xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

Force is 432.94 N along the rebound direction of ball.

Explanation:

Force is rate of change of momentum.

$\texttt{Force}=\frac{\texttt{Final momentum-Initial momentum}}{\texttt{Time}}$

Final momentum = 0.38 x -1.70 = -0.646 kgm/s

Initial momentum = 0.38 x 2.20 = 0.836 kgm/s

Change in momentum = -0.646 - 0.836 = -1.472 kgm/s

Time = 3.40 x 10⁻³ s

$\texttt{Force}=\frac{\texttt{Final momentum-Initial momentum}}{\texttt{Time}}=\frac{-1.472}{3.40\times 10^{-3}}\\\\\texttt{Force}=-432.94N$

Force is 432.94 N along the rebound direction of ball.

N2 = 3*n1
T2 = 2*T1
V1 = V2

(n2 * T2)/P2 = (n1 * T1)/P1
3 n1 * 2 T1 / P2 = n1 *T1 / P1
P2 = 6*P1

Since P2 is 6P1, it is 6 times greater than original pressure

A hammer strikes one end of a thick iron rail of length 8.80 m. A microphone located at the opposite end of the rail detects two

stepladder [879]

Answer:

ΔT = 0.02412 s

Explanation:

We will simply calculate the time for both the waves to travel through rail distance.

FOR THE TRAVELING THROUGH RAIL:

$T_{rail} = \frac{Distance}{Speed\ of\ Sound\ in\ Rail}\\\\T_{rail} = \frac{8.8\ m}{5950\ m/s}\\\\T_{rail} = 0.00148\ s$

FOR THE WAVE TRAVELING THROUGH AIR:

$T_{air} = \frac{Distance}{Speed\ of\ Sound\ in\ Air}\\\\T_{air} = \frac{8.8\ m}{343\ m/s}\\\\T_{air} = 0.0256\ s$

The separation in time between two pulses can now be given as follows:

$\Delta T = T_{air}-T_{rail} \\\Delta T = 0.0256\ s - 0.00148\ s\\$

The driver of a car going 86.0 km/h suddenly sees the lights of a barrier 44.0 m ahead. It takes the driver 0.75 s to apply the

Lynna [10]

Part a

Answer: NO

We need to calculate the distance traveled once the brakes are applied. Then we would compare the distance traveled and distance of the barrier.

Using the second equation of motion:

$s=ut+0.5at^2$

where s is the distance traveled, u is the initial velocity, t is the time taken and a is the acceleration.

It is given that, u=86.0 km/h=23.9 m/s, t=0.75 s, $a=-10.0 m/s^2$

$\Rightarrow s=23.9 m/s \times 0.75s+0.5\times (-10.0 m/s^2)\times (0.75 s)^2=15.11 m$

Since there is sufficient distance between position where car would stop and the barrier, the car would not hit it.

Part b

Answer: 29.6 m/s

The maximum distance that car can travel is $s=44.0 m$

The acceleration is same, $a=-10.0 m/s^2$

The final velocity, v=0

Using the third equation of motion, we can find the maximum initial velocity for car to not hit the barrier:

$v^2-u^2=2as$

$0-u^2=-2 \time 10.0m/s^2 \times 44.0 m\Rightarrow u=\sqrt{880 m^2/s^2}=29.6 m/s$

Hence, the maximum speed at which car can travel and not hit the barrier is 29.6 m/s.

Suppose you wanted to hold up an electron against the force of gravity by the attraction of a fixed proton some distance above i

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

The value is $r = 5.077 \ m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The Coulomb constant is $k = 9.0 *10^{9} \ N\cdot m^2 /C^2$

The charge on the electron/proton is $e = 1.6*10^{-19} \ C$

The mass of proton $m_{proton} = 1.67*10^{-27} \ kg$

The mass of electron is $m_{electron } = 9.11 *10^{-31} \ kg$

Generally for the electron to be held up by the force gravity

Then

Electric force on the electron = The gravitational Force

i.e

$m_{electron} * g = \frac{ k * e^2 }{r^2 }$

$\frac{9*10^9 * (1.60 *10^{-19})^2 }{r^2 } = 9.11 *10^{-31 } * 9.81$

$r = \sqrt{25.78}$

$r = 5.077 \ m$
