Answer:

  • <em>Abbie’s acceleration is (1/2) Zak’s acceleration.</em>

Explanation

1. <u>Data</u>:

a) ω = constant

b) Abbie: r₁ = 1 m

c) Zak: r₂ = 2 m

d) Ac₁ = ? Ac₂

2. <u>Formulae</u>

  • Ac = ω² r

3. <u>Solution</u>:

a) Abbie:

  • Ac₁ = ω² r₁  =  ω² (1m)

b) Zack:

  • Ac₂ = ω² r₂  = ω² (2m)

c) Divide Ac₁ / Ac₂

  • Ac₁ / Ac₂ =  ω² (1m) / [ω² (2m) ] = 1/2

⇒      Ac₁ = (1/2) Ac₂ = Ac₂ / 2 = 0.5 Ac₂

A laser with a power of 1.0 mW has a beam radius of 1.0 mm. What is the peak value of the electric field in that beam
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

The peak value of the electric field is 489.64 V/m

Explanation:

Given;

power of the laser, P = 1.0 mW = 1 x 10⁻³ W

Radius of the beam, R = 1.0 mm = 1 x 10⁻³ m

Area of the beam = πr² = π(1 x 10⁻³ )² = 3.142 x 10⁻⁶ m²

The average intensity of the light = P / A

The average intensity of the light = ( 1 x 10⁻³) / (3.142 x 10⁻⁶)

The average intensity of the light = 318.27 W/m²

The peak value of the electric field is given by;

E_o = \sqrt{\frac{2I_{avg}}{c\epsilon_o}}\\\\E_o = \sqrt{\frac{2(318.27)}{(3*10^8)(8.85*10^{-12})}}\\\\E_o = 489.64 \ V/m

Therefore, the peak value of the electric field is 489.64 V/m.

What is the kinetic energy of a 200 kg satellite as it follows a circular orbit of radius 8x106m around the earth?
motikmotik
Given the equation for the Speed of a Satellite

v = SqRt{Gravitational Constant}{Mass of Earth} divided by the radius given in your problem

we have:


(square root whole term on right side)

v = G Me
———
r


so. (6.67x10^-11)(5.97x10^24)
___________________
(8.0x10^6)


v = 7055 m/s (which is reasonable)


so utilize the Kinetic Energy Formula


KE = 1/2mv^2


KE = 1/2(200)(7055)^2


KE = 4.977x10^9 J

A playground merry-go-round has a mass of 115 kg and a radius of 2.50 m and it is rotating with an angular velocity of 0.520 rev
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

W_f = 2.319 rad/s

Explanation:

For answer this we will use the law of the conservation of the angular momentum.

L_i = L_f

so:

I_mW_m = I_sW_f

where I_m is the moment of inertia of the merry-go-round, W_m is the initial angular velocity of the merry-go-round, I_s is the moment of inertia of the merry-go-round and the child together and W_f is the final angular velocity.

First, we will find the moment of inertia of the merry-go-round using:

I = \frac{1}{2}M_mR^2

I = \frac{1}{2}(115 kg)(2.5m)^2

I = 359.375 kg*m^2

Where M_m is the mass and R is the radio of the merry-go-round

Second, we will change the initial angular velocity to rad/s as:

W = 0.520*2\pi rad/s

W = 3.2672 rad/s

Third, we will find the moment of inertia of both after the collision:

I_s = \frac{1}{2}M_mR^2+mR^2

I_s = \frac{1}{2}(115kg)(2.5m)^2+(23.5kg)(2.5m)^2

I_s = 506.25kg*m^2

Finally we replace all the data:

(359.375)(3.2672) = (506.25)W_f

Solving for W_f:

W_f = 2.319 rad/s

An electron in a vacuum is first accelerated by a voltage of 51400 V and then enters a region in which there is a uniform magnet
zimovet [89]

Answer:

       F = 8.6 10⁻¹² N

Explanation:

For this exercise we use the law of conservation of energy

Initial. Field energy with the electron at rest

         Em₀ = U = q ΔV

Final. Electron with velocity, just out of the electric field

         Emf = K = ½ m v²

          Em₀ = Emf

          e ΔV = ½ m v²

          v =√ 2 e ΔV / m

          v = √(2 1.6 10⁻¹⁹ 51400 / 9.1 10⁻³¹)

           v = √(1.8075 10¹⁶)

           v = 1,344 10⁸ m / s

Now we can use the equation of the magnetic force

         F = q v x B

Since the speed and the magnetic field are perpendicular the force that

        F = e v B

        F = 1.6 10⁻¹⁹  1.344 10⁸ 0.4

       For this exercise we use the law of conservation of energy

Initial. Field energy with the electron at rest

         Emo = U = q DV

Final. Electron with velocity, just out of the electric field

         Emf = K = ½ m v2

          Emo = Emf

          .e DV = ½ m v2

          .v = RA 2 e DV / m

          .v = RA (2 1.6 10-19 51400 / 9.1 10-31)

           .v = RA (1.8075 10 16)

           .v = 1,344 108 m / s

Now we can use the equation of the magnetic force

         F = q v x B

Since the speed and the magnetic field are perpendicular the force that

        F = e v B

       F = 1.6 10-19 1,344 108 0.4

       F = 8.6 10-12 N
