Answer:
-1.03 m/s²
Explanation:
Acceleration: This can be defined as the rate of change of velocity. The S. I unit of acceleration is m/s².
Mathematically, acceleration is expressed as
a = (v-u)/t ........................ Equation 1
Where a = acceleration, v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, t = time.
Given: u = 13.60 m/s, v = 7.20 m/s t = 6.2 s.
Substituting into equation 2
a = (7.20-13.60)/6.2
a = -6.4/6.2
a = -1.03 m/s²
Note: a is negative because, the hockey puck is decelerating.
Hence the average acceleration = -1.03 m/s²
According to Coulomb's Law , The size of the force varies inversely as the square of the distance between the two charges. So ,if the distance between the two charges is doubled, the electrostatic force will become weak by one fourth of the original force.
To answer the problem we would be using this formula which isE = hc/L where E is the energy, h is Planck's constant, c is the speed of light and L is the wavelength
L = hc/E = 4.136×10−15 eV·s (2.998x10^8 m/s)/10^4 eV
= 1.240x10^-10 m
= 1.240x10^-1 nm
Divide by 3.6
82/3.6 = 22.8 m/s
