I don't like the wording of any of the choices on the list.

SONAR generates a short pulse of sound, like a 'peep' or a 'ping',
focused in one direction.  If there's a solid object in that direction,
then some of the sound that hits it gets reflected back, toward the
source.  The source listens to hear if any of the sound that it sent
out returns to it.  If it hears its own 'ping' come back, it measures
the time it took for the sound to go out and come back.  That tells
the SONAR equipment that there IS a solid object in that direction,
and also HOW FAR away it is.

RADAR works exactly the same way, except RADAR uses radio waves.

A hot air balloon lifts 50 meters vertically into the air and then comes back down. What are the displacement and distance of th
Marysya12 [62]

Given that a hot air balloon lifts 50 meters vertically into the air and then comes back down.

The displacement is the distance covered in a specific direction.

When the balloon is going up, the displacement is positive. and when the balloon is coming down, the displacement is negative.

The total displacement = 50 - 50 = 0

The distance is a measurement of length between to different points or position.

For distance, there is no need to consider direction. There is no consideration for positive or negative signs

While the distance = 50 + 50 = 100 meters

Therefore, the correct answer is C

That is, The displacement is zero and the distance is 100 meters

Suppose the electric field in problems 2 was caused by a point charge. The test charge is moved to a distance twice as far from
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

it is reduced four times.

Explanation:

By definition, the electric field is the force per unit charge created by a charge distribution.

If the charge creating the field is a point charge, the force exerted by it on a test charge, must obey Coulomb´s Law, so, it must be inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the charges.

So, if the distance increases twice, as the force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance, and the square of 2 is 4, this means that the magnitude of the force exerted on the test charge must be 4 times smaller.

Arigid body must rotate about an axis in order for it to have angular momentum about that axis. True False
kompoz [17]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Let's consider the definition of the angular momentum,

\vec{L} = I \vec{\omega}

where I = \int\limits_m r^2 dm = \lim_{n \to \infty} \sum\limits_{i=1}^n m_i r_i^2 is the moment of inertia for a rigid body. Now, this moment of inertia could change if we change the axis of rotation, because "r" is defined as the distance between the puntual mass and the nearest point on the axis of rotation, but still it's going to have some value. On the other hand,

\vec{\omega} = \frac{\vec{r} \times \vec{v}}{r^2} so \vec{\omega} \neq 0 unless \vec{r} ║  \vec{v}.

In conclusion, a rigid body could rotate about certain axis, generating an angular momentum, but if you choose another axis, there could be some parts of the rigid body rotating around the new axis, especially if there is a projection of the old axis in the new one.

Calculate the speed of a proton after it accelerates from rest through a potential difference of 350 V.
AVprozaik [17]

The speed of a proton after it accelerates from rest through a potential difference of 350 V is 25.86 \times 10^4 ~m/s.

Initial velocity of the proton u = 0

Given potential difference \Delta V = 350V

let's assume that the speed of the proton is v,

Since the proton is accelerating through a potential difference, proton's potential energy will change with time. The potential energy of a particle of charge q when accelerated with a potential difference \Delta V is,

    U = q \Delta V

Due to Work-Energy Theorem and Conservation of Energy - <em>If there is no non-conservative force acting on a particle then loss in Potential energy  P.E must be equal to gain in Kinetic Energy K.E</em> i.e

\Delta K = \Delta V

If the initial and final velocity of the proton is u and v respectively then,

change in Kinetic Energy  \implies  \Delta K = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 -\frac{1}{2}mu^2 = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 - 0

change in Potential Energy \implies \Delta U = q\Delta V

from conservation of energy,

             v= \sqrt{\frac{2q\Delta V}{m}}

so,         v = \sqrt{\frac{2\times 350 \times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}{1.67 \times 10^{-27}}

                = 25.86 \times 10^4 ~m/s
