Answer:

1.013 seconds

Explanation:

This question can be addressed using formulas related to constant acceleration motion. The velocity at the bottom of the window can be computed with this formula:

(x-x_o) = \frac{1}{2} at^2 + v_ot = -\frac{1}{2}gt^2 + v_ot

Gravity is considered negative since it counteracts the motion.

(x-x_o) = -\frac{1}{2}gt^2 + v_ot\\v_o = \frac{(x-x_o)+\frac{1}{2}gt^2}{t} = \frac{1.19m+\frac{1}{2} 9.81m/s^2(0.2s)^2}{0.2s} = 6.931 m/s

The time it takes for the ball to be visible again is double the duration it takes for the ball to traverse from the bottom of the window to the peak height and then back down to the bottom, minus twice the time needed for the ball to go from the top to the bottom of the window. The time for the ball to reach its peak height, or the time it takes for its speed to go from vo to 0 m/s, is represented as:

t_1 = \frac{0m/s - v_o}{g} = \frac{-6.931 m/s}{-9.81m/s^2} = 0.706 s

Thus:

t = 2t_1 - 2*0.2s = 2*(0.706s) - 0.4s = 1.013 s

Maru [1053]

Answer:

a.3.29 m/s

b.3.3 m/s

c.14.8 m

d.15 m

Explanation:

We have the following specifics:

Initial Horizontal speed=v_x=4.5 m/s

Vertical component of initial speed=v_y=0

Vertical distance=y=-53 m

a.s=ut+\frac{1}{2}gt^2

Applying the formula and considering g as negative results in g=-9.8m/s^2

-53=0-\frac{1}{2}(9.8)t^2

53=4.9t^2

t^2=\frac{53}{4.9} s

t=\sqrt{\frac{53}{4.9}}=3.29m/s

b.Since the hundredths place exceeds 5, 1 is added to the tenths place, while other digits to the left remain unchanged and the digit to the right is replaced by 0.

t=3.3 m/s

c.Horizontal acceleration=a_x=0

x=v_xt=4.5\times 3.29=14.8 m

d.The digit in the tenths place at 8 surpasses 5, thus adding 1 to the units place, with all other digits on the left side unchanged and the right-side digit altered to 0.

Horizontal distance=15 m

An infinite sheet of charge, oriented perpendicular to the x-axis, passes through x = 0. It has a surface charge density σ1 = -2
Maru [1053]

1) For x = 6.6 cm, E_x=3.47\cdot 10^6 N/C

2) For x = 6.6 cm, E_y=0

3) For x = 1.45 cm, E_x=-3.76\cdot 10^6N/C

4) For x = 1.45 cm, E_y=0

5) Surface charge density at b = 4 cm: +62.75 \mu C/m^2

6) At x = 3.34 cm, the x-component of the electric field equals zero

7) Surface charge density at a = 2.9 cm: +65.25 \mu C/m^2

8) None of these regions

Explanation:

1)

The electric field from an infinite charge sheet is perpendicular to it:

E=\frac{\sigma}{2\epsilon_0}

where

\sigma is the surface charge density

\epsilon_0=8.85\cdot 10^{-12}F/m represents vacuum permittivity

Outside the slab, the electric field behaves like that of an infinite sheet.

Consequently, the electric field at x = 6.6 cm (situated to the right of both the slab and sheet) results from the combination of the fields from both:

E=E_1+E_2=\frac{\sigma_1}{2\epsilon_0}+\frac{\sigma_2}{2\epsilon_0}

where

\sigma_1=-2.5\mu C/m^2 = -2.5\cdot 10^{-6}C/m^2\\\sigma_2=64 \muC/m^2 = 64\cdot 10^{-6}C/m^2

The field from the sheet points left (negative, inward), and the slab’s field points right (positive, outward).

Thus,

E=\frac{1}{2\epsilon_0}(\sigma_1+\sigma_2)=\frac{1}{2(8.85\cdot 10^{-12})}(-2.5\cdot 10^{-6}+64\cdot 10^{-6})=3.47\cdot 10^6 N/C

and the negative sign indicates a rightward direction.

