Liz rushes down onto a subway platform to find her train already departing. she stops and watches the cars go by. each car is 8.

60 m long. the first moves past her in 1.80 s and the second in 1.66 s. find the constant acceleration of the train.

The average velocity can be calculated using the formula:

v = d / t

For the 1st car, the velocity is calculated as:

v1 = 8.60 m / 1.80 s = 4.78 m / s

While that of the 2nd car is:

v2 = 8.60 m / 1.66 s = 5.18 m / s

 

Now we can solve for the acceleration using the formula:

v2^2 = v1^2 + 2 a d

Rewriting in terms of a:

a = (v2^2 – v1^2) / 2 d

a = (5.18^2 – 4.78^2) / (2 * 8.6)

a = 0.23 m/s

 

Therefore the train has a constant acceleration of about 0.23 meters per second.

A net force of 16 N causes a mass to accelerate at a rate of 5 m/s^2. Determine the mass.
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

So mass of the object will be 3.2 kg

Explanation:

We have net force on the object F = 16 N

Acceleration of the object a=5m/sec^2

We have top find the mass of the object

From newton law of motion we know that force is given by

F = ma , here m is mass and a is acceleration

So 16=5\times m

m=3.2kg

So mass of the object will be 3.2 kg

Two particles with oppositely signed charges nC are placed at two of the vertices of an equilateral triangle with side length 3
babymother [125]

The magnitude of the electric field at the third vertex of the triangle is determined as zero.

<h3>Electric field at the third vertex of the triangle </h3>

The electric field at the third vertex of the equilateral triangle due to the other charges placed on the first and second vertices is calculated as follows;

E = E(13) + E(23)

E = (kq₁)/r² + (kq₂)/r²

where;

  • q1 is positive charge
  • q2 is negative charge

E =  (kq₁)/r² - (kq₂)/r²

E = 0

Thus, the magnitude of the electric field at the third vertex of the triangle is determined as zero.

The lons entering the mass spectrometer have the same charges. After being accelerated through a potential difference of 8.20 kV
Ratling [72]

The calculated magnitude is  6.73 x 10³ V/m.

AMU is described as being one-twelfth the mass of a carbon-12 atom (12C). C makes up more than 98% of the carbon that can be found in nature, making it the most prevalent isotope. The magnitude of the field is the change in potential across a small distance in the indicated direction divided by that distance.

Potential difference = 8.20 kV= 8.20 x 10³ V

radius= 19.4/100=0.194 m

total distance that is circumference of the circle= 2πr =2 x 3.14 x 0.194

                                                                               = 1.218 m

therefore Magnitude= 8.20 x 10³ / 1.218

                                  =6.73 x 10³ V/m
