Answer:

450N

Explanation:

Given data

Mass m= 75kg

Acceleration= 6m/s^2

From the Newtons first law, F=ma

substitute

F=75*6

F= 450N

Hence the force is 450N

Before 1960, people believed that the maximum attainable coefficient of static friction for an automobile tire on a roadway was
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

4.18

Explanation:

Givens  

The car's initial velocity  v_{i}= 0 and covering a distance Δx = 1/4 mi = 402.336 m in a time interval t = 4.43 s.  

Knowns

We know that the maximum static friction force is given by:

f_{s_max} =μ_s*n                         (1)

Where μ_s is the coefficient of static friction and n is the normal force.  

Calculations  

(a) First, we calculate the acceleration needed to achieve this goal by substituting the given values into a proper kinematic equation as follows:

Δx=v_{i} +\frac{1}{2} at^2

a=41 m/s

This is the acceleration provided by the engine. Applying Newton's second law on the car, so in equilibrium, when the car is about to move, we find that:  

f_{y}=n-mg=0\\ n=mg\\f_{x}=F-f_{s,max} =0\\ f_{s,max}=F=ma\\

Substituting (3) into (1), we get:

f_{s,max}= μ_s*m*g

Equating this equation with (4), we get:

ma=  μ_s*m*g

 μ_s=a/g

      =4.18

The electric field strength is 5.50×10^4 N/C inside a parallel-plate capacitor with a 2.50 mm spacing. A proton is released from
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

v=1.6\times10^{5}m/s

Explanation:

The equation that relates electric field strength and force that a charge experiments by it is F=qE.

Newton's 2nd Law states F=ma, which for our case will mean:

a=\frac{F}{m}=\frac{qE}{m}

We know from accelerated motion that v^2=v_0^2+2ad

In our case the proton is released from rest, so v_0=0m/s and we get v=\sqrt{2ad}

Substituting, we get our final velocity equation:

v=\sqrt{\frac{2qEd}{m}}

For the <em>proton </em>we know that q=1.6\times10^{-19}C and m=1.67\times10^{-27}kg. Writing in S.I. d=0.0025m, we obtain:

v=\sqrt{\frac{2(1.6\times10^{-19}C)(5.5\times10^{4}N/C)(0.0025m)}{(1.67\times10^{-27}kg)}}=162318.5m/s=1.6\times10^{5}m/s

The practical limit to an electric field in air is about 3.00 × 10^6 N/C . Above this strength, sparking takes place because air
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

(a) x=157 m

(b) No

Explanation:

Given Data

Mass of proton m=1.67×10⁻²⁷kg

Charge of proton e=1.6×10⁻¹⁹C

Electric field E=3.00×10⁶ N/C

Speed of light c=3×10⁸ m/s

For part (a) distance would proton travel

Apply the third equation of motion

(v_{f})^{2} =(v_{i})^{2}+2ax

In this case vi=0 m/s and vf=c

so

c^{2}=(0)^{2}+2ax\\  c^{2}=2ax\\x=\frac{c^{2} }{2a}

x=\frac{c^{2}}{2a}--------Equation (i)

From the electric force on proton

F=qE\\where\\ F=ma\\so\\ma=qE\\a=\frac{qE}{m}\\

put this a(acceleration) in Equation (i)

So

x=\frac{c^{2} }{2(qE/m)}\\ x=\frac{mc^{2}}{2qE} \\x=\frac{(1.67*10^{-27})*(3*10^{8})^{2}  }{2*(1.6*10^{-19})*(3*10^{6})}\\ x=157m

For part (b)

No the proton would collide with air molecule
