Answer:

(c) time required to travel = 8 sec

Explanation:

We have given the final position = -10 m on x axis

And the initial position =10 m

So total distance = 10-(-10)=20 m

The speed is given as 2.5 m/sec

We have tof ind the time required by the person to travel

Time is given by t=\frac{distance}{speed}=\frac{20}{2.5}=8 sec

So the option (c) is correct option

2. Consider a conical pendulum with a bob of mass m = 77.0 kg on a string of length L = 10.0 m that makes an angle of ???? 3.00°
bekas [8.4K]

Explanation:

It is given that,

The mass of bob, m = 77 kg

Length of the string, L = 10 m

Angle made by the string with the vertical, \theta=3^{\circ}

(a) Let T is the force exerted by the string on the pendulum. At equilibrium,

T\ cos\theta=mg

T=\dfrac{mg}{cos\theta}

T=\dfrac{77\times 9.8}{cos(3)}

T = 755.63 N

The horizontal component of the force is given by,

T_H=T\ sin\theta

T_H=755.63\ sin(3)=39.54\ N

The vertical component of the force is given by,

T_V=T\ sin\theta=mg

T_V=754.59\ N

(b) Let a is the radial acceleration of the bob. It can be calculated as :

a=\dfrac{T_H}{m}

a=\dfrac{39.54\ N}{77\ kg}

a=0.51\ m/s^2

Hence, this is the required solution.

Why dont you fall through walls when you lean against them? provide a scientific explanation to explain your answer.​
kondaur [170]

Answer:

That's why if you lean against the wall, you don't just fall through it. The wall pushes back on you as hard as you push on it, and you and the wall stay in place. If you throw something, you put more force behind it than just leaning on it, so it pushes back with more force.

A proton traveling at 17.6° with respect to the direction of a magnetic field of strength 3.28 mT experiences a magnetic force o
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

a) The proton's speed is 5.75x10⁵ m/s.

b) The kinetic energy of the proton is 1723 eV.  

Explanation:

a) The proton's speed can be calculated with the Lorentz force equation:

F = qv \times B = qvBsin(\theta)     (1)          

Where:

F: is the force = 9.14x10⁻¹⁷ N

q: is the charge of the particle (proton) = 1.602x10⁻¹⁹ C

v: is the proton's speed =?

B: is the magnetic field = 3.28 mT

θ: is the angle between the proton's speed and the magnetic field = 17.6°

By solving equation (1) for v we have:

v = \frac{F}{qBsin(\theta)} = \frac{9.14 \cdot 10^{-17} N}{1.602\cdot 10^{-19} C*3.28 \cdot 10^{-3} T*sin(17.6)} = 5.75 \cdot 10^{5} m/s

Hence, the proton's speed is 5.75x10⁵ m/s.

b) Its kinetic energy (K) is given by:

K = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}

Where:

m: is the mass of the proton = 1.67x10⁻²⁷ kg

K = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2} = \frac{1}{2}1.67 \cdot 10^{-27} kg*(5.75 \cdot 10^{5} m/s)^{2} = 2.76 \cdot 10^{-16} J*\frac{1 eV}{1.602 \cdot 10^{-19} J} = 1723 eV  

Therefore, the kinetic energy of the proton is 1723 eV.

I hope it helps you!

If the result of your calculation of a quantity has si units kg•m^2/s^2•C, that quantity could be
Novosadov [1.4K]
It would be Joules.
Workdone is measured in Joules.
Workdone = Force * distance
Force = mass * acceleration
          = kg      *  ms⁻²
          = kgms⁻²

Distance = m

So, Force * distance
       kgms⁻² * m

Apply laws of indices that says
x² * x³ = x²⁺³ = x⁵

Therefore, It would be kgm²s⁻²
m¹ * m¹ = m¹⁺¹ = m²
s⁻² is also = s / 2
