An apple drops from the tree and falls freely. The apple is originally at rest a height H0 above the ground. The ground is cover

ed with a thick lawn, which is made of blades of grass of height h. When the apple enters the grass, it slows down at a constant rate so that its speed is 0 when it reaches ground level.
A)Find the speed of the apple just before it enters the grass

B) Find the acceleration of the apple while it is in the grass

Answer:

Explanation:

The distance travelled in the free fall is H - h  

Since the apple originally started from rest we can use v^2 =  u^2 + 2 x g x s  where v is the final velocity, g the accln due to gravity and s the distance travelled and u is the initial velocity = 0

So the velocity just before it enters the grass is sq rt [2 x g x (H - h)]

Once in the grass, it slows down at a constant rate which means that the acceleration (a) during this period is constant.

So once again using the same formula we have v = O and u = sq rt[2 x g x (H-h)]

so since v^2 = u^2 + 2 x a x s then  

O^2 = 2 x g x (H-h) + 2 x a x h

{O^2 - 2 x g x (H - h)}/(2 x h) = a

Good question. It like a fail safe,if you hit a car tail gate going slightly fast it come out to protect you from hitting your on the the wheel or the mirror. See if you don't have a seat belt or it just don't fully stop you the airbag might help.Like concussions.  I Hope This Help you :)

A charged particle of mass m = 5.00g and charge q = -70.0μC moves horizontally to the right at a constant velocity of v = 30.0 k
pychu [463]

Answer:

The magnitude of the force, B = 5 Tesla, Up (North) direction

Explanation:

Magnetic force F= Eq where Electric field, E = 750 NC

and charge, q = -70 μC = -7 ×10^{-5}C

F = 750 ×  -7 ×10^{-5}

F = 0.0525

But F = qvB; B = \frac{F}{qv}

where B is the magnetic field

= 0.0525 ÷ ( -7 ×10^{-5} × 30)

B = 5.0 Teslas

The force on a negative charge is in exactly the opposite direction to that on a positive charge.

Hence the direction of the charge is up (North).

What causes the particles within the nucleus of an atom to bond together? Question 12 options: electromagnetism gravity weak nuc
monitta

Answer:

Strong nuclear force

Explanation:

The particles in the atom's nucleus bond together because there is a strong nuclear force between the protons and neutrons that attracts them to each other and binds together the nucleus.
