can a body be in equilibrium if only one external force act on its ? explain

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

If there is only 1 force, the body can never be in equilibrium, providing that the force is not zero (and that would hardly be a force. Zero is possible in math and it means something. It is debatable in physics).

You cannot think of a condition where something is stationary on planet earth and there are not 2 forces or more forces involved.

Think of something like a block of wood sitting on a table. It is not moving, we'll say. Gravity is holding it down, but what is pushing up on it?

The table is. There are 2 forces and they are equal in magnitude, but opposite in direction. That matters.

A 0.25 kg steel ball is tied to the end of a string and then whirled in a vertical circle at a constant speed v. The length of the string is 0.62 m, and the tension in the string when the ball is at the top of the circle is 4.0 N. What is v

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the tension in the string be T . At the top of the circle , total force acting on them = T + mg . This will provide centripetal force

T + mg = m v² / r

4 + .25 x 9.8 = .25 x v² / .62

6.45 = .25 v² / .62

v² = 16

Jason takes off from rest across level water on his jet-powered skis. The combined mass of Jason and his skis is 75 kg (the mass of the fuel is negligible). The skis have a thrust of 200 N and a coefficient of kinetic friction on water of 0.10. Unfortunately, the skis run out of fuel after only 75 s. What is Jason's top speed?

Answers

Answer:

 v = 126 m / s

Explanation:

Let's analyze this exercise a little, they give us the thrust that is the applied force and the time that it lasts, and they ask us for the final speed, so we can use the Impulse ratio and the variation of the amount of movement

       I = F t = Dp

       F t = pf -p₀

      Now let's use Newton's second law to find the net thrust

        F = E - fr

the friction force has the formula

       fr = μ N

let's write Newton's second law on the y-axis

       N-W = 0

       N = W

we substitute

      fr = μ mg

we look for the net out

       F = 200 - μ mg

With the skater starting from rest, the initial speed is zero (vo = 0)

we substitute

      (200 - very m g) t = m v

       v = (200 µm - very g) t

let's calculate

     v = (200/75 - 0.10 9.8) 75

      v = 126 m / s

An electron and a positron collide head on, annihilate, and create two 0.804 MeV photons traveling in opposite directions. What was the initial kinetic energy of an electron? What was the initial kinetic energy of a positron?

Answers

Answer:

Ke- = Ke+ = 0.294MeV

Explanation:

To fins the kinetic energy of both electron and positron you use the following formula, for the case of annihilation of one electron an positron:

2[tex]E_p=2E_o+K_{e^-}+K_{e^+}[/tex]   (1)

Ep: photon energy = 0.804MeV

Eo: rest energy of one electron (and positron) = 0.51MeV

Ke-: kinetic energy of electron

Ke+: kinetic energy of positron

You replace the values of Ep and Eo in the equation (1):

[tex]K_{e^-}+K_{e^+}=2E_p-2E_o=2(0.804MeV-0.51MeV)=0.588MeV[/tex]

Iy you assume both positron and electron have the same speed, then, the kinetic energy of them are equal, and the kinetic energy of each one is:

[tex]K_{e^-}=K_{e^+}=\frac{0.588MeV}{2}=0.294MeV[/tex]

Two very large parallel sheets a distance d apart have their centers directly opposite each other. The sheets carry equal but opposite uniform surface charge densities. A point charge that is placed near the middle of the sheets a distance d/2 from each of them feels an electrical force F due to the sheets. If this charge is now moved closer to one of the sheets so that it is a distance d/4 from that sheet, what force will feel

Answers

Answer:

the force we will feel is F

Explanation:

 According to the Gauss law, electric field due to very large sheet of charge is as follows.

[tex]E = \frac{\sigma}{2 \times \epsilon_{o}}[/tex]

where,        

[tex]\sigma[/tex] =  charge per unit area

Since, it is given that there are two sheets of equal and opposite charge. Therefore, electric field between the plates will be as follows.   [tex]E = \frac{\sigma}{2 \times \epsilon_{o}} + \frac{\sigma}{2 \times \epsilon_{o}}[/tex]

Also, we know that relation between force and electric field is as follows.

                      F = qE

Hence, force felt by the charge present inside the plates will be as follows.

                 [tex]F = q \times \frac{\sigma}{2 \times \epsilon_{o}}[/tex]

This depicts that force is not dependent on the distance and the charge is kept from one of the plate. Therefore,  force F felt by the charge is same when it is placed at a distance d/2 and at a distance d/4 from one of the plate.