2)

Both the sheet’s and slab’s fields are perpendicular to their surfaces, directing along the x-axis, hence there's no y-component for the total field.

<pThus, the y-component totals zero.

This happens because both the sheet and slab stretch infinitely along the y-axis. Choosing any x-axis point reveals that the y-component of the field, generated by a surface element dS of either the sheet or slab, dE_y, will be equal and opposite to the corresponding component from the opposite side, -dE_y. Thus, the combined y-direction field is always zero.

3)

This scenario resembles part 1), but the point here is

x = 1.45 cm

which lies between the sheet and the slab. The fields from both contribute leftward as the slab has a negative charge (resulting in an outward field). Thus, the total field computes to

E=E_1-E_2

Replacing with expressions from part 1), we get

E=\frac{1}{2\epsilon_0}(\sigma_1-\sigma_2)=\frac{1}{2(8.85\cdot 10^{-12})}(-2.5\cdot 10^{-6}-64\cdot 10^{-6})=-3.76\cdot 10^6N/C

where the negative illustrates a leftward direction.

4)

This portion parallels part 2). Since both fields remain perpendicular to the slab and sheet, no component exists along the y-axis, thus the electric field's y-component is zero.

5)

Notably, the slab behaves as a conductor, signifying charge mobility within it.

The net charge on the slab is positive, indicating a surplus of positive charge. With the negatively charged sheet on the left of the slab, positive charges shift towards the left slab edge (at a = 2.9 cm), while negative charges move to the right edge (at b = 4 cm).

The surface charge density per unit area of the slab is

\sigma=+64\mu C/m^2

This average denotes the surface charge density on both slab sides at points a and b:

\sigma=\frac{\sigma_a+\sigma_b}{2} (1)

Additionally, the infinite sheet at x = 0 negatively charged \sigma_1=-2.5\mu C/m^2, induces an opposite net charge on the slab's left surface, thus

\sigma_a-\sigma_b = +2.5 \mu C/m^2 (2)

Having equations (1) and (2) allows for solving the surface charge densities at a and b, yielding:

\sigma_a = +65.25 \mu C/m^2\\\sigma_b = +62.75 \mu C/m^2

6)

We aim to compute the x-component of the electric field at

x = 3.34 cm

This point lies inside the slab, bounded at

a = 2.9 cm

b = 4.0 cm

In a conducting slab, the electric field remains at zero owing to charge equilibrium; thus, the x-component thereof in the slab is zero

7)

From part 5), we determined the surface charge density at x = a = 2.9 cm is \sigma_a = +65.25 \mu C/m^2

8)

As mentioned in part 6), conductors have zero electric fields internally. Since the slab is conductive, the electric field inside remains zero; therefore, the regions where the electric field is null are

2.9 cm < x < 4 cm

Thus, the suitable answer is

"none of these regions"

Two planets having equal masses are in circular orbit around a star. Planet A has a smaller orbital radius than planet B. Which
serg [1189]

Answer:

Explanation:

To approach this problem, we need to understand two key concepts.

First, the gravitational force on an object in orbit equals its mass multiplied by centripetal acceleration.

Secondly, Newton's law of universal gravitation defines the force between two masses: Fg = mMG/r², where Fg denotes gravitational force, m and M signify the masses, G represents the gravitational constant, and r indicates the distance separating the two masses.

Thus:

Fg = m v²/r

mMG/r² = m v²/r

v² = MG/r

Potential energy for each planet is expressed as:

PE = mgr = m (MG/r²) r = mMG/r

Kinetic energy for each planet is computed as:

KE = 1/2 mv² = 1/2 m (MG/r) = 1/2 mMG/r

Total mechanical energy is calculated as:

ME = PE + KE = 3/2 mMG/r

Since both planets share the same mass, the only variable is their orbital radius. Consequently, Planet A, with a smaller radius, possesses greater potential, kinetic, and mechanical energy.
