When a high-energy proton or pion traveling near the speed of light collides with a nucleus, it may travel 2.5 x 10-15 m before

Tasya [4]

Explanation:

It is given that,

When a high-energy proton or pion traveling near the speed of light collides with a nucleus, $d=2.5\times 10^{-15}\ m$

Speed of light, $c=3\times 10^{8}\ m\s$

Let t is the time interval required for the strong interaction to occur. The speed is given by :

$c=\dfrac{d}{t}$

$t=\dfrac{d}{c}$

$t=\dfrac{2.5\times 10^{-15}\ m}{3\times 10^{8}\ m/s}$

$t=8.33\times 10^{-24}\ s$

So, the time interval required for the strong interaction to occur is $8.33\times 10^{-24}\ s$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

A person swings a 0.546-kg tether ball tied to a 4.56-m rope in an approximately horizontal circle. If the maximum tension the r

Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

2.1 rad/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a tether ball, m = 0.546 kg

Length of a rope, l = 4.56 m

The maximum tension the rope can withstand before breaking is 11.0 N

We need to find the maximum angular speed of the ball. Let v is the linear velocity. The maximum tension is balanced by the centripetal force acting on it. It can be given by :

$F=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}\\\\v=\sqrt{\dfrac{Fr}{m}} \\\\v=\sqrt{\dfrac{11\times 4.56}{0.546}} \\\\=9.584\ m/s$

Let $\omega$ is the angular speed of the ball. The relation between the angular speed and angular velocity is given by :

$v=r\omega\\\\\omega=\dfrac{v}{r}\\\\=\dfrac{9.584}{4.56}\\\\=2.1\ rad/s$

So, the maximum angular speed of the ball is 2.1 rad/s.

An object with a mass of 10 kg is rolled down a frictionless ramp from a height of 3 meters. If a factory worker at the bottom o

ruslelena [56]

Answer:

The amount of work the factory worker must to stop the rolling ramp is 294 joules

Explanation:

The object rolling down the frictionless ramp has the following parameters;

The mass of the object = 10 kg

The height from which the object is rolled = 3 meters

The work done by the factory worker to stop the rolling ramp = The initial potential energy, P.E., of the ramp

Where;

The potential energy P.E. = m × g × h

m = The mass of the ramp = 10 kg

g = The acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

h = The height from which the object rolls down = 3 m

Therefore, we have;

P.E. = 10 kg × 9.8 m/s² × 3 m = 294 Joules

The work done by the factory worker to stop the rolling ramp = P.E. = 294 joules

How does an atom change if all of its electrons are removed?

Alex

The atom becomes positively charged.

When you add electrons to a neutral atom, it is no longer a neutral atom, it has a negative change and is an anion. When you take away electrons from a neutral atom, it is no longer a neutral atom- it becomes a positive atom, and is a cation.
