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 roulette wheel with a 1.0m radius reaches a maximum angular speed of 18 rad/s before it stops 35 revolutions ( 220 rad ) after
Alex17521 [72]
Max ang. speed(u) = 18 rad/s
final ang. speed(v) = 0
ang. displacement(s) = 220 rad

ang. acceleration = (v^2 - u^2)/2s = -18^2 / 2*220 = -0.7364 rad/s^2

v = u +at
0 = 18 - 0.7364t
t = 18/0.7364
t = 24.44 seconds

Why is the air drag on a baseball different than it would be for a smooth ball with no stitches? How does this apply to the desi
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

The stitches and dimples around a baseball  and a golf ball respectively, disturbs the air drag on the balls once they are in motion, allowing the them to travel more easily.

Explanation:

The stitches on a baseball disturbs the air drag on the ball when the ball is in motion, allowing the ball to travel more easily. Depending on the orientation of the ball in flight, the drag changes as the flow is disturbed by the stitches.  

A smooth ball with no stitches or dimples has more air drag that opposes the motion.

A golf ball is smooth ball with dimples to create a thin turbulent boundary layer of air that clings to the ball's surface. This allows the smoothly flowing air to follow the ball's surface a little farther around the back side of the ball, thereby decreasing the size of the wake, and allowing the ball to travel more easily.

How does the change in the temperature of the universe provide evidence for universe expansion that supports the Big Bang Theory
xeze [42]

Question:

1) The universe is cooling which, according to the Big Bang Theory, is expected to happen as the cosmos accumulates.

2) The universe is warming which, according to the Big Bang Theory, is expected to happen as the cosmos disperses.

3) The universe is cooling which, according to the Big Bang Theory, is expected to happen as the cosmos disperses.

4) The universe is warming which, according to the Big Bang Theory, is expected to happen as the cosmos accumulates.​

Answer:

The correct option is;

3) The Universe is cooling which, according to the Big Bang Theory, is expected to happen as the cosmos disperses

Explanation:

With the temperature measurement carried out using the CSIRO radio telescope, Astronomers have been able to determine a temperature difference in the universe from 5.08 Kelvin 7.2 billion light years away to 2.73 Kelvin in the Universe today, which is in support of the Big Bang theory that as the Universe expanded from a state of extreme temperature that cools down as the Universe expands or the cosmos disperses.
