When we hit the puck from tap the puck will move forward.

This is due to the impulse provided by us at the time of hit. Due to this impulse the puck will move forward and start moving in some direction.

As soon as puck move forward the force on it is zero as the weight of the puck is counterbalanced by the air stream force and there is no other force on it so puck will continue its motion till it will hit at some other point.

So here the motion of the puck will be uniform motion till it will collide with some other points.

So here the correct option will be given as

<em>moves with a constant speed until hitting the other end.</em>

Calculate the speed of a proton after it accelerates from rest through a potential difference of 350 V.
AVprozaik [17]

The speed of a proton after it accelerates from rest through a potential difference of 350 V is 25.86 \times 10^4 ~m/s.

Initial velocity of the proton u = 0

Given potential difference \Delta V = 350V

let's assume that the speed of the proton is v,

Since the proton is accelerating through a potential difference, proton's potential energy will change with time. The potential energy of a particle of charge q when accelerated with a potential difference \Delta V is,

    U = q \Delta V

Due to Work-Energy Theorem and Conservation of Energy - <em>If there is no non-conservative force acting on a particle then loss in Potential energy  P.E must be equal to gain in Kinetic Energy K.E</em> i.e

\Delta K = \Delta V

If the initial and final velocity of the proton is u and v respectively then,

change in Kinetic Energy  \implies  \Delta K = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 -\frac{1}{2}mu^2 = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 - 0

change in Potential Energy \implies \Delta U = q\Delta V

from conservation of energy,

             v= \sqrt{\frac{2q\Delta V}{m}}

so,         v = \sqrt{\frac{2\times 350 \times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}{1.67 \times 10^{-27}}

                = 25.86 \times 10^4 ~m/s

The electric current in a wire is 1.5A. How many electrons flow past a given point in a time of 2s?
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

The amount of electrons that flow in the given time is 3.0 C.

Explanation:

An electric current is defined as the ratio of the quantity of charge flowing through a conductor to the time taken.

i.e           I = \frac{Q}{t} ...................(1)

It is measure in Amperes and can be measured in the laboratory by the use of an ammeter.

In the given question, I = 1.5A, t = 2s, find Q.

From equation 1,

            Q = I × t

                = 1.5 × 2

               = 3.0 Coulombs

The amount of electrons that flow in the given time is 3.0 C.

The chemical equation provided shows iron rusting to form iron oxide. Use the drop-down menu to choose the coefficients that wil
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

4 Fe + 3 O_2 \rightarrow 2 Fe_2 O_3

Explanation:

The original equation is:

Fe + O_2 \rightarrow Fe_2 O_3

We notice that:

- we have 1 atom of Fe on the left, and 2 atoms of Fe on the right

- we have 2 atoms of O on the left, and 3 atoms of O on the right

Therefore, the equation is not balanced.

In order to balance it, we can add:

- a coefficient 3 in front of O_2

- a coefficient 2 in front of Fe_2 O_3

So we have:

Fe + 3 O_2 \rightarrow 2Fe_2O_3

Now the oxygen is balanced, but the iron it not balanced yet, since we have 1 Fe on the left and 4 on the right. Therefore, we should add a coefficient 4 on the Fe on the left:

4 Fe + 3 O_2 \rightarrow 2 Fe_2 O_3
