As you read this in your chair, how fast are you moving relative to the chair? relative to the sun?

1 answer:

5 0

To answer this question, you need to know the definition of Relative Motion:
The motion is relative when it depends on a reference point or referencial system. If you know the reference point, you can determine the velocity of an object.
If you are sitting on your chair, you are not moving relative to it (Your speed is 0 km/s); but as you know, our planet moves around the Sun (Traslation Movement) with a speed of 30.0 km/s. Therefore, you are moving 30.0 km/s relative to the sun.

A mass spectrometer was used in the discovery of the electron. In the velocity selector, the electric and magnetic fields are se

Mama L [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Radius of dee, r = 8 mm = 0.008 m

Electric field, e = 400 V/m

Magnetic field, B = 4.7 x 10^-4 T

mass of electron, m = 9.1 x 10^-31 kg

charge of electron, q = 1.6 x 10^-19 C

(a) Let v is the speed of electrons.

$v = \frac{Bqr}{m}$

$v = \frac{4.7\times 10^{-4}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 0.008}{9.1 \times 10^{-31}}$

v = 661098.9 = 661099 m/s

(b)

$\frac{e}{m}=\frac{1.6 \times 10^{-19}}{9.1\times 10^{-31}}$

e / m = 1.76 x 10^14 C / kg

K = 0.5 x mv²

K = 0.5 x 9.1 x 10^-31 x 661099 x 661099

K = 1.99 x 10^-19 J

K = 1.24 eV

So, the potential difference is

V = 1.24 V

(d) if the acceleration voltage is doubled

V = 2 x 1.24 = 2.48 V

So, Kinetic energy

K = 2.48 eV

K = 2.48 x 1.6 x 10^-19 = 3.968 x 10^-19 J

Let v is the speed

K = 0.5 x mv²

3.968 x 10^-19 = 0.5 x 9.1 x 10^-31 x v²

v = 933856.5 m/s

Let the new radius is r.

$r=\frac{mv}{Bq}$

$r=\frac{9.1\times 10^{-31}\times 933856.5}{4.7\times 10^{-4}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}$

r = 0.0113 m = 1.13 cm

a car accelerates from rest at 3.6m/s^2. how much time does it need to attain a speed of 7 m/s? awnser in units of s.

Ivahew [28]

Initial velocity: 0
final velocity: 7 m/s
a = 3.6
t = ?
x = ?

(7-0)/3.6 = t
t = 1.94 s

4. Una cuerda de acero de piano mide 1.60 m de longitud y 0.20 cm de diámetro. ¿Cuál es la tensión en la cuerda si se estira 0.2

bazaltina [42]

Answer:

$1030.83\ \text{N}$

Explanation:

$\Delta L$ = Cambio en la longitud de la cuerda = 0.25 cm

T = tensión en cuerda

A = Área de la cadena = $\dfrac{\pi}{4}d^2$

d = Diámetro de la cuerda = 0.2 cm

L = Longitud original de la cuerda = 1.6 m

El cambio de longitud de una cuerda viene dado por

$\Delta L=\dfrac{TL}{AE}\\\Rightarrow T=\dfrac{\Delta LAE}{L}\\\Rightarrow T=\dfrac{0.25\times 10^{-2}\times \dfrac{\pi}{4}(0.2\times 10^{-2})^2\times 210\times 10^9}{1.6}\\\Rightarrow T=1030.84\ \text{N}$

La tensión en la cuerda es $1030.84\ \text{N}$ .

Jason applies a force of 4.00 newtons to a sled at an angle 62.0 degrees from the ground. What is the component of force effecti

kaheart [24]

You want to draw a free body diagram of the forces on the sled in the horizontal x-direction.

If you visualize the system in an x-y coordinate plane, the force along the x-direction is the angle it makes with the x-axis multiples by the force.

The angle made with the x-axis is cosine of the angle theta.

Please see picture attached.

What should you do if someone on foot approaches your car while you are in it?

tatyana61 [14]

It depends. If you are driving and the person doesn't look like a serial killer, you should stop.
