... find length
(way 1) determine acceleration using force
only force act on skier is mg vertically. spilt vector we get force along the incline = mgsin(10) and f= ma so
ma = mgsin(10) or a = gsin(10)
a (along the incline)= gsin(10) = 10sin(10) = 1.74
v^2 = u^2 + 2as
15^2 = 3^2 + 2(1.74)s
s = 62.06 m

(way 2) using conservation of energy
energy (KE+PE) on top = energy at bottom
0.5m3^2 + mgh = 0.5m15^2 +0
h (height of incline) = (112.5 - 4.5)/10 = 19.8 m
length of incline = h/sin(10) = 62.2 m ; trigonometry

... find time
s = (u+v)t/2
t = 2s/(u+v) = 2(62.2)/(3+15) = 6.91 s

A proton is moved from the negative to the positive plate of a parallel-plate arrangement. The plates are 1.50 cm apart, and the
Nana76 [90]

(a) The proton’s potential energy change is 3.6 x 10⁻¹⁸ J.

(b) The potential difference between the negative plate and a point midway between the plates is 11.25 V.

(c) The speed of the proton just before it hits the negative plate is 6.57 x 10⁴ m/s.

<h3>Potential energy of the proton</h3>

U = qΔV

where;

  • q is charge of the proton
  • ΔV is potential difference

U = q(Ed)

U = (1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹)(1500 x 1.5 x 10⁻²)

U = 3.6 x 10⁻¹⁸ J

<h3>Potential difference between the negative plate and a point midway</h3>

ΔV = E(0.5d)

ΔV = 0.5Ed

ΔV = 0.5 (1500)(1.5 x 10⁻²)

ΔV = 11.25 V

<h3>Speed of the proton </h3>

U = ¹/₂mv²

U = mv²

v² = 2U/m

where;

  • m is mass of proton = 1.67 x 10⁻²⁷ kg

v² = (2 x 3.6 x 10⁻¹⁸) / ( 1.67 x 10⁻²⁷)

v² = 4.311 x 10⁹

v = √(4.311 x 10⁹)

v = 6.57 x 10⁴ m/s

Thus, the proton’s potential energy change is 3.6 x 10⁻¹⁸ J.

The potential difference between the negative plate and a point midway between the plates is 11.25 V.

The speed of the proton just before it hits the negative plate is 6.57 x 10⁴ m/s.

A toy dart gun has a spring with k= 128 N/m. How much force does it take to pull the spring back 0.0500 m? (Unit = N)​
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

F = 0.64 N

Explanation:

We are given;

Spring constant constant; k = 1.28 N/m

Distance; x = 0.5 m

From Hooke's law, we know that F = kx.

Thus;

F = 1.28 × 0.5

F = 0.64 N

Thus, force it takes to pull the spring back = 0.64 N

A water heater warms 35 l of water from a temperature of 22.7 c to a temperature of 83.7
fgiga [73]
The amount of energy needed to increase the temperature of a substance by \Delta T is given by
Q=m C_s \Delta T
where
m is the mass of the substance
C_s is its specific heat capacity
\Delta T is the increase in temperature

The water volume is V=35 L= 35 dm^3 = 0.035 m^3, since its density is d=1000 kg/m^3, the mass of this sample of water is
m=dV=(1000 kg/m^3)(0.035 m^3)=35 kg

The water specific heat capacity is C_s = 4.18 kJ/kg ^{\circ}C

and the increase in temperature is \Delta T=83.7 ^{\circ}C-22.7 ^{\circ}C=61^{\circ}C

Therefore, the amount of energy needed is
Q=mC_s \Delta T=(35 kg)(4.18 kJ/kg ^{\circ}C)(61^{\circ}C)=8924 kJ = 8.92 \cdot 10^6 J
