What happens when a electron and a proton get close together?
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

it leads to attraction, only because the total energy of the electron is negative. Therefore the electron moves closer to the proton rather than farther from it an attractive force.... Electrons are negatively charged and protons are positively charged.

Kinetic energy and mass are ________ proportional.
omeli [17]

Answer:

The Kinetic energy and mass are _directly_ proportional.

Explanation:

We know that Kinetic Energy is basically termed as the capacity of a body to do work.

Kinetic energy is often used to associate with moving objects, therefore, K.E is normally termed as the energy of motion.

The formula of K.E of an object of mass and velocity is defined

K.E = 1/2mv²

From the formula, it is clear that K.E is directly proportional to its mass and also directly proportional to the square of its velocity.

For example,

If A toy plane with a mass of 10 kg is flying at 20 m/s. Its K.E will be:

  • m = 10 kg
  • v = 20 m/s

K.E = 1/2mv²

      = 1/2(10)(20)²

      = 1/2(10)(400)

       = 5(400)

      = 2000 J

Now, let suppose, if we double the mass of a toy plane i.e.

m = 20 kg

so

K.E = 1/2mv²

      = 1/2(20)(20)²

      = 1/2(20)(400)

      = 10(400)

      = 400 J

Therefore, the K.E is doubled when doubled the mass.

Therefore, the Kinetic energy and mass are _directly_ proportional.

A 16 g rifle bullet traveling 240 m/s buries itself in a 3.6 kg pendulum hanging on a 2.5 m long string, which makes the pendulu
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

x = 0.54 m

y = 0.058 m

Explanation:

m = mass of the bullet = 16 g = 0.016 kg

v = speed of bullet before collision = 240 m/s

M = mass of the pendulum = 3.6 kg

L = length of the string = 2.5 m

h = height gained by the pendulum after collision

V = speed of the bullet and pendulum combination

Using conservation of momentum

m v = (m + M) V

(0.016) (240) = (0.016 + 3.6) V

V = 1.062 m/s

Using conservation of energy

Potential energy gained by bullet and pendulum combination = Kinetic energy of bullet and pendulum combination

(m + M) g h = (0.5) (m + M) V²

(9.8) h = (0.5) (1.062)²

h = 0.058 m

y = vertical displacement = h = 0.058 m

x = horizontal displacement

horizontal displacement is given as

x = sqrt(L² - (L - h)²)

x =  sqrt(2.5² - (2.5 - 0.058)²)

x = 0.54 m

A student walks 350 m [S], then 400 m [E20°N], and finally 550 m [N10°W]. Using the component method, find the resultant (total)
levacccp [35]

In component form, the displacement vectors become

• 350 m [S]   ==>   (0, -350) m

• 400 m [E 20° N]   ==>   (400 cos(20°), 400 sin(20°)) m

(which I interpret to mean 20° north of east]

• 550 m [N 10° W]   ==>   (550 cos(100°), 550 sin(100°)) m

Then the student's total displacement is the sum of these:

(0 + 400 cos(20°) + 550 cos(100°), -350 + 400 sin(20°) + 550 sin(100°)) m

≈ (280.371, 328.452) m

which leaves the student a distance of about 431.8 m from their starting point in a direction of around arctan(328.452/280.371) ≈ 50° from the horizontal, i.e. approximately 431.8 m [E 50° N].
