Sonja [21]4 years ago

If I remember correctly (from my studies long time ago) the layers are from the outer to the center:
SiAl : Silicon-Aluminum
SiMa : Silicon-Magnesium (although should be Mg)
NiFe : Nickel-Iron

The SiMa layer should have the lightest elements (Magnesium is lighter than Aluminum)

A 73-kg Norwegian olympian ski champion is going down a hill sloped at 39 ◦ . The coefficient of kinetic friction between the sk
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

Explanation:

net force on the skier = mg sin 39 - μ mg cos39

mg ( sin39 - μ cos39 )

= 73 x 9.8 ( .629 - .116)

= 367 N

impulse = net force x time = change in momentum .

= 367 x 5 = 1835 kg m /s

velocity of the skier after 5 s = 1835 / 73

= 25.13 m /s

b )

net force becomes zero

mg ( sin39 - μ cos39 ) = 0

μ = tan39

= .81

c )

net force becomes zero , so he will continue to go ahead with constant speed of 25.13 m /s

so he will have speed of 25.13 m /s after 5 s .

Q 19.23: A proton is initially moving at 3.0 x 105 m/s. It moves 3.5 m in the direction of a uniform electric field of magnitude
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

The kinetic energy of the proton at the end of the motion is 1.425 x 10⁻¹⁶ J.

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity of proton, v_p_i = 3 x 10⁵ m/s

distance moved by the proton, d = 3.5 m

electric field strength, E = 120 N/C

The kinetic energy of the proton at the end of the motion is calculated as follows.

Consider work-energy theorem;

W = ΔK.E

W =K.E_f - K.E_i

where;

K.Ef is the final kinetic energy

W is work done in moving the proton = F x d  = (EQ) x d = EQd

K.E_f =EQd + \frac{1}{2}m_pv_p_i^2

m_p \ is \ mass \ of \ proton = 1.673 \ \times \ 10^{-27} kg \\\\Q \ is \ charge \ of \ proton = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} C

K.E_f = 120\times 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \times 3.5   \ + \ \frac{1}{2}(1.673\times 10^{-27})(3\times 10^5)^2 \\\\

K.E_f = 6.72\times 10^{-17} \ + \ 7.53 \times 10^{-17} \\\\K.E_f = 14.25 \times 10^{-17} J\\\\K.E_f = 1.425\times 10^{-16} \ J

Therefore, the kinetic energy of the proton at the end of the motion is 1.425 x 10⁻¹⁶ J.
