Answer:

σ = 0.255*10^-3 C/m²

Explanation:

The Electric field Intensity act due to plate = σ/ε₀, where σ is surface charge density of plate.

At equilibrium ,

Upward force = downward force

Tcosθ = mg ----(1)

Assuming that the Forward force = backward force, then

Tsinθ = σq/ε₀

[ ∵ F = qE , ∴ F = qσ/ε₀ ] -----(2)

Dividing equation (2) by (1)

Tsinθ/Tcosθ = qσ/ε₀mg

⇒Tanθ = qσ/ε₀mg

σ = ε₀mg tanθ/q

Now substituting the values of

σ = (8.85*10^-12 * 1 * tan 30) / 2*10^-8

σ = (8.85*10^-12 * 0.5774) / 2*10^-8

σ = 5.11*10^-12 / 2*10^-8

σ = 0.255*10^-3 C/m²

Pulling out of a dive, the pilot of an airplane guides his plane into a vertical circle with a radius of 600 m. At the bottom of
adoni [48]

Answer:

3311N

Explanation:

r = radius = 600m

V = speed = 150m/s

Mass = weight = 70kg

The weight of pilot when calculated due to circular motion

W = tv

Fv = mv²/r

Fv = 70x150²/600

Fv = 79x22500/600

= 15750000/600

= 2625N

Real Weight of the pilot = m x g

= 70 x 9.8

= 686N

The apparent Weight is calculated by

Mv²/r + mg

= 2625N + 686N

= 3311 N

Therefore the apparent Weight is 3311N

Lexy used the formula shown to calculate the force of gravity on a space shuttle. Fg = G What does 3 × 105 kg represent? the dif
STALIN [3.7K]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>This term shows the </u><u>mass of the space shuttle</u>

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

We know that the mass of the Earth is 5.972 × 10^24 kg. Similarly the sum of  mass of earth and the mass of shuttle must be a greater number as compared to the number given. It simply means that the mass of earth is itself 5.972 × 10^24 kg and the value given is 3 × 105 kg so it is obvious that if was the sum then it must be greater than the mass of earth. Therefore we can say that this not the mass of earth, neither the sum of mass of earth and shuttle, but this is only the mass of space shuttle which is the last multiple choice.

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.
