g You are standing on a skateboard, initially at rest. A friend throws a very heavy ball towards you. You can either catch the o

bject or deflect the object back towards your friend (such that it moves away from you with the same speed as it was originally thrown). What should you do in order to MINIMIZE your speed on the skateboard?

Answer:

catch the ball

Explanation:

if you push the ball back, that equal amount of force will applied to you. however if you catch it, you absorb less of the directional energy

A solid conducting sphere has net positive charge and radiusR = 0.600 m . At a point 1.20 m from the center of the sphere, the e
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

  V_inside = 36 V

Explanation:

<u>Given  </u>

We are given a sphere with a positive charge q with radius R = 0.400 m Also, the potential due to this charge at distance r = 1.20 m is V = 24.0 V.  

<u>Required</u>

We are asked to calculate the potential at the centre of the sphere  

<u>Solution</u>

The potential energy due to the sphere is given by equation

V = (1/4*π*∈o) × (q/r)                                          (1)

Where r is the distance where the potential is measured, it may be inside the sphere or outside the sphere. As shown by equation (1) the potential inversely proportional to the distance V  

V ∝ 1/r

The potential at the centre of the sphere depends on the radius R where the potential is the same for the entire sphere. As the charge q is the same and the term (1/4*π*∈o) is constant we could express a relation between the states , e inside the sphere and outside the sphere as next

V_1/V_2=r_2/r_1

V_inside/V_outside = r/R

V_inside = (r/R)*V_outside                               (2)

Now we can plug our values for r, R and V_outside into equation (2) to get  V_inside

V_inside = (1.2 m )/(0.600)*18

               = 36 V

  V_inside = 36 V

A powerful motorcycle can accelerate from rest to 24.8 m/s (55 mi/h) in only 5.90 s. (a) What is its average acceleration in m/s
mel-nik [20]

Answer

given,

initial speed,u = 0 m/s

final speed,v = 24.8 m/s

time, t= 5.9 s

a) acceleration,

a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}

a=\dfrac{24.8 - 0}{5.9}

     a = 4.20 m/s²

b) distance to travel in that time

using equation of motion

   v² = u² + 2 as

   24.8² = 0² + 2 x 4.20 x s

       8.4 s = 615.04

          s = 73.22 m

the motorcycle will travel 73.22 m
