Answer:
<em>D. The total force on the particle with charge q is perpendicular to the bottom of the triangle.</em>
Explanation:
The image is shown below.
The force on the particle with charge q due to each charge Q = 
we designate this force as N
Since the charges form an equilateral triangle, then, the forces due to each particle with charge Q on the particle with charge q act at an angle of 60° below the horizontal x-axis.
Resolving the forces on the particle, we have
for the x-component
= N cosine 60° + (-N cosine 60°) = 0
for the y-component
= -f sine 60° + (-f sine 60) = -2N sine 60° = -2N(0.866) = -1.732N
The above indicates that there is no resultant force in the x-axis, since it is equal to zero ( = 0).
The total force is seen to act only in the y-axis, since it only has a y-component equivalent to 1.732 times the force due to each of the Q particles on q.
<em>The total force on the particle with charge q is therefore perpendicular to the bottom of the triangle.</em>
Answer: B) 2.5 m/s
Explanation: Find the average of the time and distance, and see how far they go in only 1 second.
1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 = 15
15 divided by 5 = 3
3 seconds
2 + 5 + 7 + 10 + 12 = 36
36 divided by 5 = 7.2
7.2m per 3 seconds.
7.2 divided by 3 = 2.4
Therefore, the answer is technically 2.4m/s
Answer:
The minumum speed the pail must have at its highest point if no water is to spill from it
= 2.64 m/s
Explanation:
Working with the forces acting on the water in the pail at any point.
The weight of water is always directed downwards.
The normal force exerted on the water by the pail is always directed towards the centre of the circle of the circular motion.
And the centripetal force, which keeps the system in its circular motion, is the net force as a result of those two previously mentioned force.
At the highest point of the motion, the top of the vertical circle, the weight and the normal force on the water are both directed downwards.
Net force = W + (normal force)
But the speed of this motion can be lowered enough to a point where the normal force becomes zero at the moment the pail reaches the highest point of its motion. Any speed lower than this value would result in the water spilling out of the pail. The water would not be able to resist the force of gravity.
At this point of minimum velocity,
Normal force = 0
Net force = W
Net force = centripetal force = (mv²/r)
W = mg
(mv²/r) = mg
r = 0.710 m
g = 9.8 m/s²
v² = gr = 9.8 × 0.71 = 6.958
v = √(6.958) = 2.64 m/s
Hope this Helps!!!
Path length is 2*pi*0.4=2.512
Speed=distance/time
Speed =2.512/0.2=12.56m/s
