Answer:

1.11m

Explanation:

From the diagram we are given the following forces;

F1 = 24.3N

F3 = 30N

Since the sum of upward forces is equal to that of downward force, then;

F2 = F1 + F3

F2 = 24.3N + 30N

F2 = 54.3N

Required

Distance between B and C

First we need to get Length of AC

Take moment about A

Anticlockwise moment = F3 cos20 * AC

Anticlockwise moment = 30ACcos 20

Clockwise moment = 1.2 * F2

Clockwise moment = 1.2(54.3) = 65.16Nm

Applying the principle of moment;

Sum of ACW moment = Sum of CW moments

30ACcos 20 = 65.16

AC = 65.16/30cos20

AC = 65.16/28.19

AC = 2.31m

Get the distance BC

AC = AB + BC

BC = AC-AB

BC = 2.31 - 1.2

BC = 1.11m

Hence the separation between B and C is 1.11m

Note that the force F1 got in (a) was the value used in the calculation.

A negative ion of charge -2e is located at the origin and a second negative ion of charge -3e is located nearby at x = 3.8 nm ,

Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

$\vec{F}_{21}=-5.63\times 10^{-11}N\\\\\vec{F}_{21}=\\$

Explanation:

Given that

$Q_1 = -2e\, C\\\\Q_2=-3e\,C\\\\x= 3.8 \times 10^{-9}\,m\\\\y= 3.2 \times 10^{-9}\,m\\\\r=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}\\\\r= 4.96\times 10^{-9} m\\$

As both charges are negative so there exist force of repulsion in direction as shown in figure.

$F_{12}=\frac{kQ_1Q_2}{r^2}\\\\F_{12}= \frac{(9\times 10^9)(6)(1.602\times 10^{-19})^2}{(4.96\times 10^{-9})^2}\\\\F_{12}=5.63\times 10^{-11}N$

Angle at which force F12 is acting is

$\theta=tan^{-1}\frac{3.2}{3.8}\\\\\theta=tan^{-1}\frac{y}{x}\\\\\theta= 40.1^o$

$F_{x}=F_{12}cos\theta\\\\F_{x}=(5.63\times 10^{-11})cos(40.1)\\\\F_{x}=4.306\times 10^{-11}N\\\\F_{y}=F_{12}sin\theta\\\\F_{y}=(5.63\times 10^{-11})sin(40.1)\\\\F_{y}=3.62\times 10^{-11}N\\\\$

$\vec{F}_{12}=\vec{F}_{x}+\vec{F}_y\\\\\vec{F}_{12}=4.30\times 10^{-11}\,\hat{i} + 3.62\times 10^{-11}\,\hat{j}\\\\\vec{F}_{12}=$

Force exerted on charge -2e is equal in magnitude to F12 but is in opposite direction

$F_{21}=-5.63\times 10^{-11}N$

$\vec{F}_{21}=$

In an arcade game a 0.099 kg disk is shot across a frictionless horizontal surface by compressing it against a spring and releas

Sonja [21]

Answer:

The speed of disk is 1.98 $\frac{m}{s}$

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of $m = 0.099$ kg

Spring constant $k = 244 \frac{N}{m}$

Compression of spring $x = 4 \times 10^{-2}$ m

From energy conservation theorem,

Spring potential energy converted into kinetic energy,

$\frac{1}{2} m v^{2} = \frac{1}{2} k x^{2}$

$v = \sqrt{\frac{k x^{2} }{m} }$

$v = \sqrt{\frac{244 \times 16 \times 10^{-4} }{0.099} }$

$v = 1.98 \frac{m}{s}$

Therefore, the speed of disk is 1.98 $\frac{m}{s}$

Sound is a type of mechanical wave and must have a medium through which to travel. Sound will move at different speeds when whic

Alex787 [66]

Hey there!

The answer would be B. The sound moves from air to water.

Sound travels through different mediums. It goes fastest in solids, a little slower in liquids, and slowest in air. Sound is a very fast wave, but remember that mediums can differ that. In a vacuum space, there is no sound at all. (ex. outer space)

Hope this helps !
