / $F_{13}$ /

= 6.44 x $10^{-5}$ - 2.25 x $10^{-5}$

= 4.19 x $10^{-5}$ N

(iii) The direction of the net force is to the right i.e towards $m_{2}$ .

(b) For the net force experienced by the 60 kg object to be zero, it must be placed inside a hollow shell.

Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

16200 J

Explanation:

t = Time the battery is on = 60 hours

I = Current = $15\times 10^{-3}\ A$

Average voltage

$V=\dfrac{6+4}{2}=5\ V$

Energy is given by

$E=V\times I\times t$

$\\\Rightarrow E=5\times 15\times 10^{-3}\times 60\times 3600$

$\\\Rightarrow E=16200\ J$

The energy delivered in the given time is 16200 J

Unlike most real bulbs, the resistances of the bulbs in the questions below do not change as the current through them changes. A

Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

Option 1 is correct.

The current passing through the brighter bulb is larger.

Explanation:

The brightness of the bulb is determined by the power, I²R

And since they all have equal resistances, the only factor different that could result in more or less power is the current, I through the bulb.

A brick lands 10.1 m from the base of a building. If it was given an initial velocity of 8.6 m/s [61º above the horizontal], how

Montano1993 [528]

<h2>Answer: 10.52m</h2><h2 />

First, we have to establish the <u>reference system</u>. Let's assume that the building is on the negative y-axis and that the brick was thrown at the origin (see figure attached).

According to this, the initial velocity $V_{o}$ has two components, because the brick was thrown at an angle $\alpha=61\º$ :

$V_{ox}=V_{o}cos\alpha$ (1)

$V_{ox}=8.6\frac{m}{s}cos(61\º)=4.169\frac{m}{s}$ (2)

$V_{oy}=V_{o}sin\alpha$ (3)

$V_{oy}=8.6\frac{m}{s}sin(61\º)=7.521\frac{m}{s}$ (4)

As this is a projectile motion, we have two principal equations related:

<h2>In the x-axis: </h2>

$X=V_{ox}.t$ (5)

Where:

$X=10.1m$ is the distance where the brick landed

$t$ is the time in seconds

If we already know $X$ and $V_{ox}$ , we have to find the time (we will need it for the following equation):

$t= \frac{X}{ V_{ox}}$ (6)

$t=2.42s$ (7)

<h2>In the y-axis: </h2>

$-y=V_{oy}.t+\frac{1}{2}g.t^{2}$ (8)

Where:

$y$ is the height of the building (<u>in this case it has a negative sign because of the reference system we chose)</u>

$g=-9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ is the acceleration due gravity

Substituting the known values, including the time we found on equation (7) in equation (8), we will find the height of the building:

$-y=(7.521\frac{m}{s})(2.42s)+\frac{1}{2}(-9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}).(2.42s)^{2}$ (9)

$-y=-10.52m$ (10)

Multiplying by -1 each side of the equation:

$y=10.52m$ >>>>This is the height of the building

A free positive charge released in an electric field will:

choli [55]

Answer:

accelerate in the direction in which the electric field is pointing.

Explanation:

The positive charge feels a force in the same direction as the electric field

F=Eq

F and E are vectors, q is a scalar

(if it were a negative charge the force would be in the opposite direction)

that force will produce an acceleration in the same direction, that acceleration will cause the particle to move in the same direction, ie the direction of the electric field.
