If the sun generates any mechanical waves, none of them
have ever reached us, because only electromagnetic waves
can travel through empty space.

Find the ratio of the final speed of the electron to the final speed of the hydrogen ion, assuming non-relativistic speeds. Take
KiRa [710]

Answer:

\frac{V_{e}}{V_{h}}=0.428*10^{2}

Explanation:

From conservation of energy states that

K_{i}+v_{i}=v_{f}+K_{f}\\ as\\K_{i}=0\\K_{f}=1/2mv^{2}\\ v_{i}=qv\\v_{f}=0\\So\\qv=1/2mv^{2}\\ v=\sqrt{\frac{2qv}{m} }\\ Velocity_{electron}=\sqrt{\frac{2qv}{m_{e}} }\\Velocity_{hydrogen}=\sqrt{\frac{2qv}{m_{h}} }\\\frac{V_{e}}{V_{h}}=\sqrt{\frac{\frac{2qv}{m_{e}}}{\frac{2qv}{m_{h}}}}\\\frac{V_{e}}{V_{h}}=\sqrt{\frac{m_{h}}{m_{e}} }\\\frac{V_{e}}{V_{h}}=\sqrt{\frac{1.67*10^{-27} }{9.11*10^{-31} } }\\\frac{V_{e}}{V_{h}}=0.428*10^{2}

From the gravitational law calculate the weight W (gravitational force with respect to the earth) of a 89-kg man in a spacecraft
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

W=\frac{773}{4.45}=173.76 l b f

Explanation:

W=\frac{G \cdot m_{e} \cdot m}{(R+h)^{2}}

The law of gravitation

G=6.673\left(10^{-11}\right) m^{3} /\left(k g \cdot s^{2}\right)

Universal gravitational constant [S.I. units]

m_{e}=5.976\left(10^{24}\right) k g

Mass of Earth [S.I. units]

m=89 kg

Mass of a man in a spacecraft [S.I. units]

R=6371 \mathrm{~km}

Earth radius [km]

Distance between man and the earth's surface

h=261 \mathrm{~km} \quad[\mathrm{~km}]

ESULT W=\frac{6.673\left(10^{-11}\right) \cdot 5.976\left(10^{24}\right) \cdot 89}{\left(6371 \cdot 10^{3}+261 \cdot 10^{3}\right)^{2}}=773.22 \mathrm{~N}

W=\frac{773}{4.45}=173.76 l b f

What is negative acceleration?
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

An object which moves in the positive direction has a positive velocity. If the object is slowing down then its acceleration vector is directed in the opposite direction as its motion (in this case, a negative acceleration).

A police car is stopped at a red light facing west. When the light turned green, a sports car speeds past it heading west at wit
frutty [35]

Answer:

14 seconds

Explanation:

Distance covered by sports car is measured with 21*t where t is time.

Distance covered by police is measured with at^2/2(t-time, a-acceleration) as it doesnt have starting velocity. If the distances are equal(police catches sport car)

then we have 21t=3/2*t^2 Solving this equation we get t=14 & t=0;

excluding the starting point we have 14 seconds