Four long wires are each carrying 6.0 A. The wires are located
at the 4 corners of a square with side length 9.0 cm. All of
these wires are carrying current out of the page. The
magnetic field (in T) at one corner of the square is:

Answers

Answer:

[tex]B_T=2.0*10^-5[-\hat{i}+\hat{j}]T[/tex]

Explanation:

To find the magnitude of the magnetic field, you use the following formula for the calculation of the magnetic field generated by a current in a wire:

[tex]B=\frac{\mu_oI}{2\pi r}[/tex]

μo: magnetic permeability of vacuum = 4π*10^-7 T/A

I: current = 6.0 A

r: distance to the wire in which magnetic field is measured

In this case, you have four wires at corners of a square of length 9.0cm = 0.09m

You calculate the magnetic field in one corner. Then, you have to sum the contribution of all magnetic field generated by the other three wires, in the other corners. Furthermore, you have to take into account the direction of such magnetic fields. The direction of the magnetic field is given by the right-hand side rule.

If you assume that the magnetic field is measured in the up-right corner of the square, the wire to the left generates a magnetic field (in the corner in which you measure B) with direction upward (+ j), the wire down (down-right) generates a magnetic field with direction to the left (- i)  and the third wire generates a magnetic field with a direction that is 45° over the horizontal in the left direction (you can notice that in the image attached below). The total magnetic field will be:

[tex]B_T=B_1+B_2+B_3\\\\B_{T}=\frac{\mu_o I_1}{2\pi r_1}\hat{j}-\frac{\mu_o I_2}{2\pi r_2}\hat{i}+\frac{\mu_o I_3}{2\pi r_3}[-cos45\hat{i}+sin45\hat{j}][/tex]

I1 = I2 = I3 = 6.0A

r1 = 0.09m

r2 = 0.09m

[tex]r_3=\sqrt{(0.09)^2+(0.09)^2}m=0.127m[/tex]

Then you have:

[tex]B_T=\frac{\mu_o I}{2\pi}[(-\frac{1}{r_2}-\frac{cos45}{r_3})\hat{i}+(\frac{1}{r_1}+\frac{sin45}{r_3})\hat{j}}]\\\\B_T=\frac{(4\pi*10^{-7}T/A)(6.0A)}{2\pi}[(-\frac{1}{0.09m}-\frac{cos45}{0.127m})\hat{i}+(\frac{1}{0.09m}+\frac{sin45}{0.127m})]\\\\B_T=\frac{(4\pi*10^{-7}T/A)(6.0A)}{2\pi}[-16.67\hat{i}+16.67\hat{j}]\\\\B_T=2.0*10^-5[-\hat{i}+\hat{j}]T[/tex]

The only force acting on a 3.2 kg canister that is moving in an xy plane has a magnitude of 6.7 N. The canister initially has a velocity of 3.3 m/s in the positive x direction, and some time later has a velocity of 6.9 m/s in the positive y direction. How much work is done on the canister by the 6.7 N force during this time

Answers

Answer:

The work done by the force is  5.76 J

Explanation:

Given;

mass of canister , m = 3.2 kg

magnitude of force, f = 6.7 N

initial velocity of the canister on x-axis,  [tex]v_i[/tex]= 3.3i m/s

final velocity of the canister on y- axis, [tex]v_f[/tex] = 6.9j m/s

The work done on the canister = change in the kinetic energy of the canister

[tex]W = K.E_f - K.E_i[/tex]

where;

K.Ei is the initial kinetic energy

K.Ef is the final kinetic energy

The initial kinetic energy:

[tex]K.E_i = \frac{1}{2} *m\sqrt{i^2 +j^2+z^2}\\\\K.E_i = \frac{1}{2} *3.2\sqrt{3.3^2 +0^2+0^2}\\\\K.E_i = 5.28 \ J[/tex]

The final kinetic energy:

[tex]K.E_f = \frac{1}{2} *m\sqrt{i^2 +j^2+z^2}\\\\K.E_f = \frac{1}{2} *3.2\sqrt{0^2 +6.9^2+0^2}\\\\K.E_f = 11.04 \ J\\[/tex]

W = 11.04 - 5.28

W = 5.76 J

Therefore, work done on the canister by the 6.7 N force during this time is 5.76 J

An ideal photo-diode of unit quantum efficiency, at room temperature, is illuminated with 8 mW of radiation at 0.65 µm wavelength. Calculate the current and voltage output when the detector is used in the photo-conductive and photovoltaic modes respectively. The reverse saturation current (Is) is 9 nA.

