A speed boat travels from the dock to the first buoy a distance of 20 meters in 18 seconds it began the trip at a speed of 0 m/s

by the time it reached the buoy it had reached 10 m/s what is the average velocity of the boat

Answer:

1.11 m/s

Explanation:

The motion of the boat is an example of accelerated motion, since the velocity is not constant. However, we don't need to find the acceleration, because we are only interested in the average velocity of the boat, which is given by:

$v=\frac{d}{t}$

where d is the total distance covered and t the time taken. In this problem, the boat covered a distance of d = 20 m and it takes t = 18 s, therefore the average velocity is

$v=\frac{20 m}{18 s}=1.11 m/s$

A 3.00-kg ball swings rapidly in a complete vertical circle of radius 2.00 m by a light string that is fixed at one end. The bal

Answer:

The gravity does a work of - 117.6 Joules.

The tension does not do work as the force is perpendicular to the direction of motion at any point in the trajectory.

Explanation:

The work done by the gravity simply is the difference in gravitational potential energy multiplied by -1:

$W_g = - \Delta E_p = - (mgh_f - m g h_i)$

where m is the mass of the ball, g is the acceleration due to gravity, $h_f$ is the final height and $h_i$ is the initial height.

So, if the radius is 2.00 m, then the difference of height will be 4 meters:

$W_g = - mg (h_f - h_i)$

$W_g = - 3.00 \ kg \ 9.8 \frac{m}{s^2} \ 4 \m$

$W_g = - 117.6 Joules$

As the tension is perpendicular to the velocity of the ball, the force is always perpendicular to the direction of motion. So, the differential of work will be:

$dW = \vec{F} d\vec{r} = 0$

An electron and a proton are held on an x axis, with the electron at x = + 1.000 m and the proton at x = - 1.000 m. Part A How m

PART A)

Electrostatic potential at the position of origin is given by

$V = \frac{kq_1}{r_1} + \frac{kq_2}{r_2}$

here we have

$q_1 = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} C$

$q_2 = -1.6 \times 10^{-19} C$

$r_1 = r_2 = 1 m$

now we have

$V = \frac{Ke}{r} - \frac{Ke}{r}$

$V = 0$

Now work done to move another charge from infinite to origin is given by

$W = q(V_f - V_i)$

here we will have

$W = e(0 - 0) = 0$

so there is no work required to move an electron from infinite to origin

PART B)

Initial potential energy of electron

$U = \frac{Kq_1e}{r_1} + \frac{kq_2e}{r_2}$

$U = \frac{9\times 10^9(-1.6\times 10^{-19}(-1.6 \times 10^{-19})}{19} + \frac{9\times 10^9(1.6\times 10^{-19}(-1.6 \times 10^{-19})}{21}$

$U = (2.3\times 10^{-28})(\frac{1}{19} - \frac{1}{21})$

$U = 1.15\times 10^{-30}$

Now we know

$KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

$KE = \frac{1}{2}(9.1\times 10^{-31}(100)^2$

$KE = 4.55 \times 10^{-27} kg$

now by energy conservation we will have

So here initial total energy is sufficient high to reach the origin

PART C)

It will reach the origin
