If a basketball travels a distance of 4 meters in 5 seconds, what is its average speed?

Physics
1 answer:
aliya0001 [1]3 years ago
5 0

Average speed = (distance covered) / (time to cover the distance)


Average speed = (4 meters) / (5 seconds)


Average speed = (4/5) (meters/seconds)


Average speed = 0.8 m/s

An electron and a proton are each placed at rest in an electric field of 500 N/C. Calculate the speed (and indicate the directio
Bumek [7]

Answer:

For proton: 2592 m/s In the same direction of electric field.

For electron: 4752000 m/s In the opposite direction of electric field.

Explanation:

E = 500 N/C, t = 54 ns = 54 x 10^-9 s,

Acceleration = Force /mass

Acceleration of proton, ap = q E / mp

ap = (1.6 x 10^-19 x 500) / (1.67 x 10^-27) = 4.8 x 10^10 m/s^2

Acceleration of electron, ae = q E / me

ae = (1.6 x 10^-19 x 500) / (9.1 x 10^-31) = 8.8 x 10^13 m/s^2

For proton:

u = 0, ap = 4.8 x 10^10 m/s^2, t = 54 x 10^-9 s

use first equation of motion

v = u + at

vp = 0 + 4.8 x 10^10 x 54 x 10^-9 = 2592 m/s In the same direction of electric field.

For electron:

u = 0, ae = 8.8 x 10^13 m/s^2, t = 54 x 10^-9 s

use first equation of motion

v = u + at

vp = 0 + 8.8 x 10^13 x 54 x 10^-9 = 4752000 m/s In the opposite direction of electric field.

A beam of protons is directed in a straight line along the +z direction through a region of space in which there are crossed ele
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

B = 7.6 T   direction of + x

Explanation:

For the proton beam to continue in the same direction the electric and magnetic forces must be equal

              F_{m} - F_{e} = 0

              F_{m} = F_{e}

              Fm = q E

             

The electric force is in the direction of the electric field because it is the charge of the positive proton, the electric force goes in the direction of –y, therefore, the magnetic force cancels this force must go in the direction of + y

 The magnetic force is

             F_{m} = q v x B = q v B sin θ

             θ = 90

             B = q E / q v

             B = E / v

             B = 800/105

             B = 7.6 T

To find the direction of the magnetic field we use the right hand rule, the thumb goes in the direction of the proton velocity, the fingers extended in the direction of the magnetic field and the palm is the direction of force, for a positive charge.

Thumb goes in the direction of the + z axis

Palm in the direction of +y

Fingers point in the direction of + x

How much tension must a rope withstand if it is used to accelerate a 6526 kg car vertically upwards at 8.9 m/s^2?
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

The value is T =  122036.2 \  N

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The mass of the car is  m  = 6526 \  kg

      The acceleration  is  a=  8.9 \  m/s^2

Generally the net force applied on the rope is mathematically represented as

          F_{net}   =  T -  W

Here W is the weight of the car which is evaluated as

         W =  m * g

=>      W =  6526  * 9.8

=>       W =  63954.8 \  N

Generally the net force can also be mathematically represented as

       F =  m * a

So

        m * a  =  T  -  63954.8

=>     6526  *  8.9 =  T  -  63954.8

=>      T =  122036.2 \  N

Which is not a source of electrical energy in the United States
xenn [34]

Every practical source of energy that you can imagine, as well as a few impractical ones, are used somewhere in the USA.

From whale oil in Alaska, to nuclear energy, to coal, petroleum, natural gas, solar energy, wind energy, and biomass.

Oh ! Geothermal energy and tidal energy aren't too popular, but I'll bet if you looked, you'd find these used too, SOMEwhere in the 50 states.
