Answer:

C. 18

Explanation:

Hi, you haven't provided the depression per floor so I'll explain to you how to do it for a given depression/floor and you can extend it to your problem by applying the same steps. Since each additional floor generates a constant depression the depression generated for one floor (depression/floor) multiply by the number of extra floors will give you the total depression:

(depression per floor)*(number of floors added) = Total depression

Because the maximum depression accepted is 20 cm:

(depression per floor)*(number of floors added) < 20 cm

If the depression per floor is one centimeter:

1 cm * (number of floors added) < 20 cm

number of floors added < 20 cm

For this example, the answer would be 18 floors because is the maximum number of floors, in the list of options, that doesn't contradict the inequality (18 cm < 20 cm)

<h2>Number of Floors</h2>

Thus each supplementary level will obtain the construction of tub with x so make the unit "cm".  It can be x cm. Presently we understand that the highest cavity is 20 cm, and it is also x*y, where y is the number of floors. Consequently, we possess x*y=20 since the number of floors is:

20/x  =

What is the electric potential energy of an electron at the negative end of the cable, relative to the positive end of the cable
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

Electric potential energy at the negative terminal: 1.92\cdot 10^{-18}J

Explanation:

When a particle with charge q travels across a potential difference \Delta V, then its change in electric potential energy is

\Delta U = q \Delta V

In this problem, we know that:

The particle is an electron, so its charge is

q=-1.60\cdot 10^{-19}C

We also know that the positive terminal is at potential

V_+=0V

While the negative terminal is at potential

V_-=-12 V

Therefore, the potential difference (final minus initial) is

\Delta V = -12-0 = -12 V

So, the change in potential energy of the electron is

\Delta U = (-1.6\cdot 10^{-19})(-12)=1.92\cdot 10^{-18}J

This means that the electron when it is at the negative terminal has 1.92\cdot 10^{-18}J of energy more than when it is at the positive terminal.

Since the potential at the positive terminal is 0, this means that the electric potential energy of the electron at the negative end is

1.92\cdot 10^{-18}J

A 544 g ball strikes a wall at 14.3 m/s and rebounds at 14.4 m/s. The ball is in contact with the wall for 0.042 s. What is the
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

F = 371.738\,N

Explanation:

Let assume that ball strikes a vertical wall in horizontal direction. The situation can be modelled by the appropriate use of the definition of Moment and Impulse Theorem, that is:

(0.544\,kg)\cdot (14.3\,\frac{m}{s})-F\cdot \Delta t = -(0.544\,kg)\cdot (14.4\,\frac{m}{s} )

F\cdot \Delta t = 15.613\,\frac{kg}{m\cdot s}

The average force acting on the ball during the collision is:

F = \frac{15.613\,\frac{kg}{m\cdot s} }{0.042\,s}

F = 371.738\,N

What direction does centripetal acceleration point?
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

Inward

Explanation:

As the centripetal force acts upon an object moving in a circle at constant speed, the force always acts inward as the velocity of the object is directed tangent to the circle. This would mean that the force is always directed perpendicular to the direction that the object is being displaced. hope this helps :)
