Answer:

smaller force is 20

Explanation:

Let, magnitude of the smaller force be F Newton.

Now, the resultant force makes an angle 90° with the smaller force. So, angle between resultant force and the larger force = (120° - 90°) = 30°.

So, tan 30° = (F * sin 120°) / (40 + F * cos 120°)

(1 / √3) = {F * (√3) / 2} / {40 + F * (- 1 / 2)}

80 - F = 3F

4F = 80

F = 20.

So, magnitude of smaller force is 20 Newtons.

How is energy transformation related to molecular activity.
rodikova [14]

Explanation:

  1. The law of conservation of energy states that when one form of energy is transformed to another, no energy is destroyed in the process. According to the law of conservation of energy, energy cannot be created or destroyed. So the total amount of energy is the same before and after any transformation.

Two balloons are charged with an identical quantity and type of charge: -4 nc They are held apart at a separation distance of 70
blagie [28]

Answer:

29.4 uN

Explanation:

The electric force between two charges can be calculated using Coulomb's Law. According to this law the force between two point charges is given as:

F=k\frac{q_{1} q_{2} }{r^{2}}

where k is a proportionality constant known as the Coulomb's law constant. Its value is 9 \times 10^{9} Nm²/C²

r = distance between charges = 70 cm = 0.7 m

q1 = q2 = 4nC = 4 \times 10^{-9} C

The negative sign indicates that the charges are negative. In the formula we will only use the magnitude of the charges.

Using these values in the formula, we get:

F=9 \times 10^{9} \times \frac{4 \times 10^{-9} \times 4 \times 10^{-9}}{0.7^{2}}\\\\ F=2.94\times10^{-7} N\\\\ F=29.4 \times 10^{-6} N\\\\ F=29.4 \mu N

Therefore, the magnitude of repulsive force between the given charges will be 29.4 uN

Which of these rotational quantities is analogous to mass in a linear system?
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

d

Explanation:

i think it is rotational inertia

because analogue of mass in rotational motion is moment of inertia. It plays the same role as mass plays in transnational motion.  

hope it's right & helps !!!!!!!!!

The average speed of a nitrogen molecule in air is about 6.70×102 m/s, and its mass is 4.68×10-26 kg.
Otrada [13]

Answer:

a)   a = 3.06 10¹⁵ m / s , b)    F= 1.43  10⁻¹⁰ N, c)    F_total = 14.32 10⁻²⁶ N

Explanation:

This exercise will average solve using the moment relationship.

a ) let's use the relationship between momentum and momentum

          I = ∫ F dt = Δp

          F t = m v_{f} - m v₀

          F = m (v_{f} -v₀o) / t

 in the exercise indicates that the speed module is the same, but in the opposite direction

          F = m (-2v) / t

if we use Newton's second law

          F = m a

we substitute

            - 2 mv / t = m a

            a = - 2 v / t

let's calculate

            a = - 2 4.59 10²/3 10⁻¹³

            a = 3.06 10¹⁵ m / s

b)      F= m a

        F= 4.68 10⁻²⁶ 3.06 10¹⁵

        F= 1.43  10⁻¹⁰ N

c) if we hit the wall for 1015 each exerts a force F

            F_total = n F

            F_total = n m a

            F_total = 10¹⁵  4.68 10⁻²⁶ 3.06 10¹⁵

            F_total = 14.32 10⁻²⁶ N

State the Newton 2nd law of motion and also prove that F= ma<br>​
saw5 [17]

Explanation:

F = ma is the formula of Newton's Second Law of Motion. Newton's Second Law of Motion is defined as Force is equal to the rate of change of momentum. For a constant mass, force equals mass times acceleration.
