Answer:

Explanation:

The definition of a fossil is the preserved remains of a prehistoric organism or is slang for someone or something that is outdated. An example of a fossil is the preserved remains from a prehistoric organism that have been preserved inside rock.

The voltage between two parallel plates separated by a distance of 3. 0 cm is 120 v. The electric field between the plates is?

Lapatulllka [165]

The electric field between plates is 4000V/m.

An electric field (sometimes E-field) is the physical field that surrounds electrically charged particles and exerts force on all other charged particles in the field, either attracting or repelling them. It also refers to the physical field for a system of charged particles.

The value of the electric field has dimensions of force per unit charge. In the metre-kilogram-second and SI systems, the appropriate units are newtons per coulomb, equivalent to volts per metre.

The voltage between points A and B is

V=E.d

E =V/d (uniform E- field only)

where d is the distance from A to B, or the distance between the plates.

Given:

distance d = 3 cm

voltage V = 120 V

Electric field E = V/d

E = 120 V / 3cm

E = 40 V / 1 cm [ 1 cm = 1/100 m ]

E = 4000 V/m.

Suppose a rocket ship accelerates upwards with acceleration equal in magnitude to twice the magnitude of g (we say that the rock

pashok25 [27]

Answer:

a) $s_a=98100\ m$ is the height where the rocket stops accelerating and its fuel is finished and starts decelerating while it still continues to move in the upward direction.

b) $v_a=1962\ m.s^{-1}$ is speed of the rocket going when it stops accelerating.

c) $H=294300\ m$

d) $t_T=544.95\ s$

e) Zero, since the average velocity is the net displacement per unit time and when the rocket strikes back the earth surface the net displacement is zero.

Explanation:

Given:

acceleration of rocket, $a=2g=2\times 9.81=19.62\ m.s^{-2}$

time for which the rocket accelerates, $t_a=100\ s$

<u>For the course of upward acceleration:</u>

using eq. of motion,

$s_a=ut+\frac{1}{2}at_a^2$

where:

$u=$ initial velocity of the rocket at the launch $=0$

$s_a=$ height the rocket travels just before its fuel finishes off

so,

$s_a=0+\frac{1}{2}\times 19.62\times 100^2$

a) $s_a=98100\ m$ is the height where the rocket stops accelerating and its fuel is finished and starts decelerating while it still continues to move in the upward direction.

<u>Now the velocity of the rocket just after the fuel is finished:</u>

$v_a=u+at_a$

$v_a=0+19.62\times 100$

b) $v_a=1962\ m.s^{-1}$ is speed of the rocket going when it stops accelerating.

After the fuel is finished the rocket starts to decelerates. So, we find the height of the rocket before it begins to fall back towards the earth.

Now the additional height the rocket ascends before it begins to fall back on the earth after the fuel is consumed completely, at this point its instantaneous velocity is zero:

using equation of motion,

$v^2=v_a^2-2gh$

where:

$g=$ acceleration due to gravity

$v=$ final velocity of the rocket at the top height

$0^2=1962^2-2\times 9.81\times h$

$h=196200\ m$

c) So the total height at which the rocket gets:

$H=h+s$

$H=196200+98100$

$H=294300\ m$

Time taken by the rocket to reach the top height after the fuel is over:

$v=v_a+g.t$

$0=1962-9.81t$

$t=200\ s$

Now the time taken to fall from the total height:

$H=v.t'+\frac{1}{2}\times gt'^2$

$294300=0+0.5\times 9.81\times t'^2$

$t'=244.95\ s$

Hence the total time taken by the rocket to strike back on the earth:

$t_T=t_a+t+t'$

$t_T=100+200+244.95$

$t_T=544.95\ s$

Zero, since the average velocity is the net displacement per unit time and when the rocket strikes back the earth surface the net displacement is zero.

A soccer ball is kicked from the top of one building with a height of H1 = 30.2 m to another building with a height of H2 = 12.0

viktelen [127]

Hi there!

Initially, we have gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy. If we set the zero-line at H2 (12.0m), then the ball at the second building only has kinetic energy.

We also know there was work done on the ball by air resistance that decreased the ball's total energy.

Let's do a summation using the equations:
$KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 \\\\PE = mgh$
