Electric Charges and Fields

One of the fundamental properties is the electromagnetic property. Charge cannot be destroyed by any process and this contributes formally to the law of charge conservation.

In the movie The Rocketeer, a teenager discovers a jet-powered backpack in an old barn. The backpack allows him to fly at incredible speeds. In one scene, however, he uses the backpack to rapidly accelerate an old pickup truck that is being chased by “bad guys.” He does this by bracing his arms against the cab of the pickup and firing the backpack, giving the truck the acceleration of a drag racer. Is the physics of this scene “Good,”“Bad,” or “Ugly?” Draw and Explain.

The particle is under the effect of a positive constant force F(t) = g. Knowing that the particle what initially at the origin, with negative speed -vo, find the expression of x(t) time t in terms of g and vo and find the position further on the left where the particule will be. Finally, find the expression of the time T when the particle will be back at the origin.

He gets a push from the bottom of the hill, so his initial velocity is 2 m/s. How far up the hill will he go before stopping? (there’s no friction) b. He goes back down the hill and then his friend Jill tries to pull him on the tube across a small patch of grass (μk=0.30).
