What does Atomic Collisions mean

Physics
1 answer:
stiks02 [169]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Atomic and molecular collision processes are the physical interactions of atoms and molecules when they are brought into close contact with each other and with electrons, protons, neutrons or ions. This includes energy-conserving elastic scattering and inelastic scattering.

A tugboat tows a ship with a constant force of magnitude F1. The increase in the ship's speed during a 10 s interval is 3.0 km/h
Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

The magnitude of F₁ is 3.7 times of F₂

Explanation:

Given that,

Time = 10 sec

Speed = 3.0 km/h

Speed of second tugboat = 11 km/h

We need to calculate the speed

v_{1}=\dfrac{3.0\times10^{3}}{3600}

v_{1}=0.833\ m/s

The force F₁is constant acceleration is also a constant.

F_{1}=ma_{1}

We need to calculate the acceleration

Using formula of acceleration

a_{1}=\dfrac{v}{t}

a_{1}=\dfrac{0.833}{10}

a_{1}=0.083\ m/s^2

Similarly,

F_{2}=ma_{2}

For total force,

F_{3}=F_{2}+F_{1}

ma_{3}=ma_{2}+ma_{1}

The speed of second tugboat is

v=\dfrac{11\times10^{3}}{3600}

v=3.05\ m/s

We need to calculate total acceleration

a_{3}=\dfrac{v}{t}

a_{3}=\dfrac{3.05}{10}

a_{3}=0.305\ m/s^2

We need to calculate the acceleration a₂

0.305=a_{2}+0.083

a_{2}=0.305-0.083

a_{2}=0.222\ m/s^2

We need to calculate the factor of F₁ and F₂

Dividing force F₁ by F₂

\dfrac{F_{1}}{F_{2}}=\dfrac{m\times0.83}{m\times0.22}

\dfrac{F_{1}}{F_{2}}=3.7

F_{1}=3.7F_{2}

Hence, The magnitude of F₁ is 3.7 times of F₂

An owl weighing 40N is sitting in a tree waiting to dive down to catch a mouse. If the owl's potential energy is 800 J with resp
Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

<em>h = 20 m</em>

Explanation:

<u>Gravitational Potential Energy</u>

Gravitational potential energy (GPE) is the energy stored in an object due to its vertical position or height in a gravitational field.

It can be calculated with the equation:

U=m.g.h

Where m is the mass of the object, h is the height with respect to a fixed reference, and g is the acceleration of gravity or 9.8 m/s^2.

The weight of an object of mass m is:

W = m.g

Thus, the GPE is:

U=W.h

Solving for h:

\displaystyle h=\frac{U}{W}

The weight of the owl is W=40 N and its GPE is U=800 J.

\displaystyle h=\frac{800}{40}=20

h = 20 m

An electron with a speed of 0.95c is emitted by a supernova, where cc is the speed of light. What is the magnitude of the moment
krok68 [10]

Answer:

2.59×10¯²² Kgm/s

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question include:

Velocity of electron = 0.95c

Momentum =?

Next, we shall determine the velocity of the electron. This can be obtained as follow:

Velocity of electron = 0.95c

Velocity of Light (c) = 3×10⁸ m/s

Velocity of electron = 0.95c

Velocity of electron = 0.95 × 3×10⁸

Velocity of electron = 2.85×10⁸ m/s

Finally, we shall determine the mometum of the electron.

Momentum is simply defined as the product of mass and velocity. Mathematically, it is expressed as:

Momentum = mass x Velocity

Thus, with the above formula, we calculate the momentum of the electron as follow:

Mass of electron = 9.1×10¯³¹ Kg

Velocity of electron = 2.85×10⁸ m/s

Momentum of electron =?

Momentum = mass x Velocity

Momentum = 9.1×10¯³¹ × 2.85×10⁸

Momentum = 2.59×10¯²² Kgm/s

Therefore, the momentum of the electron is 2.59×10¯²² Kgm/s

X-rays cannot pass through Earth's atmosphere. Which of these is the best location to place a telescope used to observe x-rays f
Amiraneli [1.4K]
Mountains, tops of buildings, and high-flying aircraft are all part of Earth's atmosphere, no matter how high they are. On the other hand, space doesn't belong to our atmosphere, it is outside of it. Having this in mind, the best location to place a telescope used to observe x-rays from stars is in space.

Please help I'll mark brainliest!!!!
madam [21]

This question is based on the fundamental assumption of  vector direction.

A vector is  a physical quantity which has  magnitude as well direction  for its complete specification.

The magnitude of a physical quantity is simply a  numerical number .Hence it can not be negative.

A negative vector is a vector which comes into existence when it is opposite to our assumed direction with respect to any other vector.  For instance, the vector is taken positive if it is along + X axis and negative if it is along - X axis.

As per the first option it is given that a vector is negative if its magnitude is greater than 1. It is not correct as magnitude play no role in it.

The second option tells that the magnitude of the vector is less than 1. Magnitude can not be negative. So this is also wrong.

Third one tells that a vector is negative if its displacement is along north. It does not give any detail information about the negativity of a vector.

In a general sense we assume that vertically downward motion  is negative and vertically upward is positive. In case of a falling object the motion is  vertically downward. So the velocity of that object is negative .

So last   option is  partially  correct  as  the vector can be negative depending on our choice of co-ordinate system.
