The 8 kg block is then released and accelerates to the right, toward the 2 kg block. The surface is rough and the coefficient of

friction between each block and the surface is 0.4 . The two blocks collide, stick together, and move to the right. Remember that the spring is not attached to the 8 kg block. Find the speed of the 8 kg block just before it collides with the 2 kg block. Answer in units of m/s.

3.258 m/s Explanation: The spring constant is assumed to be 263 N/m and the displacement of the spring is also assumed to be 0.7 m; the coefficient of friction between blocks is 0.4. The energy stored in the spring is described by . Given the conservation of energy in the system, the speed of the 8 kg block just prior to collision is 3.258 m/s.

You are working as an assistant to an air-traffic controller at the local airport, from which small airplanes take off and land.
serg [2593]

Answer:

d = 2021.6 km

Explanation:

This distance problem can be solved using vector analysis; it's best to find each plane's position components before applying the Pythagorean theorem to calculate the separation between them.

For Airplane 1:

Height   y₁ = 800m

Angle θ = 25°

           cos 25 = x / r

           sin 25 = z / r

           x₁ = r cos 20

           z₁ = r sin 25

          x₁ = 18 103 cos 25 = 16,314 103 m = 16314 m

          z₁ = 18 103 sin 25 = 7,607 103 m = 7607 m

For Plane 2:

Height   y₂ = 1100 m

Angle θ = 20°

          x₂ = 20 103 cos 25 = 18.126 103 m = 18126 m

          z₂ = 20 103 sin 25 = 8.452 103 m = 8452 m

To determine the distance between the planes using the Pythagorean theorem:

         d² = (x₂-x₁)² + (y₂-y₁)² + (z₂-z₁)²2

Now, we perform the calculations:

        d² = (18126-16314)²  + (1100-800)² + (8452-7607)²

        d² = 3,283 106 + 9 104 + 7,140 105

        d² = (328.3 + 9 + 71.40) 10⁴

        d = √(408.7 10⁴)

        d = 20,216 10² m

        d = 2021.6 km

How many electrons must be removed from a neutral, isolated conducting sphere to give it a positive charge of 8.0 x 10 8 C? [Q=n
inna [2205]

The new charge of the ball will amount to 8x10^8C after removing 5x10^27 electrons.

Explanation:

Initially, if the sphere is electrically neutral, its charge stands at 0C.

When an electron with a charge of (-1.6*10^-19 C) is taken away, we effectively add a positive charge, leading to:

1.6*10^-19 C as the sphere's new charge.

For a total of N electrons removed, the sphere's overall charge now becomes:

N*1.6*10^-19 C.

To calculate N when:

N*1.6*10^-19 C = 8.0x 10^8 C.

We find that N is: (8.0/1.6)x10^(8 + 19) = 5x10^27 electrons.

A sinusoidal electromagnetic wave of frequency 6.10×1014hz travels in vacuum in the +x direction. the magnetic field is parallel
Yuliya22 [2420]
Part a) The connection between the electric field and the magnetic field in an electromagnetic wave is
E=cB
where
E signifies the strength of the electric field
B indicates the strength of the magnetic field
c represents the speed of light
Using the equation, we determine:
E=cB=(3 \cdot 10^8 m/s)(5.80 \cdot 10^{-4} T)=1.74 \cdot 10^5 N/C

Part b) The text does not clarify the orientation of the magnetic field on the y-axis: I speculate it points in the y+ direction.
The direction of the electric field can be established using the right-hand rule, which states:
- the index finger shows the direction of E
- the middle finger indicates the orientation of B
- the thumb reveals the propagation direction of the wave
Because the wave propagates in the x+ direction, and the magnetic field in the y+ direction, we conclude that the electric field direction (index finger) must be z-.
