What feature of an object does not affect air resistance?

lakkis [162]

The amount of air resistance an object experiences depends on its speed, its cross-sectional area, its shape and the density of the air. Air densities vary with altitude, temperature and humidity. Nonetheless, 1.29 kg/m3 is a very reasonable value. The shape of an object affects the drag coefficient (Cd)

An electron is released from rest at a distance of 6.00 cm from a proton. If the proton is held in place, how fast will the elec

lana66690 [7]

Answer:

91.87 m/s

Explanation:

Given:

x = initial distance of the electron from the proton = 6 cm = 0.06 m

y = initial distance of the electron from the proton = 3 cm = 0.03 m
u = initial velocity of the electron = 0 m/s

Assume:

m = mass of an electron = $9.1\times 10^{-31}\ kg$
v = final velocity of the electron
e = magnitude of charge on an electron = $1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C$

p = magnitude of charge on a proton = $1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C$

We know that only only electric field due to proton causes to move from a distance of 6 cm from proton to 3 cm distance from it. This means the electric force force does work on the electron to move it from one initial position to the final position which is equal to the change in potential energy of the electron due to proton.

Now, according to the work-energy theorem, the total work done by the electric force on the electron due to proton is equal to the kinetic energy change in it.

$\therefore \textrm{Kinetic energy change}= \textrm{Change in potential energy}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{2}m(v^2-u^2)= \dfrac{kpe}{y}-\dfrac{kpe}{x}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{2}m(v^2-(0)^2)= \dfrac{kpe}{0.03}-\dfrac{kpe}{0.06}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2= \dfrac{100kpe}{3}-\dfrac{100kpe}{6}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2= \dfrac{100kpe}{6}\\$

$\Rightarrow v^2= \dfrac{100kpe\times 2}{6m}\\\Rightarrow v^2= \dfrac{100kpe}{3m}\\\Rightarrow v^2= \dfrac{100\times 9\times 10^9\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}{3\times 9.1\times 10^{-31}}\\\Rightarrow v^2=8.44\times 10^3\\\Rightarrow v=91.87\ m/s\\$

Hence, when the electron is at a distance of c cm from the proton, it moves with a velocity of 91.87 m/s.

The water in a river flows uniformly at a constant speed of 2.50 m/s between parallel banks 80.0 m apart. You are to deliver a p

NISA [10]

Answer:

a) The swimmer should travel perpendicular to the bank to minimize the spent in getting to the other side.

b) 133.33 m

c) 53.13°

d) 106.67 m

Explanation:

a) The swimmer should travel perpendicular to the bank to minimize the spent in getting to the other side.

b) velocity = distance * time

Let the velocity of the swimmer be $v_{s}$ = 1.5 m/s

The separation of the two sides of the river, d = 80 m

The time taken by the swimmer to get to the other end of the river bank,

$t = \frac{d}{v_{s} }$

t = 80/1.5

t = 53.33 s

The swimmer will be carried downstream by the river through a distance, s

Let the velocity of the river be $v_{r}$ = 2.5 m/s

$S = v_{r} t$

S = 53.33 * 2.5

S = 133.33 m

c) To minimize the distance traveled by the swimmer, his resultant velocity must be perpendicular to the velocity of the swimmer relative to water

That is ,

$cos \theta = \frac{v_{s} }{v_{r} } \\cos \theta = 1.5/2.5\\cos \theta = 0.6\\\theta = cos^{-1} 0.6\\\theta = 53.13^{0}$

d) Downstream velocity of the swimmer, $v_{y} = v_{s} sin \theta\\$

$v_{y} = 1.5 sin 53.13\\v_{y} = 1.2 m/s$

The vertical displacement is given by, $y = v_{y} t$

80 = 1.2 t

t = 80/1.2

t = 66.67 s

the horizontal speed,

$v_{x} = 2.5 - 1.5cos53.13\\v_{x} = 1.6 m/s$

The downstream horizontal distance of the swimmer, $x = v_{x} t$

x = 1.6 * 66.67

x = 106.67 m

pogonyaev

Hydrogen bonds are too weak to bind atoms together to form molecules, but they do hold different parts of a single large molecule in a specific three-dimensional shape. The given statement is true.

<h3>What are hydrogen bonds?</h3>

A hydrogen bond is an electrostatic force of attraction among a hydrogen atom tightly attached to a more electronegative "donor" atom or group and another electronegative atom bearing a lone pair of electrons, known as the hydrogen bond acceptor.

Hydrogen bonds are too flimsy to connect atoms to form molecules, but they do hold various portions of a single large molecule together in a specific three-dimensional shape.

Thus, the given statement is true.
