Answer:

Therefore the resistance of the air makes the movement not parabolic but shorter in each direction

Explanation:

The projectile motion is described by the kinematics equations giving a parabolic trajectory, where on the x axis there is no acceleration and on the y axis the acceleration is the acceleration of gravity.

When the air resistance is taken into account it can be approximated as a force that opposes the movement that for low speeds is proportional to the speed of the space.

Consequently, the movement in the axis and the acceleration is less, in some cases it can be so small that the constant handle speed, in this case, is called terminal velocity.

On the x-axis the friction force creates an acceleration in the negative direction of the movement that the projectile has to brake.

Therefore the resistance of the air makes the movement not parabolic but shorter in each direction.

A particle with charge q = 10-9 C and mass m = 5.0 x 10-9 kg is moving in a magnetic field whose magnitude is 0.003 T. The speed

Marina86 [1]

Answer:

a=0.212 m/s²

Explanation:

Given that

q= 10⁻⁹ C

m = 5 x 10⁻⁹ kg

Magnetic filed ,B= 0.003 T

Speed ,V= 500 m/s

θ= 45°

Lets take acceleration of the mass is a m/s²

The force on the charge due to magnetic filed B

F= q V B sinθ

Also F= m a ( from Newton's law)

By balancing these above two forces

m a= q V B sinθ

$a=\dfrac{qVB\ sin\theta}{m}$

$a=\dfrac{10^{-9}\times 500\times 0.003\times\ sin45^{\circ}}{5\times 10^{-9}}\ m/s^2$

$a=\dfrac{10^{-9}\times 500\times 0.003\times\dfrac{1}{\sqrt2}}{5\times 10^{-9}}\ m/s^2$

a=0.212 m/s²

The potential difference between two equipotential lines 5.0 mm apart has a value of 1.2 V, calculate the electric field value.

jonny [76]

Answer:

The electric field value is 240 N/C

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance = 5.0 mm

Potential difference = 1.2 V

We need to calculate the electric field value

Using formula of potential difference

$\Delta V=Ed$

$E=\dfrac{\Delta V}{d}$

Where, E = electric field

V = potential difference

d = distance

Put the value into the formula

$E=\dfrac{1.2}{5.0\times10^{-3}}$

$E= 240\ N/C$

Hence, The electric field value is 240 N/C

The mass of the car?

Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

1050 kg

Explanation:

The formula for kinetic energy is:

KE (kinetic energy) = 1/2 × m × v² where m is the mass in kg and v is the velocity or speed of the object in m/s.

We can now substitute the values we know into this equation.

KE = 472 500 J and v = 30 m/s:

472 500 = 1/2 × m × 30²

Next, we can rearrange the equation to make m the subject and solve for m:

m = 472 500 ÷ (1/2 × 30²)

m = 472 500 ÷ 450

m = 1050 kg

Hope this helps!

A cannon, positioned on a hill, shoots a cannonball horizontally at 23 m/s. The cannonball hits the stone wall 1.96 m below the

irina [24]

Answer: 14. 49 m

Explanation:

We can solve this problem with the following equations:

$x=V_{o} cos \theta t$ (1)

$y-y_{o}=V_{o} sin \theta t-\frac{1}{2}gt^{2}$ (2)

Where:

$x$ is the horizontal distance between the cannon and the ball

$V_{o}=23 m/s$ is the cannonball initial velocity

$\theta=0\°$ since the cannonball was shoot horizontally

$t$ is the time

$y=0$ is the final height of the cannonball

$y_{o}=1.96 m$ is the initial height of the cannonball

$g=9.8 m/s^{2}$ is the acceleration due gravity

Isolating $t$ from (2):

$t=\sqrt{-\frac{2(y-y_{o})}{g}}$ (3)

$t=\sqrt{-\frac{2(0 m-1.96 m)}{9.8 m/s^{2}}}$ (4)

$t=0.63 s$ (5)

Substituting (5) in (1):

$x=(23 m/s) cos(0\°) 0.63 s$ (6)

Finally:

$x=14.49 m$
