Answer:

If there are no forces acting upon the object, then there is no acceleration. If there is no acceleration, then the object will move with a constant velocity.

If an object is not accelerating, then zero net forces act on the object.

Explanation:

As per Newton's second laws of motion, an object exhibiting acceleration is directly proportionate to the net forces act on the objects and inversely proportionate to the object's mass.

But object's mass cannot be zero, so if the acceleration is zero for an object, the total forces act on that object will be zero. And for zero net force to occur, two equal but opposite forces are enough to nullify the net force. Thus if an object does not accelerate, then zero net force acts on the object.

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

In an "atom smasher," two particles collide head on at relativistic speeds. If the velocity of the first particle is 0.741c to t

galina1969 [7]

Answer:

$W_x = 0.9156\ c$

Explanation:

given,

velocity of particle 1 = 0.741 c to left

velocity of second particle = 0.543 c to right

relative velocity between the particle = ?

for the relative velocity calculation we have formula

$W_x = \dfrac{|u_x - v_x|}{1-\dfrac{u_xv_x}{c^2}}$

u_x = 0.543 c

v_x = - 0.741 c

$W_x = \dfrac{0.543 c - (-0.741 c)}{1-\dfrac{(0.543 c)(-0.741 c)}{c^2}}$

$W_x = \dfrac{0.543 c +0.741 c)}{1+\dfrac{(0.543)(0.741)c^2}{c^2}}$

$W_x = \dfrac{1.284c}{1+0.402363}$

$W_x = 0.9156\ c$

Relative velocity of the particle is $W_x = 0.9156\ c$

slavikrds [6]

Answer:

2.73414 seconds

467622.66798 J

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s² = a

$v=60\times \dfrac{1609.34}{3600}=26.822\ m/s$

$mgh=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\Rightarrow h=\dfrac{v^2}{2g}\\\Rightarrow h=\dfrac{26.822^2}{2\times 9.81}\\\Rightarrow h=36.66766\ m$

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow 36.66766=0t+\frac{1}{2}\times 9.81\times t^2\\\Rightarrow t=\sqrt{\frac{36.66766\times 2}{9.81}}\\\Rightarrow t=2.73414\ s$

$v=u+at\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{v-u}{a}\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{26.822-0}{9.81}\\\Rightarrow t=2.73414\ s$

The time taken is 2.73414 seconds

The potential energy is given by

$U=mgh\\\Rightarrow U=1300\times 9.81\times 36.66766\\\Rightarrow U=467622.66798\ J$

The change in potential energy is 467622.66798 J

What parts to all cells have in common?

natima [27]

1. Plasma membrane - also known as cell membrane. It is 'the skin of a cell', which acts as a physically controlling barrier for the entrance and exit of materials. It's made up of proteins and lipids.
2. Cytoplasm - everything inside the cell (but not including the nucleus). Much of the cytoplasm is a transparent and gel-like material known as cytosol; cell structures are suspended in it.
3. Ribosomes - these are organelles that are in charge of making proteins.
4. DNA - Molecules containing the genetic code of a cell, which tells the cell what to do. It is located in the nucleus for eukaryotic cells; for prokaryotic cells, it is located in a part of the cell called the nucleoid.
