Answer:

Explanation:

As we know that force on charge given as

F = q E

E=Electric filed

F=Force

q=Charge

Torque = Force x Distance between force

For producing torque two charge is required one single charge can not produce torque.So when we placed an electron in homogeneous field then it did not experience any net torque.

So answer is No.

Suppose that a person gets hit by a bus moving at 30 mi/h with a 58,000 lbs of force in the direction of motion. If the mass of

The impulse of a force is due to the change in the motion of an object

A. The persons speed after impact is approximately 59.38 mi/h

B. The expected speed is 29.89 mi/h which is less than the findings

Reason:

Known parameters are;

The speed of the bus, v = 30 mi/h

The force with which the person was hit, F = 58,000 lbs

Mass of the bus, M = 40,000 lbs

Mass of the person, m = 150 lbs

Duration of the impact, Δt = 0.007 seconds

A. The speed of the person at the end of the impact, v, is given as follows;

The impulse of the force = F × Δt = m × Δv

For the person, we get;

58,000 lbf ≈ 1866094.816 lb·ft./s²

58,000 lbf × 0.007 s = 150 lbs × Δv

1,866,094.816 lb·ft./s²

$\Delta v = \dfrac{1,866,094.816\ lbs \times 0.007 \, s}{150 \, lbs} \approx 87.084 \ ft./s$

Δv = v₂ - v₁

The initial speed of the person at the instant, can be as v₁ = 0

The final speed, v₂ = Δv - v₁

∴ v₂ ≈ 87.084 ft./s - 0 = 87.084 ft./s

≈ 87.084 ft./s

$v_2 \approx \dfrac{87.084 \ ft./s}{y} \times\dfrac{1 \ mi}{5280 \ ft.} \times \dfrac{3,600 \ s}{1 \, hour} \approx 59.38 \ mi/h$

The speed of the person at the end of the impact, v₂ ≈ 59.38 mi/h

B. Where the momentum is conserved, we have;

m₁·v₁ + m₂v₂ = (m₁ + m₂)·v

$v = \dfrac{m_1 \cdot v_1 + m_2 \cdot v_2}{m_2 + m_1}$

$v = \dfrac{40,000 \times 30 + 150 \times 0}{40,000 + 150} \approx 29.89$

The expected speed of the person at the end of the impact is 29.89 mi/h, and therefore, the findings does not agree with the expectation

Suppose you were digging a well into saturated sediments. Why is the sediment’s permeability an important factor in deciding whe

zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

The importance of the sediments permeability is that if it is permeable, water will flow easily through the sediment and thereby produce a very good supply of water for the well.

Explanation:

When digging a well into saturated sediments, the possibility of the sediment with either little saturation or full saturation being able to provide steady water supply will be limited by how permeable it is. Now, the importance of the sediments permeability is that if it is permeable, water will flow easily through the sediment and thereby produce a very good supply of water for the well.

A series of optical telescopes produced an image that has a resolution of about 0.00350 arc second.

Mila [183]

Answer:

The smallest diameter is $D =122 \ m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The resolution of the telescope is $\theta = 0.00350 \ arc \ second$

The wavelength is $\lambda = 1.70 \mu m = 1.70 *10^{-6} \ m$

From the question we are told that

$1 arc \ sec = \frac{1}{3600^o}$

So $0.00350 \ arc \ second = x$

Therefore

$x = 0.00350 * \frac{1}{3600 }$

$x = ( 9.722*10^{-7} )^o$

Now $1^o = \frac{\pi}{180}$

So $(9.722*10^{-7})^o = \theta$

=> $\theta = (9.722*10^{-7}) * \frac{\pi}{180}$

$\theta = 1.69*10^{-8} rad$

The smallest diameter is mathematically represented as

$D = \frac{1.22 \lambda }{\theta }$

substituting values

$D = \frac{1.22 * 1.7 *10^{-6}} {1.69 *10^{-8} }$

$D =122 \ m$

1. What is the acceleration of a car that goes from 20 Km/hr to 100 km/hr in 8 seconds?

san4es73 [151]

Answer:

10 :)

You have to divide the difference of speed and divide it by the time. So 100-20 would be 80, and if you divide that by 8 it would be 10.

Hope this helps.

What is the suitable condition for the superconductivity and high resista (a) Weak phonon-phonon interactions (b) No interaction

Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

(d) A strong electron-phonon interaction

Explanation:

Superconductivity -

The phenomenon of superconductivity is due to the attractive force between electrons from the exchange of the phonons that cause the bound pair of electrons known as cooper pairs .

A strong electron -phonon intercation is suitable condition for superconductivity and high resistance .
