Find the final velocity of a 40 kg skateboarder traveling at an initial velocity of 10 m/s that moves up a hill from a height of
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

vf = 0

Explanation:

Since the initial height hi = 0, we can rewrite the energy equation as

vf^2 = vi^2 - 2ghf = (10 m/s)^2 - 2(10 m/s^2)(5 m) = 0

Therefore, his final velocity vf is

vf = 0

The tub of a washer goes into its spin-dry cycle, starting from rest and reaching an angular speed of 6.0 rev/s in 11.0 s. At th
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer

given,

ω₁ = 0 rev/s

ω₂ = 6 rev/s

t = 11 s

Using equation of rotational motion

The angular acceleration is

  ωf - ωi = α t

  11 α = 6 - 0

      = 0.545 rev/s²

The angular displacement

  θ₁= ωi t + (1/2) α t²

  θ₁= 0 + (1/2) (0.545)(11)^2

  θ₁= 33 rev

case 2

ω₁ = 6 rev/s

ω₂ = 0 rev/s

t = 14 s

Using equation of rotational motion

The angular acceleration is

  ωf - ωi = α t

  14 α = 0 - 6

        = - 0.428 rev/s²

The angular displacement

  θ₂= ωi t + (1/2) α t²

  θ₂= 6 x 14 + (1/2) (-0.428)(14)^2

  θ₂= 42 rev

total revolution in 25 s is equal to

θ =  θ₁ +  θ₂

θ =  33 + 42

θ = 75 rev

Why did Thomson observe two glowing dots when he put neon gas into a<br> cathode-ray tube?
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

Electrons accelerated to high velocities travel in straight lines through an empty cathode ray tube and strike the glass wall of the tube, causing excited atoms to fluoresce or glow.

According to Coulomb's law, what happens to the attraction of two oppositely charged objects as their distance of separation inc
NARA [144]

Answer:

Option B. Decreases

Explanation:

Coulomb's law states that:

F = Kq₁q₂ / r²

Where:

F => is the force of attraction between two charges

K => is the electrical constant.

q₁ and q₂ => are the two charges

r => is the distance apart.

From the formula:

F = Kq₁q₂ / r²

The force of attraction (F) is inversely proportional to the square of their separating distance (r).

This implies that as the distance between them increase, the force of attraction between the two charges will decrease and as the distance between two charges decrease, the force of attraction between them will increase.

Considering the question given above and the illustration given above, the force of attraction will decrease as their distance of separation increases.

Option B gives the right answer to the question.
