Answer:

Its traveling in the +x direction

Explanation:

The E-field is in the +y-direction, and the B-field is in the +z-direction, so it must be moving along the +x-direction, since the E-field, B-field and the direction of moving are all at right angles to each other.

answers Collision derivation problem. If the car has a mass of 0.2 kg, the ratio of height to width of the ramp is 12/75, the in

Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

4.8967m

Explanation:

Given the following data;

M = 0.2kg

∆p = 0.58kgm/s

S(i) = 2.25m

Ratio h/w = 12/75

Firstly, we use conservation of momentum to find the velocity

Therefore, ∆p = MV

0.58kgm/s = 0.2V

V = 0.58/2

V = 2.9m/s

Then, we can use the conservation of energy to solve for maximum height the car can go

E(i) = E(f)

1/2mV² = mgh

Mass cancels out

1/2V² = gh

h = 1/2V²/g = V²/2g

h = (2.9)²/2(9.8)

h = 8.41/19.6 = 0.429m

Since we have gotten the heigh, the next thing is to solve for actual slant of the ramp and initial displacement using similar triangles.

h/w = 0.429/x

X = 0.429×75/12

X = 2.6815

Therefore, by Pythagoreans rule

S(ramp) = √2.68125²+0.429²

S(ramp) = 2.64671

Finally, S(t) = S(ramp) + S(i)

= 2.64671+2.25

= 4.8967m

A force of 150 N accelerates a 25 kg wooden chair across a wood floor at 4.3 m/s2 . How big is the frictional force on the block

solniwko [45]

We can first calculate the net force using the given information.

By Newton's second law, F(net) = ma:

F(net) = 25 * 4.3 = 107.5

We can now calculate the frictional force, f, which is working against the applied force, F(app) (this is why the net force is a bit lower):

f = F(net) - F(app) = 150 - 107.5 = 42.5 N

Now we can calculate the coefficient of friction, u, using the normal force, F(N):

f = uF(n) --> u = f/F(N)
u = 42.5/[25(9.8)]
u = 0.17
