What can iron filings sprinkled on a piece of paper demonstrate?

An electron enters a region with a speed of 5×10^6m/s and is slowed down at the rate of 1.25×10^-4m/s². How far does the electro

Mashutka [201]

1) The distance travelled by the electron is $1\cdot 10^{17} m$

2) The time taken is $4.0\cdot 10^{10}s$

Explanation:

1)

The electron in this problem is moving by uniformly accelerated motion (constant acceleration), so we can use the following suvat equation

$v^2-u^2=2as$

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

s is the distance travelled

For the electron in this problem,

$u=5\cdot 10^6 m/s$ is the initial velocity

v = 0 is the final velocity (it comes to a stop)

$a=-1.25\cdot 10^{-4} m/s^2$ is the acceleration

Solving for s, we find the distance travelled:

$s=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2a}=\frac{0-(5\cdot 10^6)^2}{2(-1.25\cdot 10^{-4})}=1\cdot 10^{17} m$

2)

The total time taken for the electron in its motion can also be found by using another suvat equation:

$v=u+at$

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

t is the time taken

Here we have

$u=5\cdot 10^6 m/s$

v = 0

$a=-1.25\cdot 10^{-4} m/s^2$

And solving for t, we find the time taken:

$t=\frac{v-u}{a}=\frac{0-5\cdot 10^6}{-1.25\cdot 10^{-4}}=4.0\cdot 10^{10}s$

Which surface winds blow between the subtropical high and the equator

sasho [114]

Answer:

trade winds

Explanation:

In tropics regions on the lower portion of earth's atmosphere the surface winds are observed in prevailing pattern. In northern hemisphere the trade wind predominantly blows from north east. In southern hemisphere it flows from south east. Subtropical high and the equator is in between these areas.

Thus, trade wind blow between the subtropical high and the equator.

You place a book on top of a spring and push down, compressing the spring by 10 cm. When you let go of the book, it is pushed up

Zinaida [17]

At First, there is chemical Energy( in your muscels) which is Used to Push down the spring. This Energy becomes the Energy of the spring, which increases until you stop pushing. If you Put your hand away, the Energy of the spring will become kinetic energ. This Energy is at the highest Level the Moment the book ist Leaving the spring. Afterwards, the kinetic Energy decreases while the Gravitational Potential Energy increases.

A dog barks to alert his owner. What is the medium for the sound waves produced by the dog barking?

777dan777 [17]

Answer:

The medium for the sound waves produced by the dog barking is the air

Explanation:

Sound waves are a form of mechanical waves such that it moves from one point to another by the vibration, back and forth of the medium particles from one layer to the next, thereby the particles of the medium remain in the same location and only the wave energy is propagated

The medium which has particles that vibrate back and forth in order to transmit the barking of the dog is the air.
