A toy car goes over a small ramp at a horizontal velocity of 1.21 m/s and decelerates at 0.131 m/s2 while in the air. The total

time elapsed was 0.342 seconds. What was the horizontal distance traveled?

We need to considerate only the horizontal component of the motion of the toy car.

The formula for the distance in a decelerated motion is:
s = s₀ + v₀·t - 1/2·a·t²

where:
s₀ = initial position = 0
v₀ = initial velocity = 1.21 m/s
t = time elapsed = 0.342 s
a = deceleration = 0.131 m/s²

Plugging in numbers:
s = 0 + 1.21×0.342 - 0.5×0.141×(0.342)²
= 0.406 m

Hence, the toy car traveled a distance of about 41 cm.

A little boy is standing at the edge of a cliff 1000 m high. He throws a ball straight downward at an initial speed of 20 m/s, a

marin [14]

Answer:

The ball will be at 700 m above the ground.

Explanation:

We can use the following kinematic equation

$y(t) = \ y_0 \ + \ v_0 \ t \ + \frac{1}{2} \ a \ t^2$ .

where y(t) represent the height from the ground. For our problem, the initial height will be:

$y_0 \ = \ 1000 m$ .

The initial velocity:

$v_0 = - 20 \frac{m}{s}$ ,

take into consideration the minus sign, that appears cause the ball its thrown down. The same minus appears for the acceleration:

$a=-10\frac{m}{s}$

So, the equation for our problem its:

$y(t) = \ 1000 m \ - \ 20 \ \frac{m}{s} \ t \ - \frac{1}{2} \ 10 \frac{m}{s^2} \ t^2$ .

Taking t=6 s:

$y(6 \ s) = \ 1000 m \ - \ 20 \ \frac{m}{s} \ * \ 6 \ s \ - \frac{1}{2} \ 10 \frac{m}{s^2} \ * \ (6 s)^2$ .

$y(6 \ s) = \ 1000 m \ - 120 m - \frac{1}{2} \ 10 \frac{m}{s^2} \ * \ 36 s^2$ .

$y(6 \ s) = \ 1000 m \ - 120 m - 180 m$ .

$y(6 \ s) = \ 1000 m \ - 300 m$ .

$y(6 \ s) = \ 700 m$ .

So this its the height of the ball 6 seconds after being thrown.

How many electrons make up a charge of - 30.0 μc?

Ymorist [56]

Each electron has a charge of

$q=-1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}C$

In this problem, the total charge is

$Q=-30.0 \mu C=-30.0 \cdot 10^{-6} C$

Therefore, the number of electrons contained in this total charge will be given by the total charge divided by the charge of a single electron:

$N=\frac{Q}{q}=\frac{-30.0 \cdot 10^{-6} C}{-1.6 \cdot 10^{-19} C}=1.88 \cdot 10^{14}$

Answer:

$-1.7908787542\times 10^{-9}\ C$

$3.4260289211\times 10^{-9}\ C$

$1.7908787542\times 10^{-9}\ C$

$1.6351501669\times 10^{-9}\ C$

Explanation:

r = Radius

k = Coulomb constant = $8.99\times 10^{9}\ Nm^2/C^2$

Electric field is given by

$E=-\dfrac{kq}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow q=-\dfrac{Er^2}{k}\\\Rightarrow q=-\dfrac{1610\times 0.1^2}{8.99\times 10^9}\\\Rightarrow q=-1.7908787542\times 10^{-9}\ C$

The charge is $-1.7908787542\times 10^{-9}\ C$

$Q+q=\dfrac{Er^2}{k}\\\Rightarrow Q=\dfrac{Er^2}{k}-q\\\Rightarrow Q=\dfrac{120\times 0.35^2}{8.99\times 10^9}-(-1.7908787542\times 10^{-9})\\\Rightarrow Q=3.4260289211\times 10^{-9}\ C$

The charge is $3.4260289211\times 10^{-9}\ C$

The charge inside will have the polarity changed

$q=+1.7908787542\times 10^{-9}\ C$

Outside the charge will be

$3.4260289211\times 10^{-9}-1.7908787542\times 10^{-9}\\ =1.6351501669\times 10^{-9}\ C$

The rainbow is a result of a. Diffraction of the light.

suter [353]

Rainbows are caused by the dispersion of light, which itself consists of a combination of refraction and reflection of light around little droplets of water.
