Answer:

F = 93.49 × 10^(-9) N

Explanation:

We are given;

Length of rectangle; a = 1.1 m

Width of rectangle; b = 0.9 m

Charge on rectangle; q = 2.3 × 10^(-9) C

Formula for force is;

F = kq²/r²

Where;

k is a constant = 8.99 x 10^(9) N.m²/C²

a) on the width side, we have;

F = [8.99 x 10^(9) × (2.3 × 10^(-9))²]/0.9²

F = 58.79 × 10^(-9) N

This is on the y-axis

b) on the length side, we have;

F = [8.99 x 10^(9) × (2.3 × 10^(-9))²]/1.1²

F = 39.3 × 10^(-9) N

This is on the x-axis

C) using pythagoras theorem, for the diagonal side, we have c² = a² + b².

Thus;

F = [8.99 x 10^(9) × (2.3 × 10^(-9))²]/(1.1² + 0.9²)

F = 23.54 × 10^(-9) N

Using trigonometric ratios, we can find the angle θ.

tan θ = b/a

tan θ = 0.9/1.1

tan θ = 0.8182

θ = tan^(-1) 0.8182

θ = 39.29°

Resolving along x and y axis, we have;

F_x = 23.54 × 10^(-9) × cos 39.29°

F_x = 18.22 × 10^(-9) N

F_y = 23.54 × 10^(-9) × sin 39.29°

F_y = 14.91 × 10^(-9) N

Resultant force will be;

F = √((Σf_x)² + (ΣF_y)²)

F = √[(18.22 × 10^(-9)) + (39.3 × 10^(-9))]² + [(14.91 × 10^(-9)) + (58.79 × 10^(-9))²]

F = √[(33.0855 × 10^(-16)) + (54.317 × 10^(-16))]

F = 93.49 × 10^(-9) N

A boat sails south with the help of a wind blowing in the direction S36°E with magnitude 300 lb. Find the work done by the wind
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

The work done by the wind as the boat moves 130 ft is (rounded) W= 31,550 ft-lb.

Explanation:

F= 300 lb < -54º

Fsouth= 300 lb * cos(36º)

Fsouth= 242.7 lb

d= 130 ft

W= F*d

W= 31551 ft-lb

MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

Energy Lost for group A's car = 0.687 J

Energy Lost for group B's car = 0.55 J

Explanation:

The exact question is as follows :

Given - The energy of an object can be converted to heat due to the friction of the car on the hill. The difference between the potential energy of the car and its kinetic energy at the bottom of the hill equals the energy lost due to friction.

To find - How much energy is lost due to heat for group A's car ?

              How much for Group B's car ?

Solution -

We know that,

GPE = 1 Joule (Potential Energy)

Now,

For Group A -

Energy Lost = GPE - KE

                    = 1 J - 0.313 J

                    = 0.687 J

So,

Energy Lost for group A's car = 0.687 J

Now,

For Group B -

Energy Lost = GPE - KE

                    = 1 J - 0.45 J

                    = 0.55 J

So,

Energy Lost for group B's car = 0.55 J

How can we use thermal energy to our advantage?
devlian [24]

Answer:

One of the primary advantages of thermal power is that the generation costs are extremely low. No fuel is needed to generate the power, and the minimal energy needed to pump water to the Earth's surface can be taken from the total energy yield.