Answers

Answer:

I = 4.189 mA    V = 0.338 V

Explanation:

In order to do this, we need to apply the following expression:

I = Is[exp^(qV/kT) - 1]   (1)

However, as the junction of the diode is illuminated, the above expression changes to:

I = Iopt + Is[exp^(qV/kT) - 1]   (2)

Now, as the shunt resistance becomes infinite while the current becomes zero, we can say that the leakage current is small, and so:

I ≅ Iopt

Therefore:

I ≅ I₀Aλq / hc  (3)

Where:

I₀A = Area of diode (radiation)

λ: wavelength

q: electron charge (1.6x10⁻¹⁹ C)

h: Planck constant (6.62x10⁻³⁴ m² kg/s)

c: speed of light (3x10⁸ m/s)

Replacing all these values, we can get the current:

I = (8x10⁻³) * (0.65x10⁻⁶) * (1.6x10⁻¹⁹) / (6.62x10⁻³⁴) * (3x10⁸)

I = 4.189x10⁻³ A or 4.189 mA

Now that we have the current, we just need to replace this value into the expression (2) and solve for the voltage:

I = Is[exp^(qV/kT) - 1]

k: boltzman constant (1.38x10⁻²³ J/K)

4.189x10⁻³ = 9x10⁻⁹ [exp(1.6x10⁻¹⁹ V / 1.38x10⁻²³ * 300) - 1]

4.189x10⁻³ / 9x10⁻⁹ = [exp(38.65V) - 1]

465,444.44 + 1  = exp(38.65V)

ln(465,445.44) = 38.65V

13.0508 = 38.65V

V = 0.338 V

A boy and a girl are on a spinning merry-go-round. The boy is at a radial distance of 1.2 m from the central axis; the girl is at a radial distance of 1.8 m from the central axis. Which is true?A- Boy and girl have zero tangential and angular accelerations.B- The girl has a larger angular acceleration than the boy.C- The boy has a larger tangential acceleration than the girl.D- The boy has a larger angular acceleration than the girl.E- The girl has a larger tangential acceleration than the boy.

Answers

Answer:

E) True. The girl has a larger tangential acceleration than the boy.

Explanation:

In this exercise they do not ask us to say which statement is correct, for this we propose the solution to the problem.

Angular and linear quantities are related

          v = w r

          a = α r

the boy's radius is r₁ = 1.2m the girl's radius is r₂ = 1.8m

as the merry-go-round rotates at a constant angular velocity this is the same for both, but the tangential velocity is different

          v₁ = w 1,2 (boy)

          v₂ = w 1.8 (girl)

whereby

          v₂> v₁

reviewing the claims we have

          a₁ = α 1,2

          a₂ = α 1.8

          a₂> a₁

A) False. Tangential velocity is different from zero

B) False angular acceleration is the same for both

C) False. It is the opposite, according to the previous analysis

D) False. Angular acceleration is equal

E) True. You agree with the analysis above,

A transverse wave is traveling through a canal. If the distance between two successive crests is 2.37 m and four crests of the wave pass a buoy along the direction of travel every 22.6 s, determine the following.
(a) frequency of the wave. Hz
(b) speed at which the wave is traveling through the canal. m/s

Answers

Answer:

(a) 0.0885 Hz

(b) 0.21 m/s

Explanation:

(a) Frequency: This can  be defined as the number of cycle completed in one seconds.

From the question,

Note: 2 crest = one cycle,

If four crest = 22.6 s,

Then two crest = (22.6/2) s

= 11.3 s.

T = 11.3 s

But,

F = 1/T

F = 1/11.3

F = 0.0885 Hz.

(b)

Using,

V = λF...................... Equation 1

Where V = speed of wave, F = Frequency of wave, λ = wave length.

Given: F = 0.0885 Hz, λ = 2.37 m.

Substitute these values into equation 1

V = 2.37(0.0885)

V = 0.21 m/s.

Two workers are sliding 330 kg crate across the floor. One worker pushes forward on the crate with a force of 430 N while the other pulls in the same direction with a force of 330 N using a rope connected to the crate. Both forces are horizontal, and the crate slides with a constant speed. What is the crate's coefficient of kinetic friction on the floor?

Answers

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of crate = 330 kg

1st force = 430 N

2nd force = 330 N

Find:

Coefficient of kinetic friction.

Computation:

We know that, velocity is constant.

So, acceleration (a) = 0

So, net force (f) = 430 N + 330 N

Net force (f) = 760 N

F = μmg

μ = f / mg                                   [∵ g = 9.8]

μ = 760 / [330 × 9.8]

μ = 760 / [3,234]

μ = 0.235

Coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.235
