Explanation:

The kinetic-molecular theory of gases can be stated as four postulates: A gas consists of molecules in constant random motion. Gas molecules influence each other only by collision; they exert no other forces on each other. All collisions between gas molecules are perfectly elastic; all kinetic energy is conserved.

After a while, the car started to go around a long bend, still maintaining its constant speed of 55 miles per hour. Is there a n

sukhopar [10]

Answer:

4) True. The change of direction needs an unbalanced force

Explanation:

Let us propose the resolution of the problem using Newton's second law.

F = m a

As the car is spinning the acceleration is centripetal

a = v2.r

F = m v2 / r

We can see that as the velocity of a vector even if its module does not change, the change of direction requires an external force.

Now we can analyze the statement if they are true or false

1) and 3) False, even when the speed changes, the direction changes

2) False with the speed change can be determined

4) True. The change of direction needs an unbalanced force

5) False are different things. the direction is where it is going and the speed is the magnitude of the vector

Four charges with equal magnitudes of 10.6 × 10-12 C are placed at the corners of a rectangle. The lengths of the sides of the r

cricket20 [7]

Answer:

Figure a. E_net = 99.518 N/C

Figure b. E_net = 177.151 N / C

Explanation:

Given:

- Attachment for figures missing in the question.

- The dimensions for rectangle are = 7.79 x 3.99 cm

- All four charges have equal magnitude Q = 10.6*10^-12 C

Find:

Find the magnitude of the electric field at the center of the rectangle in Figures a and b.

Solution:

- The Electric field generated by an charged particle Q at a distance r is given by:

E = k*Q / r^2

- Where, k is the coulomb's constant = 8.99 * 10^9

Part a)

- First we see that the charges +Q_1 and +Q_3 produce and electric field equal but opposite in nature. So the sum of Electric fields:

E_1 + E_3 = 0

- For Charges -Q_2 and +Q_4, they are equal in nature but act in the same direction towards the negative charge -Q_2. Hence, the net Electric Field at center of the rectangle can be given as:

E_net = E_2 + E_4

E_2 = E_4

E_net = 2*E = 2*k*Q / r^2

- The distance r from each corner to mid-point of the rectangle is constant. It can be evaluated by Pythagoras Theorem as follows:

r = sqrt ( (7.79/200)^2 + (3.99/200)^2 )

r = sqrt ( 1.9151*10^-3 ) = 0.043762 m

- Plug the values in the E_net expression developed above:

E_net = 2*(8.99*10^9)*(10.6*10^-12) / 1.9151*10^-3

E_net = 99.518 N/C

Part b)

- Similarly for Figure b, for Charges -Q_2 and +Q_4, they are equal in nature but act in the same direction towards the negative charge -Q_2. Also, Charges -Q_1 and +Q_3, they are equal in nature but act in the same direction towards the negative charge -Q_1. These Electric fields are equal in magnitude to what we calculated in part a).

- To find the vector sum of two Electric Fields E_1,3 and E_2,4 we see the horizontal components of each cancels each other out. While the vertical components E_1,3 and E_2,4 are equal in magnitude and direction.

Hence,

E_net = 2*E_part(a)*cos(Q)

- Where, Q is the angle between resultant, vertical in direction, and each of the electric field. We can calculate Q using trigonometry as follows:

Q = arctan ( 3.99 / 7.79 ) = 27.12 degrees.

- Now, compute the net electric field E_net:

E_net = 2*(99.518)*cos(27.12)

E_net = 177.151 N / C
