Answer: Behind you

Explanation:

The edge of the pool is the boundary of two different mediums-air and water. the light from coin would bend away from the normal at the interface of the two mediums before reaching the eyes. It means the coin would be closer than expected position and hence on reaching the bottom, the coin would be found behind you.

A proton is propelled at 4×106 m/s perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field. 1) If it experiences a magnetic force of 4.8×10−13

tia_tia [17]

Answer:

B = 0.75 T

Explanation:

As we know that the force on a moving charge in magnetic field is given by the formula

$F = qvB$

here we have

$B = \frac{F}{qv}$

here we know that

$F = 4.8 \times 10^{-13} N$

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

$v = 4 \times 10^6 m/s$

now from above equation we have

$B = \frac{4.8 \times 10^{-13}}{(1.6 \times 10^{-19})(4 \times 10^6)}$

$B = 0.75 T$

An electron enters a region with a speed of 5×10^6m/s and is slowed down at the rate of 1.25×10^-4m/s². How far does the electro

Mashutka [201]

1) The distance travelled by the electron is $1\cdot 10^{17} m$

2) The time taken is $4.0\cdot 10^{10}s$

Explanation:

1)

The electron in this problem is moving by uniformly accelerated motion (constant acceleration), so we can use the following suvat equation

$v^2-u^2=2as$

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

s is the distance travelled

For the electron in this problem,

$u=5\cdot 10^6 m/s$ is the initial velocity

v = 0 is the final velocity (it comes to a stop)

$a=-1.25\cdot 10^{-4} m/s^2$ is the acceleration

Solving for s, we find the distance travelled:

$s=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2a}=\frac{0-(5\cdot 10^6)^2}{2(-1.25\cdot 10^{-4})}=1\cdot 10^{17} m$

2)

The total time taken for the electron in its motion can also be found by using another suvat equation:

$v=u+at$

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

t is the time taken

Here we have

$u=5\cdot 10^6 m/s$

v = 0

$a=-1.25\cdot 10^{-4} m/s^2$

And solving for t, we find the time taken:

$t=\frac{v-u}{a}=\frac{0-5\cdot 10^6}{-1.25\cdot 10^{-4}}=4.0\cdot 10^{10}s$

Explain three differences between a science and a pseudoscience.

grin007 [14]

1) science does not accept personal story's as evidence, pseudoscience relies on these story's as evidence.
2) science argues from scientific knowledge, pseudoscience argues from ignorance
3) science progresses, pseudoscience does not progress
and 4) (just in case) science holds pier review, pseudoscience does not

A cat is shot horizontally out of a cannon that is on top of a 125 meter tall cliff. If the cat lands 286 m away from the base o

Elden [556K]

The initial velocity of the cat is 56.6 m/s

Explanation:

The motion of the cat is a projectile motion, consisting of:

- a uniform horizontal motion with constant velocity

- a vertical accelerated motion with constant acceleration (free fall)

We start by analyzing the vertical motion, to find the time it takes for the cat to reach the ground. We use the following suvat equation:

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

where we have (choosing downard as positive direction)

s = 125 m is the vertical displacement of the cat

u = 0 is the initial vertical velocity

t is the time taken to reach the ground

$a=g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of gravity

Solving for t, we find

$t=\sqrt{\frac{2s}{a}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(125)}{9.8}}=5.05 s$

Now we can analzye the horizontal motion. Since the motion is uniform and the horizontal velocity is constant, it is given by

$v_x =\frac{d}{t}$

where

d = 286 m is the horizontal distance travelled

t = 5.05 s is the time taken

Solving the equation,

$v_x = \frac{286}{5.05}=56.6 m/s$
