Acceleration = ( final velocity - intial velocity ) / time

= (60-0)m/s / 3s
= 20 m/s2
the answer is a

KiRa [710]

Answer:

$\frac{V_{e}}{V_{h}}=0.428*10^{2}$

Explanation:

From conservation of energy states that

$K_{i}+v_{i}=v_{f}+K_{f}\\ as\\K_{i}=0\\K_{f}=1/2mv^{2}\\ v_{i}=qv\\v_{f}=0\\So\\qv=1/2mv^{2}\\ v=\sqrt{\frac{2qv}{m} }\\ Velocity_{electron}=\sqrt{\frac{2qv}{m_{e}} }\\Velocity_{hydrogen}=\sqrt{\frac{2qv}{m_{h}} }\\\frac{V_{e}}{V_{h}}=\sqrt{\frac{\frac{2qv}{m_{e}}}{\frac{2qv}{m_{h}}}}\\\frac{V_{e}}{V_{h}}=\sqrt{\frac{m_{h}}{m_{e}} }\\\frac{V_{e}}{V_{h}}=\sqrt{\frac{1.67*10^{-27} }{9.11*10^{-31} } }\\\frac{V_{e}}{V_{h}}=0.428*10^{2}$

The inductance of a closely packed coil of 560 turns is 8.9 mH. Calculate the magnetic flux through the coil when the current is

Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

$0.11\times 10^{-6}weber$

Explanation:

We have given number of turns N = 560

Inductance L = 8.9 mH

Current through the coil = 7 mA

Inductance of the coil is given as $L=\frac{N\Phi }{I}$

Where N is number of turns I is current and $\Phi$ is flux

So $\Phi =\frac{LI}{N}=\frac{8.9\times 10^{-3}\times 7\times 10^{-3}}{560}=0.11\times 10^{-6}weber$

One speaker generates sound waves with amplitude A.

raketka [301]

Answer:

iv) It is 9x bigger than before

Explanation:

As the amplitudes of the new speakers add directly with the original one, taking into account the phase that they have, the composed amplitude of the sound wave is as follows:

At = A + 4A -2A = 3 A

The intensity of the wave, assuming it propagates evenly in all directions, is constant at a given distance from the source, and can be expressed as follows:

I = P/A

where P= Power of the wave source, A= Area (for a point source, is equal to the surface area of a sphere of radius r, where is r is the distance to the source along a straight line)

For a sinusoidal wave, the power is proportional to the square of the amplitude, so the intensity is proportional to the square of the amplitude also.

If the amplitude changes increasing three times, the change in intensity will be proportional to the square of the change in amplitude, i.e., it will be 9 times bigger.

So, the statement iv) is the right one.
