A +5.0-μC point charge is placed at the 0 cm mark of a meter stick and a -4.0-μC charge is placed at the 50 cm mark. What is the
algol13

Answer:

1.4 *10^6 N/C

Explanation:

The electric field caused by a charge at a certain point is given by the equation:

E = k \frac{q}{r} \^r

where k is the Coulomb constant equal to 8.99 *10^9 Nm^2/C^2, q the charge of the particle in coulombs, r is the distance from the point to the charge in meters.

\^r is the unitary vector that goes from the charge to the point. This vector will give us the direction of the Electric Field vector.

The unitary vector of the +5.0-μC charge will go to the right (+i), as the point is to the right of the charge. Then, the electric field caused by the charge will be:

E_1 = k \frac{q}{r^2} \^r = 8.99*10^9 Nm^2/C^2 \frac{5.0 *10^{-6}C}{(0.3m - 0m)^2}(+\^i) =  +0.5*10^6 N/C

The unitary vector of the -4.0-μC charge will go to the left (-i), as the point is to the left of the charge. Then, the electric field caused by the charge will be:

E_2 = k \frac{q}{r^2} \^r = 8.99*10^9 Nm^2/C^2 \frac{-4.0 *10^{-6}C}{(0.5m - 0.3m)^2}(-\^i) =  +0.9*10^6 N/C

The electric field at the 30 cm mark will be the addition of both electric field:

E_{total} = E_1 +E_2 = 0.5 *10^6 N/C + 0.9*10^6 N/C = 1.4 *10^6 N/C

A proposed space elevator would consist of a cable stretching from the earth's surface to a satellite, orbiting far in space, th
NISA [10]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to energy conservation. Here we will use the conservation between the potential gravitational energy and the kinetic energy to determine the velocity of this escape. The gravitational potential energy can be expressed as,

PE= \frac{GMm}{d}

The kinetic energy can be written as,

KE= \frac{1}{2} mv^2

Where,

G = 6.67*10^{-11}m^3/kg\cdot s^2Gravitational Universal Constant

m = 5.972*10^{24}kg Mass of Earth

h = 56*10^6m  Height

r = 6.378*10^6m Radius of Earth

From the conservation of energy:

\frac{1}{2} mv^2 = \frac{GMm}{d}

Rearranging to find the velocity,

v = \sqrt{\frac{2Gm}{d}} \rightarrow  Escape velocity at a certain height from the earth

If the height of the satellite from the earth is h, then the total distance would be the radius of the earth and the eight,

d = r+h

v = \sqrt{\frac{2Gm}{r+h}}

Replacing the values we have that

v = \frac{2(6.67*10^{-11})(5.972*10^{24})}{6.378*10^6+56*10^6}

v = 3.6km/s

Therefore the escape velocity is 3.6km/s

A 15.0 kg load of bricks hangs from one end of a rope that passes over a small, frictionles pulley. A 28.0 kg counterweight is s
Talja [164]

Answer:

A) The free body diagrams for both the load of bricks and the counterweight are attached.

B) a = 2.96 m/s²

Explanation:

A)

The free body diagrams for both the load of bricks and the counterweight are attached.

B)

The acceleration of upward acceleration of the load of bricks is given by the following formula:

a = g(m₁ - m₂)/(m₁ + m₂)

where,

a = upward acceleration of load of bricks = ?

g = 9.8 m/s²

m₁ = heavier mass = mass of counterweight = 28 kg

m₂ = lighter mass = mass of load of bricks = 15 kg

Therefore, using these values in equation, we get:

a = (9.8 m/s²)(28 kg - 15 kg)/(28 kg + 15 kg)

<u>a = 2.96 m/s²</u>

A student throws a 0.22 kg rock horizontally at 20.0 m/s from 10.0 m above the ground. Find the initial kinetic energy of the ro
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

44J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of rock  = 0.22kg

Initial velocity  = 20m/s

Distance moved  = 10m

Unknown:

Initial kinetic energy of the rock  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we need to understand that kinetic energy is the energy due to the motion of a body.

It is mathematically expressed as;

     Kinetic energy  = \frac{1}{2} m v²

m is the mass

v is the velocity

   Kinetic energy  =  \frac{1}{2} x 0.22 x 20²   = 44J
