Two objects, A and B, are in contact with one another. Initially, the temperature of A is 50 °C and the temperature of B is 100

V125BC [204]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

because kinetic energy is directly proportional to temperature so the hottor the object, the more kinetic energy.

Can a body have zero velocity and finite acceleration?Explain

sergejj [24]

Answer:

Kinda? Depends what the question is fully asking

Explanation:

Acceleration is a change in velocity. So I guess if the velocity of something is -2 m/s and its positively accelerating at a value of +1 m/s, then that means every second its velocity changes by +1m/s.

So that -2 m/s thing after one second will be going -1 m/s.

After another second it'll be going 0 m/s.

After another itll be going +1 m/s and so on.

So at one point for a brief moment, it can have an acceleration but be at 0 m/s velocity.

If the electron just misses the upper plate as it emerges from the field, find the magnitude of the electric field.

Damm [24]

Answer:

The magnitude of the electric field be 171.76 N/C so that the electron misses the plate.

Explanation:

As data is incomplete here, so by seeing the complete question from the search the data is

vx_0=1.1 x 10^6

ax=0 As acceleration is zero in the horizontal axis so

Equation of motion in horizontal direction is given as

$s_x=v_x_0 t$

$t=\frac{s_x}{v_x}\\t=\frac{2 \times 10^{-2}}{1.1 \times 6}\\t=1.82 \times 10^{-8} s$

Now for the vertical distance

vy_o=0

than the equation of motion becomes

$s_y=v_y_0 t+\frac{1}{2} at^2\\s_y=\frac{1}{2} at^2\\0.5 \times 10^{-2}=\frac{1}{2} a(1.82 \times 10^{-8})^2\\a=3.02 \times 10^{13} m/s^2$

Now using this acceleration the value of electric field is calculated as

$E=\frac{F}{q}\\E=\frac{ma}{q}\\E=\frac{m_ea}{q_e}\\$

Here a is calculated above, m is the mass of electron while q is the charge of electron, substituting values in the equation

$E=\frac{9.1\times 10^{-31} \times 3.02 \times 10^{13} }{1.6 \times 10^{-19}}\\E=171.76 N/C$

So the magnitude of the electric field be 171.76 N/C so that the electron misses the plate.
