Complete Question

Three equal point charges are held in place as shown in the figure below

If F1 is the force on q due to Q1 and F2 is the force on q due to Q2, how do F1 and F2 compare? Assume that n=2.

A) F1=2F2

B) F1=3F2

C) F1=4F2

D) F1=9F2

Answer:

D) F1=9F2

Explanation:

We are told in the question that there are three equal point charges.

q, Q1, Q2 ,

q = Q1 = Q2

From the diagram we see the distance between the points d

q to Q1 = d

Q1 to Q2 = nd

Assuming n = 2

= 2 × d = 2d

Sum of the two distances = d + 2d = 3d

F1 is the force on q due to Q1 and

F2 is the force on q due to Q2,

Since we have 3 equal point charges and a total sum of distance which is 3d

Hence,

F1 = 9F2

A 0.110 kg cube of ice (frozen water) is floating in glycerine. The glycerine is in a tall cylinder that has inside radius 3.70

Sonbull [250]

Answer:

the distance by which the height of the liquid in the cylinder change after the ice gets melted = 0.528 cm

Explanation:

The change in volume of glycerin when the ice cube is placed on the surface of the glycerin can be represented as:

$V = \frac{m}{ \rho}$

Given that ;

the mass of the ice cube (m) = 0.11 kg = 0.110 × 10³ g

density of the glycerine ( $\rho$ ) = 1.260 kg/L = 1.260 g/cm³

Then:

V = $\frac{0.110*10^3 \ g}{1.260 \ g/cm^3}$

V = $0.0873*10^3 \ cm^3 (\frac{1L}{10^3 cm^3})$

V = 0.0873 L

Now;Initially the volume of the glycerin before the ice cube starts to melt is:

$V_1 = V_i + V\\\\V_1 = V_i+ 0.0873 \ L$

However; the volume of the water produced by the 0.11 kg ice cube = $0.11*10^3 \ cm^3$

The expression for change in the volume of glycerin after the ice cube starts to melt is as follows:

$V_2 = V_i + V"$

replacing $V"$ with $0.11*10^3 \ cm^3$ ; we have:

$V_2 = V_i (0.11*10^3 \ cm^3 )(\frac{1 \ L }{10^3 \ cm^3})$

$V_2 = V_i + 0.11 \ L$

The overall total change in the volume of the glycerin is illustrated as:

$V_f = V_2 - V_1$

Now; from the foregoing ; lets replace the respective value of $V_2$ and $V_1$ in the above equation ; we have;

$V_f = (V_i + 0.11 \ L) - (V_i + \ 00873 \ L)\\ \\V_f = 0.11 L - 0.0873 \ L\\\\V_f = 0.0227 \ L$

The formula usually known to be the volume of a cylinder is :

$V = \pi r ^2 h$

For the question ; we will have:

$V_f = \pi r ^2 h$

making h the subject of the formula ; we have:

$h = \frac{V_f}{\pi r^2}$

replacing 0.0227 L for $V_f$ and the given value of radius which is = 3.70 cm; we have:

$h = \frac{0.0227 \ L ( \frac{10^3 \ cm^3}{1\ L})}{\pi * (3.70 cm)^2}$

$h = \frac{22.7 \ cm^3}{\pi * (3.70 cm)^2}\\\\h = 0.528 \ \ cm$

Thus ; the distance by which the height of the liquid in the cylinder change after the ice gets melted = 0.528 cm

A displacement vector points in a direction of θ = 23° left of the positive y-axis. The magnitude of this vector is D = 155 m. R

Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

Dₓ = -155 sin 23° i + 0 j

Explanation:

The diagram showing the vector has been attached to this response.

As shown in the diagram,

The vector D has an x-component (also called horizontal component) of -D sinθ i. i.e

Dₓ = -D sin θ i [The negative sign shows that D lies in the negative x direction]

Where;

D = magnitude of D = 155m

θ = direction of D = 23°

Therefore;

Dₓ = -155 sin 23° i

Since Dₓ represents the x component, its unit vector, j component has a value of 0.

Therefore, Dₓ can be written in terms of D, θ and the unit vectors i and j as follows;

Dₓ = -155 sin 23° i + 0 j

Karen is running forward at a speed of 9 m/s. She tosses her sweaty headband backward at a speed of 20 m/s. The speed of the hea

Komok [63]

Let Karen's forward speed be considered as positive.
Therefore, before the headband is tossed backward, the speed of the headband is
V = 9 m/s

The headband is tossed backward relative to Karen at a speed of 20 m/s. Therefore the speed of the headband relative to Karen is
U = -20 m/s

The absolute speed of the headband, relative to a stationary observer is
V - U
= 9 + (-20)
= - 11 m/s

Answer:
The stationary observes the headband traveling (in the opposite direction to Karen) at a speed of 11 m/s backward.

A baseball pitcher throws a ball at 90.0 mi/h in the horizontal direction. How far does the ball fall vertically by the time it

Lisa [10]

Answer:

Vertical distance= 3.3803ft

Explanation:

First with the speed of the ball and the distance traveled horizontally we can determine the flight time to reach the plate:

Velocity= (90 mi/h) × (1 mile/5280ft) = 475200ft/h

Distance= Velocity × time⇒ time= 60.5ft / (475200ft/h) = 0.00012731h

time= 0.00012731h × (3600s/h)= 0.458316s

With this time we can determine the distance traveled vertically taking into account that its initial vertical velocity is zero and its acceleration is that of gravity, 9.81m/s²:

Vertical distance= (1/2) × 9.81 (m/s²) × (0.458316s)²=1.0303m

Vertical distance= 1.0303m × (1ft/0.3048m) = 3.3803ft

This is the vertical distance traveled by the ball from the time it is thrown by the pitcher until it reaches the plate, regardless of air resistance.

A 5.0-n projectile leaves the ground with a kinetic energy of 220 j. at the highest point in its trajectory, its kinetic energy

NikAS [45]

First, we get the difference between the kinetic energies such that,
difference = (220J - 120J)
difference = 100 J
The difference in kinetic energy is the equivalent of the potential energy which is calculated through the equation,
PE = mgh
To calculate for the height, we derive the equation in a form,
h = PE/mg
The product of the mass and acceleration due to gravity is the weight.
h = (100 J) / (5 N)
h = 20 m

<em>Hence, the answer is 20 m. </em>
