In a ballistic pendulum experiment, projectile 1 results in a maximum height h of the pendulum equal to 2.6 cm. A second project

ile (of the same mass) causes the the pendulum to swing twice as high, h2 = 5.2 cm.
The second projectile was how many times faster than the first?

Answer:

  Second  projectile is 1.4 times faster than first projectile.

Explanation:

By linear momentum conservation

Pi = Pf

m x U + M x 0 = (m + M) x V

U= \dfrac{(m + M)\times V}{m}

Now Since this projectile + pendulum system rises to height 'h', So using energy conservation:

KEi + PEi = KEf + PEf

PEi = 0, at reference point

KEf = 0, Speed of system zero at height 'h'

KEi = \dfrac{(m + M)\times V^2}{2}

PEf = (m + M) g h

So,

\dfrac{(m + M)\times V^2}{2} + 0 = 0+ (m + M) g h

V =\sqrt {2gh}

So from above value of V

Initial velocity of projectile =U

U=\dfrac{(M+m)\sqrt{2gh}}{m}

Now Since mass of projectile and pendulum are constant, So Initial velocity of projectile is proportional to the square root of height swung by pendulum.

Which means

\dfrac{U_2}{U_1}=\sqrt{\dfrac{h_2}{h_1}}

U_2=\sqrt{\dfrac{h_2}{h_1}}\times U_1

U_2=\sqrt{\dfrac{5.2}{2.6}}\times U_1

U₂ = 1.41 U₁

Therefore we can say that ,Second  projectile is 1.4 times faster than first projectile.

A proton is released in a uniform electric field, and it experiences an electric force of 2.04×10−14 N toward the south.
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

Part A:

E=127500N/C\\E=1.275*10^{5} N/C

Part B:

Option B (Towards the South)

Explanation:

Part A:

Magnitude if electric field E:

E=Force/charge

Force=2.04×10−14 N

Charge=1.6×10−19 C

E=\frac{2.04*10^{-14}}{1.6*10^{-19}} \\E=127500N/C\\E=1.275*10^{5} N/C

Part B:

Option B (Towards the South)

As electron is experiencing the force towards south,it means the direction of the electric field is towards the south because direction of field lines is from positive to negative, so proton is moving towards south it means negative charge is in south to which proton is attracted. So electric field is towards South.

Alecsey [184]

Answer:0.1759 v

Explanation:

Intensity of wave at receiver end is

I=\frac{P_{avg}}{A}

I=\frac{3.80\times 10^3}{4\times \pi \times \left ( 4\times 1609.34\right )^2}

I=7.296\times 10^{-6} W/m^2

Amplitude of electric field at receiver end

E_{max}=\sqrt{2I\mu _0c}

Amplitude of induced emf

=E_{max}d

=\sqrt{2\times 7.29\times 10-6\times 4\pi \times 3\times 10^8}\times 0.75

=17.591\times 10^{-2}=0.1759 v

What is the difference between a bar magnet and an electromagnet? (check all that are
lukranit [14]

Answer:

D and A

Explanation:

Hint The basic difference between them is that a bar magnet is a permanent magnet whereas an electromagnet is a temporary magnet. An electromagnet is formed when an electric current is passed through wires wound around soft metalcore. An electromagnet loses its magnetism once the current flow is stopped.
