The statement “When an object is in orbit, it is falling at the same rate at which the Earth is curving” is true. The speed of a satellite orbiting the earth depends only on the mass of the earth and the mass of the satellite.

Neutrons incident on a heavy nucleus with spin J 0 show a resonance at an incident energy ER = 250 eV in the total cross-section
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

elastic partial width is 2.49 eV

Explanation:

given data

ER  E = 250 eV

spin J = 0

cross-section magnitude σ = 1300 barns

peak P = 20ev

to find out

elastic partial width W

solution

we know here that

σ = λ²× W /  ( E × π × P )     ...................1

put here all value

σ = (0.286)² × W  × 10^{-16}/  ( 250 × π × 20 )

1300 × 10^{-24} = (0.286)² × W  × 10^{-16}/  ( 250 × π × 20 )

solve it and we get W

W = 249.56 × 10^{-2}

so elastic partial width is 2.49 eV

In a new scenario, the block only makes it (exactly) half-way through the rough spot. How far was the spring compressed from its
Mila [183]

Answer: hello  below is the missing part of your question

A mass m = 10 kg rests on a frictionless table and accelerated by a spring with spring constant k = 5029 N/m. The floor is frictionless except for a rough patch. For this rough path, the coefficient of friction is μk = 0.49. The mass leaves the spring at a speed v = 3.4 m/s.

answer

x = 0.0962 m

Explanation:

<em>First step :</em>

Determine the length of the rough patch/spot

F = Uₓ (mg)

and  w = F.d = Uₓ (mg)  * d

hence;

d( length of rough patch) = w / Uₓ (mg) = 46.55 / (0.49 * 10 * 9.8) = 0.9694 m

<em>next : </em>

work done on unstretched spring length

Given that block travels halfway i.e. d = 0.9694 / 2 = 0.4847 m

w' = Uₓ (mg)  * d

    = 0.49 * 10 * 9.81 * 0.4847 = 23.27 J

also given that the Elastic energy of spring = work done ( w')

1/2 * kx^2 = 23.27 J

x = \sqrt{\frac{2*23.27}{5029} }  = 0.0962 m

For an answer to be completed the units need to be specified why?
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

so you know the units in the problem and answer are the same, if they aren't you have to convert them to the same units.
