(a)-electron, create a negative solution

sashaice [31]2 years ago

Answer:

(A)-electron

Explanation:

Particles can be classified into:

- Leptons: particles which do not feel the strong interaction

- Hadrons: particles which interact by strong nuclear forces (they are actually not fundamental particles, since they are composed of quarks)

- Boson: the mediators of the four fundamental forces

The given options in this problem are:

(A)-electron --> LEPTON (because it does not feel the strong interaction)

(B)-proton --> HADRON (it consists of quarks)

(C)-neutron --> HADRON (it consists of quarks)

(D)-photon --> BOSON (it is the mediator of the electromagnetic force)

(E)-boson --> BOSON

So, the only lepton among the choices is (A) electron.

Please HELP ME If the motion of an object changes, what must be true about the forces acting on that object?

atroni [7]

Answer:

If there is a net force acting on an object, the object will have an acceleration and the object's velocity will change. ... Newton's second law states that for a particular force, the acceleration of an object is proportional to the net force and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.

A car slows down from speed of 72

Nastasia [14]

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial velocity = 72km/hr

Final velocity = 0km/hr

Time taken = 25s

Unknown:

Acceleration = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, convert km/hr to m/s;

1000m = 1km

3600s = 1hr

72km/hr;

1km/hr = 0.278m/s

72km/hr = 0.278 x 72 = 20.02m/s

Acceleration is the change in velocity divided by the time taken;

Acceleration = $\frac{final velocity - initial velocity }{time}$

Acceleration = $\frac{0 - 20.02}{25}$ = -0.8m/s

The car is actually decelerating at a rate of 0.8m/s

Keeping the mass at 1.0 kg and the velocity at 10.0 m/s, record the magnitude of centripetal acceleration for each given radius

Paha777 [63]

Answer:

The centripetal acceleration for the first radius; 2.0 m = 50 m/s²

The centripetal acceleration for the second radius; 4.0 m = 25 m/s²

The centripetal acceleration for the third radius; 6.0 m = 16.67 m/s²

The centripetal acceleration for the fourth radius; 8.0 m = 12.5 m/s²

The centripetal acceleration for the fifth radius; 10.0 m = 10 m/s²

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the object, m = 1 kg

velocity of the object, v = 10 m/s

different values of the radius, 2.0 m 4.0 m 6.0 m 8.0 m 10.0 m

The centripetal acceleration for the first radius; 2.0 m

$a_c = \frac{v^2}{r} \\\\a_c_1= \frac{(10)^2}{2} \\\\a_c_1= 50 \ m/s^2$

The centripetal acceleration for the second radius; 4.0 m

$a_c_2= \frac{(10)^2}{4} \\\\a_c_2= 25 \ m/s^2$

The centripetal acceleration for the third radius; 6.0 m

$a_c_3= \frac{(10)^2}{6} \\\\a_c_3= 16.67 \ m/s^2$

The centripetal acceleration for the fourth radius; 8.0 m

$a_c_4= \frac{(10)^2}{8} \\\\a_c_4= 12.5 \ m/s^2$

The centripetal acceleration for the fifth radius; 10.0 m

$a_c_5= \frac{(10)^2}{10} \\\\a_c_5= 10 \ m/s^2$

A cross-country skier can complete a 7.5 km race in 45 min. What is the skier’s average speed?

kap26 [50]

Answer:

Speed = 10 km/hr

Explanation:

Speed = Distance / Time

Since we have to convert it into minutes to hours ( because it is km/hr )

45 minutes = 0.75 hours

Therefore,

Speed = 7.5 / 0.75

= 10 km/hr

Hope it helps!
