Answer:

Acceleration (a) is the change in velocity (Δv) over the change in time (Δt), represented by the equation a = Δv/Δt. This allows you to measure how fast velocity changes in meters per second squared (m/s^2).

*please refer to photo* An electric field of magnitude 5.25 ✕ 10^5N/C points due south at a certain location. Find the magnitude

kvv77 [185]

Answer:

Approximately $3.86\; {\rm N}$ (given that the magnitude of this charge is $-7.35\; {\rm \mu C}$ .)

Explanation:

If a charge of magnitude $q$ is placed in an electric field of magnitude $E$ , the magnitude of the electrostatic force on that charge would be $F = E\, q$ .

The magnitude of this charge is $q = 7.35\; {\rm \mu C}$ . Apply the unit conversion $1\; {\rm \mu C} = 10^{-6}\; {\rm C}$ :

$\begin{aligned} q &= 7.35\; {\mu C} \times \frac{10^{-6}\; {\rm C}}{1\; {\mu C}} = 7.35\times 10^{-6}\; {\rm C}\end{aligned}$ .

An electric field of magnitude $E = 5.25\times 10^{5}\; {\rm N \cdot C^{-1}}$ would exert on this charge a force with a magnitude of:

$\begin{aligned}F &= E\, q \\ &= 5.25 \times 10^{5}\; {\rm N \cdot C^{-1}} \times (-7.35\times 10^{-6}\; {\rm C}) \\ &\approx 3.86\; {\rm N}\end{aligned}$ .

Note that the electric charge in this question is negative. Hence, electrostatic force on this charge would be opposite in direction to the the electric field. Since the electric field points due south, the electrostatic force on this charge would point due north.

Strength of electromagnets

Lines of Force around an Electromagnet. ... The magnetic field strength of an electromagnet is therefore determined by the ampere turns of the coil with the more turns of wire in the coil the greater will be the strength of the magnetic field.

A 57 kg pole vaulter running at 11 m/s vaults over the bar. Her speed when she is above the bar is 1.1 m/s. The acceleration of

kari74 [83]

Answer:

Her altitude as she crosses the bar, h₂ is approximately 6.1 m

Explanation:

The given parameters of the motion of the pole vaulter are;

The mass of the pole vaulter, m = 57 kg

The speed with which the pole vaulter is running, u = 11 m/s

The speed of the pole vaulter when she crosses the bar, v = 1.1 m/s

The acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²

From the total mechanical energy, M.E. equation, we have;

M.E. = P.E. + K.E.

Where;

P.E. = The potential energy of the motion = m·g·h

K.E. = The kinetic energy of the motion = 1/2·m·v²

By the principle of conservation of energy, we have;

The change (loss) in kinetic energy, ΔK.E. = The change (gain) in potential energy, ΔP.E.

ΔK.E. = 1/2·m·(v² - u²)

ΔP.E. = m·g·(h₂ - h₁)

Where;

h₁ = The ground level = 0 m

h₂ = The altitude with which she crosses the bar

∴ 1/2·m·(v² - u²) = m·g·(h₂ - h₁)

(h₂ - h₁) = (v² - u²)/(2·g) = (11² - 1.1²)/(2·9.8) = 6.11173469388

h₂ = 6.11173469388 + h₁ = 6.11173469388 + 0 = 6.11173469388

h₂ = 6.11173469388

Her altitude as she crosses over the bar, h₂ ≈ 6.1 m.
