12.
Because why calculating displacement you only take two points in time, in this situation being the initial position and the final position. The distance between these two points is 12 kilometers.

A ball is dropped from a building of height h. Assume the ball starts from rest and that air friction can be ignored. Derive an

agasfer [191]

Answer:

$t=\sqrt{h/g}$

Explanation:

We use the kinematics equation to solve this question:

$y(t)=y_{o}+v_{o}t+1/2*a*t^{2}$

$v_{o}=0$ because the ball is dropped

$a=-g$ the acceleration is the gravity, negative because it points downwards

$y_{o}=h$ initial height

$y(t)=h/2$ final height

So:

$h/2=h-1/2*g*t^{2}$

$t=\sqrt{h/g}$

A uniform electric field exists in the region between two oppositely charged plane parallel plates. A proton is released from re

spayn [35]

The magnitude of the electric field can be calculated using the equation

$E = \frac{F}{q}$ , where F is the Force acting on the proton and q is the charge of the proton.

We know that the charge of the proton is $q = 1.6 x 10^{-19} C$

We have to calculate the Force first.

We know that F = ma from Newton's 2nd law, where m is the mass of the proton and a is the acceleration.

We know that the mass of the proton $m = (1.67) X 10^{-27} kg$

So it turns out that we have to calculate acceleration before anything else.

In order to calculate the acceleration, we make use of the following data from the question:

Initial Velocity of the proton $V_{i} = 0$

Distance traveled $D = 1.70 cm$ = 0.017 m

Time taken for the travel between the plates $t = (1.48) X 10^{-6} s$

Acceleration a = ?

Using the equation, $D = V_{i}t + \frac{1}{2} at^{2}$ , we get

Knowing that initial velocity is 0, the equation reduces to $D = \frac{1}{2}at^{2}$

Rearranging the equation so as to make a the subject of the formula, we have

$a = \frac{2D}{t^{2} }$

Plugging in the numbers and simplifying gives us a = 1.5 x $10^{10} m/s^{2}$

We can now calculate the Force using F = ma

Plugging in the known values, we get F = 2.5 x $10^{-17} N$

Using this, we can calculate E through the equation $E = \frac{F}{q}$

Plugging the numbers and simplifying gets us E = 156.25 N/C

Thus, the magnitude of the electric field between the plates of the capacitor is 156.25 N/C

B) To calculate the Final Velocity of the proton, we can make use of the equation

$V_{f} = V_{i} + at$

Plugging the numbers in and simplifying gets us $V_{f} = (2.22) * 10^{4} m/s$

A body from the top of a 180 m high mountain is abandoned. Disregarding air resistance and adopting g = 10m / s2, determine:

elena55 [62]

Answer:

1) 6 seconds

2) 60 m/s

Explanation:

Given:

Δy = 180 m

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = 10 m/s²

1) Find t.

Δy = v₀ t + ½ at²

180 m = (0 m/s) t + ½ (10 m/s²) t²

t = 6 s

2) Find v.

v² = v₀² + 2aΔy

v² = (0 m/s)² + 2 (10 m/s²) (180 m)

v = 60 m/s
