Answer:

If energy is conserved, then the sum of the potential energy and the kinetic energy is a constant.

Assuming the proton starts from rest, so it's kineitc energy is zero, but it has a potential energy, PE equal to:

PE = qV

where q =1.6 x 10^-19 C

and V = 1.00 V

Assuming the proton no longer experiences the potential energy and it is all converted to kinetic energy then:

PE* = 0,

KE* = 1/(2mv^2)

Now since

PE + KE = Total energy =PE* + KE*

Therefore,

qV + 0 = 0 + 1/2mv^2

Or

KE = qV = 1.6 10^-19 J

A meter stick balances at the 50.0-cm mark. If a mass of 50.0 g is placed at the 90.0-cm mark, the stick balances at the 61.3-cm
Airida [17]

Answer:

126.99115 g

Explanation:

50 g at 90 cm

Stick balances at 61.3 cm

x = Distance of the third 0.6 kg mass

Meter stick hanging at 50 cm

Torque about the support point is given by (torque is conserved)

mgl_1=Mgl_2\\\Rightarrow M=\dfrac{ml_1}{l_2}\\\Rightarrow M=\dfrac{50\times (61.3-90)}{50-61.3}\\\Rightarrow M=126.99115\ g

The mass of the meter stick is 126.99115 g

why does diving 30m below sea level affect our bodies more than being in a building 30m above sea level
Genrish500 [490]
Imagine you are in a swimming pool 30m deep. Assuming you know that water is denser than air, you would know that the 30m of water above you will carry more weight, and press down on your body. Say you were in a swimming pool 60m deep, you would be sandwiched between 30m of water pressing down on you, and the upthrust created by the 30m of water below you.

In a building 30m up, the pressure will be regulated, as you are in a building. The floor will be strong enough to support the weight of the body, and the body will not recoil into itself.

Calculate the change in velocity of a 0.070kg tennis ball hit by Serena with a force of 140 N over 0.020 s
Brilliant_brown [7]
V=at and a=F/m

140/.070 = 2000m/s^2

2000*.020 = 40m/s

The ball’s velocity increased by 40m/s.

The speed of light in a transparent medium is 0.6 times that of its speed in vacuum. Find the refractive index of the medium.
grin007 [14]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

The refractive index is 1.66

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The speed of light in a transparent medium is 0.6 times that of its speed in vacuum .

Refractive index of medium = speed of light in vacuum / speed of light in medium  

So

RI = 1/0.6 = 5/3 or 1.66

Explain whether demand is likely to be elastic or inelastic for Big Macs. A. Elastic comma since many other fast food items coul
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

A - elastic since many other fast food items could be considered close substitutes.

Explanation:

The price elasticity of demand is how much the demand of the Big Macs will change due to a 1% change in price. Should the elasticity be greater than 1, the Big Macs will be elastic. Should it be less than 1, the Big Macs are inelastic.  

Demand elasticity is calculated as the percentage change in quantity demanded divided by a percentage change in price.

Since Big Macs are (i) a luxury good, and (ii) have close substitutes (other burgers available at McDonalds and other fast food stores), we will say their elasticity is greater than 1.  

This means that the demand of Big Macs will change due to a 1% increase in price due to the presence of close substitutes.
