Sounds like half a parabola, you could imagine a broken rainbow for the shape

It would depend on how she jumped off but based on it sounds it would be a curving motion

If the electron just misses the upper plate as it emerges from the field, find the magnitude of the electric field.

Damm [24]

Answer:

The magnitude of the electric field be 171.76 N/C so that the electron misses the plate.

Explanation:

As data is incomplete here, so by seeing the complete question from the search the data is

vx_0=1.1 x 10^6

ax=0 As acceleration is zero in the horizontal axis so

Equation of motion in horizontal direction is given as

$s_x=v_x_0 t$

$t=\frac{s_x}{v_x}\\t=\frac{2 \times 10^{-2}}{1.1 \times 6}\\t=1.82 \times 10^{-8} s$

Now for the vertical distance

vy_o=0

than the equation of motion becomes

$s_y=v_y_0 t+\frac{1}{2} at^2\\s_y=\frac{1}{2} at^2\\0.5 \times 10^{-2}=\frac{1}{2} a(1.82 \times 10^{-8})^2\\a=3.02 \times 10^{13} m/s^2$

Now using this acceleration the value of electric field is calculated as

$E=\frac{F}{q}\\E=\frac{ma}{q}\\E=\frac{m_ea}{q_e}\\$

Here a is calculated above, m is the mass of electron while q is the charge of electron, substituting values in the equation

$E=\frac{9.1\times 10^{-31} \times 3.02 \times 10^{13} }{1.6 \times 10^{-19}}\\E=171.76 N/C$

So the magnitude of the electric field be 171.76 N/C so that the electron misses the plate.

Stop to Think 7.1 Which one is greater- the attraction of the Earth on 1 kg lead or the attraction of 1 kg of led

Daniel [21]

Answer:

1 kg lead to earth is greater attraction as mass of earth is much more than 1kg lead.

Explanation:

Objects with more mass have more gravity. Gravity also gets weaker with distance. So, the closer objects are to each other, the stronger their gravitational pull is. Earth's gravity comes from all its mass

Two bodies of specific heats S1 and S2 having the same heat capacities are combined to form a single composite body. What is the

Dafna11 [192]

$\qquad\qquad\huge\underline{{\sf Answer}}♨$

Heat capacity of body 1 :

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:m_1s_1$

Heat capacity of body 2 :

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:m_2s_2$

it's given that, the the head capacities of both the objects are equal. I.e

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:m_1s_1 = m_2s_2$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:m_1 = \dfrac{m_2s_2}{s_1}$

Now, consider specific heat of composite body be s'

According to given relation :

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:(m_1 + m_2) s' = m_1s_1 + m_2s_2$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:s' = \dfrac{ m_1s_1 + m_2s_2}{m_1 + m_2}$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:s' = \dfrac{ m_2s_2+ m_2s_2}{ \frac{m_2s_2}{s_1} + m_2 }$

[ since, $m_2s_2 = m_1s_1$ ]

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:s' = \dfrac{ 2m_2s_2}{ m_2(\frac{s_2}{s_1} + 1)}$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:s' = \dfrac{ 2 \cancel{m_2}s_2}{ \cancel{m_2}(\frac{s_2}{s_1} + 1)}$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:s' = \dfrac{ 2 s_2}{ (\frac{s_2 + s_1}{s_1} )}$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \: s' = \dfrac{2s_1s_2}{s_1 + s_2}$

Is there any change in the pressure of container filled with water when the volumed is increased

marshall27 [118]

Not really the volume of a container is simply length X width X depth so just how big the container unless the water is pressurized by some sort of weight or if the containers air pressure is lowered
