The speed of the snail is given by:

$v=\frac{S}{t}$

where S is the distance covered by the snail and t the time taken.

The snail in the problem moves by S=18 mm in t=24 s, therefore its speed is

$v=\frac{S}{t}=\frac{18 mm}{24 s}=0.75 mm/s$

The surface charge density on an infinite charged plane is - 2.10 ×10−6C/m2. A proton is shot straight away from the plane at 2.

inn [45]

Explanation:

Formula to calculate electric field because of the plate is as follows.

E = $\frac{\sigma}{2 \times \epsilon_{o}}$

= $\frac{2.10 \times 10^{-6}}{2 \times 8.85 \times 10^{-12}}$

= $1.18 \times 10^{5} N/C$

Now, we will consider that equilibrium of forces are present there. So,

ma = qE

a = $\frac{1.6 \times 10^{-19} \times 1.18 \times 10^{5}}{1.67 \times 10^{-27}}$

= $1.13 \times 10^{13} m/s^2$

According to the third equation of motion,

$v^{2} = 2 \times a \times d$

or, d = $\frac{v^{2}}{2d}$

= $\frac{(2.4 \times 10^{6})^{2}}{2 \times 1.13 \times 10^{13}}$

= 0.254 m

Thus, we can conclude that the proton will travel 0.254 m before reaching its turning point.

Talja [164]

Answer:

$\vec{a} = -(9.8~{\rm m/s^2})\^y$

Explanation:

Regardless of the initial velocity of the pebble, the acceleration of the pebble is equal to the gravitational acceleration which is equal to 9.8 m/s2 towards downwards direction.

This can be shown by Newton's Second Law. According to the law, the net force applied on an object is equal to mass times acceleration of that object.

During the downward motion, the only force acting on the pebble is the gravitational force, hence its acceleration is equal to gravitational acceleration.
