Just how strong is the electric force? suppose you had two small boxes, each containing 1.0 g of protons. (a) if one were placed

on the moon by an astronaut and the other were left on the earth, and if they were connected by a very light (and very long!) string, what would be the tension in the string? express your answer in newtons and in pounds. do you need to take into account the gravitational forces of the earth and moon on the protons? why? (b) what gravitational force would each box of protons exert on the other box?

Let's use Newton's Law of Second Motion: F=ma. When no other direct force is acting on the system, the acceleration is due to the gravity. The modified equation becomes: F = mg. So, yes, you need to take into account the gravitational accelerations in the moon and on Earth. 

g,moon = 1.622 m/s²
g,Earth = 9.81 m/s²

The net force is the tension of the string:

F,Earth - F,moon = Tension
Tension = (1/1000 kg)(9.81 m/s²) - (1/1000 kg)(1.622 m/s²)
Tension = 8.188×10⁻³ N

To convert, 1 pound force is equal to 4.45 Newtons:

Tension = 8.188×10⁻³ N * 1 lbf/4.45 N
Tension = 1.84×10⁻³ lbf

in three situations, a briefly applied horizontal force changes the velocity of a hockey puck that slides over frictionless ice.
victus00 [196]

The work done on the Puck by the applied force from the most positive to the most negative is c, b, a respectively.

According to Newton's second law of motion, the force applied to an object is directly proportional to the product of mass and acceleration of the object.

F = ma

F= \frac{mv}{t}

The force applied to an object increases with increases in the velocity of the object.

In the given diagram, the resultant velocity of the puck is calculated as follows;

Figure a:

\Delta v = v_f -v_i\\\\\Delta v = 5 - 6 = - 1 \ m/s

Figure b:

v = \sqrt{4^2 + 3^2} \\\\v = 5 \ m/s

Figure c:

\Delta v = 4 - (-2)\\\\\Delta v = 6 \ m/s

Thus, the work done on the Puck by the applied force from the most positive to the most negative is c, b, a respectively.

A beam of protons is moving toward a target in a particle accelerator. This beam constitutes a current whose value is. (a) How m
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

a. 5 × 10¹⁹ protons b. 2.05 × 10⁷ °C

Explanation:

Here is the complete question

A beam of protons is moving toward a target in a particle accelerator. This beam constitutes a current whose value is 0.42 A. (a) How many protons strike the target in 19 seconds? (b) Each proton has a kinetic energy of 6.0 x 10-12 J. Suppose the target is a 17-gram block of metal whose specific heat capacity is 860 J/(kg Co), and all the kinetic energy of the protons goes into heating it up. What is the change in temperature of the block at the end of 19 s?

Solution

a.

i = Q/t = ne/t

n = it/e where i = current = 0.42 A, n = number of protons, e = proton charge = 1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ C and t = time = 19 s

So n = 0.42 A × 19 s/1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ C

       = 4.98 × 10¹⁹ protons

       ≅ 5 × 10¹⁹ protons

b

The total kinetic energy of the protons = heat change of target

total kinetic energy of the protons = n × kinetic energy per proton

                                                         = 5 × 10¹⁹ protons × 6.0 × 10⁻¹² J per proton

                                                         = 30 × 10⁷ J

heat change of target = Q = mcΔT ⇒ ΔT = Q/mc where m = mass of block = 17 g = 0.017 kg and c = specific heat capacity = 860 J/(kg °C)

ΔT = Q/mc = 30 × 10⁷ J/0.017 kg × 860 J/(kg °C)

     = 30 × 10⁷/14.62

     = 2.05 × 10⁷ °C

Every chemical element goes through natural exponential decay, which means that over time its atoms fall apart. The speed of eac
Naddik [55]

Answer:

t = (ti)ln(Ai/At)/ln(2)

t = 14ln(16)/ln(2)

Solving for t

t = 14×4 = 56 seconds

Explanation:

Let Ai represent the initial amount and At represent the final amount of beryllium-11 remaining after time t

At = Ai/2^n ..... 1

Where n is the number of half-life that have passed.

n = t/half-life

Half life = 14

n = t/14

At = Ai/2^(t/14)

From equation 1.

2^n = Ai/At

Taking the natural logarithm of both sides;

nln(2) = ln(Ai/At)

n = ln(Ai/At)/ln(2)

Since n = t/14

t/14 = ln(Ai/At)/ln(2)

t = 14ln(Ai/At)/ln(2)

Ai = 800

At = 50

t = 14ln(800/50)/ln(2)

t = 14ln(16)/ln(2)

Solving for t

t = 14×4 = 56 seconds

Let half life = ti

t = (ti)ln(Ai/At)/ln(2)

If T, = 40 N, find T, and the mass of the weight (W).
seraphim [82]

Answer:4kg

Explanation:

acceleration due to gravity(g)=10m/s^2

Weight(w)=40N

Weight=mass x g

40=mass x 10

Divide both sides by 10

Mass =40/10

Mass=4kg
