A spaceship of frontal area 10 m2 moves through a large dust cloud with a speed of 1 x 106 m/s. The mass density of the dust is

3 x 10-18 kg/m3. If all the particles of dust that impact the spaceship stick to it, find the average decelerating force that the impacting particles exert on the ship. (You may assume that the mass of dust which sticks to the spacecraft is negligible compared to the mass of the spacecraft.)

Answer:

The decelerating force is 3\times 10^{- 11}\ N

Solution:

As per the question:

Frontal Area, A = 10\ m^{2}

Speed of the spaceship, v = 1\times 10^{6}\ m/s

Mass density of dust, \rho_{d} = 3\times 10^{- 18}\ kg/m^{3}

Now, to calculate the average decelerating force exerted by the particle:

Mass,\ m = \rho_{d}V                                (1)

Volume, V = A\times v\times t

Thus substituting the value of volume, V in eqn (1):

m = \rho_{d}(Avt)

where

A = Area

v = velocity

t = time

m = \rho_{d}(A\times v\times t)                  (2)

Momentum,\ p = \rho_{d}(Avt)v = \rho_{d}Av^{2}t

From Newton's second law of motion:

F = \frac{dp}{dt}

Thus differentiating w.r.t time 't':

F_{avg} = \frac{d}{dt}(\rho_{d}Av^{2}t) = \rho_{d}Av^{2}

where

F_{avg} = average decelerating force of the particle

Now, substituting suitable values in the above eqn:

F_{avg} = 3\times 10^{- 18}\times 10\times 1\times 10^{6} = 3\times 10^{- 11}\ N

Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

6.78 X 10³ N/C

Explanation:

Electric field near a charged infinite plate

=  surface charge density / 2ε₀

Field will be perpendicular to the surface of the plate for both the charge density and direction of field will be same so they will add up.

Field due to charge density of +95.0 nC/m2

E₁ = 95 x 10⁻⁹ / 2 ε₀

Field due to charge density of -25.0 nC/m2

E₂ = 25 x 10⁻⁹ /  2ε₀

Total field

E = E₁ + E₂

= 95 x 10⁻⁹ / 2 ε₀ + 25 x 10⁻⁹ /  2ε₀

= 6.78 X 10³ N/C

Two charges of magnitude 5nC and -2nC are placed at points (2cm,0,0) and
scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

20 cm

Explanation:

Te electric potential enery U = kq₁q₂/r  were q₁ = 5 nC = 5 × 10⁻⁹ C and q₂ = -2 nC = -2 × 10⁻⁹ C and r = √(x - 2)² + (0 - 0)² +(0 - 0)² = x - 2. U =  -0.5 µJ = -0.5 × 10⁻⁶ J, k = 9 × 10⁹ Nm²/C².

So r = kq₁q₂/U

x - 2 = kq₁q₂/U

x = 0.02 + kq₁q₂/U m

x = 0.02 + 9 × 10⁹ Nm²/C² × 5 × 10⁻⁹ C × -2 × 10⁻⁹ C/-0.5 × 10⁻⁶ J

x = 0.02 - 90 × 10⁻⁹ Nm²/-0.5 × 10⁻⁶ J

x = 0.02 + 0.18 = 0.2 m = 20 cm

A person weighing 0.70 kn rides in an elevator that has an upward acceleration of 1.5 m/s2. what is the magnitude of the normal
creativ13 [48]
First of all, we can find the mass of the person, since we know his weight W:
W=mg=0.70 kN=700 N
And so
m= \frac{W}{g}= \frac{700 N}{9.81 m/s^2}=71.4 kg

We know for Newton's second law that the resultant of the forces acting on the person must be equal to the product between the mass and the acceleration a of the person itself:
\sum F =  ma
There are only two forces acting on the person: his weight W (downward) and the vincular reaction Rv of the floor against the body (upward). So we can rewrite the previous equation as
R_v -W = ma
We know the acceleration of the system, a=1.5 m/s^2 (upward, so with same sign of Rv), so we can solve to find the value of Rv, the normal force exerted by the elevator's floor on the person:
R_v = ma+W=(71.4 kg)(1.5 m/s^2)+700 N =807N
