Answer:

1:4

Explanation:

The formula for calculating kinetic energy is:

KE=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

If the mass is multiplied by 4, then, the kinetic energy must be increased by 4 as well. Since they will be travelling at the same speed when they are at the same point, the relation between KA and KB must be 1:4 or 1/4. Hope this helps!

Surrounding every charge (or group of charges) is a thing, called an electric field. (it is a vector thing). E. Definition: The electric field at a point. E in empty space is a vector quantity which can be measured by the following procedure: place a small test charge q at that point, measure the force on q due to all other charges.

lukranit [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the time required for acceleration a₁ and deceleration a₂ be t₁ and t₂ .

Since final velocity during acceleration and initial velocity during deceleration are same

a₁ t₁ = a₂ t₂

5t₁ = 2 t₂ ------------------------------------------ ( 1 )

Distance travelled during acceleration = 1/2 a₁t₁²

= 1/2 x 5 x t₁² = 2.5 t₁²

Distance travelled during deceleration = 1/2 a₂t₂²

= 1/2 x 2 x t₂² = t₂²

Total distance travelled = 2 miles = 2 x 1760 x 3 ft = 10560

2.5 t₁² + t₂² = 10560

2.5 ( 2t₂ / 5  )² + t₂² = 10560

.4 t₂² + t₂² = 10560

1.4 t₂² = 10560

t₂ = 86.85 s

t₁ = 2t₂ / 5 = 34.75 s

t₁ + t₂ = 121.6 = 122 s

Total time taken = 122 s .

maximum velocity = a₁t₁

= 5 x 34.75 = 173.75 = 174 m/s .

345nm=____mm<br>I need to see how to work the problem out​
Amanda [17]

Answer:

3.45×10⁻⁴mm (or 0.000345mm)

Explanation:

Use a method called dimensional analysis here. It involves a chain of conversions, so we'll need some conversions to work with.

  • 1nm = 1×10⁻⁹m
  • 1mm = 1×10⁻³m
  • 345nm; which is given

If you knew the conversion from nanometers to millimeters then you could just do it in one step. But I don't, so I won't. Anyways, you put the conversions into fraction form like so:

  • 1nm/1×10⁻⁹m
  • 1mm/1×10⁻³m

And then orient them in a way where multiplying the two (or more in other instances) gives you the units you want. In this cas it's millimeters so you'll have:

(345nm)•(1×10⁻⁹m/1nm)•(1mm/1×10⁻³m)

Notice how all the units reduce except for mm. From here you just multiply across and should get 345×10⁻⁶mm which simplifies to 3.45×10⁻⁴mm.
