At the top of its ascent, the ball has potential energy equal to

(its weight) times (the height of its ascent) .

If we knew either of those quantities, then we could give you
a number for its potential energy. But the question has no
given information.

What results from splitting an atomic nucleus

Burka [1]

A uranium-235 atom absorbs a neutron and fissions into two new atoms (fission fragments), releasing three new neutrons and some binding energy. ... Several heavy elements, such as uranium, thorium, and plutonium, undergo both spontaneous fission, a form of radioactive decay and induced fission, a form of nuclear reaction.

g When a high-energy proton or pion traveling near the speed of light collides with a nucleus, it may travel 3.2 10-15 m before

AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

Time, $t=1.07\times 10^{-23}\ s$

Explanation:

Given that,

When a high-energy proton or pion traveling near the speed of light collides with a nucleus, it may travel $3.2\times 10^{-15}\ m$ before interacting.

Let t is the time interval required for the strong interaction to occur. It will move with the speed of light. So,

$t=\dfrac{d}{c}\\\\t=\dfrac{3.2\times 10^{-15}}{3\times 10^8}\\\\t=1.07\times 10^{-23}\ s$

So, the time interval is $1.07\times 10^{-23}\ s$

FIGURE 2 shows a 1.5 kg block is hung by a light string which is wound around a smooth pulley of radius 20 cm. The moment of ine

Sindrei [870]

Answer:

At t = 4.2 s

Angular velocity: 6. 17 rad /s

The number of revolutions: 2.06

Explanation:

First, we consider all the forces acting on the pulley.

There is only one force acting on the pulley, and that is due to the 1.5 kg mass attached to it.

Therefore, the torque on the pulley is

$\tau=Fd=mg\cdot R$

where m is the mass of the block, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and R is the radius of the pulley.

Now we also know that the torque is related to angular acceleration α by

$\tau=I\alpha$

therefore, equating this to the above equation gives

$mg\cdot R=I\alpha$

solving for alpha gives

$\alpha=\frac{mgR}{I}$

Now putting in m = 1.5 kg, g = 9.8 m/s^2, R = 20 cm = 0.20 m, and I = 2 kg m^2 gives

$\alpha=\frac{1.5\cdot9.8\cdot0.20}{2}$ $\boxed{\alpha=1.47s^{-2}}$

Now that we have the value of the angular acceleration in hand, we can use the kinematics equations for the rotational motion to find the angular velocity and the number of revolutions at t = 4.2 s.

The first kinematic equation we use is

$\theta=\theta_0+\omega_0t+\frac{1}{2}\alpha t^2$

since the pulley starts from rest ω0 = 0 and theta = 0; therefore, we have

$\theta=\frac{1}{2}\alpha t^2$

Therefore, ar t = 4.2 s, the above gives

$\theta=\frac{1}{2}(1.47)(4.2)^2$

$\boxed{\theta=12.97}$

So how many revolutions is this?

To find out we just divide by 2 pi:

$\#\text{rev}=\frac{\theta}{2\pi}=\frac{12.97}{2\pi}$ $\boxed{\#\text{rev}=2.06}$

Or about 2 revolutions.

Now to find the angular velocity at t = 4.2 s, we use another rotational kinematics equation:

$\omega^2=w^2_0+2\alpha(\Delta\theta)_{}$

Since the pulley starts from rest, ω0 = 0. The change in angle Δθ we calculated above is 12.97. The value of alpha we already know to be 1.47; therefore, the above becomes:

$\omega^2=0+2(1.47)(12.97)$ $w^2=38.12$ $\boxed{\omega=6.17.}$

Hence, the angular velocity at t = 4.2 w is 6. 17 rad / s

To summerise:

at t = 4.2 s

Angular velocity: 6. 17 rad /s

The number of revolutions: 2.06

A rocket travels 1.3 km in 62 ms. What is its average speed in m⋅s−1? Do not give your answer in scientific notation. The answer

hjlf

Answer:

Average speed = 0.35 m/s

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Distance = 1.3 Km

Time = 62 minutes

To find the average speed in m/s;

First of all, we would convert the quantities to their standard unit (S.I) of measurement;

Conversion:

1.3 kilometres to meters = 1.3 * 1000 = 1300 meters

For time;

1 minute = 60 seconds

62 minutes = X

Cross-multiplying, we have;

X = 62 * 60

X = 3720 seconds

Now, we can calculate the average speed in m/s using the formula;

$Speed = \frac {distance}{time}$

$Speed = \frac {1300}{3720}$

Average speed = 0.35 m/s
