A certain moving electron has a kinetic energy of 0.991 × 10−19 J. Calculate the speed necessary for the electron to have this e
alisha [4.7K]

Answer: The speed necessary for the electron to have this energy is 466462 m/s

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is the energy posessed by an object by virtue of its motion.

K.E=\frac{1mv^2}{2}

K.E= kinetic energy = 0.991\times 10^{-19}J

m= mass of an electron = 9.109\times 10^{-31}kg

v= velocity of object = ?

Putting in the values in the equation:

0.991\times 10^{-19}J=\frac{1\times 9.109\times 10^{-31}kg\times v^2}{2}

v=466462m/s

The speed necessary for the electron to have this energy is 466462 m/s

An object islaunched at velocity of 20 m/s in a direction making an angle of 25 degree upward with the horizontal. what is the m
Aneli [31]

Answer:

\displaystyle y_m=3.65m

Explanation:

<u>Motion in The Plane</u>

When an object is launched in free air with some angle respect to the horizontal, it describes a known parabolic path, comes to a maximum height and finally drops back to the ground level at a certain distance from the launching place.

The movement is split into two components: the horizontal component with constant speed and the vertical component with variable speed, modified by the acceleration of gravity. If we are given the values of v_o and \theta\\ as the initial speed and angle, then we have

\displaystyle v_x=v_o\ cos\theta

\displaystyle v_y=v_o\ sin\theta-gt

\displaystyle x=v_o\ cos\theta\ t

\displaystyle y=v_o\ sin\theta\ t -\frac{gt^2}{2}

If we want to know the maximum height reached by the object, we find the value of t when v_y becomes zero, because the object stops going up and starts going down

\displaystyle v_y=o\Rightarrow v_o\ sin\theta =gt

Solving for t

\displaystyle t=\frac{v_o\ sin\theta }{g}

Then we replace that value into y, to find the maximum height

\displaystyle y_m=v_o\ sin\theta \ \frac{v_o\ sin\theta }{g}-\frac{g}{2}\left (\frac{v_o\ sin\theta }{g}\right )^2

Operating and simplifying

\displaystyle y_m=\frac{v_o^2\ sin^2\theta }{2g}

We have

\displaystyle v_o=20\ m/s,\ \theta=25^o

The maximum height is

\displaystyle y_m=\frac{(20)^2(sin25^o)^2}{2(9.8)}=\frac{71.44}{19.6}

\displaystyle y_m=3.65m

Before the big bang, the universe was much ____ and _____ than it is now.
Dahasolnce [82]
The answer to the question is that before the big bang, the universe was much hotter and more dense than it is now. Letter B.
It is because after the big bag occurred, the universe became cooler and less dense.
a. - does not correspond in the answer because the universe became less dense after the big bang.
c - the universe became cool and less dense after the big bang so being cool and less dense does not correspond to the question.
d - cooler does not answer the question because it only became cooler after the big bang.

Explain how neurons convey information using both electrical and chemical signals.
8090 [49]

Answer:

Explanation:

Neurons communicate via both electrical signals and chemical signals. The electrical signals are action potentials, which transmit the information from one of a neuron to the other; the chemical signals are neurotransmitters, which transmit the information from one neuron to the next.

The electrical signal travels down the axon to the axon terminals where it tells the vesicles to release the neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft which travel to the receptors of the receiving cell which releases the second messengers

True or False: The height from which cliff divers jump affects the velocity at which they will fall. Velocity is speed in a cert
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

the diver's speed is independent of the launch height.

Explanation:

For this exercise we must use Newton's second law

              fr - W = m a

the friction force has the general form

              fr = b v

Let's analyze this equation to find out what happens with the speed of the distant club.

When jumping, the initial speed is zero, so the friction force is zero and has an acceleration equal to the acceleration of gravity, as the speed increases the friction force increases decreasing the acceleration until it becomes zero, when it arrives at this value the velocity it has is called terminal velocity and this velocity remains fixed in relation to the trajectory.

             fr = W

             v = cte

The distance or time in which this equilibrium is reached is relatively fast, so the diver's speed is independent of the launch height.
