Explanation:

To find the resultant force subtract the magnitude of the smaller force from the magnitude of the larger force. The direction of the resultant force is in the same direction as the larger force

A car is stopped for a traffic signal. When the light turns green, the car accelerates, increasing its speed from 0 to 5.40 m/s

tekilochka [14]

Answer:

a) 378Ns

b) 477.27N

Explanation:

Impulse is the defined as the product of the applied force and time taken. This is expressed according to the formula

I = Ft = m(v-u)

m is the mass = 70kg

v is the final velocity = 5.4m/s

u is the initial velocity = 0m/s

Get the impulse

I = m(v-u)

I = 70(5.4-0)

I = 70(5.4)

I = 378Ns

b) Average total force is expressed as

F = ma (Newton's second law)

F = m(v-u)/t

F = 378/0.792

F = 477.27N

Hence the average total force experienced by a 70.0-kg passenger in the car during the time the car accelerates is 477.27N

An electron is in motion at 4.0 × 106 m/s horizontally when it enters a region of space between two parallel plates, as shown, s

max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

xmax = 9.5cm

Explanation:

In this case, the trajectory described by the electron, when it enters in the region between the parallel plates, is a semi parabolic trajectory.

In order to find the horizontal distance traveled by the electron you first calculate the vertical acceleration of the electron.

You use the Newton second law and the electric force on the electron:

$F_e=qE=ma$ (1)

q: charge of the electron = 1.6*10^-19 C

m: mass of the electron = 9.1*10-31 kg

E: magnitude of the electric field = 4.0*10^2N/C

You solve the equation (1) for a:

$a=\frac{qE}{m}=\frac{(1.6*10^{-19}C)(4.0*10^2N/C)}{9.1*10^{-31}kg}=7.03*10^{13}\frac{m}{s^2}$

Next, you use the following formula for the maximum horizontal distance reached by an object, with semi parabolic motion at a height of d:

$x_{max}=v_o\sqrt{\frac{2d}{a}}$ (2)

Here, the height d is the distance between the plates d = 2.0cm = 0.02m

vo: initial velocity of the electron = 4.0*10^6m/s

You replace the values of the parameters in the equation (2):

$x_{max}=(4.0*10^6m/s)\sqrt{\frac{2(0.02m)}{7.03*10^{13}m/s^2}}\\\\x_{max}=0.095m=9.5cm$

The horizontal distance traveled by the electron is 9.5cm

When an object of weight w is suspended from the center of a massless string?

igomit [66]

I attached a picture of the diagram associated with this question.

Now,
When we check the vertical components of the tension in the rope, we will find that we have two equal components acting upwards.
These two components support the weight and each of them has a value of TcosΘ

The net force acting on the body is zero.
Fnet=Force of tension acting upwards-Force due to weight acting downwards
0 = 2TcosΘ -W
W = 2TcosΘ
T = W / 2cosΘ

The total amount of fresh water on earth is estimated to be 3.73 x 10^8 km^3. What is this volume in cubic meters? in cubic feet

Burka [1]

One km^3 is 1,000,000,000 m^3=10^9 m^3 hence 3.73 10^8 km^3 is 3.73 10^17 m^3

One meter is 3.28084 feet hence 1 m^3 is (3.28084)^3 feet

Thus 3.73 10^8 km^3 is 3.73*35.315 10^17 = 132 cubic feet
