Explanation:

In the given situation two forces are working. These are:

1) Electric force (acting in the downward direction) = qE

2) weight (acting in the downward direction) = mg

Therefore, work done by all the forces = change in kinetic energy

Hence, qE \times S + mg \times S = 0.5 \times mv^{2}

     1.6 \times 10^{-19} \times 1000 + 9.1 \times 10^{-31} \times 9.8 \times (\frac{0.10}{100}) = 0.5 \times 9.1 \times 10^{-31} \times v^{2}

It is known that the weight of electron is far less compared to electric force. Therefore, we can neglect the weight  and the above equation will be as follows.

   (1.6 \times 10^{-19} \times 1000) \times (\frac{0.10}{100}) = 0.5 \times 9.1 \times 10^{-31} \times v^{2
}

         v = sqrt{\frac{1.6 \times 10^{-19}}{(0.5 \times 9.1 \times 10^{-31})}

           = 592999 m/s

Since, the electron is travelling downwards it means that it looses the potential energy.

-What can you say about the snowboarder’s kinetic energy as he moves?
Damm [24]

Answer:

  His kinetic energy increases, potential energy decreases

  The sum of kinetic and potential energy is a constant at any instant before he comes to rest.

Explanation:

  Snowboarder is starting from a height and moving to the down direction. As he moves down his velocity increases, we know that kinetic energy is given by the expression \frac{1}{2} mv^2, so as he moves his kinetic energy increases.

  When the snowboarder is starting his potential energy is maximum(Potential energy = mgh), as he comes down his potential energy decreases.

  Based on this we can conclude that the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy is a constant at any instant for a snowboarder before he comes to rest.

                             mgh+\frac{1}{2} mv^2= Constant

How are balanced & unbalanced forces related to net force?
Levart [38]

Answer:

An unbalanced force (net force) acting on an object changes its speed and/or direction of motion. ... A net force = unbalanced force. If however, the forces are balanced (in equilibrium) and there is no net force, the object will not accelerate and the velocity will remain constant.

Four objects are situated along the y axis as follows: a 1.99-kg object is at 2.99 m, a 2.96-kg object is at 2.57 m, a 2.43-kg o
Dominik [7]

Answer:

The center of mass for the object is  y_c = 1.063 \  m from the origin

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The mass of the first object is  m_1 =  1.99 \  kg

   The position of first object with respect to origin y_1 =  2.99 \ m

   The mass of the second object is  m_2 =  2.96 \  kg

   The position of second object with respect to origin y_2 =  2.57 \ m

   The mass of the third object is  m_3 =  2.43  \  kg

   The position of third object with respect to origin y_3 =  0 \ m

   The mass of the fourth object is  m_3 =  3.96  \  kg

   The position of fourth object with respect to origin y_3 =  -0.502  \ m

Generally the center of mass of the object along the x-axis is  zero  because all the mass lie on the y axis

Generally the location of the center mass of the object is mathematically represented as

    y_c = \frac{m_1 * y_1 + m_2 * y_2 + m_3 * y_3 + m_4 * y_4}{m_1 + m_2 + m_3 + m_4}

=>y_c = \frac{1.99 * 2.99 + 2.96 * 2.57 + 2.43 * 0 + 3.96 * (-0.502)}{1.99+ 2.96  + 2.43 + 3.96}

=>y_c = 1.063 \  m
