Here's the formula for the distance covered by an accelerating body in some amount of time ' T '. This formula is incredibly simple but incredibly useful. It pops up so often in Physics that you really should memorize it:

D = 1/2 a T²

Distance = (1/2)·(acceleration)·(time²)

This question gives us the acceleration and the distance, and we want to find the time.

(9,000 m) = (1/2) (20 m/s²) (time²)

(9,000 m) = (10 m/s²) (time²)

Divide each side by 10 m/s²:

(9,000 m) / (10 m/s²) = (time²)

900 s² = time²

Square root each side:

<em>T = 30 seconds</em>

The glass in a window is 35 inches wide and 20 inches tall, and standard atmospheric pressure is 14.7 pounds per square inch. Wh
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:103 pounds

Explanation:

Given

width of window b=35 in.

height of window h=20 in.

standard atmospheric pressure P_{outside}=14.7 psi

Also P_{inside}=1.01P_{outside}

Thus Net Force on the window will be the algebraic sum of Force due to outside and inside Pressure .

F_{net}=(P_{inside}-P_{outside})\cdot A

F_{net}=P_{outside}(1.01-1)\times 35\times 20

F_{net}=14.7\times 0.01\times 35\times 20

F_{net}=102.9\ pounds\approx 103\ pounds

What is the Electromagnetic Spectrum? in your own words
Inessa05 [86]
The electromagnetic spectrum is the system of frequencies that show electromagnetic radiation, respective wavelengths, and photon energies. Some examples of frequencies found on the electromagnetic spectrum are radio waves, microwaves, infrared, optical, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma-rays.

A proton initially moves left to right along the x-axis at a speed of 2.00 x 103 m/s. It moves into an uniform electric field, w
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

E = 1.04*10⁻¹ N/C

Explanation:

Assuming no other forces acting on the proton than the electric field, as this is uniform, we can calculate the acceleration of the proton, with the following kinematic equation:

vf^{2} -vo^{2} = 2*a*x

As the proton is coming at rest after travelling 0.200 m to the right,  vf = 0, and x = 0.200 m.

Replacing this values in the equation above, we can solve for a, as follows:

a = \frac{vo^{2}*mp}{2*x} = \frac{(2.00e3m/s)^{2}}{2*0.2m} = 1e7 m/s2

According to Newton´s 2nd Law, and applying the definition of an electric field, we can say the following:

F = mp*a = q*E

For a proton, we have the following values:

mp = 1.67*10⁻²⁷ kg

q = e = 1.6*10⁻¹⁹ C

So, we can solve for E (in magnitude) , as follows:

E = \frac{mp*a}{e} =\frac{1.67e-27kg*1e7m/s2}{1.6e-19C} = 1.04e-1 N/C

⇒ E = 1.04*10⁻¹ N/C

Help me pls its for my science class i need to show my work
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

P = 5880  J

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of the block, m = 30 kg

The block is sitting at a height of 20 m.

The block will have gravitational potential energy. The formula for gravitational potential energy is given by :

P=mgh\\\\=30\times 9.8\times 20\\\\=5880\ J

So, the required potential energy is equal to 5880  J.
