An object is at rest. There are several forces acting on the object, but the net force is zero. If all the

1 answer:

3 0

It would not. Imagine four forces equal in magnitude but opposite in direction (e.g. north, east, south, and west). If these forces were to double in magnitude they would still have the same magnitude, meaning the net force is still equal to zero.

Suppose a 20-foot ladder is leaning against a building, reaching to the bottom of a second-floor window 15 feet above the ground

Papessa [141]

Answer:

The answer is β=0,85 rads

Explanation:

As the ladder is leaning against the building, we can imagine there´s a triangle where 20ft is the hypotenuse and 15ft is the maximum vertical distance between the ladder and the ground, it means, the leg opposite to β which is the angle we need

Let β(betha) be the angle between the ladder and the ground

We also know that $sin(betha)=(leg opposite)/(hypotenuse)$

In this case we will need to find β, this way:

$betha=sin^-1((15ft/20ft))$

Then β=48,6°

We also have that 2πrads is equal to 360°, in this way we find how much β is in radians:

$betha=(48,6°)*(2pirads/360°)$

then we find β=0,85rads

A particle with charge 3.20×10−19 c is placed on the x axis in a region where the electric potential due to other charges increa

lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

-5 V

Explanation:

The charged particle (which is positively charged) moves from point A to B, and its kinetic energy increases: it means that the particle is following the direction of the field, so its potential energy is decreasing (because it's been converted into potential energy), therefore it is moving from a point at higher potential (A) to a point at lower potential (B). This means that the value

vb−va

is negative.

We can calculate the potential difference between the two points by using the law of conservation of energy:

$\Delta K+ \Delta U=0\\\Delta K + q\Delta V=0$

where:

$\Delta K=+1.6\cdot 10^{-18} J$ is the change in kinetic energy of the particle

$q=3.2\cdot 10^{-19} C$ is the charge of the particle

$\Delta V =V_b-V_a$ is the potential difference

Re-arranging the equation, we can find the value of the potential difference:

$\Delta V=V_b-V_a = -\frac{\Delta K}{q}=-\frac{1.6\cdot 10^{-18} J}{3.2\cdot 10^{-19} C}=-5 V$

A robot is exploring charon, the dwarf planet pluto's largest moon. Gravity on charon is 0.278 meters per second [m divided b

DochEvi [55]

In order to find the efficiency first we will find the Change in Potential energy of the small stone that robot picked up

First we will find the mass of the stone

As it is given that stone is spherical in shape so first we will find its volume

$V = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3$

$V = \frac{4}{3}\pi *(\frac{0.06}{2})^3$

$V = 1.13 * 10^{-4} m^3$

Now it is given that it's specific gravity is 10.8

So density of rock is

$\rho = 10.8 * 10^3 kg/m^3$

mass of the stone will be

$m = \rho V$

$m = 10.8* 10^3 * 1.13 * 10^{-4}$

$m = 1.22 kg$

now change in potential energy is given as

$\Delta U = mgH$

here

g = gravity on planet = 0.278 m/s^2

H = height lifted upwards = 15 cm

$\Delta U = 1.22* 0.278 * 0.15$

$\Delta U = 0.051 J$

Now energy supplied by internal circuit of robot is given by

$E = Vit$

V = voltage supplied = 10 V

i = current = 1.83 mA

t = time = 12 s

$E = 10* 1.83 * 10^{-3} * 12$

$E = 0.22 J$

Now efficiency is defined as the ratio of output work with given amount of energy used

$\eta = \frac{\Delta U}{E}*100$

$\eta = \frac{0.051}{0.22} = 0.23$

so efficiency will be 23 %

pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

13 meters

Explanation:

Step one:

given

We are told that Nathalie leaves a history classroom and walks 3 meters North

Then travels another 10 meters south to an art classroom.

Required

The total distance.

Step two:

The total distance can be computed by summing up the 3 meter North distance traveled and the 10 meter south distance traveled

Total distance= 3+10= 13meters
