Now let’s say you’re on the Moon. If you were to drop a hammer and a feather from the same height, which would hit the ground first?
Trick Question! On the moon both objects would hit the ground at the same time. On Earth, the hammer lands first.
So yeah, the student is right. Galileo gave us this theory long ago.
Given Information:
KEa = 9520 eV
KEb = 7060 eV
Electric potential = Va = -55 V
Electric potential = Vb = +27 V
Required Information:
Charge of the particle = q = ?
Answer:
Charge of the particle = +4.8x10⁻¹⁸ C
Explanation:
From the law of conservation of energy, we have
ΔKE = -qΔV
KEb - KEa = -q(Vb - Va)
-q = KEb - KEa/Vb - Va
-q = 7060 - 9520/27 - (-55)
-q = 7060 - 9520/27 + 55
-q = -2460/82
minus sign cancels out
q = 2460/82
Convert eV into Joules by multiplying it with 1.60x10⁻¹⁹
q = 2460(1.60x10⁻¹⁹)/82
q = +4.8x10⁻¹⁸ C
If you are given distance and a period of time, you can calculate
the speed. The velocity of an object is the rate of change of its position with
respect to a frame of reference, and is a function of time. Velocity is
equivalent to a specification of its speed and direction of motion (e.g. 60
km/h to the north).
Answer:
248
Explanation:
L = Inductance of the slinky = 130 μH = 130 x 10⁻⁶ H
= length of the slinky = 3 m
N = number of turns in the slinky
r = radius of slinky = 4 cm = 0.04 m
Area of slinky is given as
A = πr²
A = (3.14) (0.04)²
A = 0.005024 m²
Inductance is given as
N = 248
In a transverse wave:
- Oscillations are perpendicular to the direction of energy travelling
- Frequency is the amount of complete waves passing a certain point in one second (measured in hertz, Hz)
- Wavelength is the distance from any point on one wave to the same point on the following wave
- The amplitude is the maximum displacement of the particles from their average position (and be measured from the horizontal mid-point of the wave to either the peak or trough)
There isn't always a defined relationship between these features. However, frequency × wavelength = velocity of the wave.
