As you increase altitude, air pressure increases. a. True b. False

1 answer:

6 0

B. False

As you increase altitude, air pressure actually reduces. The air thins out as increase in altitude and hence it weight or pressure reduces.

A box is being moved with a velocity (v) by a force P (parallel to v) along a level horizontal floor. The normal force is (Fn),

labwork [276]

Answer:

Force (P) : Positive

Normal Force (Fn) : Zero

Weight (mg) : Zero

Kinetic Frictional Force (fk) : Negative

Explanation:

The work done by a force on an object is given by the following formula:

W = F.d

W = F d Cosθ

where,

W = Work Done

f = Force Applied

d = displacement

θ = Angle between force and displacement

FOR FORCE (P):

Since, force P is parallel to the motion of the box. Therefore, θ = 0°

Hence,

W = P d Cos 0°

W = P d(1)

W = Pd

Therefore, work done by force (P) is Positive.

FOR NORMAL FORCE (Fn) AND WEIGHT (W):

Since, normal force and weight are perpendicular to the motion of the box. Therefore, θ = 90°

Hence,

W = Fn d Cos 90°= mg d Cos 90°

W = Fn d(0) = mg d (0)

W = 0

Therefore, work done by Normal Force (Fn) and Weight (mg) is Zero.

FOR KINETIC FRICTIONAL FORCE (fk):

Since, kinetic frictional force acts in the opposite direction of motion of the box. Therefore, θ = 180°

Hence,

W = fk d Cos 180°

W = fk d(-1)

W = -fk d

Therefore, work done by Kinetic Frictional Force (fk) is Negative.

A Van de Graaff generator is one of the original particle accelerators and can be used to accelerate charged particles like prot

Rzqust [24]

Answer:

595391.482946 m/s

$3.21875\times 10^{6}$

Explanation:

E = Energy = 1.85 keV

I = Current = 5.15 mA

e = Charge of electron = $1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C$

t = Time taken = 1 second

m = Mass of proton = $1.67\times 10^{-27}\ kg$

Velocity of proton is given by

$v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2E}{m}}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 1.85\times 10^3\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}{1.67\times 10^{-27}}}\\\Rightarrow v=595391.482946\ m/s$

The speed of the proton is 595391.482946 m/s

Current is given by

$I=\dfrac{\Delta Q}{t}\\\Rightarrow \Delta Q=It\\\Rightarrow \Delta Q=5.15\times 10^{-3}\times (1\ sec)\\\Rightarrow Q=5.15\times 10^{-3}\ C$

Number of protons is

$n=\dfrac{Q}{e}\\\Rightarrow n=\dfrac{5.15\times 10^{-3}}{1.6\times 10^{-19}}\\\Rightarrow n=3.21875\times 10^{6}\ protons$

The number of protons is $3.21875\times 10^{6}$
