Answer:

the magnitude of acceleration will be 1.50m/s^2

Explanation:

To calculate your acceleration, you can use your formula that states that the net force on an object is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by the acceleration of the object. Fnet=ma

if you draw out this situation and label the forces you will have your vector towards the right with a magnitude of 20.0N and then your friction vector will be pointing to the left (in other words, in the negative direction) (opposing the direction of movement) with a magnitude of 5.00N, with the 10.0 kg box in the middle.

The net force will be calculated using F1+F2=Fnet where your F1=20.0N and F2= -5.00N (since it is towards the negative direction).

you will find that Fnet=15.0N

With that, plug in the values you know to calculate the acceleration of the block:

Fnet=ma

(15.0N)=(10.0kg)a    from her you can divide both sides by 10 to isolate a:

1.50=a  (and now make sure to label the units of your answer)

a=1.50m/s^2 (which is the typical unit for acceleration)

A room with 3.1-m-high ceilings has a metal plate on the floor with V = 0V and a separate metal plate on the ceiling. A 1.1g gla
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

The ball traveled 0.827 m

Explanation:

Given;

distance between the metal plates of the room, d = 3.1 m

mass of the glass, m = 1.1g

charge on the glass, q = 4.7 nC

speed of the glass ball, v = 4.8 m/s

voltage of the ceiling, V = +3.0 x 10⁶ V

The repulsive force experienced by the ball when shot to the ceiling with positive voltage, can be calculated using Coulomb's law;

F = qV/d

|F| = (4.7 x 10⁻⁹ x 3 x  10⁶) / (3.1)

|F| = 4.548 x 10⁻³ N

F = - 4.548 x 10⁻³ N

The net horizontal force experienced by this ball is;

F_{net} = F_c - mg\\\\F_{net} = -4.548 *10^{-3} - (1.1*10^{-3} * 9.8)\\\\F_{net} = -15.328*10^{-3} \ N

The work done between the ends of the plate is equal to product of the  magnitude of net force on the ball and the distance traveled by the ball.

W = F_{net} *h\\\\W = 15.328 *10^{-3} *  h

W = K.E

15.328*10^{-3} *h = \frac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\ 15.328*10^{-3} *h = \frac{1}{2}(1.1*10^{-3})(4.8)^2\\\\ 15.328*10^{-3} *h =0.0127\\\\h = \frac{0.0127}{15.328*10^{-3}}\\\\ h = 0.827 \ m

Therefore, the ball traveled 0.827 m
