Answer:

E = 2.84 * 10^5 N/C

Explanation:

The speed increased from 2.0 * 10^7 m/s to 4.0 * 10^7 m/s over a 1.2 cm distance.

Let us find the acceleration:

v^2 = u^2 + 2as

(4.0 * 10^7)^2 = (2.0 * 10^7)^2 + 2 * a * 0.012\\\\(4.0 * 10^7)^2 - (2.0 * 10^7)^2 = 0.024a\\\\1.2 * 10^{15}= 0.024a\\\\a = 1.2 * 10^{15} / 0.024\\\\a = 5 * 10^{16} m/s^2

Electric force is given as the product of charge and electric field strength:

F = qE

where q = electric charge

E = Electric field strength

Force is generally given as:

F = ma

where m = mass

a = acceleration

Equating both:

ma = qE

E = ma / q

For an electron:

m = 9.11 × 10^{-31} kg

q = 1.602 × 10^{-19} C

Therefore, the electric field strength of the electron is:

E = \frac{9.11 * 10^{-31} * 5 * 10^{16}}{1.602 * 10^{-19}} \\\\E = 2.84 * 10^5 N/C

A 71-kg swimmer dives horizontally off a 500-kg raft. If the diver's speed immediately after leaving the raft is 6m/s, what is t
Sloan [31]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

Momentum is used to measure the quantity of motion in an object. Momentum is the product of mass and velocity.

Momentum = mass * velocity

The principle of conservation of momentum states that momentum cannot be created or destroyed but  can be transferred. Therefore the momentum before and after an action is equal.

Initial momentum = Final momentum

Let m be the mass of the diver, M be the mass of the raft, u be the initial velocity of the diver, U be the initial velocity of the raft, v be the final velocity of the diver and V be the final velocity of the raft.

m = 71 kg, M = 500 kg, v = 6 m/s

Initial both the raft and diver are at rest, hence u and U is zero, hence:

mu + MU = mv + MV

71(0) + 500(0) = 71(6) + 500(V)

0 = 426 + 500(V)

500(V) = -426

V = -426/500

V = -0.852 m/s

if you crash your car how could you decrease the damage to you or the car using the concept of impulse
kotykmax [81]

Explanation:

Crumple zones are sections in cars that are designed to crumple up when the car encounters a collision. Crumple zones minimize the effect of the force in an automobile collision in two ways. By crumpling, the car is less likely to rebound upon impact, thus minimizing the momentum change and the impulse.

Velocity is:
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

d

Explanation:

Solution:-

- The Quantity of theory of money states:

                      M * V = P * Y

Where,

           M = Money supply

           V = Velocity of money exchange

           P = The price level

           Y = Real GDP

- By re-arranging the formula and solving for "V" we have:

                     V = P*Y / M

- The expression on right hand side increases if exchange of dollars increases.
