Answer:

  • R = ( 4.831 m , 1.469 m )
  • Magnitude of R = 5.049 m
  • Direction of R relative to the x axis= 16°54'33'

Explanation:

Knowing the magnitude and directions relative to the x axis, we can find the Cartesian representation of the vectors using the formula

\vec{A}= | \vec{A} | \ ( \ cos(\theta) \ , \ sin (\theta) \ )

where | \vec{A} | its the magnitude and θ.

So, for our vectors, we will have:

\vec{D}= 3.00 m \ ( \ cos(315) \ , \ sin (315) \ )

\vec{D}=  ( 2.121 m , -2.121 m )

and

\vec{E}= 4.50 m \ ( \ cos(53.0) \ , \ sin (53.0) \ )

\vec{E}= ( 2.71 m , 3.59 m )

Now, we can take the sum of the vectors

\vec{R} = \vec{D} + \vec{E}

\vec{R} = ( 2.121 \ m , -2.121 \ m ) + ( 2.71 \ m , 3.59 \ m )

\vec{R} = ( 2.121 \ m  + 2.71 \ m , -2.121 \ m + 3.59 \ m )

\vec{R} = ( 4.831 \ m , 1.469 \ m )

This is R in Cartesian representation, now, to find the magnitude we can use the Pythagorean theorem

|\vec{R}| = \sqrt{R_x^2 + R_y^2}

|\vec{R}| = \sqrt{(4.831 m)^2 + (1.469 m)^2}

|\vec{R}| = \sqrt{23.338 m^2 + 2.158 m^2}

|\vec{R}| = \sqrt{25.496 m^2}

|\vec{R}| = 5.049 m

To find the direction, we can use

\theta = arctan(\frac{R_y}{R_x})

\theta = arctan(\frac{1.469 \ m}{4.831 \ m})

\theta = arctan(0.304)

\theta = 16\°54'33''

As we are in the first quadrant, this is relative to the x axis.

Two point charges lie on the x axis. A charge of + 2.30 pC is at the origin, and a charge of − 4.50 pC is at x=−11.0cm.
Radda [10]

r₁ = distance of point A from charge q₁ = 0.13 m

r₂ = distance of point A from charge q₂ = 0.24 m

r₃ = distance of point A from charge q₃ = 0.13 m

Electric field by charge q₁ at A is given as

E₁ = k q₁ /r₁² = (9 x 10⁹) (2.30 x 10⁻¹²)/(0.13)² = 1.225 N/C     towards right

Electric field by charge q₂ at A is given as

E₂ = k q₂ /r₂² = (9 x 10⁹) (4.50 x 10⁻¹²)/(0.24)² = 0.703 N/C    towards left

Since the electric field in left direction is smaller, hence the electric field by the third charge must be in left direction

Electric field at A will be zero when

E₁ = E₂ + E₃

1.225 = 0.703 + E₃

E₃ = 0.522 N/C

Electric field by charge "q₃" is given as

E₃ = k q₃ /r₃²

0.522 = (9 x 10⁹) q₃/(0.13)²

q₃ = 0.980 x 10⁻¹² C = 0.980 pC

What is the equivalent resistance between points A and C if R1=1430, R2=1350, R3=1100, R4=1350, and R5=1150.
Marianna [84]

R1 + R4 = 1430 + 1350 = 2780 = R14    series combination of R1 & R4

R2 + R5 = 1350 + 1150 = 2500 = R25

The circuit has been reduced to 3 resistors in parallel

R314 = 2780 * 1100 / (2780 + 1100) = 788  this is the resistance of the parallel combination of R14 and R3

R31425 = 2500 * 788 / (2500 + 788) = 599 which is the equivalent of the circuit  - you can also use the formula for 3 resistors in parallel but this seems simpler

A helium atom (mass 4.0 u) moving at 598 m/s to the right collides with an oxygen molecule (mass 32 u) moving in the same direct
labwork [276]

Answer:

Speed of the helium after collision = 246 m/s

Explanation:

Given that

Mass of helium ,m₁ = 4 u

u₁=598 m/s

Mass of oxygen ,m₂ = 32 u

u₂  = 401 m/s

v₂ =445 m/s

Given that initially both are moving in the same direction and lets take they are moving in the right direction.

Speed of the helium after collision = v₁

There is no any external force on the masses that is why the linear momentum will be conserve.

Initial linear momentum = Final linear momentum

P = m v

m₁u₁+m₂u₂ = m₁v₁+m₂v₂

598 x 4 + 32 x 401 = 4 x v₁+ 32 x 445

v₁ = 246 m/s

Speed of the helium after collision = 246 m/s
