Answer:

Fa=774 N

Fb=346 N

Explanation:

We will solve this problem by equating forces on each axis.

On x-axis let forces in positive x-direction be positive and forces in negative x-direction be negative
On y-axis let forces in positive y-direction be positive and forces in negative y-direction be negative

While towing we know that car is mot moving in y-direction so net force in y-axis must be zero

⇒∑Fy=0

⇒ $Fa*sin(50)-Fb*sin(20)=0$

⇒ $Fa*sin(50)=Fb*sin(20)$

⇒ $Fa=2.24Fb$

Given that resultant force on car is 950N in positive x-direction

⇒∑Fx=950

⇒ $Fa*cos(20)+Fb*cos(50)=950$

⇒ $2.24*Fb*cos(20)+Fb(50)=950$

⇒ $Fb*(2.24*cos(20)+cos(50))=950$

⇒ $Fb=\frac{950}{2.24*cos(20)+cos(50)}$

⇒ $Fb=\frac{950}{2.24*0.94+0.64}$

⇒ $Fb=\frac{950}{2.75}=345.5$

⇒ $Fa=2.24*Fb$

$=2.24*345.5$

$=773.93$

Therefore approximately, Fa=774 N and Fb=346 N

The electric potential in a region that is within 2.00 mm of the origin of a rectangular coordinate system is given by V=Axl+Bym

Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

Given the potential, $V = Ax^l+By^m+Cz^n+D$

The components of the electric field are:

$E_x = \frac{-dV}{dx} = -Alx^l^-^1$

$E_y = \frac{-dV}{dy} = - Bmy^m^-^1$

$E_z = \frac{-dV}{dz} = - nCzn^n^-^1$

Let's calculate the potential difference for all given points.

$V(0, 0, 0) = 10V => Ax^l+By^m+Cz^n+D = 10$

$=> D = 10$

$V(1, 0, 0) = 4V => A + 10 = 4$

Solving for A, we have:

$A = 4 - 10$

$A = -6$

$V(0, 1, 0) = 6V => B + 10 = 6$

Solving for B, we have:

$B = 6 - 10$

$B = -4$

$V(0, 0, 1) = 8V => C + 10 = 4$

Solving for C, we have:

$C = 8 - 10$

$C = -2$

For all given points, let's calculate the magnitude of electric field as follow:

$E_x (1, 0, 0) = 16 => - Alx^l^-^1 = 16$

$Al = -16$

Solving for l, we have:

$l = \frac{-16}{A}$

From above, A = -6

$l = \frac{-16}{-6}$

$l = \frac{8}{3}$

$E_y (0, 1, 0) = 16=> Bmy^m^-^1 = 16$

$Bm = -16$

Solving for m, we have:

$m = \frac{-16}{A}$

From above, B = -4

$m = \frac{-16}{-4}$

$m = 4$

$E_y (0, 0, 1) = 16=> nCz^n^-^1 = 16$

$nC = - 16$

Solving for n, we have:

$n = \frac{-16}{C}$

From above, C = -2

$n = \frac{-16}{-2}$

$n = 8$

If one replaces the conducting cube with one that has positive charge carriers, in what direction does the induced electric fiel

Grace [21]

Answer:

There will be no change in the direction of the electric field .

Explanation:

The direction will remain the same because the sign of the charges has no effect on it.

When one replaces the conducting cube with one that has positive charge carriers there will be no change in the direction of the field as there is no defined relationship between the direction of the electric field and sign of the charge.

A small ball of mass 2.00 kilograms is moving at a velocity 1.50 meters/second. It hits a larger, stationary ball of mass 5.00 k

rewona [7]

The kinetic energy of the small ball before the collision is

   KE = (1/2) (mass) (speed)²

   = (1/2) (2 kg) (1.5 m/s)

   =    (1 kg) (2.25 m²/s²)

   =    2.25 joules.

Now is a good time to review the Law of Conservation of Energy:

   Energy is never created or destroyed.
   If it seems that some energy disappeared,
   it actually had to go somewhere.
   And if it seems like some energy magically appeared,
   it actually had to come from somewhere.

The small ball has 2.25 joules of kinetic energy before the collision.
If the small ball doesn't have a jet engine on it or a hamster inside,
and does not stop briefly to eat spinach, then there won't be any
more kinetic energy than that after the collision. The large ball
and the small ball will just have to share the same 2.25 joules.

A 900 kg steel beam is supported by the two ropes shown in (Figure 1) . Calculate the tension in the rope.

Rzqust [24]

Let T1 and T2 be tension in ropes1 and 2 respectively.
<span>since system is stationary (equilibrium), considering both ropes + beam as a system </span>

<span>for horizontal equilibrium (no movement in that direction, so resultant force must be zero horizontally) </span>
<span>T1sin(20) = T2sin(30) </span>
<span>=> T1 = T2sin(30) / sin(20) </span>

<span>for vertical equilibrium, (no movement in this direction, so resultant force must be zero vertically) </span>
<span>T1cos(20) + T2cos(30) = mg </span>

<span>m = 900kg, substituting for T1 </span>
<span>T2sin(30)*cos(20)/sin(20) + T2cos(30) = 900g </span>
<span>2.328*T2 = 900*9.8 </span>
<span>T2 = 3788.65N </span>
<span>so T1 from (1) </span>
<span>T1 = 5535.21N</span>
