A boat has a velocity of 5m/s North with respect to a river. It aims to reach point A, directly north across the river, which is

40 m wide. However, because of the river speed it reaches another point
b. If the speed of the current is 2m/s to the east, calculate the time of the trip and the distance between points A and
b.

Assume that block A which has a mass of 30 kg is being pushed to the left with a force of 75 N along a frictionless surface. Wha

Veronika [31]

Answer:

The force of friction acting on block B is approximately 26.7N. Note: this result does not match any value from your multiple choice list. Please see comment at the end of this answer.

Explanation:

The acting force F=75N pushes block A into acceleration to the left. Through a kinetic friction force, block B also accelerates to the left, however, the maximum of the friction force (which is unknown) makes block B accelerate by 0.5 m/s^2 slower than the block A, hence appearing it to accelerate with 0.5 m/s^2 to the right relative to the block A.

To solve this problem, start with setting up the net force equations for both block A and B:

$F_{Anet} = m_A\cdot a_A = F - F_{fr}\\F_{Bnet} = m_B\cdot a_B = F_{fr}$

where forces acting to the left are positive and those acting to the right are negative. The friction force F_fr in the first equation is due to A acting on B and in the second equation due to B acting on A. They are opposite in direction but have the same magnitude (Newton's third law). We also know that B accelerates 0.5 slower than A:

$a_B = a_A-0.5 \frac{m}{s^2}$

Now we can solve the system of 3 equations for a_A, a_B and finally for F_fr:

$30kg\cdot a_A = 75N - F_{fr}\\24kg\cdot a_B = F_{fr}\\a_B= a_A-0.5 \frac{m}{s^2}\\\implies \\a_A=\frac{87}{54}\frac{m}{s^2},\,\,\,a_B=\frac{10}{9}\frac{m}{s^2}\\F_{fr} = 24kg \cdot \frac{10}{9}\frac{m}{s^2}=\frac{80}{3}kg\frac{m}{s^2}\approx 26.7N$

The force of friction acting on block B is approximately 26.7N.

A ball is thrown horizontally from the top of a building 0.10 km high. The ball strikes the ground at a point 65 m horizontally

aivan3 [116]

Answer:

option B

Explanation:

given,

height of building = 0.1 km

ball strikes horizontally to ground at = 65 m

speed at which the ball strike = ?

vertical velocity = 0 m/s

time at which the ball strike

$s = \dfrac{1}{2}gt^2$

$t = \sqrt{\dfrac{2s}{g}}$

$t = \sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 100}{9.8}}$

t = 4.53 s

vertical velocity at the time 4.53 s = g × t = 9.8 × 4.53 = 44.39 m/s

horizontal velocity = $\dfrac{65}{4.53}$ =14.35 m/s

speed of the ball = $\sqrt{44.39^2+14.35^2}$

= 46.65 m/s

hence, the speed of the ball just before it strike the ground = 47 m/s

The correct answer is option B

Two charges, each of 2.9 microC are placed at two corners of a square 50cm on a side, If the charges are on one side of the squa

anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

The magnitude of the electric field and direction of electric field are $146.03\times10^{3}\ N/C$ and 75.36°.

Explanation:

Given that,

First charge $q_{1}= 2.9\mu C$

Second charge $q_{2}= 2.9\mu C$

Distance between two corners r= 50 cm

We need to calculate the electric field due to other charges at one corner

For E₁

Using formula of electric field

$E_{1}=\dfrac{kq}{r'^2}$

Put the value into the formula

$E_{1}=\dfrac{9\times10^{9}\times2.9\times10^{-6}}{(50\sqrt{2}\times10^{-2})^2}$

$E_{1}=52200=52.2\times10^{3}\ N/C$

For E₂,

Using formula of electric field

$E_{1}=\dfrac{kq}{r^2}$

Put the value into the formula

$E_{2}=\dfrac{9\times10^{9}\times2.9\times10^{-6}}{(50\times10^{-2})^2}$

$E_{2}=104400=104.4\times10^{3}\ N/C$

We need to calculate the horizontal electric field

$E_{x}=E_{1}\cos\theta$

$E_{x}=52.2\times10^{3}\times\cos45$

$E_{x}=36910.97=36.9\times10^{3}\ N/C$

We need to calculate the vertical electric field

$E_{y}=E_{2}+E_{1}\sin\theta$

$E_{y}=104.4\times10^{3}+52.2\times10^{3}\sin45$

$E_{y}=141310.97=141.3\times10^{3}\ N/C$

We need to calculate the net electric field

$E_{net}=\sqrt{E_{x}^2+E_{y}^2}$

Put the value into the formula

$E_{net}=\sqrt{(36.9\times10^{3})^2+(141.3\times10^{3})^2}$

$E_{net}=146038.69\ N/C$

$E_{net}=146.03\times10^{3}\ N/C$

We need to calculate the direction of electric field

Using formula of direction

$\tan\theta=\dfrac{141.3\times10^{3}}{36.9\times10^{3}}$

$\theta=\tan^{-1}(\dfrac{141.3\times10^{3}}{36.9\times10^{3}})$

$\theta=75.36^{\circ}$

Hence, The magnitude of the electric field and direction of electric field are $146.03\times10^{3}\ N/C$ and 75.36°.

Explain the difference between speed and velocity and indicate if these are scalar or vector quantities

Natali5045456 [20]

Speed can never be negative because it does not depend in which direction the car moves whereas, velocity will change if a car turns from due North to East.
Quantities which can be described only by their magnitudes are called scalars and those which are described by both, magnitude and direction are vectors
