A falling object (directly downward) is slowed down by air resistance. In turn it would take longer to fall.

Consider an electron with charge −e and mass m orbiting in a circle around a hydrogen nucleus (a single proton) with charge +e.

alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

$v=\sqrt{k\frac{e^2}{m_e r}}$ , $2.18\cdot 10^6 m/s$

Explanation:

The magnitude of the electromagnetic force between the electron and the proton in the nucleus is equal to the centripetal force:

$k\frac{(e)(e)}{r^2}=m_e \frac{v^2}{r}$

where

k is the Coulomb constant

e is the magnitude of the charge of the electron

e is the magnitude of the charge of the proton in the nucleus

r is the distance between the electron and the nucleus

v is the speed of the electron

$m_e$ is the mass of the electron

Solving for v, we find

$v=\sqrt{k\frac{e^2}{m_e r}}$

Inside an atom of hydrogen, the distance between the electron and the nucleus is approximately

$r=5.3\cdot 10^{-11}m$

while the electron mass is

$m_e = 9.11\cdot 10^{-31}kg$

and the charge is

$e=1.6\cdot 10^{-19} C$

Substituting into the formula, we find

$v=\sqrt{(9\cdot 10^9 m/s) \frac{(1.6\cdot 10^{-19} C)^2}{(9.11\cdot 10^{-31} kg)(5.3\cdot 10^{-11} m)}}=2.18\cdot 10^6 m/s$

An empty rubber balloon has a mass of 12.5 g. The balloon is filled with helium at a density of 0.181 kg/m3. At this density the

Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

5.5 N

Explanation:

mass of balloon (m) = 12.5 g = 0.0125 kg

density of helium = 0.181 kg/m^{3}

radius of the baloon (r) = 0.498 m

density of air = 1.29 kg/m^{3}

acceleration due to gravity (g) = 1.29 m/s^{2}

find the tension in the line

the tension in the line is the sum of all forces acting on the line

Tension =buoyant force + force by helium + force of weight of rubber

force = mass x acceleration

from density = \frac{mass}{volume} , mass = density x volume

buoyant force = density x volume x acceleration

where density is the density of air for the buoyant force

buoyant force = 1.29 x (\frac{4]{3} x π x 0.498^{3}) x 9.8 = 6.54 N

force by helium = density x volume x acceleration

force by helium = 0.181 x (\frac{4]{3} x π x 0.498^{3}) x 9.8 = 0.917 N

force of its weight = mass of rubber x acceleration

force of its weight = 0.0125 x 9.8 = 0.1225 N

Tension = buoyant force + force by helium + force of weight of rubber

the force of weight of rubber and of helium act downwards, so they

carry a negative sign.

Tension = 6.54 - 0.917 - 0.1225 = 5.5 N

Which response is the least effective when confronted with trying drugs or alcohol? "I'd rather be in control of what I do."

SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

The least effective answer would be "It's okay to lose control every once in a while."

Explanation:

This answer would make it seem like you are either already on drugs or you are willing to try them, which i assume in this case, you are not.

The lowest point in Death Valley is 75.5 m below the sea level. The summit of nearby Mt. Whitney has an elevation of 4360 m. Wha

sineoko [7]

Answer:2738.477 kJ

Explanation:

Given

Lowest Point of death valley is 75.5 m below sea level

Height of Mt. Whitney is 4360 m

mass of hiker =63 kg

Change in potential energy $=m\times g\times (h_2-h_1)$

Considering sea level a datum

$\delta PE=63\times 9.8\times (4360-(-75.5))=2738477.7 J$

$\delta PE=2738.477 kJ$
