Answer:

E = 0.93 10⁻⁶ N/C, 24º NorthEast

Explanation:

The electric force is related to the electric field by the relation

F = q E

where the bold letters indicate vectors and q is a scalar electric charge.

Using this equation the electric force is in the same direction as the electric field.

The magnitude of the field is

E = F / q

the charge they give us is q = 8.7 C

let's calculate

E = 8.1 10⁻⁶ / 8.7

E = 0.93 10⁻⁶ N / C

In summary, the magnitude of the electric field is E = 0.93 10⁻⁶ N/C and its direction is 24º NorthEast

A rock is thrown off a cliff at an angle of 53° with respect to the horizontal. The cliff is 100 m high. The initial speed of th

(a) 129.3 m

The motion of the rock is a projectile motion, consisting of two indipendent motions along the x- direction and the y-direction. In particular, the motion along the x- (horizontal) direction is a uniform motion with constant speed, while the motion along the y- (vertical) direction is an accelerated motion with constant acceleration $g=-9.8 m/s^2$ downward.

The maximum height of the rock is reached when the vertical component of the velocity becomes zero. The vertical velocity at time t is given by

$v(t) = v_0 sin \theta +gt$

where

$v_0 = 30 m/s$ is the initial velocity of the rock

$\theta=53^{\circ}$ is the angle

t is the time

Requiring $v(t)=0$ , we find the time at which the heigth is maximum:

$0=v_0 sin \theta + gt\\t=\frac{-v_0 sin \theta}{g}=-\frac{(30)(sin 53^{\circ})}{(-9.8)}=2.44 s$

The heigth of the rock at time t is given by

$y(t) = h+(v_0 sin\theta) t + \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

Where h=100 m is the initial heigth. Substituting t = 2.44 s, we find the maximum height of the rock:

$y=100+(30)(sin 53^{\circ})(2.44)+\frac{1}{2}(-9.8)(2.44)^2=129.3 m$

(b) 44.1 m

For this part of the problem, we just need to consider the horizontal motion of the rock. The horizontal displacement of the rock at time t is given by

$x(t) = (v_0 cos \theta) t$

where

$v_0 cos \theta$ is the horizontal component of the velocity, which remains constant during the entire motion

t is the time

If we substitute

t = 2.44 s

Which is the time at which the rock reaches the maximum height, we find how far the rock has moved at that time:

$x=(30)(cos 53^{\circ})(2.44)=44.1 m$

(c) 7.58 s

For this part, we need to consider the vertical motion again.

We said that the vertical position of the rock at time t is

$y(t) = h+(v_0 sin\theta) t + \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

By substituting

y(t)=0

We find the time t at which the rock reaches the heigth y=0, so the time at which the rock reaches the ground:

$0=100+(30)(sin 53^{\circ})t+\frac{1}{2}(-9.8)t^2\\0=100+23.96t-4.9t^2$

which gives two solutions:

t = -2.69 s (negative, we discard it)

t = 7.58 s --> this is our solution

(d) 136.8 m

The range of the rock can be simply calculated by calculating the horizontal distance travelled by the rock when it reaches the ground, so when

t = 7.58 s

Since the horizontal position of the rock is given by

$x(t) = (v_0 cos \theta) t$

Substituting

$v_0 = 30 m/s\\\theta=53^{\circ}$

and t = 7.58 s we find:

$x=(30)(cos 53^{\circ})(7.58)=136.8 m$

(e) (36.1 m, 128.3 m), (72.2 m, 117.4 m), (108.3 m, 67.4 m)

Using the equations of motions along the two directions:

$x(t) = (v_0 cos \theta) t$

$y(t) = h+(v_0 sin\theta) t + \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

And substituting the different times, we find:

$x(2.0 s)=(30)(cos 53^{\circ})(2.0)=36.1 m$

$y(2.0 s)= 100+(23.96)(2.0)-4.9(2.0)^2=128.3 m$

$x(4.0 s)=(30)(cos 53^{\circ})(4.0)=72.2 m$

$y(4.0 s)= 100+(23.96)(4.0)-4.9(4.0)^2=117.4 m$

$x(6.0 s)=(30)(cos 53^{\circ})(6.0)=108.3 m$

$y(6.0 s)= 100+(23.96)(6.0)-4.9(6.0)^2=67.4 m$

Answer:

W = 36 J

Explanation:

Potential energy converts to kinetic energy

½mv² = mgh

v = √(2gh)

vB = √(2(9.8)(7.1 - 0) = 11.796609... m/s

W = mg(hA) - mg(hB) = 0.8(9.8)(7.1 - 2.5) = 36.064 J
