A tennis player practices against a wall, hitting a 0.1 kg ball towards the

Physics

pantera1 [17]3 years ago
3 0

Answer: 80 Newton

Explanation:

Initial velocity of ball = +20 m/s.

Final velocity of ball = -20 m/s

Mass of ball = 0.1kg

Time taken = 0.05 seconds

Average force = (Change in momentum of moving ball / Time taken)

Since, change in momentum = Mass (final velocity - initial velocity)

Change in momentum =0.1 x (-20 - (+20))

= 0.1 x (-20-20)

= 0.1 x (-40)

= -4.0 kgm/s

Then, put -4.0 kgm/s in the equation of force when Average Force = (Change in momentum / Time taken)

= (-4.0kgm/s / 0.05 seconds)

= 80Newton (note that the negative sign does not reflect on the magnitude of force)

Thus, the average force exerted on the ball is 80N

A gold nucleus is 466 fm (1 fm = 10-15 m) from a proton, which initially is at rest. When the proton is released, it speeds away
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

v=6.8\times10^6m/s

Explanation:

The sum of the kinetic and electric potential energies of the proton when initially released must be equal to their sum at infinity, so we have:

K_i+U_i=K_f+U_f

Which, since K_i=0J because initially the proton is at rest, is:

\frac{kqQ}{d}=\frac{mv^2}{2}+\frac{kqQ}{r_\infty}

where k=9\times10^9Nm^2/C^2 is Coulomb's constant, q=1.6\times10^{-19}C the charge of the proton, Q=(79)(1.6\times10^{-19})C the charge of the gold nucleus, since it has 79 protons, d=466\times10^{-15}m the initial separation between them, m=1.67\times10^{-27}kg the mass of the proton and v its final velocity. r_\infty is very far away, so the final electric potential will be 0J, and we have:

v=\sqrt{\frac{2kqQ}{md}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(9\times10^9)(1.6\times10^{-19})^2(79)}{(1.67\times10^{-27})(466\times10^{-15})}}m/s=6839409m/s

A spaceship starting from a resting position accelerates at a constant rate of 9.8 meters per second per second. How long and ho
Verizon [17]

Accelerating at 9.8 m/s² means that every second, the speed is 9.8 m/s faster than it was a second earlier.  It's not important to the problem, but this number (9.8) happens to be the acceleration of gravity on Earth.

1% of the speed of light = (300,000,000 m/s) / 100 = 3,000,000 m/s .

Starting from zero speed, moving (9.8 m/s) faster every second,
how long does it take to reach  3,000,000 m/s ?

           (3,000,000 m/s) / (9.8 m/s²)  =  306,122 seconds .
                                                   (That's  5,102 minutes.)
                                                        (That's  85 hours.)
                                                     (That's  3.54 days.)

Speed at the beginning . . . zero .
Speed at the end . . . 3,000,000 m/s
Average speed . . . . . 1,500,000 m/s

Distance = (average speed) x (time)

               = (1,500,000 m/s) x (306,122 sec) = 4.592 x 10¹¹ meters

                                                                     =  459 million kilometers

                         That's like from Earth
                                                  to       Sun
                                                             to    Earth
                                                                    to        Sun.

The atomic number is the number of _______<br> In an atom
Andrei [34K]

Answer: Protons

Explanation: The atomic number is the number of protons that are in the nucleus of an atom. Each element on the periodic table is defined by the number of protons. In other words, the protons/atomic number determines what element it is. Protons carry a positive charge.

Need help transforming one formula to another!
Sindrei [870]

Hello! I don't know if this will help you any but I worked it out, got nothing on it. So, I just had my twin help me and he had nothing either. But, this is just how to find the transformation. Seems like this is already complete to me.

To find the transformation, compare the equation to the parent function and check to see if there is a horizontal or vertical shift, reflection about the x-axis or y-axis, and if there is a vertical stretch.

Parent function : y=√a

Horizontal shift : None

Vertical shift : none

Reflection about the x-axis : none

Vertical stretch : Stretched.

I am so sorry if this doesn't help you but to me, in both my eyes and my brother's eyes, this already looks complete. I hope this helps you out. Again, so sorry if it doesn't.
