'Suppose your hand moves upward by 0.50m while you are throwing the ball. The ball leaves your hand with an upward velocity of 2

0.0 m/s. Find the magnitude of the force (assumed constant) that your hand exerts on the ball. Ignore air resistance.' Now my question is not 'What is the magnitude' but rather: why did I get (roughly) the same answer using F=ma when you were supposed to use the total mechanical energy (W+K1+U1=K2+U2). So I'm more confused about how the 2 formulas are 'related', what the force actually represents in both, when to use what and if there is an actual difference.

The formula F = ma is used when the statement of second law of motion is applied to the problem. If the statement is applied to the problem, The fomula willbe used. If not, use the formula W +  K_{1} +  U_{1} =  K_{2} +  U_{2}

A NASA satellite has just observed an asteroid that is on a collision course with the Earth. The asteroid has an estimated mass,
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

v = 7934.2 m/s

Explanation:

Here the total energy of the Asteroid and the Earth system will remains conserved

So we will have

-\frac{GMm}{r} + \frac{1}{2}mv_0^2 = -\frac{GMm}{R} + \frac{1}{2}mv^2

now we know that

v_0 = 660 m/s

M = 5.98 \times 10^{24} kg

m = 5 \times 10^9 kg

r = 4 \times 10^9 m

R = 6.37 \times 10^6 m

now from above formula

GMm(\frac{1}{R} - \frac{1}{r}) + \frac{1}{2}mv_0^2 = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

now we have

2GM(\frac{1}{R} - \frac{1}{r}) + v_0^2 = v^2

now plug in all data

2(6.67 \times 10^{-11})(5.98 \times 10^{24})(\frac{1}{6.37 \times 10^6} - \frac{1}{4 \times 10^9}) + (660)^2 = v^2

v = 7934.2 m/s

Consider three identical metal spheres, A, B, and C. Sphere A carries a charge of +6q. Sphere B caries a charge of-2q. Sphere C
miskamm [114]
<h2>20. How much charge is on sphere B after A and B touch and are separated?</h2><h3>Answer:</h3>

\boxed{q_{B}=+2q}

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

We'll solve this problem by using the concept of electric potential or simply called potential V, which is <em>the energy per unit charge, </em>so the potential V at any point in an electric field with a test charge q_{0} at that point is:

V=\frac{U}{q_{0}}

The potential V due to a single point charge q is:

V=k\frac{q}{r}

Where k is an electric constant, q is value of point charge and r is  the distance from point charge to  where potential is measured. Since, the three spheres A, B and C are identical, they have the same radius r. Before the sphere A and B touches we have:

V_{A}=k\frac{q_{A}}{r_{A}} \\ \\ V_{B}=k\frac{q_{B}}{r_{A}} \\ \\ But: \\ \\ \ r_{A}=r_{B}=r

When they touches each other the potential is the same, so:

V_{A}= V_{B} \\ \\ k\frac{q_{A}}{r}=k\frac{q_{B}}{r} \\ \\ \boxed{q_{A}=q_{B}}

From the principle of conservation of charge <em>the algebraic sum of all the electric charges in any closed system is constant. </em>So:

q_{A}+q_{B}=q \\ \\ q_{A}=+6q \ and \ q_{B}=-2q \\ \\ So: \\ \\ \boxed{q_{A}+q_{B}=+4q}

Therefore:

(1) \ q_{A}=q_{B} \\ \\ (2) \ q_{A}+q_{B}=+4q \\ \\ (1) \ into \ (2): \\ \\ q_{A}+q_{A}=+4q \therefore 2q_{A}=+4q \therefore \boxed{q_{A}=q_{B}=+2q}

So after A and B touch and are separated the charge on sphere B is:

\boxed{q_{B}=+2q}

<h2>21. How much charge ends up on sphere C?</h2><h3>Answer:</h3>

\boxed{q_{C}=+1.5q}

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

First: A and B touches and are separated, so the charges are:

q_{A}=q_{B}=+2q

Second:  C is then touched to sphere A and separated from it.

Third: C is to sphere B and separated from it

So we need to calculate the charge that ends up on sphere C at the third step, so we also need to calculate step second. Therefore, from the second step:

Here q_{A}=+2q and C carries no net charge or q_{C}=0. Also, r_{A}=r_{C}=r

V_{A}=k\frac{q_{A}}{r} \\ \\ V_{C}=k\frac{q_{C}}{r}

Applying the same concept as the previous problem when sphere touches we have:

k\frac{q_{A}}{r} =k\frac{q_{C}}{r} \\ \\ q_{A}=q_{C}

For the principle of conservation of charge:

q_{A}+q_{C}=+2q \\ \\ q_{A}=q_{C}=+q

Finally, from the third step:

Here q_{B}=+2q \ and \ q_{C}=+q. Also, r_{B}=r_{C}=r

V_{B}=k\frac{q_{B}}{r} \\ \\ V_{C}=k\frac{q_{C}}{r}

When sphere touches we have:

k\frac{q_{B}}{r} =k\frac{q_{C}}{r} \\ \\ q_{B}=q_{C}

For the principle of conservation of charge:

q_{B}+q_{C}=+3q \\ \\ q_{A}=q_{C}=+1.5q

So the charge that ends up on sphere C is:

q_{C}=+1.5q

<h2>22. What is the total charge on the three spheres before they are allowed to touch each other.</h2><h3>Answer:</h3>

+4q

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Before they are allowed to touch each other we have that:

q_{A}=+6q \\ \\ q_{B}=-2q \\ \\ q_{C}=0

Therefore, for the principle of conservation of charge <em>the algebraic sum of all the electric charges in any closed system is constant, </em>then this can be expressed as:

q_{A}+q_{B}+q_{C}=+6q -2q +0 \\ \\ \therefore q_{A}+q_{B}+q_{C}=+4q

Lastly, the total charge on the three spheres before they are allowed to touch each other is:

+4q

A proton moving at 3.90 106 m/s through a magnetic field of magnitude 1.80 T experiences a magnetic force of magnitude 7.20 10-1
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

\theta=40^0

Explanation:

The magnitude of the magnetic force is

F_m=evB\sin\theta

To find the angle, we make \sin\theta subject of the formula

\implies \sin\theta=\frac{F_m}{evB}=\frac{7.20\times 10^{-13}}{1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 3.90\times 10^6\times 1.80}

\implies \sin\theta=0.641025641

\therefore \theta=\sin^{-1}=39.8683^0\\\implies \theta\approxeq 40^0
