To find the mass, with only the weight:

⇒ must consider the relationship between the mass and weight

⇒ (in other words) we must find the equation that has both the

mass and weight

Based on our physics knowledge, we know:

$Weight=mass*gravitational_. acceleration$

Weight: 147N
Gravitational Acceleration: 9.8 m/s²

Now let's plug in the values, and solve:

$147N = mass*9.8_.m/s^2\\mass = 15_.kg$

Answer: 15 kg

Hope that helps!

*as a note, if you use the gravitational acceleration as 10m/s², then the answer would be 14.7 kg

An electron in a television tube is accelerated uniformly from rest to a speed of 8.4\times 10^7~\text{m/s}8.4×10 7 m/s over

stich3 [128]

Answer:

P=3.42×10^-6 J/s

Explanation:

From the kinematics of motion with constant acceleration we know that :

vf^2=vi^2+2*a(xf-xi)

Where :

• vf , vi, are the the final and the initial velocity of the electron

• a is the acceleration of the electron

• xf , xi are the final and the initial position of the electron .

Strategy for solving the problem : at first from the given information we calculate the acceleration of the electron.

Givens: vf = 8.4 x 10^7 m/s , vi, = 0 m/s , xf = 0.025 m and xi = 0 m

vf^2 =vi^2+2*a(xf-xi)

vf^2-vi^2=2*a(xf-xi)

2*a(xf-xi)= vf^2-vi^2

a = (vf^2-vi^2)/2(xf-xi)

Pluging known information to get :

a = (vf^2-vi^2)/2(xf-xi)

= 1.411 × 10^17

From the acceleration and the previous Eq. we can calculate the final velocity of the electron but a new position xf = 0.01 m

so,

vf^2 =vi^2+2*a(xf-xi)

vf^2 =5.312× 10^7

From the following Eq. we can calculate the time elapsed in this motion .

xf =xi+vi*t+1/2*a*t

t=√2(xf-xi)/a

t=3.765×10^-10 s

now we can use the power P Eq.

P=W/Δt => ΔK/Δt

Where: the work done W change the kinetic energy K of the electron ,

ΔK=Kf-Ki=>1/2*m*vf^2-1/2*m*vi^2

P=1/2*m*vf^2-1/2*m*vi^2/Δt

P=3.42×10^-6 J/s

A rocket of mass m is to be launched fromplanet X, which has a mass M and a radius R. What is the minimum speed that the rocket

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

The minimum speed = $\sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R} }$

Explanation:

The minimum speed that the rocket must have for it to escape into space is called its escape velocity. If the speed is not attained, the gravitational pull of the planet would pull down the rocket back to its surface. Thus the launch would not be successful.

The minimum speed can be determined by;

Escape velocity = $\sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R} }$

where: G is the universal gravitational constant, M is the mass of the planet X, and R is its radius.

If the appropriate values of the variables are substituted into the expression, the value of the minimum speed required can be determined.

What is the resistance at 20°C of a 2.0-meter length of tungsten wire with a cross-sectional area of 7.9 10^-7

Bad White [126]

Answer:

1.4 * 10 ^-1 Ω

Explanation:

Hi,

For this question, we gotta use the formula

R = pL/A

p = The resistivity of your material at 20°C

L = length of the wire

A = cross-sectional area

The resistivity of tungsten is 5.60 * 10^-8 at 20°C

By plugging the values, we get:

R = (5.60 * 10^-8)(2.0)/(7.9*10^-7) = 1.4 * 10 ^-1 Ω
