Answer:

Force on the singly charged ion will be $12.6\times 10^{-13}N$

Explanation:

We have given electric field E = 8 MN/C

So electric field in N/C will be $E=8MN/C=8\times 10^6N/C$

It is given that ion so charge on ion will be equal to $e=1.6\times 10^{-19}C$

We have to find the electric force on the ion

Electric force is equal to $F=qE$ , here q is charge and E is electric field

So force on the charge will be equal to $F=8\times 10^6\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}=12.6\times 10^{-13}N$

So force on the singly charged ion will be $12.6\times 10^{-13}N$

Here is the full question

Suppose there are 10,000 civilizations in the Milky Way Galaxy. If the civilizations were randomly distributed throughout the disk of the galaxy, about how far (on average) would it be to the nearest civilization?

(Hint: Start by finding the area of the Milky Way's disk, assuming that it is circular and 100,000 light-years in diameter. Then find the average area per civilization, and use the distance across this area to estimate the distance between civilizations.)

Answer:

1000 light-years (ly)

Explanation:

If we go by the hint; The area of the disk can be expressed as:

$A = \pi (\frac{D}{2})^2$

where D = 100, 000 ly

Let's divide the Area by the number of civilization; if we do that ; we will be able to get 'n' disk that is randomly distributed; so ;

$d= \frac{A}{N} =\frac{\pi (\frac{D}{2})^2 }{10, 000}$

The distance between each disk is further calculated by finding the radius of the density which is shown as follows:

$d = \pi r^2 e$

$r^2_e= \frac{d}{\pi}$

$r_e = \sqrt{\frac{d}{\pi} }$

replacing d = $\frac{\pi (\frac{D}{2})^2 }{10, 000}$ in the equation above; we have:

$r_e = \sqrt{\frac{\frac{\pi (\frac{D}{2})^2 }{10, 000}}{\pi} }$

$r_e = \sqrt{\frac{(\frac{D}{2})^2 }{10, 000}}$

$r_e = \sqrt{\frac{(\frac{100,000}{2})^2 }{10, 000}}$

$r_e = 500 ly$

The distance (s) between each civilization = $2(r_e)$

= 2 (500 ly)

= 1000 light-years (ly)

A 1,100 kg car is traveling initially 20 m/s when the brakes are applied. The brakes apply a constant force while bringing the c

Natalka [10]

Answer:

Work done = -220,000 Joules.

Explanation:

<u>Given the following data;</u>

Mass = 1100kg

Initial velocity = 20m/s

To find workdone, we would calculate the kinetic energy possessed by the car.

Kinetic energy can be defined as an energy possessed by an object or body due to its motion.

Mathematically, kinetic energy is given by the formula;

$K.E = \frac{1}{2}MV^{2}$

Where,

K.E represents kinetic energy measured in Joules.

M represents mass measured in kilograms.

V represents velocity measured in metres per seconds square.

Substituting into the equation, we have;

$K.E = \frac{1}{2}*1100*20^{2}$

$K.E = 550*400$

K.E = 220,000J

Therefore, the workdone to bring the car to rest would be -220,000 Joules because the braking force is working to oppose the motion of the car.

Which graph accurately shows the relationship between kinetic energy and speed as speed increases?

mixer [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

kinetic energy (KE) is the energy possessed by moving bodies. It can be expressed as:

KE = $\frac{1}{2}$ m $v^{2}$

Where: m is the mass of the object, and v its speed.

For example, a stone of mass 2kg was thrown and moves with a speed of 3 m/s. Determine the kinetic energy of the stone.

Thus,

KE = $\frac{1}{2}$ x 2 x $3^{2}$

= 9

KE = 9.0 Joules

Assume that the speed of the stone was 4 m/s, then its KE would be:

KE = $\frac{1}{2}$ x 2 x $4^{2}$

= 16

KE = 16.0 Joules

Therefore, it can be observed that as speed increases, the kinetic energy increases. Thus option B is appropriate.
