To solve the problem you must make a free body diagram and see what forces act on the body. In vertical direction you have the normal force w and the weight mg. In horizontal direction you have the strength due to friction and strength due to the increase in speed. Attached solution.

Falling raindrops frequently develop electric charges. Does this create noticeable forces between the droplets? Suppose two 1.8
Tema [17]

Answer:

The value of developed electric force is 3.516\times 10^{- 7} N

Solution:

As per the question:

Mass of the droplet = 1.8 mg = 1.8\times 10^{- 6} kg

Charge on droplet, Q = 25 pC = 25\times 10^{- 12} C

Distance between the 2 droplets, D = 0.40 cm = 0.004 m

Now, the Electrostatic force given by Coulomb:

F_{E} = \frac{1}{4\pi epsilon_{o}}.\frac{Q^{2}}{D^{2}}

\frac{1}{4\pi epsilon_{o}} = 9\times 10^{9} m/F

F_{E} = (9\times 10^{9}).\frac{(25\times 10^{- 12})^{2}}{0.004^{2}}

F_{E} = 3.516\times 10^{- 7} N

The magnitude of force is too low to be noticed.

A coin released at rest from the top of a tower hits the ground after falling 1.5 s. What is the speed of the coin as it hits th
Reptile [31]

Initial speed of the coin (u)= 0 (As the coin is released from rest)

Acceleration due to gravity (a) = g = 9.81 m/s²

Time of fall (t) = 1.5 s

From equation of motion we have:

\boxed{ \bf{v = u + at}}

By substituting values in the equation, we get:

\longrightarrow v = 0 + 9.81 × 1.5

\longrightarrow v = 14.715 m/s

\therefore Speed of the coin as it hits the ground/Final speed of the coin = 14.715 m/s

Your boss asks you to design a room that can be as soundproof as possible and provides you with three samples of material. The o
earnstyle [38]

The correct answer is Option C) Sample C would be best, because the percentage of the energy in an incident wave that remains in a reflected wave from this material is the smallest.


As the coefficient of absorption would define the energy present in the reflected wave, the material C has the highest percentage of absorption i.e. 62% and would be best suitable to make a sound proof room.

Why are fossil fuels considered nonrenewable resources if they are still forming beneath the surface today?
AleksandrR [38]

B is the answer because it takes millions of years to form these fossil fuels and everyday we use way more than we can find we may have a surplus for now but we may run out sooner than some think

Derive an expression for the gravitational potential energy of a system consisting of Earth and a brick of mass m placed at Eart
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

The gravitational potential energy of a system is -3/2 (GmE)(m)/RE

Explanation:

Given

mE = Mass of Earth

RE = Radius of Earth

G = Gravitational Constant

Let p = The mass density of the earth is

p = M/(4/3πRE³)

p = 3M/4πRE³

Taking for instance,a very thin spherical shell in the earth;

Let r = radius

dr = thickness

Its volume is given by;

dV = 4πr²dr

Since mass = density* volume;

It's mass would be

dm = p * 4πr²dr

The gravitational potential at the center due would equal;

dV = -Gdm/r

Substitute (p * 4πr²dr) for dm

dV = -G(p * 4πr²dr)/r

dV = -G(p * 4πrdr)

The gravitational potential at the center of the earth would equal;

V = ∫dV

V = ∫ -G(p * 4πrdr) {RE,0}

V = -4πGp∫rdr {RE,0}

V = -4πGp (r²/2) {RE,0}

V = -4πGp{RE²/2)

V = -4Gπ * 3M/4πRE³ * RE²/2

V = -3/2 GmE/RE

The gravitational potential energy of the system of the earth and the brick at the center equals

U = Vm

U = -3/2 GmE/RE * m

U = -3/2 (GmE)(m)/RE
