Chapter 22, Problem 6P

This afternoon, you have a physics symposium class, and you are the presenter. You will be presenting a topic to physics majors and faculty. You have been so busy that you have not had time to prepare and you don’t even have an idea for a topic. You are frantically reading your physics textbook looking for an idea. In your reading, you have learned that the Earth carries a charge on its surface of about 105 C, which results in electric fields in the atmosphere. This gets you very excited about a new theory. Suppose the Moon also carries a charge on the order of 105 C, with the opposite sign! Maybe the orbit of the Moon around the Earth is due to electrical attraction between the Moon and the Earth! There’s an idea for your symposium presentation! You quickly jot down a few notes and run off to your symposium. While you are speaking, you notice one of the professors doing some calculations on a scrap of paper. Uh-oh! He has just raised his hand with a question. Why are you embarrassed?

A cab driver heads south with a steady speed of v₁ = 20.0 m/s for t₁ = 3.00 min, then makes a right turn and travels at v₂ = 25.0 m/s for t₂ = 2.80 min, and then drives northwest at v3 = 30.0 m/s for t3 = 1.00 min. For this 6.80-min trip, calculate the following. Assume +x is in the eastward direction. (a) total vector displacement (Enter the magnitude in m and the direction in degrees south of west.) magnitude direction For each straight-line movement, model the car as a particle under constant velocity, and draw a diagram of the displacements, labeling the distances and angles. Let the starting point be the origin of your coordinate system. Use the relationship speed = distance/time to find the distances traveled during each segment. Write the displacement vector, and calculate its magnitude and direction. Don't forget to convert min to s! m Model the car as a particle under constant velocity, and draw a diagram of the displacements, labeling the distances and angles. Let the…
î A proton is projected in the positive x direction into a region of uniform electric field E = (-5.50 x 105) i N/C at t = 0. The proton travels 7.20 cm as it comes to rest. (a) Determine the acceleration of the proton. magnitude 5.27e13 direction -X m/s² (b) Determine the initial speed of the proton. 8.71e-6 magnitude The electric field is constant, so the force is constant, which means the acceleration will be constant. m/s direction +X (c) Determine the time interval over which the proton comes to rest. 1.65e-7 Review you equations for constant accelerated motion. s
