Answer:

<em>Fx = 121.24lb</em>

<em>F = 140lb</em>

Explanation:

Since we are not given the angles subtended by the force, we can assume it to be 30 degrees.

The y component of the force expressed by the formula:

Fy = Fsintheta

Given the y-component of the force F to bee 70lb

70lb = Fsintheta

Get magnitude of the force

F = 70/sin theta

F = 70/sin 30

F = 70/0.5

F = 140lb

Get the x-component of the force

Fx = Fcos theta

Fx = 140cos 30

Fx = 140(0.8660)

Fx = 1,212.4lb

<em>Hence the x-component of the force sis 121.24lb</em>

<em></em>

<em>Note that the angle used was assumed. Other values can as well be used</em>

A parallel-plate capacitor initially has a potential difference of 400 V and is then disconnected from the charging battery. If

Damm [24]

The capacitance of a capacitor is the ratio of the stored charge to its potential difference, i.e.

C = Q/ΔV

C is the capacitance

Q is the stored charge

ΔV is the potential difference

Rearrange the equation:

ΔV = Q/C

We also know the capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor is given by:

C = κε₀A/d

C is the capacitance

κ is the capacitor's dielectric constant

ε₀ is the electric constant

A is the area of the plates

d is the plate separation

If we substitute C:

ΔV = Qd/(κε₀A)

We assume the stored charge and the area of the plates don't change. Then if we double the plate spacing, i.e. we double the value of d, then the potential difference ΔV is also doubled.

A 0.400-kg ice puck, moving east with a speed of 5.86 m/s , has a head-on collision with a 0.900-kg puck initially at rest.

andreev551 [17]

Answer:

a) The final speed of the 0.400-kg puck after the collision is 2.254 meters per second, b) The negative sign of the solution found in part a) indicates that 0.400-kg puck is moving westwards, c) The speed of the 0.900-kg puck after the collision is 3.606 meters per second eastwards.

Explanation:

a) Since collision is perfectly elastic and there are no external forces exerted on pucks system, the phenomenon must be modelled after the Principles of Momentum and Energy Conservation. Changes in gravitational potential energy can be neglected. That is:

Momentum

$m_{1}\cdot v_{1,o} + m_{2}\cdot v_{2,o} = m_{1}\cdot v_{1,f} + m_{2}\cdot v_{2,f}$

Energy

$\frac{1}{2}\cdot (m_{1}\cdot v_{1,o}^{2}+ m_{2}\cdot v_{2,o}^{2})=\frac{1}{2}\cdot (m_{1}\cdot v_{1,f}^{2}+ m_{2}\cdot v_{2,f}^{2})$

$m_{1}\cdot v_{1,o}^{2} + m_{2}\cdot v_{2,o}^{2} = m_{1}\cdot v_{1,f}^{2} + m_{2}\cdot v_{2,f}^{2}$

Where:

$m_{1}$ , $m_{2}$ - Masses of the 0.400-kg and 0.900-kg pucks, measured in kilograms.

$v_{1,o}$ , $v_{2,o}$ - Initial speeds of the 0.400-kg and 0.900-kg pucks, measured in meters per second.

$v_{1}$ , $v_{2}$ - Final speeds of the 0.400-kg and 0.900-kg pucks, measured in meters per second.

If $m_{1} = 0.400\,kg$ , $m_{2} = 0.900\,kg$ , $v_{1,o} = +5.86\,\frac{m}{s}$ , $v_{2,o} = 0\,\frac{m}{s}$ , the system of equation is simplified as follows:

$2.344\,\frac{kg\cdot m}{s} = 0.4\cdot v_{1,f} + 0.9\cdot v_{2,f}$

$13.736\,J = 0.4\cdot v_{1,f}^{2}+0.9\cdot v_{2,f}^{2}$

Let is clear $v_{1,f}$ in first equation:

$0.4\cdot v_{1,f} = 2.344 - 0.9\cdot v_{2,f}$

$v_{1,f} = 5.86-2.25\cdot v_{2,f}$

Now, the same variable is substituted in second equation and resulting expression is simplified and solved afterwards:

$13.736 = 0.4\cdot (5.86-2.25\cdot v_{2,f})^{2}+0.9\cdot v_{2,f}^{2}$

$13.736 = 0.4\cdot (34.340-26.37\cdot v_{2,f}+5.063\cdot v_{2,f}^{2})+0.9\cdot v_{2,f}^{2}$

$13.736 = 13.736-10.548\cdot v_{2,f} +2.925\cdot v_{2,f}^{2}$

$2.925\cdot v_{2,f}^{2}-10.548\cdot v_{2,f} = 0$

$2.925\cdot v_{2,f}\cdot (v_{2,f}-3.606) = 0$

There are two solutions:

$v_{2,f} = 0\,\frac{m}{s}$ or $v_{2,f} = 3.606\,\frac{m}{s}$

The first root coincides with the conditions before collision and the second one represents a physically reasonable solution.

Now, the final speed of the 0.400-kg puck is: ( $v_{2,f} = 3.606\,\frac{m}{s}$ )

$v_{1,f} = 5.86-2.25\cdot (3.606)$

$v_{1,f} = -2.254\,\frac{m}{s}$

The final speed of the 0.400-kg puck after the collision is 2.254 meters per second.

b) The negative sign of the solution found in part a) indicates that 0.400-kg puck is moving westwards.

c) The speed of the 0.900-kg puck after the collision is 3.606 meters per second eastwards.

A fan cart initially has an acceleration of 1.6m/s/s when it's fan is directed straight backwards. If you rotate the fan by 45°,

Sholpan [36]

Answer:

A Fan Cart Initially Has An Acceleration Of 1.6m/s/s When It's Fan Is Directed Straight Backwards. If You Rotate The Fan By 45o, By What Percentage Do You Expect The Fan Cart's Thrust To Decrease? (Answer Should Be In Units Of 96)

a. 45%

b. 29%

c. 71%

d. 50%

The correct answer is d.

d. 50%

Explanation:

Fan cart acceleration = 1.6 m/s²

Thrust = 0.25×π×D²×ρ×v×Δv

where Δv = acceleration component and all factors remaining cconstant, when the fan is rotated by 45 ° the diameter changes to D₂ = sin 45 ×D

or 0.707×D. The thrust becomes 0.25×π×(0.707×D)²×ρ×v×Δv

=0.25×π×0.5×D²×ρ×v×Δv or 0.5(0.25×π×D²×ρ×v×Δv)

That is the thrust reduces by 50 %
