The mass of the Earth is 5.98 × 1024 kg . A 11 kg bowling ball initially at rest is dropped from a height of 2.63 m. The acceler

ation of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . What is the speed of the Earth coming up to meet the ball just before the ball hits the ground? Answer in units of m/s.

Answer:

v = 7.18_m/s

Explanation:

Velocity of the earth towards the ball is = velocity of the ball moving towards earth

For object in free fall, we have

Where

v = final velocity

u = initial velocity

g = acceleration due to gravity

t = time

S = height of ball above ground

v^2 = u^2 - 2×g×(-S)

= 0 + 2×9.8×2.63 = 51.55_m^2/s^2

Velocity of the ball just before it hits the ground is

v = 7.18_m/s

A proton, an alpha particle (a bare helium nucleus), and a singly ionized helium atom are accelerated through a potential differ

ra1l [238]

Answer:

The correct question is:

"Find the energy each gains"

The energy gained by a charged particle accelerated through a potential difference is given by

$\Delta U = q\Delta V$

where

q is the charge of the particle

$\Delta V$ is the potential difference

For a proton,

$q=+e=1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C$

And since $\Delta V=100 V$

The energy gained by the proton is

$\Delta U=(1.6\cdot 10^{-19})(100)=1.6\cdot 10^{-17}J$

For an alpha particle,

$q=+2e=3.2\cdot 10^{-19}C$

Therefore, the energy gained is

$\Delta U=(3.2\cdot 10^{-19})(100)=3.2\cdot 10^{-17}J$

Finally, for a singly ionized helium nucleus (a helium nucleus that has lost one electron)

$q=+e=1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C$

So the energy gained is the same as the proton:

$\Delta U=(1.6\cdot 10^{-19})(100)=1.6\cdot 10^{-17}J$

Label these parts on the wave below: Amplitude, Wavelength, Crest, Trough, Rest Position

Leviafan [203]

Answer:

Wavelength is the distance between from one crest to another crest or from one trough to another trough. The amplitude is the distance from the midpoint to the crest or trough. Crest is the highest point of the or a wave. Tough is the lowest point of the or a wave. Rest position is the position where it lies on the midpoint line.

Explanation:

I need a diagram to label these parts.

Calculate the electric field at the center of a square

pantera1 [17]

Answer:

$E_y=1175510.2\ N.C^{-1}$

The Magnitude of electric field is in the upward direction as shown directly towards the charge $q_1$ .

Explanation:

Given:

side of a square, $a=52.5\ cm$

charge on one corner of the square, $q_1=+45\times 10^{-6}\ C$

charge on the remaining 3 corners of the square, $q_2=q_3=q_4=-27\times 10^{-6}\ C$

<u>Distance of the center from each corners</u> $=\frac{1}{2} \times diagonals$

$diagonal=\sqrt{52.5^2+52.5^2}$

$diagonal=74.25\cm=0.7425\ m$

∴Distance of center from corners, $b=0.3712\ m$

Now, electric field due to charges is given as:

$E=\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\times \frac{q}{b^2}$

<u>For charge $q_1$ we have the field lines emerging out of the charge since it is positively charged:</u>

$E_1=9\times 10^9\times \frac{45\times 10^{-6}}{0.3712^2}$

$E_1=2938775.5\ N.C^{-1}$

<u>Force by each of the charges at the remaining corners:</u>

$E_2=E_3=E_4=9\times 10^9\times \frac{27\times 10^{-6}}{0.3712^2}$

$E_2=E_3=E_4=1763265.3\ N.C^{-1}$

<u> Now, net electric field in the vertical direction:</u>

$E_y=E_1-E_4$

$E_y=1175510.2\ N.C^{-1}$

<u>Now, net electric field in the horizontal direction:</u>

$E_y=E_2-E_3$

$E_y=0\ N.C^{-1}$

So the Magnitude of electric field is in the upward direction as shown directly towards the charge $q_1$ .
