The rate at which velocity changes can be defined as acceleration or average acceleration.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity with respect to time. So, the change in velocity from the initial velocity at different time intervals will help to attain the acceleration attained by the object.

$\ a =\frac{v_{f}-v_{i}}{\Delta t}$

where,

$v_{f} \text { and } v_{i}$ – final and initial velocities, $\Delta t$ – time

If the change in velocity is constant for same time interval, then the acceleration will be constant for that object. So, an object can attain uniform acceleration when the velocity changes uniformly with time.

Answer:

acceleration

Explanation:

The rate at which velocity changes is the definition of the physical quantity called acceleration, and it is given by the formula: $a=\frac{v_f-v_i}{\Delta t}$

where $\Delta t$ is the time that took to change from the initial velocity $v_i$ to the final velocity $v_f$

Which source is considered a primary source of scientific information? an original research article in a scientific journal a re

Nitella [24]

The primary source would be the original article published in a scientific journal. All other choices would be based on information from the original article.

Newspapers would only pick up the information from the journal itself, or from the authors. Books follow after the original article, after it has gained momentum among the research community. The public lecture at a museum would be based on work from the journal article.

A singly charged positive ion has a mass of 3.46 × 10−26 kg. After being accelerated through a potential difference of 215 V the

jasenka [17]

Answer:

1.8 cm

Explanation:

$m$ = mass of the singly charged positive ion = 3.46 x 10⁻²⁶ kg

$q$ = charge on the singly charged positive ion = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

$\Delta V$ =Potential difference through which the ion is accelerated = 215 V

$v$ = Speed of the ion

Using conservation of energy

Kinetic energy gained by ion = Electric potential energy lost

$(0.5) m v^{2} = q \Delta V\\(0.5) (3.46\times10^{-26}) v^{2} = (1.6\times10^{-19}) (215)\\(1.73\times10^{-26}) v^{2} = 344\times10^{-19}\\v = 4.5\times10^{4} ms^{-1}$

$r$ = Radius of the path followed by ion

$B$ = Magnitude of magnetic field = 0.522 T

the magnetic force on the ion provides the necessary centripetal force, hence

$qvB = \frac{mv^{2} }{r} \\qB = \frac{mv}{r}\\r =\frac{mv}{qB}\\r =\frac{(3.46\times10^{-26})(4.5\times10^{4})}{(1.6\times10^{-19})(0.522)}\\r = 0.018 m \\r = 1.8 cm$

The height of the Washington Monument is measured to be 170 m on a day when its temperature is 35.0°C. What will the change in i

Alecsey [184]

Answer:

The deformation is 0.088289 m

The final height of the monument is 170-0.088289 = 169.911702 m

Explanation:

Thermal coefficient of marble varies between (5.5 - 14.1) ×10⁻⁶/K = α

So, let us take the average value

(5.5+14.1)/2 = 9.8×10⁻⁶ /K

Change in temperature = 35-(-18) = 53 K = ΔT

Original length = 170 m = L

Linear thermal expansion

$\frac{\Delta L}{L} = \alpha\Delta T\\\Rightarrow \Delta L=\frac{\alpha\Delta T}{L}\\\Rightarrow \Delta L=9.8\times 10^{-6}\times 53\times 170$

The deformation is 0.088289 m

The final height of the monument is 170-0.088289 = 169.911702 m (subtraction because of cooling)
