A positively charged particle initially at rest on the ground accelerates upward to 160 m/s in 2.10 s. The particle has a charge

mamaluj [8]

Answer:

The magnitude of the electric field is $8.6\times10^{2}\ N/C$

Explanation:

Given that,

Time t = 2.10 s

Speed = 160 m/s

Specific charge =Ratio of charge to mass = 0.100 C/kg

We need to calculate the acceleration

Using equation of motion

$a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}$

Put the value into the formula

$a=\dfrac{160-0}{2.10}$

$a=76.19\ m/s^2$

We need to calculate the magnitude of the electric field

Using formula of electric field

$E=\dfrac{F}{q}$

$E=\dfrac{ma}{q}$

$E=\dfrac{a+g}{\dfrac{q}{m}}$

Put the value into the formula

$E=\dfrac{76.19+9.8}{0.100}$

$E=8.6\times10^{2}\ N/C$

The direction is upward.

Hence, The magnitude of the electric field is $8.6\times10^{2}\ N/C$

A 15.0 kg turntable with a radius of 25 cm is covered with a uniform layer of dry ice that has a mass of 9.0 kg. The angular spe

liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

ω₂=1.20

Explanation:

Given that

mass of the turn table ,M= 15 kg

mass of the ice ,m= 9 kg

radius ,r= 25 cm

Initial angular speed ,ω₁ = 0.75 rad/s

Initial mass moment of inertia

$I_1=\dfrac{M+m}{2}r^2$

$I_1=\dfrac{15+9}{2}\times 0.25^2\ kg.m^2$

$I_1=0.75\ kg.m^2$

Final mass moment of inertia

$I_2=\dfrac{M}{2}r^2$

$I_2=\dfrac{15}{2}\times 0.25^2\ kg.m^2$

$I_2=0.468\ kg.m^2$

Lets take final speed of the turn table after ice evaporated =ω₂ rad/s

Now by conservation angular momentum

I₁ ω₁ =ω₂ I₂

$\omega_2=\dfrac{0.75\times 0.75}{0.468}\ rad/s$

ω₂=1.20

Explain where you observe reflection, refraction, and absorption of light in your everyday activities

Studentka2010 [4]

Reflection: you look in the mirror.
Refraction: You put a straw in a glass of water, and it looks like it broke.
Absorption: If you have a black sweater and you wear it out in the cold, the black sweater is going to hold in heat better than a lighter sweater because the black sweater absorbs light .

A sound is recorded at 19 decibels. What is the intensity of the sound?

sp2606 [1]

$1 \times 10^{-10.1} \mathrm{Wm}^{-2}$ is the intensity of the sound.

Answer: Option B

<u>Explanation:</u>

The range of sound intensity that people can recognize is so large (including 13 magnitude levels). The intensity of the weakest audible noise is called the hearing threshold. (intensity about $1 \times 10^{-12} \mathrm{Wm}^{-2}$ ). Because it is difficult to imagine numbers in such a large range, it is advisable to use a scale from 0 to 100.

This is the goal of the decibel scale (dB). Because logarithm has the property of recording a large number and returning a small number, the dB scale is based on a logarithmic scale. The scale is defined so that the hearing threshold has intensity level of sound as 0.

$\text { Intensity }(d B)=(10 d B) \times \log _{10}\left(\frac{I}{I_{0}}\right)$

Where,

I = Intensity of the sound produced

$I_{0}$ = Standard Intensity of sound of 60 decibels = $1 \times 10^{-12} \mathrm{Wm}^{-2}$

So for 19 decibels, determine I as follows,

$19 d B=(10 d B) \times \log _{10}\left(\frac{I}{1 \times 10^{-12} W m^{-2}}\right)$

$\log _{10}\left(\frac{1}{1 \times 10^{-12} \mathrm{Wm}^{-2}}\right)=\frac{19}{10}$

$\log _{10}\left(\frac{1}{1 \times 10^{-12} \mathrm{Wm}^{-2}}\right)=1.9$

When log goes to other side, express in 10 to the power of that side value,

$\left(\frac{I}{1 \times 10^{-12} W m^{-2}}\right)=10^{1.9}$

$I=1 \times 10^{-12} \mathrm{Wm}^{-2} \times 10^{1.9}=1 \times 10^{-12-1.9}=1 \times 10^{-10.1} \mathrm{Wm}^{-2}$

What is true weightlessness ?

alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

weightlessness, condition experienced while in free-fall, in which the effect of gravity is canceled by the inertial (e.g., centrifugal) force resulting from orbital flight. ... Excluding spaceflight, true weightlessness can be experienced only briefly, as in an airplane following a ballistic (i.e., parabolic) path.
