A proton is held at rest in a uniform electric field. When it is released, the proton will lose?

nydimaria [60]

A proton is held at rest in a uniform electric field. When it is released, the proton will lose its kinetic energy.

Kinetic energy

The energy an object has as a result of motion is known as kinetic energy in physics. It is described as the effort required to move a mass-determined body from rest to the indicated velocity. The body holds onto the kinetic energy it acquired during its acceleration until its speed changes. The body exerts the same amount of effort when slowing down from its current pace to a condition of rest. Formally, kinetic energy is any term that includes a derivative with respect to time in the Lagrangian of a system.

The increase of kinetic energy at the square of the speed of your vehicle has a major influence on all motor vehicles in three p

Viktor [21]

This implies that stopping distance and impact force grow as a function of speed. The best ways to improve manoeuvrability and lessen crash severity are to drive at an appropriate pace and to slow down as soon as you spot dangers in front of you.

Keep in mind that stopping distance increases with speed; at 50 mph, it is four times longer than at 25 mph, and at 75 mph, the force of impact is nine times greater.

<h3>What is the impact of speed on kinetic energy ?</h3>

When your car expends or absorbs energy to speed up or slow down, you may feel a pull or a jolt, called impulse. Impulse increases as the energy or force increases, and increases as the duration of the force decreases. You'll feel a harder jolt if you speed up or slow down suddenly.

Consider: coming to a stop from 60 mph in ten seconds doesn't hurt you or your vehicle because the force of this event is spread out over a long time. But if you hit a wall and come to a stop in just half a second, you'll feel twenty times the impulse, causing severe damage.

You are designing a simple elevator system for an old warehouse that is being converted to loft apartments. A 22,500-N elevator

ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

A) mass = 3121.58 kg

B) tension = 25940.37 N

C) tension = 25940.37 N (tension on both sides will be the same)

Explanation:

Weight of elevator = 22500 N

Distance = 6.75 m

Time = 3 sec

Since it started from rest, initial speed is zero.

Using Newton's equation of motion we have,

S = ut + 0.5at^2

S = distance covered = 6.75 m

t = time = 3 s

a = acceleration upwards

u = initial velocity = 0

Substituting values, we have,

6.75 = 0(3) + (0.5 x a x 3^2)

6.75 = 4.5a

a = 6.75/4.5 = 1.5 m/s^2 (acceleration of the elevator upwards)

Mass of the elevator = Weight/g

Where g = acceleration due to gravity 9.81 m/s

Mass = 22500/9.81 = 2293.58 kg

From the image below we solve from

T - 22500 = ma

T - 22500 = 2293.58 x 1.5

T - 22500 = 3440.37

T = 3440.37 + 22500 = 25940.37 N (this is the tension on the rope)

On the other side,

mg - T = ma

9.81m - 25940.37 = 1.5m

(9.81 - 1.5)m = 25940.37

8.31m = 25940.37

m = 3121.58 kg (mass of counter weight)
