A truck travels to and from a stone quarry that is located 2.5km to the east.

Physics
1 answer:
Harrizon [31]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Distance is 5.0 km and displacement is 0 km.

Explanation:

The diagram is shown below.

Distance is the total length that the truck covers along the complete journey. The truck moves from a stone quarry covering a length of 2.5 km and then again come back to the same point and thus covering another 2.5 km. Therefore, the total length covered by the truck is the sum of forward and backward paths which is equal to 5.0 km.

Now, displacement depends only on the initial and final position. It is given as the difference of final position and initial position. So, the truck starts from stone quarry and returns back to the same position. So, the initial position and final position is same. Therefore, the difference is 0 and hence displacement is zero.

A mass spectrometer was used in the discovery of the electron. In the velocity selector, the electric and magnetic fields are se
Mama L [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Radius of dee, r = 8 mm = 0.008 m

Electric field, e = 400 V/m

Magnetic field, B = 4.7 x 10^-4 T

mass of electron, m = 9.1 x 10^-31 kg

charge of electron, q = 1.6 x 10^-19 C

(a) Let v is the speed of electrons.

v = \frac{Bqr}{m}

v = \frac{4.7\times 10^{-4}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 0.008}{9.1 \times 10^{-31}}

v = 661098.9 = 661099 m/s

(b)

\frac{e}{m}=\frac{1.6 \times 10^{-19}}{9.1\times 10^{-31}}

e / m = 1.76 x 10^14 C / kg

(c) Let K be the kinetic energy

K = 0.5 x mv²

K = 0.5 x 9.1 x 10^-31 x 661099 x 661099

K = 1.99 x 10^-19 J

K = 1.24 eV

So, the potential difference is

V = 1.24 V

(d) if the acceleration voltage is doubled

V = 2 x 1.24 = 2.48 V

So, Kinetic energy

K = 2.48 eV

K = 2.48 x 1.6 x 10^-19 = 3.968 x 10^-19 J

Let v is the speed

K = 0.5 x mv²

3.968 x 10^-19 = 0.5 x 9.1 x 10^-31 x v²

v = 933856.5 m/s

Let the new radius is r.

r=\frac{mv}{Bq}

r=\frac{9.1\times 10^{-31}\times 933856.5}{4.7\times 10^{-4}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}

r = 0.0113 m = 1.13 cm

What is the acceleration experiance by a car that takes 10s to reach 27m/s from rest
lina2011 [118]

Magnitude of acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change).

Change in speed  =  (27 - 0)  =  27 m/s
Time for the change = 10 s

Magnitude of acceleration =  (27 m/s) / (10 s)  =  2.7 m/s²  .

A cylinder with rotational inertia I1 = 3.0 kg · m2 rotates clockwise about a vertical axis through its center with angular spee
erastova [34]

Answer:

ω = 1.83 rad/s clockwise

Explanation:

We are given:

I1 = 3.0kg.m2

ω1 = -5.4rad/s (clockwise being negative)

I2 = 1.3kg.m2

ω2 = 6.4rad/s  (counterclockwise being positive)

By conservation of the momentum:

I1 * ω1 + I2 * ω2 = (I1 + I2) * ω

Solving for ω:

\omega = \frac{I1 * \omega1 + I2*\omega2}{I1+I2}=-1.83rad/s

Since it is negative, the direction is clockwise.
