6 0

ANSWER: 4.0 N

EXPLANATION

The formula for Newton's second law is

F = ma

where:

  • F = force
  • m = mass
  • a = acceleration

<em>Given: </em>

mass (m) = 2.0 kg

acceleration (a) = 2.0 m/s^2

<em>Required:</em>

F = ?

<em>Equation: </em>

F = ma

<em>Solution: </em>

F = 2.0 x 2.0

<em>Answer:</em>

F = 4.0 N

A proton moves perpendicularly to a uniform magnetic field b with a speed of 3.7 × 107 m/s and experiences an acceleration of 5
svlad2 [7]
The magnetic force experienced by the proton is given by
F=qvB \sin \theta
where q is the proton charge, v its velocity, B the magnitude of the magnetic field and \theta the angle between the direction of v and B. Since the proton moves perpendicularly to the magnetic field, this angle is 90 degrees, so \sin \theta=1 and we can ignore it in the formula.

For Netwon's second law, the force is also equal to the proton mass times its acceleration:
F=ma

So we have
ma=qvB
from which we can find the magnitude of the field:
B= \frac{ma}{qv}= \frac{(1.67 \cdot 10^{-27}kg)(5\cdot 10^{13}m/s^2)}{(1-6 \cdot 10^{-19}C)(3.7 \cdot 10^7 m/s)}=0.014 T

A bird watcher meanders through the woods, walking 1.93 km due east, 1.03 km due south, and 3.84 km in a direction 52.8 ° north
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

Magnitude of displacement = 2.07 km

Magnitude of average velocity = 1.17 kmph

Explanation:

Let east represent positive x axis and north represent positive y axis.

A bird watcher meanders through the woods, walking 1.93 km due east, 1.03 km due south, and 3.84 km in a direction 52.8 ° north of west.

1.93 km due wast

           s ₁ = 1.93 i km

1.03 km due south

           s₂ = -1.03 j km

3.84 km in a direction 52.8 ° north of west

           s₃ = -3.84 cos 52.8 i + 3.84 sin 52.8 j = -2.32 i + 3.06 j km

Total displacement

          s = s ₁+  s₂+ s₃ = 1.93 i - 1.03 j -2.32 i + 3.06 j = -0.39 i + 2.03 j

  Magnitude of displacement, =\sqrt{(-0.39)^2+2.03^2}=2.07km

Time taken = 1.771 hour

Magnitude of average velocity, =\frac{2.07}{1.771}=1.17km/hr

According to Coulomb’s Law, what happens to the force when the distance increase between 2 particles?
ohaa [14]

Answer:

The size of the force varies inversely as the square of the distance between the two charges. Therefore, if the distance between the two charges is doubled, <u>the attraction or repulsion becomes weaker</u>, decreasing to one-fourth of the original value.

Explanation:

Coulomb’s law, mathematical description of the electric force between charged objects. Formulated by the 18th-century French physicist Charles-Augustin de Coulomb, it is analogous to Isaac Newton’s law of gravity.

Both gravitational and electric forces decrease with the square of the distance between the objects, and both forces act along a line between them. In Coulomb’s law, however, the magnitude and sign of the electric force are determined by the electric charge, rather than the mass, of an object. Thus, charge determines how electromagnetism influences the motion of charged objects. Charge is a basic property of matter. Every constituent of matter has an electric charge with a value that can be positive, negative, or zero.

Coulomb's Law says that the force between 2 charges is proportional to the product of the quantities of charge on each and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. The formula for Coulomb's Law is F=k\frac{q_{1}q_{2}   }{r^{2} }.

F is the force.

k is the Coulomb's constant (8.987*10^{9} \frac{Nm^{2} }{C^{2} }).

q_{1} is the electric charge of object 1.

q_{2} is the electric charge of object 2.

r is the distance between the two charges.

Electric force is inversely proportional to (r^{2}) instead of (r). As the distance between charges increases, the electric force decreases by a factor of \frac{1}{r^{2} }.

Two pebbles, Pebble A and Pebble B, are thrown horizontally with the same force. Pebble A's mass is 3 times the
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

Pebble A has 1/3 the acceleration as pebble B.

Explanation:

F = m×a

mass of a = 3 × mass of b (m_a = 3 × m_b)

Same starting force, F

m_a = mass of a

m_b = mass of b

a_a = acceleration of a

a_b = acceleration of b

F = m_a × a_a = m_b × a_b

3 × m_b × a_a = m_b × a_b

3 × a_a = a_b

OR

a_a = a_b / 3
