Answer:

Ep= 5450N/C in direction (-x)

Explanation:

Conceptual analysis

The electric field at a point P due to a point charge is calculated as follows:

E = k*q/d²

E: Electric field in N/C

q: charge in Newtons (N)

k: electric constant in N*m²/C²

d: distance from charge q to point P in meters (m)

Equivalence

1nC= 10⁻⁹C

1cm= 10⁻²m

Graphic attached

The attached graph shows the field due to the charges q₁, q₂ y q₃ in the P (x=6, y=0):

As the charge q₁ ,q₂ , and q₃ are negative the field enter the charges.

E₁: Electric Field due to charge q₁.

E₂: Electric Field due to charge q₂.

E₃: Electric Field due to charge q₃.

Field calculation due to q₁ and q₃

Because q₁ = q₃ and d₁ = d₃, then, the magnitude of E₁ is equal to the magnitude of E₃

d₁=d₃=d

$d=\sqrt{6^{2}+8^{2} } =10cm=0.1m$

q₁=q₃= -5nC= 5*10⁻⁹C

E₁ = E₃= k*q/d² = 9*10⁹*5*10⁻⁹/0.1² = 4500 N/C

E₁x = E₃x= - 4500*(6/10)= -2700 N/C

E₁y = -4500*(8/10)= -3600 N/C

E₃y= +4500*(8/10)=+3600N/C

Field calculation due to q₂

E₂x= k*q₂/d₂²= -9*10⁹*2*10⁻⁹/0.6²= -50 N/C

Magnitude and direction of the electric field in the point P (Ep)

Epx= E₁x+ E₂x+E₃x = -2700 N/C-50 N/C-2700 N/C= -5450N/C

Epy= E₁y+ E₃y= -3600 N/C+3600N = 0

Ep= 5450N/C in direction (-x)

Using energy considerations and assuming negligible air resistance, show that a rock thrown from a bridge 20.0 m above water wit

melamori03 [73]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Height of the bridge is 20m

Initial before he throws the rock

The height is hi = 20 m

Then, final height hitting the water

hf = 0 m

Initial speed the rock is throw

Vi = 15m/s

The final speed at which the rock hits the water

Vf = 24.8 m/s

Using conservation of energy given by the question hint

Ki + Ui = Kf + Uf

Where

Ki is initial kinetic energy

Ui is initial potential energy

Kf is final kinetic energy

Uf is final potential energy

Then,

Ki + Ui = Kf + Uf

Where

Ei = Ki + Ui

Where Ei is initial energy

Ei = ½mVi² + m•g•hi

Ei = ½m × 15² + m × 9.8 × 20

Ei = 112.5m + 196m

Ei = 308.5m J

Now,

Ef = Kf + Uf

Ef = ½mVf² + m•g•hf

Ef = ½m × 24.8² + m × 9.8 × 0

Ef = 307.52m + 0

Ef = 307.52m J

Since Ef ≈ Ei, then the rock thrown from the tip of a bridge is independent of the direction of throw

Delvig [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

Here is the full question and answer,

The archerfish is a type of fish well known for its ability to catch resting insects by spitting a jet of water at them. This spitting ability is enabled by the presence of a groove in the roof of the mouth of the archerfish. The groove forms a long, narrow tube when the fish places its tongue against it and propels drops of water along the tube by compressing its gill covers.

When an archerfish is hunting, its body shape allows it to swim very close to the water surface and look upward without creating a disturbance. The fish can then bring the tip of its mouth close to the surface and shoot the drops of water at the insects resting on overhead vegetation or floating on the water surface.

Part A: At what speed v should an archerfish spit the water to shoot down a floating insect located at a distance 0.800 m from the fish? Assume that the fish is located very close to the surface of the pond and spits the water at an angle 60 degrees above the water surface.

Part B: Now assume that the insect, instead of floating on the surface, is resting on a leaf above the water surface at a horizontal distance 0.600 m away from the fish. The archerfish successfully shoots down the resting insect by spitting water drops at the same angle 60 degrees above the surface and with the same initial speed v as before. At what height h above the surface was the insect?

Answer

A.) The path of a projectile is horizontal and symmetrical ground. The time is taken to reach maximum height, the total time that the particle is in flight will be double that amount.

Calculate the speed of the archer fish.

The time of the flight of spitted water is,

$t = \frac{{2v\sin \theta }}{g}$

Substitute $9.8{\rm{ m}} \cdot {{\rm{s}}^{ - 2}}$ for g and $60^\circ$ for $\theta$ in above equation.

$t = \frac{{2v\sin 60^\circ }}{{9.8{\rm{ m}} \cdot {{\rm{s}}^{ - 2}}}}\\\\ = \left( {0.1767\;v} \right){{\rm{m}}^{ - 1}} \cdot {{\rm{s}}^2}\\$

Spitted water will travel $0.80{\rm{ m}}$ horizontally.

