particle of mass 59 g and charge 51 µC is released from rest when it is 32 cm from a second particle of charge −14 µC. Determine

AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

The initial acceleration of the 59g particle is $1062.7\frac{m}{s^{2}}$

Explanation:

Newton's second laws relates acceleration (a), net force(F) and mass (m) in the next way:

$F=ma$ (1)

We already know the mass of the particle so we should find the electric force on it to use on (1), the magnitude of the electric force between two charged objects by Columb's law is:

$F=k\frac{\mid q_{1}q_{2}\mid}{r^{2}}$

with q1 and q2 the charge of the particles, r the distance between them and k the constant $k=9.0\times10^{9}\,\frac{Nm^{2}}{C^{2}}$ . So:

$F=(9.0\times10^{9})\frac{\mid (51\times10^{-6})(-14\times10^{-6})\mid}{0.32^{2}}$

$F=62.7 N$

Using that value on (1) and solving for a

$a=\frac{F}{m}=\frac{62.7}{0.059}=1062.7\frac{m}{s^{2}}$

A car mass of 1.2 x 10 kilograms starts from rest and attains a speed of 20 meters/seconds in 5 seconds. What net force acted on

lorasvet [3.4K]

Net force on the car=F=4.8 x 10³ N

Explanation:

mass of car= 1.2 x 10³ Kg

initial velocity= Vi=0

Final velocity= Vf= 20 m/s

time = t= 5 s

Using kinematic equation,

Vf= Vi + at

20= 0 + a (5)

5 a=20

a= 20/5

a= 4 m/s²

Now force is given by F = ma

F= 1.2 x 10³ (4)

F=4.8 x 10³ N
