Answer:

F = 10.788 N

Explanation:

Given that,

Charge 1, $q_1=6\ \mu C=6\times 10^{-6}\ C$

Charge 2, $q_2=2\ \mu C=2\times 10^{-6}\ C$

Distance between charges, d = 0.1 m

We know that there is a force between charges. It is called electrostatic force. It is given by :

$F=\dfrac{kq_1q_2}{d^2 }\\\\F=\dfrac{8.99\times 10^9\times 6\times 10^{-6}\times 2\times 10^{-6}}{(0.1)^2 }\\\\F=10.788\ N$

So, the force applied between charges is 10.788 N.

A vertical spring of constant k = 400 N/m hangs at rest. When a 2 kg mass is attached to it, and it is released, the spring exte

Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

4.9 cm

Explanation:

From Hook's Law,

F = ke......................... Equation 1

Where F= force, e = extension, k = spring constant.

Note: the Force acting on the the spring is the weight of the mass.

W = mg.

F = mg.................... Equation 2

Where m = mass, g = acceleration due to gravity

Substitute equation 2 into equation 1

mg = ke

make e the subject of the equation

e = mg/k............... Equation 3.

Given: m = 2 kg, g = 9.8 m/s², k = 400 N/m

e = (2×9.8)/400

e = 19.6/400

e = 0.049 m

e = 4.9 cm

If a train is 100 kilometers away, how much sooner would you hear the train coming by listening to the rails (iron) as opposed t

Whitepunk [10]

From tables, the speed of sound at 0°C is approximately
V₁ = 331 m/s (in air)
V₃ = 5130 m/s (in iron)

Distance traveled is
d = 100 km = 10⁵ m

Time required to travel in air is
t₁ = d/V₁ = 10⁵/331 = 302.12 s

Time required to travel in iron is
t₂ = d/V₂ = 10⁵/5130 = 19.49 s

The difference in time is
302.12 - 19.49 = 282.63 s

Answer: 283 s (nearest second)

An engineer wants to design a circular racetrack of radius R such that cars of mass m can go around the track at speed without t

gtnhenbr [62]

1. $tan \theta = \frac{v^2}{Rg}$

For the first part, we just need to write the equation of the forces along two perpendicular directions.

We have actually only two forces acting on the car, if we want it to go around the track without friction:

- The weight of the car, mg, downward

- The normal reaction of the track on the car, N, which is perpendicular to the track itself (see free-body diagram attached)

By resolving the normal reaction along the horizontal and vertical direction, we find the following equations:

$N cos \theta = mg$ (1)

$N sin \theta = m \frac{v^2}{R}$ (2)

where in the second equation, the term $m\frac{v^2}{R}$ represents the centripetal force, with v being the speed of the car and R the radius of the track.

Dividing eq.(2) by eq.(1), we get the following expression:

$tan \theta = \frac{v^2}{Rg}$

2. $F=\frac{m}{R}(w^2-v^2)$

In this second situation, the cars moves around the track at a speed

$w>v$

This means that the centripetal force term

$m\frac{v^2}{R}$

is now larger than before, and therefore, the horizontal component of the normal reaction, $N sin \theta$ , is no longer enough to keep the car in circular motion.

This means, therefore, that an additional radial force F is required to keep the car round the track in circular motion, and therefore the equation becomes

$N sin \theta + F = m\frac{w^2}{R}$

And re-arranging for F,

$F=m\frac{w^2}{R}-N sin \theta$ (3)

But from eq.(2) in the previous part we know that

$N sin \theta = m \frac{v^2}{R}$

So, susbtituting into eq.(3),

$F=m\frac{w^2}{R}-m\frac{v^2}{R}=\frac{m}{R}(w^2-v^2)$

A drag racer accelerates from rest at an average rate of +13.2 mls for a distance of 100. m. The driver coasts for 0.5 then uses

gtnhenbr [62]

Complete Question:

A drag racer accelerates from rest at an average rate of +13.2 m/s² for a distance of 100. m. The driver coasts for 0.5 s then uses the brakes and parachute to decelerate until the end of the track. If the total length of the track is 180 m, what minimum deceleration rate must the racer have in order to stop prior to the the end of the track?

Answer:

-31.92 m/s²

Explanation:

The drag races do a retiling uniform variated movement. There are 3 steps in the movement, first, it accelerates from rest until 100 m, second it coasts to 0.5 s, and then it decelerates. So, let's analyze each one of the steps:

Step 1

The initial velocity is v0 = 0 (because it was at rest), the acceleration is +13.2 m/s², and the distance ΔS = 100.0 m, so the final velocity, v, is:

v² = v0² + 2aΔS

v² = 2*13.2*100

v² = 2640

v = √2640

v = 51.38 m/s

Step 2

Know it's initial velocity is 51.38 m/s, it take 0.5s, and has the same acceleration, so, after 0.5 s, the velocity will be:

v = v0 + at

v = 51.38 + 13.2*0.5

v = 57.98 m/s

Thus, the distance it travels is:

v² = v0² + 2aΔS

57.98² = 51.38² + 2*13.2*ΔS

3361.6804 = 2639.9044 + 26.4ΔS

26.4ΔS = 721.776

ΔS = 27.34 m

Step 3

The initial velocity of the drag racer is 57.98 m/s, and it travels the final distance of the track: 180 - 100 - 27.34 = 52.66 m. So, when it stops, its final velocity will be 0. The minimum deceleration must be the one that it would stop at the end of the track (less than that it would cross the final track):

v² = v0² + 2aΔS

0 = 57.98² + 2a*52.66

-105.32a = 3361.6804

a = - 31.92 m/s²
