To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the principles of conservation of Energy in order to obtain the final work done.
The electric field in terms of the Force can be expressed as
Where,
F = Force
E= Electric Field
q = Charge
Puesto que el trabajo realizado es equivalente al cambio en la energía cinetica entonces tenemos que
KE = W
KE = F*d
In the First Case,
In Second Case,
The total energy change would be subject to,
Therefore the Kinetic Energy change of the charged object is 27.976J
Answer:
59.26°
Explanation:
Since a is the acceleration of the particle B, the horizontal component of acceleration is a" = asinθ and the vertical component is a' = acosθ where θ angle between a with arrow and the positive direction of the y axis.
Now, for particle B to collide with particle A, it must move vertically the distance between A and B which is y = 31 m in time, t.
Using y = ut + 1/2a't² where u = initial velocity of particle B = 0 m/s, t = time taken for collision, a' = vertical component of particle B's acceleration = acosθ.
So, y = ut + 1/2a't²
y = 0 × t + 1/2(acosθ)t²
y = 0 + 1/2(acosθ)t²
y = 1/2(acosθ)t² (1)
Also, both particles must move the same horizontal distance to collide in time, t.
Let x be the horizontal distance,
x = vt (2)where v = velocity of particle A = 2.8 m/s and t = time for collision
Also, using x = ut + 1/2a"t² where u = initial velocity of particle B = 0 m/s, t = time taken for collision, a" = horizontal component of particle B's acceleration = asinθ.
So, x = ut + 1/2a"t²
x = 0 × t + 1/2(ainsθ)t²
x = 0 + 1/2(asinθ)t²
x = 1/2(asinθ)t² (3)
Equating (2) and (3), we have
vt = 1/2(asinθ)t² (4)
From (1) t = √[2y/(acosθ)]
Substituting t into (4), we have
v√[2y/(acosθ)] = 1/2(asinθ)(√[2y/(acosθ)])²
v√[2y/(acosθ)] = 1/2(asinθ)(2y/(acosθ)
v√[2y/(acosθ)] = ytanθ
√[2y/(acosθ)] = ytanθ/v
squaring both sides, we have
(√[2y/(acosθ)])² = (ytanθ/v)²
2y/acosθ = (ytanθ/v)²
2y/acosθ = y²tan²θ/v²
2/acosθ = ytan²θ/v²
1/cosθ = aytan²θ/2v²
Since 1/cosθ = secθ = √(1 + tan²θ) ⇒ sec²θ = 1 + tan²θ ⇒ tan²θ = sec²θ - 1
secθ = ay(sec²θ - 1)/2v²
2v²secθ = aysec²θ - ay
aysec²θ - 2v²secθ - ay = 0
Let secθ = p
ayp² - 2v²p - ay = 0
Substituting the values of a = 0.35 m/s, y = 31 m and v = 2.8 m/s into the equation, we have
ayp² - 2v²p - ay = 0
0.35 × 31p² - 2 × 2.8²p - 0.35 × 31 = 0
10.85p² - 15.68p - 10.85 = 0
dividing through by 10.85, we have
p² - 1.445p - 1 = 0
Using the quadratic formula to find p,
Since p = secθ
secθ = 1.95625 or secθ = -0.51125
cosθ = 1/1.95625 or cosθ = 1/-0.51125
cosθ = 0.5112 or cosθ = -1.9956
Since -1 ≤ cosθ ≤ 1 we ignore the second value since it is less than -1.
So, cosθ = 0.5112
θ = cos⁻¹(0.5112)
θ = 59.26°
So, the angle between a with arrow and the positive direction of the y axis would result in a collision is 59.26°.
