A 1 200-kg car traveling initially at vCi 5 25.0 m/s in an easterly direction crashes into the back of a 9 000-kg truck moving i

For this issue, the answer is clarified as the system takes in energy (+). The surroundings contribute 84 KJ of work. Whenever a system is receiving work from its surroundings, the value will be positive. Therefore, it sums to 12.4 KJ + 4.2 = 16.6 KJ.

The wavelength can be calculated as Planck's constant divided by the momentum of the ball.
This translates to:
lambda = h / p.............> equation I
Momentum is equal to mass times velocity............> equation II

By substituting equation II into equation I, we obtain:
lambda = h / mv
Here are the values provided:
lambda = 8.92 * 10^-34 m
Planck's constant = 6.625 * 10^-34
velocity = 40 m/sec

Substituting these values into the previous equation, we calculate the mass as follows:
8.92*10^-34 = (6.625*10^-34) / (40*m)
mass = 0.0185678 kg

Response:

length = 2L, mass = M/2, and maximum angular displacement = 1 degree

Clarification:

We examine only small amplitude oscillations (as in this scenario), which keeps the angle θ sufficiently small. In such situations, it's important to note that the pendulum's motion can be described by the equation:

The resulting solution is:

Here, represents the angular frequency of the oscillations, enabling us to find the period:

As a result, the period of a pendulum is determined solely by its length and is independent of both its mass and angle, provided the angle remains small. Therefore, the choice with the longest length gives the longest period.

Answer:

Part A) Electric fields at the designated point due to charges q₁ and q₂:

E₁ = 33.75 * 10³ N/C (-j), E₂ = (6.48 (-i) + 8.64 (+j)) * 10³ N/C

Part B) The overall electric field at P (Ep)

Ep = (6.48 * 10³ (-i) + 25.11 * 10³ (-j)) N/C

Explanation:

Conceptual analysis

The electric field at point P caused by a point charge is calculated as:

E = k*q/d²

E: Electric field measured in N/C

q: charge magnitude in Newtons (N)

k: electric constant measured in N*m²/C²

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

Equivalence:

1 nC = 10⁻⁹ C

1 cm = 10⁻² m

Data:

k = 9 * 10⁹ N*m²/C²

q₁ = -6.00 nC = -6 * 10⁻⁹ C

q₂ = +3.00 nC = +3 * 10⁻⁹ C

d₁ = 4 cm = 4 * 10⁻² m

d₂ = 5 * 10⁻² m

Part A) Calculation for electric fields at point from q₁ and q₂:

Refer to the attached illustration:

E₁: Electric Field at point P(0,4) cm due to charge q₁. Since q₁ is negative (q₁-), the electric field approaches the charge.

E₂: Electric Field at point P(0,4) cm due to charge q₂. Since q₂ is positive (q₂+), the electric field emanates from the charge.

E₁ = k*q₁/d₁² = 9 * 10⁹ * 6 * 10⁻⁹ / (4 * 10⁻²)² = 33.75 * 10³ N/C

E₂ = k*q₂/d₂²= 9 * 10⁹ * 3 * 10⁻⁹ / (5 * 10⁻²)² = 10.8 * 10³ N/C

E₁ = 33.75 * 10³ N/C (-j)

E₂x = E₂cosβ = 10.8 * (3/5) = 6.48 * 10³ N/C

E₂y = E₂sinβ = 10.8 * (4/5) = 8.64 * 10³ N/C

E₂ = (6.48 (-i) + 8.64 (+j)) * 10³ N/C

Part B) Calculation for net electric field at P (Ep)

The electric field at point P from multiple point charges is the vector sum of the individual electric fields.

Ep = Epx (i) + Epy (j)

Epx = E₂x = 6.48 * 10³ N/C (-i)

Epy = E₁y + E₂y = (33.75 * 10³ (-j) + 8.64 * 10³ (+j)) N/C = 25.11 * 10³ (-j) N/C

Ep = (6.48 * 10³ (-i) + 25.11 * 10³ (-j)) N/C

Ep = (6.48 * 10³ (-i) + 25.11 * 10³ (-j)) N/C
