How do you calculate the magnitude of the resultant force of two

Physics

SCORPION-xisa [38]3 years ago

To find the resultant force subtract the magnitude of the smaller force from the magnitude of the larger force. The direction of the resultant force is in the same direction as the larger force. A force of 5 N acts to the right, and a force of 3 N act to the left. Calculate the resultant force.

Answer:

Two forces that act in opposite directions produce a resultant force that is smaller than either individual force. To find the resultant force subtract the magnitude of the smaller force from the magnitude of the larger force. The direction of the resultant force is in the same direction as the larger force.

The intensity of light from a star varies inversely as the square of the distance. If you lived on a planet ten times farther aw
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

the intensity of the sun on the other planet is a hundredth of that of the intensity of the sun on earth.

That is,

Intensity of sun on the other planet, Iₒ = (intensity of the sun on earth, Iₑ)/100

Explanation:

Let the intensity of light be represented by I

Let the distance of the star be d

I ∝ (1/d²)

I = k/d²

For the earth,

Iₑ = k/dₑ²

k = Iₑdₑ²

For the other planet, let intensity be Iₒ and distance be dₒ

Iₒ = k/dₒ²

But dₒ = 10dₑ

Iₒ = k/(10dₑ)²

Iₒ = k/100dₑ²

But k = Iₑdₑ²

Iₒ = Iₑdₑ²/100dₑ² = Iₑ/100

Iₒ = Iₑ/100

Meaning the intensity of the sun on the other planet is a hundredth of that of the intensity on earth.

A 0.10 g honeybee acquires a charge of +23 pC while flying.
kari74 [83]

Answer:

a) \frac{F}{w} =2.347\times 10^{-6}\ N

b) E=4.2609\times 10^7\ N.C^{-1} parallel to the earth surface.

  • In this case according to the Fleming's left hand rule the direction of movement of bee must be in a direction parallel to the earth surface and perpendicular to the electric field at the same time.

Explanation:

Given:

mass of the bee, m=10^{-4}\ kg

charge acquired by the bee, q_2=23\times 10^{-12}\ C

a.

Electrical field near the earth surface, E=100\ N.C^{-1}

Now the electric force on the bee:

we know:

F=\frac{1}{4\pi.\epsilon_0} \times \frac{q_1.q_2}{r^2}

F=E.q_2

F=100\times 23\times 10^{-12}

F=23\times 10^{-10}\ N

The weight of the bee:

w=m.g

w=10^{-4}\times 9.8

w=9.8\times10^{-4}\ N

Therefore the ratio :

\frac{F}{w} =\frac{23\times 10^{-10}}{9.8\times10^{-4}}

\frac{F}{w} =2.347\times 10^{-6}\ N

b.

The condition for the bee to hang is its weight must get balanced by the electric force acing equally in the opposite direction.

So,

F=9.8\times10^{-4}\ N

E.q_2=9.8\times10^{-4}\ N

E\times 23\times 10^{-12}=9.8\times10^{-4}\ N

E=4.2609\times 10^7\ N.C^{-1} parallel to the earth surface.

  • In this case according to the Fleming's left hand rule the direction of movement of bee must be in a direction parallel to the earth surface and perpendicular to the electric field at the same time.

DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

A) Electrons only

Explanation:

In quantum mechanics, "electron cloud" refers to the region of space where electrons can be found in an atom. In fact, in quantum mechanics, it is not possible to predict the exact position of the electrons, so there is a region where electrons have a certain probability to be found.
