Answer:

A) t = 7.0 s    

B) x = 25 m  

C) v = 10 m/s

Explanation:

The equations for the position and velocity of an object traveling in a straight line is given by the following expressions:

x = x0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · a · t²

v = v0 + a · t

Where:

x = position at time t

x0 = initial position

v0 = initial velocity

t = time

a = acceleration

v = velocity at time t

A)When both friends meet, their position is the same:

x bicyclist = x friend

x0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · a · t² = x0 + v · t

If we place the center of the frame of reference at the point when the bicyclist starts following his friend, the initial position of the bicyclist will be 0, and the initial position of the friend will be his position after 2 s:

Position of the friend after 2 s:

x = v · t

x = 3.6 m/s · 2 s = 7.2 m

Then:

1/2 · a · t² = x0 + v · t       v0 of the bicyclist is 0 because he starts from rest.

1/2 · 2.0 m/s² · t² = 7.2 m + 3.6 m/s · t

1  m/s² · t² - 3.6 m/s · t - 7.2 m = 0

Solving the quadratic equation:

t = 5.0 s

It takes the bicyclist (5.0 s + 2.0 s) 7.0 s to catch his friend after he passes him.

B) Using the equation for the position, we can calculate the traveled distance. We can use the equation for the position of the friend, who traveled over 7.0 s.

x = v · t

x = 3.6 m/s · 7.0 s = 25 m

(we would have obtained the same result if we would have used the equation for the position of the bicyclist)

C) Using the equation of velocity:

v = a · t

v = 2.0 m/s² · 5.0 s = 10 m/s

An electron and a proton have the same kinetic energy upon entering a region of constant magnetic field and their velocity vecto
kupik [55]

Answer: rp/re= me/mp= 544 * 10^-6.

Explanation: To calculate this problem we have to consider the circular movement by the electron and proton inside a magnetic field.

Then the dynamic equation for the circular movement is given by:

Fcentripetal= m*ω^2.r

q*v*B=m*ω^2.r

we write this for each particle then we have the following:

q*v*B=me* ω^2*re

q*v*B=mp* ω^2*rp

rp/re=me/mp=9.1*10^-31/1.67*10^-27=544*10^-6
