Answer:

v₁

Explanation:

A crew member is walking on a tugboat that is pulling a barge. The tugboat is moving at a constant speed upstream in a river that has a constant downstream current. The velocity of the crew member with respect to the tugboat is v₁. What is the velocity of the crew member with respect to the barge?

velocity is the change in displacement per time.

the velocity of the crew member with respect to the barge is v₁ since the barge is moving in the velocity of tugboat

What is the force required to produce an acceleration of 46.4
Brilliant_brown [7]
That depends on the mass of the object, and the unit of the '46.4' .

If the '46.4' is ' meters per second² ' , then the force required is

       (mass of the object in kilograms) x (46.4)    newtons .

A charged particle accelerated to a velocity v enters the chamber of a mass spectrometer. The particle's velocity is perpendicul
gladu [14]

Answer:

Circle

Explanation:

When a charged particle is in motion in a region with magnetic field, the particle experiences a force whose magnitude is given by

F=qvB sin \theta

where

q is the charge

v is the velocity of the particle

B is the strength of the magnetic field

\theta is the angle between the directions of v and B

In this problem, the velocity of the particle is perpendicular to the magnetic field, so

\theta=90^{\circ}

and the formula reduces to

F=qvB

Also, the direction of this force is perpendicular to the direction of motion of the particle. This means that as the charge moves in the region of the magnetic field, the force acting on it acts as a centripetal force: therefore, the particle will start moving by unifom circular motion, with constant speed (because the magnetic force does no work on the particle, since it is perpendicular to the direction of motion).

So, the path of the particle will be a circle.

A 39-cm-long vertical spring has one end fixed on the floor. Placing a 2.2 kg physics textbook on the spring compresses it to a
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

The spring constant is 215.6 N/m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance = 39 cm

Compresses length = 29 cm

Mass = 2.2 kg

We need to calculate the distance

Using formula of distance

x=l-l'

Put the value into the formula

x=39-29=10\ cm

We need to calculate the spring constant

Using formula of restoring force

F=kx

k=\dfrac{mg}{x}

Where, F = force

x = distance

Put the value into the formula

k=\dfrac{2.2\times9.8}{10\times10^{-2}}

k=215.6\ N/m

Hence, The spring constant is 215.6 N/m.
