The ballistic pendulum was invented in 1742 by English mathematician Benjamin Robins. It consists of an initially stationary pen

Answer:

Explanation:

The data indicates that point A is located midway between two charges.

To calculate the electric field at point A, we begin with the field produced by charge -Q ( 6e⁻ ) at A:

= 9 x 10⁹ x 6 x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ / (2.5)² x 10⁻⁴

= 13.82 x 10⁻⁶ N/C

This field points towards Q⁻.

A similar field will arise from the charge Q⁺, but it will direct away from Q⁺ toward Q⁻.

To find the resultant field, we add these contributions:

= 2 x 13.82 x 10⁻⁶

= 27.64 x 10⁻⁶ N/C

For the force acting on an electron placed at A:

= charge x field

= 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ x 27.64 x 10⁻⁶

= 44.22 x 10⁻²⁵ N

Position or composition

The appropriate choice is C.

In physics, the law of gravity helps us understand how gravity varies with height. As altitude increases, so too does the experience of gravity. Changes in altitude also result in variations in weight, though these differences are not particularly significant. Consequently, weighing metals at different heights shows negligible variance as the impact of gravity remains constant across them.

Consider the diagram below.

m₁ = 8.5 x 10⁶ kg, the starship's mass
m₂ = 10⁴ kg, the shuttlecraft's mass
a₁ =  acceleration of the starship
a₂ = the acceleration of the shuttle
F = 4 x 10⁴ N, the force exerted

Let y represent the distance covered by the starship
Let x denote the distance covered by the shuttlecraft
If t indicates the travel time, then
y = 0.5a₁t²                  (1)
x = 0.5a₂t²                  (2)

F = m₁a₁ = m₂a₂         (3)
Additionally,
x + y = 14000 m          (4)

From (2), we derive
a₁ = (4 x 10⁴ N)/(8.5 x 10⁶ kg) = 4.706 x 10⁻³ m/s²
a₂ = (4 x 10⁴ N)/(10⁴ kg) = 4 m/s²

From (1), (2) and (4), we find
0.5*(t s)²*(4 + 4.706 x 10⁻³ m/s²) = 14000 m
2.002353t² = 14000
t² = 6991.774 s²
t = 83.617 s

Thus
x = 0.5*4*6991.774 = 13984 m = 13.984 km
y = 0.5*4.706 x 10⁻³*6991.774 = 16.452 m

The starship moves roughly 16.5 meters while towing the shuttlecraft by 13.98 kilometers.

Result: The starship shifts by 16.5 m (to the nearest tenth)

Answer:

A = 4.76 x 10⁻⁴ m²

Explanation:

Given data:

Person's weight = 625 N

Bike's weight = 98 N

Pressure per tire = 7.60 x 10⁵ Pa

Find: Contact area per tire

Total system weight = 625 + 98 = 723 N

Let F represent the force supported by each tire

2F = 723 N

Therefore, F = 361.5 N

Using the formula F = P × A

Contact area, A = 4.76 x 10⁻⁴ m²
