A ball is thrown horizontally from the top of a building 14.9 m high. The ball strikes the ground at a point 107 m from the base

umka2103 [35]

Answer:

1) t=1.743 sec

2)Vo=61.388 m/sec

3)the x component of its velocity just be- fore it strikes the ground is the same as the initial velocity of the ball that is=61.388 m/sec

4)Vf=17.08 m/s

Explanation:

1)From second equation of motion we get

h=Vit+(1/2)gt^2

here in case(a): Vi=0 m/s,h=14.9m,,put these values in above equation to find the time the ball is in motion

14.9=(0)*t+(1/2)(9.8)t^2

t^2=14.9/4.9

t^2=3.040 sec

t=1.743 sec

2) s=Vo*t

Putting values we get

107=Vo*1.743

Vo=61.388 m/sec

3)the x component of its velocity just be- fore it strikes the ground is the same as the initial velocity of the ball that is=61.388 m/sec

4)From third equation of motion we know that

Vf^2-Vi^2=2gh

here Vi=0 m/s,h=14.9 m

Vf^2=Vi^2+2gh=0+2(9.8)(14.9)

Vf^2=292.04

Vf=17.08 m/s

An alpha particle has a charge of +2e and a mass of 6.64 x 10-27 kg. It is accelerated from rest through a potential difference

kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

a) v = 1.075*10^7 m/s

b) FB = 7.57*10^-12 N

c) r = 10.1 cm

Explanation:

(a) To find the speed of the alpha particle you use the following formula for the kinetic energy:

$K=qV$ (1)

q: charge of the particle = 2e = 2(1.6*10^-19 C) = 3.2*10^-19 C

V: potential difference = 1.2*10^6 V

You replace the values of the parameters in the equation (1):

$K=(3.2*10^{-19}C)(1.2*10^6V)=3.84*10^{-13}J$

The kinetic energy of the particle is also:

$K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$ (2)

m: mass of the particle = 6.64*10^⁻27 kg

You solve the last equation for v:

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2K}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(3.84*10^{-13}J)}{6.64*10^{-27}kg}}\\\\v=1.075*10^7\frac{m}{s}$

the sped of the alpha particle is 1.075*10^6 m/s

b) The magnetic force on the particle is given by:

$|F_B|=qvBsin(\theta)$

B: magnitude of the magnetic field = 2.2 T

The direction of the motion of the particle is perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic field. Then sinθ = 1

$|F_B|=(3.2*10^{-19}C)(1.075*10^6m/s)(2.2T)=7.57*10^{-12}N$

the force exerted by the magnetic field on the particle is 7.57*10^-12 N

c) The particle describes a circumference with a radius given by:

$r=\frac{mv}{qB}=\frac{(6.64*10^{-27}kg)(1.075*10^7m/s)}{(3.2*10^{-19}C)(2.2T)}\\\\r=0.101m=10.1cm$

the radius of the trajectory of the electron is 10.1 cm

A Ray of light in air is incident on an air to glass boundary at an angle of 30. degrees with the normal. If the index of refrac

elena55 [62]

Answer:

Explanation:

Snell's law states:

n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂

where n is the index of refraction and θ is the angle of incidence (relative to the normal).

The index of refraction of air is approximately 1. So:

1 sin 30° = 1.52 sin θ

θ ≈ 19°
