The work W done by the electric field in moving the proton is equal to the difference in electric potential energy of the proton between its initial location and its final location, therefore:
W= qV_i - qV_f
where q is the charge of the proton, q=1 e = 1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C, with e being the elementary charge, and V_i = +125 V and V_f = -55 V are the initial and final voltage.

Substituting, we get (in electronvolts):
W=e(125 V-(-55 V))=180 eV
and in Joule:
W=(1.6 \cdot 10^{-19})(125 V-(-55V))=2.88 \cdot 10^{-17}J

If the IMA of a machine is 2 and the effort force is 50 newtons, then the force applied to the resistance is _____. 48 N 50 N 25
zysi [14]

IMA stands for ideal mechanical advantage, which is the theoretical force amplification factor on an ideal mechanical device free of friction, deformations, etc.


If the applied force (effort) is 50N, then the force applied to the resistance is multiplied by the IMA=2 to get 100N.

A uniform disk with a mass of 5.0 kg and diameter 30 cm rotates on a frictionless fixed axis through its center and perpendicula
igomit [66]

Answer:

Angular acceleration of the disk will be \alpha =10.714rad/sec^2

Explanation:

We have given mass of the disk m = 5 kg

Diameter of the disk d = 30 cm = 0.3 m

So radius r=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{0.3}{2}=0.15m

Moment of inertia of disk is given by I=\frac{1}{2}mr^2=\frac{1}{2}\times 5\times 0.15^2=0.056kgm^2

Force is given by F=4 N

Torque is given as \tau =Fr=4\times 0.15=0.6N-m

We also know that torque is given by \tau =I\alpha

0.6=0.056\times \alpha

\alpha =10.714rad/sec^2

A radio signal takes 1.28 s to travel from a transmitter on the Moon to the surface of Earth. The radio waves travel at 3.00108
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

s = 3.84 x 10⁸ m

Explanation:

The distance traveled by an object, while in uniform motion, is given by the following equation:

s = vt

where,

s = distance covered

v = speed

t = time interval

In this case:

s = distance between Moon and Earth = ?

v = speed of radio waves = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

t = time taken to travel = 1.28 s

Therefore,

s = (3 x 10⁸ m/s)(1.28 s)

<u>s = 3.84 x 10⁸ m</u>
