Answer:

–50.96

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Initial velocity (Vᵢ) = 0 m/s

Acceleration (a) = – 9.8 m/s²

Time (t) = 5.2 s

Final velocity (Vբ) =.?

Acceleration is simply defined as the change of velocity with time. Mathematically, it is expressed as:

Acceleration (a) = Final velocity (Vբ) – Initial velocity (Vᵢ) /Time (t) =

a = (Vբ – Vᵢ) / t

With the above formula, we can determine how fast the object is traveling after 5 s as follow:

Initial velocity (Vᵢ) = 0 m/s

Acceleration (a) = – 9.8 m/s²

Time (t) = 5.2 s

Final velocity (Vբ) =.?

a = (Vբ – Vᵢ) / t

– 9.8 = (Vբ – 0) / 5.2

– 9.8 = Vբ / 5.2

Cross multiply

Vբ = –9.8 × 5.2

Vբ = –50.96 m/s

Therefore, the object is traveling at

–50.96 m/s

If a 20 g cannonball is shot from a 5 kg cannon with a velocity of 100

balu736 [363]

Strange as it may seem, the statement in the question appears to be <em>TRUE</em>.

-- Before the shot, neither the cannon nor the ball is moving, so their combined momentum is zero.

-- Since momentum is conserved, we know immediately that their combined momentum AFTER the shot also has to be zero.

-- (20g is rather puny for a "cannonball" ... about the same weight as four nickels. But we'll take your word for it and just do the Math and the Physics.)

-- Momentum = (mass) x (velocity)

After the shot, the momentum of the cannonball is

(0.02 kg) x (100 m/s ==> that way)

Momentum of the ball = 2 kg-m/s ==> that way.

-- In order for both of them to add up to zero, the momentum of the cannon must be (2 kg-m/s this way <==) .

Momentum of cannon = (5 kg) x (V m/s this way <==)

2 kg-m/s this way <== = (5 kg) x (V m/s this way <==)

Divide each side by (5 kg):

V m/s = (2/5) m/s this way <==

Speed of recoil of the cannon = <em>-- 0.4 m/s</em>

The cross section of a copper strip is 1.2 mmthick and 20 mm wide. There is a 25-A current through this cross section, with the

Naily [24]

To solve this problem it is necessary to use the concepts related to the Hall Effect and Drift velocity, that is, at the speed that an electron reaches due to a magnetic field.

The drift velocity is given by the equation:

$V_d = \frac{I}{nAq}$

Where

I = current

n = Number of free electrons

A = Cross-Section Area

q = charge of proton

Our values are given by,

$I = 25 A$

$A= 1.2*20 *10^{-6} m^2$

$q= 1.6*10^{-19}C$

$N = 8.47*10^{19} mm^{-3}$

$V_d =\frac{25}{(1.2*20 *10^{-6})(1.6*10^{-19})(8.47*10^{19} )}$

$V_d = 7.68*10^{-5}m/s$

The hall voltage is given by

$V=\frac{IB}{ned}$

Where

B= Magnetic field

n = number of free electrons

d = distance

e = charge of electron

Then using the formula and replacing,

$V=\frac{(2.5)(25)}{(8.47*10^{28})(1.6*10^{-19})(1.2*10^{-3})}$

$V = 3.84*10^{-6}V$
