Gravity would be extremely weak, not to mention there’s no air to catch the chute

Because you would fall so slow that you would not need one.

A particle with charge 3.20×10−19 c is placed on the x axis in a region where the electric potential due to other charges increa

lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

-5 V

Explanation:

The charged particle (which is positively charged) moves from point A to B, and its kinetic energy increases: it means that the particle is following the direction of the field, so its potential energy is decreasing (because it's been converted into potential energy), therefore it is moving from a point at higher potential (A) to a point at lower potential (B). This means that the value

vb−va

is negative.

We can calculate the potential difference between the two points by using the law of conservation of energy:

$\Delta K+ \Delta U=0\\\Delta K + q\Delta V=0$

where:

$\Delta K=+1.6\cdot 10^{-18} J$ is the change in kinetic energy of the particle

$q=3.2\cdot 10^{-19} C$ is the charge of the particle

$\Delta V =V_b-V_a$ is the potential difference

Re-arranging the equation, we can find the value of the potential difference:

$\Delta V=V_b-V_a = -\frac{\Delta K}{q}=-\frac{1.6\cdot 10^{-18} J}{3.2\cdot 10^{-19} C}=-5 V$

A glass pipe system has a very corrosive liquid flowing in it (think hydrofluoric acid, say). The liquid will destroy flow meter

Soloha48 [4]

A glass pipe system has a very corrosive liquid flowing in it (think hydrofluoric acid, say). The liquid will destroy flow meters, but you need to know the flow rate. One way of measuring the flow rate is to add a fluorescent dye to the liquid at a known concentration, and then downstream activate the dye by UV light and then measure the dye concentration by emitted light. If the dye is added at 1.00 g/s, and the dye concentration downstream is 0.050% by mass, what is the unknown flow rate in kg/h

A vertical wire carries a current straight up in a region where the magnetic field vector points due north. What is the directio

Elanso [62]

Answer:

The direction of the resulting force on this current is due east.

Explanation:

Given;

direction of the magnetic field to be due north

Applying right hand rule which states that: to determine the direction of the magnetic force on a positive moving charge point the thumb of the right hand in the direction of velocity v, the fingers in the direction of magnetic field B, and a perpendicular to the palm points in the direction of magnetic force.

Since the magnetic force must be perpendicular to the magnetic field, and direction of the magnetic field is due north, then the magnetic force must be due East.

Therefore, the direction of the resulting force on this current is due east.

An egg rolls off a kitchen counter and breaks as it hits the floor. The counter is 1.0 m high, the mass of the egg is about 50 g

crimeas [40]

Use equations of motion to find the velocity just before it hits the floor:
Vf^2 = Vi^2 + 2gx 
Final velocity = 4.42m/s 

Impulse is change in momentum so: 
m(Vf - Vi) = 0.05(0 - 4.42) 
= - 0.221 kg.m/s
