(6-16)/4.0=-2.5 m/s²
Acceleration of the car is -2.5 m/s²

Two electric force vectors act on a particle. Their x-components are 13.5 N and −7.40 N and their y-components are −12.0 N and −
guapka [62]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given two vectors as follows

E₁ = 13.5 i -12 j

E₂ = -7.4 i - 4.7 j

Resultant E = E₁ + E₂

= 13.5 i -12 j -7.4 i - 4.7 j

E = 6.1 i - 16.7 j

a ) X component of resultant = 6.1 N

b ) y component of resultant = -16.7 N

Magnitude of resultant = √ ( 6.1² + 16.7² )

= 17.75 N

d ) If θ be the required angle

tanθ = 16.7 / 6.1 = 2.73

θ = 70° .

counterclockwise = 360 - 70 = 290°

Write a hypothesis about the effect of the fan speed on the acceleration of the cart. Use the "if . . . then . . . because . . .
iragen [17]
As an object accelerates i.e., change it's velocity(either direction or speed), the position of the object depends on two factor; If the acceleration was direction based then it might have a zero displacement for eg: if it travels in circle. or it might have a net displacement if it travels in a straight line, quantitatively
s = ut +  \frac{1}{2} at {}^{2}
where,
s = displacement
u = initial velocity
v = final velocity
a = acceleration
t = time

Now, for the hypothesis;
There is no direct relationship between fan speed and acceleration but anyways generally speaking if we do have a relationship that with more fan speed we have a larger displacement of air i.e., a more force i.e., greater acceleration
Thus, it can be said, well not exactly scientific, that with a greater fan speed there will be greater acceleration. if fan speed is increased then acceleration will be more.

A charge of 87.6 pC is uniformly distributed on the surface of a thin sheet of insulating material that has a total area of 65.2
LiRa [457]

Answer:

60.8 cm²

Explanation:

The charge density, σ on the surface is σ = Q/A where q = charge = 87.6 pC = 87.6 × 10⁻¹² C and A = area = 65.2 cm² = 65.2 × 10⁻⁴ m².

σ = Q/A = 87.6 × 10⁻¹² C/65.2 × 10⁻⁴ m² = 1.34 × 10⁻⁸ C/m²

Now, the charge through the Gaussian surface is q = σA' where A' is the charge in the Gaussian surface.

Since the flux, Ф = 9.20 Nm²/C and Ф = q/ε₀ for a closed Gaussian surface

So, q = ε₀Ф = σA'

ε₀Ф = σA'

making A' the area of the Gaussian surface the subject of the formula, we have

A' = ε₀Ф/σ

A' = 8.854 × 10⁻¹² F/m × 9.20 Nm²/C ÷ 1.34 × 10⁻⁸ C/m²

A' = 81.4568/1.34 × 10⁻⁴ m²

A' = 60.79 × 10⁻⁴ m²

A' ≅ 60.8 cm²

You lower the temperature of a sample of liquid carbon disulfide from 90.3 ∘ C until its volume contracts by 0.507 % of its init
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

T_{f} = 85.89 ° C

Explanation:

The linear thermal expansion process is given by

      ΔL = L α ΔT

For the three-dimensional case, the expression takes the form

     ΔV = V β ΔT

Let's apply this equation to our case

     ΔV / V = ​​-0.507% = -0.507 10-2

     ΔT = (ΔV / V)  1 /β

     ΔT = -0.507 10⁻²  1 / 1.15 10⁻³

     ΔT = -4.409

     T_{f} –T₀ = 4,409

     T_{f} = T₀ - 4,409

     T_{f} = 90.3-4409

     T_{f} = 85.89 ° C

creativ13 [48]
To find the number of electrons transferred, we should divide the total charge acquired by the rod Q=-4.9 \mu C=-4.9 \cdot 10^{-6}C by the charge of a single electron (e=-1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}C), and we find:
N= \frac{Q}{e}=  \frac{-4.9 \cdot 10^{-6}C}{-1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}C} =3.1 \cdot 10^{13}
