Answer:

The ratio (U₁/U₂) = 6

Explanation:

U, the potential energy is given as

U = kqQ/r

k = Coulomb's constant

q = charge we're concerned about

Q = charge of the negative plate of the capacitor

r = distance of q from the negative plate of the capacitor.

For charge q₁

U₁ = kq₁Q/s

U₂ = kq₂Q/2s

But q₂ = q₁/3

U₂ becomes U₂ = kq₁Q/6s

U₁ = kq₁Q/s

U₂ = kq₁Q/6s

(U₁/U₂) = 6

An 80.0-kg object is falling and experiences a drag force due to air resistance. The magnitude of this drag force depends on its
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

The terminal speed of this object is 12.6 m/s

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the object, m = 80 kg

The magnitude of drag force is,

F_{drag}=12v+4v^2

The terminal speed of an object is attained when the gravitational force is balanced by the gravitational force.

F_{drag}=mg

12v+4v^2=80\times 9.8

4v^2+12v=784

On solving the above quadratic equation, we get two values of v as :

v = 12.58 m/s

v = -15.58 m/s (not possible)

So, the terminal speed of this object is 12.6 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

Rotational dynamics about a fixed axis: A person pushes on a small doorknob with a force of 5.00 N perpendicular to the surface
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

I = 2 kgm^2

Explanation:

In order to calculate the moment of inertia of the door, about the hinges, you use the following formula:

\tau=I\alpha     (1)

I: moment of inertia of the door

α: angular acceleration of the door = 2.00 rad/s^2

τ: torque exerted on the door

You can calculate the torque by using the information about the Force exerted on the door, and the distance to the hinges. You use the following formula:

\tau=Fd        (2)

F: force = 5.00 N

d: distance to the hinges = 0.800 m

You replace the equation (2) into the equation (1), and you solve for α:

Fd=I\alpha\\\\I=\frac{Fd}{\alpha}

Finally, you replace the values of all parameters in the previous equation for I:

I=\frac{(5.00N)(0.800m)}{2.00rad/s^2}=2kgm^2

The moment of inertia of the door around the hinges is 2 kgm^2

An apple is whirled round in a horizontal circle on the end of a string which is tied to the stalk. It is whirled faster and fas
Brrunno [24]

when the apple moves in a horizontal circle, the tension force in the string provides the necessary centripetal force to move in circle. the tension in the string is given as

T=mv²/r

where T = tension force in the string , m = mass of the apple

v = speed of apple , r = radius of circle.

clearly , tension force depends on the square of the speed. hence greater the speed, greater will be the tension force.

at some point , the speed becomes large enough that it makes the tension force in the string becomes greater than the tensile strength of the string. at that point , the string breaks

abin is doing work by lifting a bowling ball. Which statement could be made about the energy in this situation?
PtichkaEL [24]
The statement that could be made about the energy in this situation would be :
It being transferred from his arms muscles to the ball.

The muscle contraction from his arms created a force that could be used to lift the ball up.<span />
