Answer:

Explanation:

When a projectile is launched at some angle to the horizontal with some speed vi , and air resistance is negligible , it is definitely a freely falling body .

It is so because it is free to accelerate towards the earth with acceleration of g . Air has no resistance , hence no force is acting on it except the gravitational force . Hence it is a freely falling body .

b )

The acceleration in the vertical direction is due to force exerted by the earth that is gravitational force on it  . Hence its  acceleration is equal to g in vertically downward direction .

c )

It has zero acceleration in horizontal direction . It is so because no force is acting on it in horizontal direction . So no acceleration will be present in horizontal direction . It will move in horizontal direction with constant speed of vi cos θ where θ is the angle vi make with the horizontal .

Which statement best define percent error? check all that apply.
Art [367]

Percent error is the difference between the experimental value and theoretical value and measures the accuracy of the result found. The larger the error, lesser is the accuracy and vice versa.

Solution:

It is a mathematical way of showing accuracy

The higher the percent error, the less accurate the data set,

Consider an electron with charge −e and mass m orbiting in a circle around a hydrogen nucleus (a single proton) with charge +e.
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

v=\sqrt{k\frac{e^2}{m_e r}}, 2.18\cdot 10^6 m/s

Explanation:

The magnitude of the electromagnetic force between the electron and the proton in the nucleus is equal to the centripetal force:

k\frac{(e)(e)}{r^2}=m_e \frac{v^2}{r}

where

k is the Coulomb constant

e is the magnitude of the charge of the electron

e is the magnitude of the charge of the proton in the nucleus

r is the distance between the electron and the nucleus

v is the speed of the electron

m_e is the mass of the electron

Solving for v, we find

v=\sqrt{k\frac{e^2}{m_e r}}

Inside an atom of hydrogen, the distance between the electron and the nucleus is approximately

r=5.3\cdot 10^{-11}m

while the electron mass is

m_e = 9.11\cdot 10^{-31}kg

and the charge is

e=1.6\cdot 10^{-19} C

Substituting into the formula, we find

v=\sqrt{(9\cdot 10^9 m/s) \frac{(1.6\cdot 10^{-19} C)^2}{(9.11\cdot 10^{-31} kg)(5.3\cdot 10^{-11} m)}}=2.18\cdot 10^6 m/s

Two spaceships that have different masses but rocket engines of identical force are at rest in space. if they fire their rockets
NISA [10]
Force is calculated F=m×a.
If both ships speed up with the same force, but have a different mass, This means that a also has to be different. If F is the same but ship a has a bigger mass(m) than ship b, then the acceleration(a) of ship b has to be bigger so F of each ship is the same. So the ship with the smaller mass will speed up faster.

A car move at an initial velocity of 240m and reach at the final velocity of 540m in 8hours. calculate its acceleration.​
disa [49]

Answer:

a = 0.01m/s²

Explanation:

V_f = V_0+a*t

V_f = Velocity final

V_0 = Velocity initial

a = acceleration

t = time

a = (V_f-V_0)/t

a = (540m/s-240m/s)/((8hr)*(60min/1hr)*(60s/1min))

a = 0.01m/s²

An eagle is flying horizontally 16.4 meters above a lake at a speed of 9.3 m/s, carrying a small pumpkin in its talons. The pump
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

The horizontal distance the pumpkin will travel after it slips from the eagle is 17.02 m

Explanation:

Given;

height above the ground, h = 16.4 m

speed of the eagle, v = 9.3 m/s

The time it will take the pumpkin to fall at the given height is calculated as;

t = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g} }\\\\t =  \sqrt{\frac{2*16.4}{9.8} }\\\\t = 1.83 \ s

The horizontal distance traveled at this time is given by;

x = vt

x = (9.3)(1.83)

x = 17.02 m

Therefore, the horizontal distance the pumpkin will travel after it slips from the eagle is 17.02 m
