Answer:

negative

Explanation:

He is decreasing acceleration. To calculate, imply do 10-5= 5, but since it is a decrease, we must say -5

What is the velocity of a proton that has been accelerated by a potential difference of 15 kV? (i)\:\:\:\:\:9.5\:\times\:10^5\:m
andre [41]

Answer:

Velocity of a proton, v=1.7\times 10^6\ m/s    

Explanation:

It is given that,

Potential difference, V=15\ kV=15\times 10^3\ V

Let v is the velocity of a proton that has been accelerated by a potential difference of 15 kV.

Using the conservation of energy as :

\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=qV

q is the charge of proton

m is the mass of proton

v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2qV}{m}}

v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C\times 15\times 10^3\ V}{1.67\times 10^{-27}\ kg}

v=1695361.75\ m/s

v=1.69\times 10^6\ m/s

or

v=1.7\times 10^6\ m/s

So, the velocity of a proton is 1.7\times 10^6\ m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

A car is driving at 99 km/h, calculate the distance it travels in 70 minutes.
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

The distance the car travels is 115500 m in S.I units

Explanation:

Distance d = vt where v = speed of the car and t = time taken to travel

Now v = 99 km/h. We now convert it to S.I units. So

v = 99 km/h = 99 × 1000 m/(1 × 3600 s)

v = 99000 m/3600 s

v = 27.5 m/s

The speed of the car is 27.5 m/s in S.I units

We now convert the time t = 70 minutes to seconds by multiplying it by 60.

So, t = 70 min = 70 × 60 s = 4200 s

The time taken to travel is 4200 s in S.I units

Now the distance, d = vt

d = 27.5 m/s × 4200 s

d = 115500 m

So, the distance the car travels is 115500 m in S.I units

What is the centripetal acceleration of a small laboratory centrifuge in which the tip of the test tube is moving at 19.0 meters
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:3.61(10)^{3} \frac{m}{s^{2}}

The centripetal acceleration a_{c} of an object moving in a uniform circular path is given by the following equation:

a_{c}=\frac{V^{2}}{r}

Where:

V=19m/s is the velocity

r=10cm=0.1m is the radius of the circle

a_{c}=\frac{(19m/s)^{2}}{0.1m}

a_{c}=3610m/s^{2}=3.61(10)^{3}m/s^{2}
