Answer:

a = 4/9  m/s^2  

Explanation:

We use the kinematics formula for distance (d) covered i accelerated motion:

d = vi t + (1/2) a t^2

and replace d= 2,  t = 3 and vi = 0 as per the information given:

2 = (1/2) a (3)^2

2 = (1/2) a (9)

a = 4 / 9 m/s^2

In the diagram, q1= -2.60*10^-9 C and
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

The magnitude of the net electric field is:

E_{net}=90.37\: N/c

Explanation:

The electric field due to q1 is a vertical positive vector toward q1 (we will call it E1).

On the other hand, the electric field due to q2 is a horizontal positive vector toward q2(We will call it E2).

Knowing this, the <u>magnitude of the net electric</u> field will be the<u> E1 + E2. </u>

Let's find first E1 and E2.

The electric field equation is given by:

|E_{1}|=k\frac{|q_{1}|}{d_{1}^{2}}

Where:

  • k is the Coulomb constant (k = 9*10^{9} Nm²/C²)
  • q1 is the first charge
  • d1 is the distance from q1 to P

|E_{1}|=(9*10^{9})\frac{|-2.60*10^{-9}|}{0.538^{2}}

|E_{1}|=80.84\: N/C

And E2 will be:

|E_{2}|=k\frac{|q_{2}|}{d_{2}{2}}

|E_{2}|=(9*10^{9})\frac{|-8.30*10^{-9}|}{1.36^{2}}

|E_{2}|=40.39\: N/C

Finally, we need to use the  Pythagoras theorem to find the magnitude of the net electric field.

E_{net}=\sqrt{E_{1}^{2}+E_{2}^{2}}

E_{net}=\sqrt{80.84^{2}+40.39^{2}}

E_{net}=90.37\: N/c

I hope it helps you!

What is the gpe of a 200 kg hot air ballon 21,000 m above the ground?
stiv31 [10]

gravitational Potential energy is given by

GPE = mgh

here we have

m = 200 kg

h = 21000 m

now we will have

GPE = 200(9.8)(21000)

GPE = 4.116 \times 10^7 J

so GPE of balloon will be 41160000 J above the given height from ground

Standing on the roof of a (42.0+A) m tall building, you throw a ball straight up with an initial speed of (14.5+B) m/s. If the b
RSB [31]
First, we must find the vertical distance traveled upwards by the ball due to the throw. For this, we will use the formula:

2as = v² - u²

Because the final velocity v is 0 in such cases

s = -u²/2a; because both u and a are downwards, the negative sign cancels

s = 14.5² / 2*9.81
s = 10.72 meters

Next, to find the time taken to reach the ground, we need the height above the ground. This is:
45 + 10.72 = 55.72 m

We will use the formula 
s = ut + 0.5at²

to find the time taken with the initial velocity u = 0.

55.72 = 0.5 * 9.81 * t²

t = 3.37 seconds
