The final speed of the orange is 7.35 m/s

Explanation:

The motion of the orange is a free fall motion, since there is only the force of gravity acting on it. Therefore, it is a uniformly accelerated motion with constant acceleration $g=9.8 m/s^2$ towards the ground. So we can use the following suvat equation:

$v=u+at$

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

t is the time elapsed

For the orange in this problem, we have

u = 0 (it is dropped from rest)

$a=g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration

Substituting t = 0.75 s, we find the final velocity (and speed) of the orange:

$v=0+(9.8)(0.75)=7.35 m/s$

In a television set, electrons are accelerated from rest through a potential difference of 20 kV. The electrons then pass throug

Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer: Fmax = 5.54*10^-12 N

Explanation: From the question, we have the potential difference (V) =20kv = 20,000v and strength of magnetic field (B) =0.41 T.

The maximum force experienced by a charge of magnitude (q) is given as

Fmax = qvB

Where v = velocity of electron.

The velocity of the electron can be gotten by using the work energy theorem.

The kinetic energy of the electron (mv²/2) equals the work done needed to accelerate it.

mv²/2 = qV.

Where m = mass of an electronic charge = 9.11×10^-31 kg, q = magnitude of an electronic charge = 1.609×10^-19 c, v = velocity of electron, V = potential difference = 20,000v.

By substituting the parameters, we have that

(9.11×10^-31 × v²)/2 = 1.609×10^-19 × 20000

(9.11×10^-31 × v²) = 1.609×10^-19 × 20000 ×2

v² = (1.609×10^-19 × 20000 ×2)/9.11×10^-31

v² = 64.36*10^(-16)/9.11×10^-31

v² = 7.0647×10^15

v = √7.0647×10^15

v = 8.40×10^7 m/s

Fmax = 1.609×10^-19 × 8.40×10^7 × 0.41

Fmax = 5.54*10^-12 N

La masa de un camión es de

Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

45000 kg and 45 tons

Explanation:

The expression in kilograms and tons is shown below;

As we know that

1 gr is 0.001 kg

So, 45000000 = 45,000 kg

And,

1 kg = 0.001 tons

So, 45000 kg = 45 tons

Therefore the same would be considered

How do you find the net force acting on an object?

weqwewe [10]

Answer:

C. Add all the force vectors

Explanation:

The net force acting on an object is the vector sum of all the forces on the object.

Remember, Newton's first law tells us a body at rest will remain at rest or that in uniform motion will continue in motion unless acted by unbalanced forces.These unbalanced forces act in all direction towards the body thus to get the net force you require a summation of all these force with respect to their magnitudes and directions.

For example a force of 3N towards the East direction acting on a body and another force of 2N towards the West direction on the same body will generate a net force of 1N towards the East direction.

The Hubble Space Telescope (HST) orbits 569 km above Earth’s surface. Given that Earth’s mass is 5.97 × 1024 kg and its radius i

Sergio039 [100]

<span>We can use an equation to find the gravitational force exerted on the HST. F = GMm / r^2 G is the gravitational constant M is the mass of the Earth m is the mass of the HST r is the distance to the center of the Earth This force F provides the centripetal force for the HST to move in a circle. The equation we use for circular motion is: F = mv^2 / r m is the mass of the HST v is the tangential speed r is the distance to the center of the Earth Now we can equate these two equations to find v. mv^2 / r = GMm / r^2 v^2 = GM / r v = sqrt{GM / r } v = sqrt{(6.67 x 10^{-11})(5.97 x 10^{24}) / 6,949,000 m} v = 7570 m/s which is equal to 7.570 km/s HST's tangential speed is 7570 m/s or 7.570 km/s</span>