Displacement of water in this time period is

$x = vt\cos \theta$

Substitute $\left( {0.1767\;v} \right){{\rm{m}}^{ - 1}} \cdot {{\rm{s}}^2}$ for $t\rm 60^\circ[tex] for [tex]\theta$ and $0.80{\rm{ m}}$ for x in above equation.

$\\0.80{\rm{ m}} = v\left( {0.1767\;v} \right){{\rm{m}}^{ - 1}} \cdot {{\rm{s}}^2}\left( {\cos 60^\circ } \right)\\\\0.80{\rm{ m}} = {v^2}\left( {0.1767{\rm{ }}} \right)\frac{1}{2}{{\rm{m}}^{ - 1}} \cdot {{\rm{s}}^2}\\\\v = \sqrt {\frac{{2\left( {0.80{\rm{ m}}} \right)}}{{0.1767\;{{\rm{m}}^{ - 1}} \cdot {{\rm{s}}^2}}}} \\\\ = 3.01{\rm{ m}} \cdot {{\rm{s}}^{ - 1}}\\$

B.) There are two component of velocity vertical and horizontal. Calculate vertical velocity and horizontal velocity when the angle is given than calculate the time of flight when the horizontal distance is given. Value of the horizontal distance, angle and velocity are given. Use the kinematic equation to solve the height of insect above the surface.

Calculate the height of insect above the surface.

Vertical component of the velocity is,

${v_v} = v\sin \theta$

Substitute $3.01\;{\rm{m}} \cdot {{\rm{s}}^{ - 1}}$ for v and $60^\circ$ for $\theta$ in above equation.

$\\{v_v} = \left( {3.01\;{\rm{m}} \cdot {{\rm{s}}^{ - 1}}} \right)\sin 60^\circ \\\\ = 2.6067{\rm{ m}} \cdot {{\rm{s}}^{ - 1}}\\$

Horizontal component of the velocity is,

${v_h} = v\cos \theta$

Substitute $3.01\;{\rm{m}} \cdot {{\rm{s}}^{ - 1}}$ for v and $60^\circ$ for $\theta$ in above equation.

$\\{v_h} = \left( {3.01\;{\rm{m}} \cdot {{\rm{s}}^{ - 1}}} \right)\cos 60^\circ \\\\ = 1.505{\rm{ m}} \cdot {{\rm{s}}^{ - 1}}\\$

When horizontal $({0.60\;{\rm{m}}}$ distance away from the fish.

The time of flight for distance (d) is ,

$t = \frac{d}{{{v_h}}}$

Substitute $0.60\;{\rm{m}}$ for d and $1.505{\rm{ m}} \cdot {{\rm{s}}^{ - 1}}$ for ${v_h}$ in equation $t = \frac{d}{{{v_h}}}$

$\\t = \frac{{0.60\;{\rm{m}}}}{{1.505{\rm{ m}} \cdot {{\rm{s}}^{ - 1}}}}\\\\ = 0.3987{\rm{ s}}\\$

Distance of the insect above the surface is,

$s = {v_v}t + \frac{1}{2}g{t^2}$

Substitute $2.6067{\rm{ m}} \cdot {{\rm{s}}^{ - 1}}$ for ${v_v}$ and $0.3987{\rm{ s}}$ for t and $- 9.8{\rm{ m}} \cdot {{\rm{s}}^{ - 2}}$ for g in above equation.

$\\s = \left( {2.6067{\rm{ m}} \cdot {{\rm{s}}^{ - 1}}} \right)\left( {0.3987{\rm{ s}}} \right) + \frac{1}{2}\left( { - 9.8{\rm{ m}} \cdot {{\rm{s}}^{ - 2}}} \right){\left( {0.3987{\rm{ s}}} \right)^2}\\\\ = 0.260{\rm{ m}}\\$

A student, along with her backpack on the floor next to her, are in an elevator that is accelerating upward with acceleration a.

Anna007 [38]

Answer:

$\mu_k = \frac{2(vt - L)}{(g + a) t^2}$

Explanation:

As we know that backpack is kicked on the rough floor with speed "v"

So here as per force equation in vertical direction we know that

$N - mg = ma$

so normal force on the block is given as

$N = mg + ma$

now the magnitude of kinetic friction on the block is given as

$F_f = \mu N$

$F_f = \mu (mg + ma)$

now when bag is sliding on the floor then net deceleration of the block due to friction is given as

$a = - \frac{F_f}{m}$

$a = -\mu_k(g + a)$

now we know that bag hits the opposite wall at L distance away in time t

so we have

$d = v t + \frac{1}{2}at^2$

$L = vt - \frac{1}{2}(\mu_k)(g + a) t^2$

$\mu_k = \frac{2(vt - L)}{(g + a) t^2}$
