Hans Full is pulling on a rope to drag his backpack to school across the ice. He pulls upwards and rightwards with a force of 22

.9 Newtons at an angle of 35 degrees above the horizontal to drag his backpack a horizontal distance of 129 meters to the right. Determine the work (in Joules) done upon the backpack.

Answer:

2420 J

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Force (F) = 22.9 N

Angle (θ) = 35°

Distance (d) = 129 m

Workdone (Wd) =?

The work done can be obtained by using the following formula:

Wd = Fd × Cos θ

Wd = 22.9 × 129 × Cos 35

Wd = 22.9 × 129 × 0.8192

Wd ≈ 2420 J

Thus, the workdone is 2420 J.

Two point charges 3q and −8q (with q > 0) are at x = 0 and x = L, respectively, and free to move. A third charge is placed so

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The unknown charge can not remain in between the charge given because force on the middle charge will act in the same direction due to both the remaining charges.

So the unknown charge is somewhere on negative side of x axis . Its charge will be negative . Let it be - Q and let it be at distance - x on x axis.

force on it due to rest of the charges will be equal and opposite so

k3q Q / x² =k 8q Q / (L+x)²

8x² = 3 (L+x)²

2√2 x = √3 (L+x)

2√2 x - √3 x = √3 L

x(2√2 - √3 ) = √3 L

x = √3 L / (2√2 - √3 )

Let us consider the balancing force on 3q

force on it due to -Q and -8q will be equal

kQ . 3q / x² = k3q 8q / L²

Q = 8q (x² / L²)

so charge required = - 8q (x² / L²)

and its distance from x on negative x side = √3 L / (2√2 - √3 )

Initially, a 2.00-kg mass is whirling at the end of a string (in a circular path of radius 0.750 m) on a horizontal frictionless

drek231 [11]

Answer:

$v_f = 15 \frac{m}{s}$

Explanation:

We can solve this problem using conservation of angular momentum.

The angular momentum $\vec{L}$ is

$\vec{L} = \vec{r} \times \vec{p}$

where $\vec{r}$ is the position and $\vec{p}$ the linear momentum.

We also know that the torque is

$\vec{\tau} = \frac{d\vec{L}}{dt} = \frac{d}{dt} ( \vec{r} \times \vec{p} )$

$\vec{\tau} = \frac{d}{dt} \vec{r} \times \vec{p} + \vec{r} \times \frac{d}{dt} \vec{p}$

$\vec{\tau} = \vec{v} \times \vec{p} + \vec{r} \times \vec{F}$

but, as the linear momentum is $\vec{p} = m \vec{v}$ this means that is parallel to the velocity, and the first term must equal zero

$\vec{v} \times \vec{p}=0$

so

$\vec{\tau} = \vec{r} \times \vec{F}$

But, as the only horizontal force is the tension of the string, the force must be parallel to the vector position measured from the vertical rod, so

$\vec{\tau}_{rod} = 0$

this means, for the angular momentum measure from the rod:

$\frac{d\vec{L}_{rod}}{dt} = 0$

that means :

$\vec{L}_{rod} = constant$

So, the magnitude of initial angular momentum is :

$| \vec{L}_{rod_i} | = |\vec{r}_i||\vec{p}_i| cos(\theta)$

but the angle is 90°, so:

$| \vec{L}_{rod_i} | = |\vec{r}_i||\vec{p}_i|$

$| \vec{L}_{rod_i} | = r_i * m * v_i$

We know that the distance to the rod is 0.750 m, the mass 2.00 kg and the speed 5 m/s, so:

$| \vec{L}_{rod_i} | = 0.750 \ m \ 2.00 \ kg \ 5 \ \frac{m}{s}$

$| \vec{L}_{rod_i} | = 7.5 \frac{kg m^2}{s}$

For our final angular momentum we have:

$| \vec{L}_{rod_f} | = r_f * m * v_f$

and the radius is 0.250 m and the mass is 2.00 kg

$| \vec{L}_{rod_f} | = 0.250 m * 2.00 kg * v_f$

but, as the angular momentum is constant, this must be equal to the initial angular momentum

$7.5 \frac{kg m^2}{s} = 0.250 m * 2.00 kg * v_f$

$v_f = \frac{7.5 \frac{kg m^2}{s}}{ 0.250 m * 2.00 kg}$

$v_f = 15 \frac{m}{s}$

What’s the difference between gravitational force & gravitational field strength?

Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

Gravitational field strength is the force experienced by a unit mass. Gravitational force is the amount of force acting on a body. It is the product of field strength times the mass under consideration. Gravitational pull is just a more colloquial name for gravitational force.
