The potential (relative to infinity) at the midpoint of a square is 3.0 V when a point charge of +Q is located at one of the cor

ners of the square. What is the potential (relative to infinity) at the center when each of the other corners also contains a point charge of +Q?
a) 0 V
b) 3.0 V
c) 9.0 V
d) 12 V

Answer:

d) 12 V

Explanation:

Due to the symmetry of the problem, the potential (relative to infinity) at the midpoint of the square, is the same for all charges, provided they be of the same magnitude and sign, and be located at one of the corners of the square.

We can apply the superposition principle (as the potential is linear with the charge) and calculating the total potential due to the 4 charges, just adding the potential due to any of  them:

V = V(Q₁) + V(Q₂) +V(Q₃) + V(Q₄) = 4* 3.0 V = 12. 0 V

Combine Newton's 2nd law and Hooke's law for a spring to find the acceleration of the block a(t) as a function of time. Express
Inga [223]

Answer:

a=-\dfrac{k}{m}x(t)

Explanation:

From Newton's second law,

F = ma

where F is the force, m is the mass and a is the acceleration.

From Hooke's law,

F = -kx(t)

where k is the spring constant and x(t) is the displacement function measured from the origin. The negative sign indicates the force acts in opposite direction to the displacement. In fact, it is a restoring force; it acts to return the spring to its original undisturbed position.

Since both forces are the same,

F = ma= - kx(t)

a=-\dfrac{k}{m}x(t)

The implication of this is that the acceleration is proportional to the displacement but opposite to it. That last statement is the definition of a simple harmonic motion which this is.

The ratio \dfrac{k}{m} is a constant except in situations where the mass is varying (say, the mass on the spring is a decaying material).

Two wires are used to suspend a sign that weighs 500 N. The two wires make an angle of 100° between each other. If each wire is
vaieri [72.5K]
1) draw a diagram.
2) label diagram. (split the 100 degrees into 50, (which is right down the middle)  to make a right angle triangle.)
3) since its a free body diagram, the forces known must be labelled. (force of gravity). this shows that the straight vertical line of the right angle triangle is Fg (force gravity). label it.
4) use trigonometry. rearrange the equation to solve for what needs to be known.
 
angles known: 50 (split 100 in half to make a right angle triangle), 90 (since its right angle), and 40 (180-90-50 = 40)

sides known: vertical lined up with the 90 degree angle. Fg. --> fg=mg=500N x 9.81m/s^2 = 4905N

use formula: sin or cos 

i used sin. sin(40) = 4905 / ?
- times '?' on both sides. :  sin(40) x '?' = 4905
-divide both sides by sin(40):  '?' = 4905/ sin(40)
--> Solve.

Floor lamps usually have a base with large inertia, while the long body and top have much less inertia. Part A If you want to sh
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

When a an object is been rotated its resistance capacity to that rotational force is know as rotational inertia  and this mathematically given as

          I = mr^2

   Where m is the mass

                r is the rotation radius

For the spinning of the lamp as a baton to work the location of the center of mass of the floor lamp needs to be located

This is more likely to be located closer to base of the lamp as compared to the top, so success of spinning a floor lamp like a baton is highly likely if the lamp is grabbed closer to the base because that is where the position of its center of mass is likely to be.

What is the y component of a vector defined as 12.2m at 81.5°?
sergejj [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

This is a displacement vector since it is defined in terms of distance (meters, to be exact). The way you find the y-component is

V_y=Vsin\theta which says that you multiply the magnitude of the vector (its length) by the sin of the direction (the angle):

V_y=12.2sin(81.5) and get

V_y=12.1 m
