Answer:

4.763 × 10⁶ N/C

Explanation:

Let E₁ be the electric field due to the 4.0 μC charge and E₂ be the electric field due to the -6.0 μC charge. At the third corner, E₁ points in the negative x direction and E₂ acts at an angle of 60 to the negative x - direction.

Resolving E₂ into horizontal and vertical components, we have

E₂cos60 as horizontal component and E₂sin60 as vertical component. E₁ has only horizontal component.

Summing the horizontal components we have

E₃ = -E₁ + (-E₂cos60) = -kq₁/r²- kq₂cos60/r²

= -k/r²(q₁ + q₂cos60)

= -k/r²(4 μC + (-6.0 μC)(1/2))

= -k/r²(4 μC - 3.0 μC)

= -k/r²(1 μC)

= -9 × 10⁹ Nm²/C²(1.0 × 10⁻⁶)/(0.10 m)²

=  -9 × 10⁵ N/C

Summing the vertical components, we have

E₄ = 0 + (-E₂sin60)

= -E₂sin60

= -kq₂sin60/r²

= -k(-6.0 μC)(0.8660)/(0.10 m)²

= -9 × 10⁹ Nm²/C²(-6.0 × 10⁻⁶)(0.8660)/(0.10 m)²

= 46.77 × 10⁵ N/C

The magnitude of the resultant electric field, E is thus

E = √(E₃² + E₄²) = √[(-9 × 10⁵ N/C)² + (46.77 10⁵ N/C)²) = (√226843.29) × 10⁴

= 476.28  × 10⁴ N/C

= 4.7628 × 10⁶ N/C

≅ 4.763 × 10⁶ N/C

4. A box of books weighing 325 N moves at a constant velocity across the floor when the box is pushed with a force of 425 N exer
Rudik [331]

Answer:

0.61°

Explanation:

Since the box move at constant velocity, it means there is no acceleration then we can say it has a balanced force system.

Pulling force= resistance force

From the formula for pulling force,

F(x)= Fcos(θ)

= 425×cos(35.2)

=347N

The force exerted downward at an angle of 35.2° below the horizontal= Fsin(θ)= 425sin(35.2)

=425×0.567=245N

Resistance force= (325N+ 245N) (α)= 570N(α)

We can now equates the pulling force to resistance force

570 (α)= 347N

(α)= 347/570

= 0.61

Robert has just bought a new model roket, and is trying to measure its flight characteristics. The rocket engine package claims
rewona [7]
At the peak of its flight ALL the energy given to the rocket is potential energy (its velocity is zero) and that is calculated as mgh So Energy given to rocket = mgh Energy expended by engine = F x D (D= height where engine stops) Energy 'lost' to drag is the difference between the two values. please if this helped mark it as the brainiest answer.

A swan on a lake gets airborne by flapping its wings and running on top of the water. If the swan must reach a velocity of 6.00
ira [324]

Answer:

A. 51.42 m.

B. 17.14 s.

Explanation:

Using equations of motion:

vf^2 = vi^2 + 2 * aS

Where,

vf = final velocity

a = acceleration

S = distance to which swan traveled

vi = 0 m/s

6.00^2 = 2 * 0.350S

S = 36/0.7

= 51.42 m.

B.

vf = vi + at

6 = 0 + 0.35t

t = 6/0.35

= 17.14 s.
