" when striking, the pike, a predatory fish, can accelerate from rest to a speed of 4.0 m/s in 0.11 s."

Physics

Kipish [7]3 years ago

In an uniform accelerated motion, the distance covered by the fish is given by:
S= \frac{1}{2}at^2
where
a is the acceleration
t is the time

The acceleration is equal to the increase in speed of the fish divided by the time taken:
a= \frac{v_f-v_i}{t}= \frac{4 m/s-0m/s}{0.11 s}=36.4 m/s^2
If substitute the acceleration into the first equation, we find the distance covered by the fish:
S= \frac{1}{2}at^2= \frac{1}{2}(36.4 m/s^2)(0.11 s)^2=0.22 m

An electron enters the gap between the plates of a capacitor at the center of the gap traveling parallel to theplates at 2.0 x 1
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

How far will the electron travel beforehitting a plate is 248.125mm

Explanation:

Applying Gauss' law:

Electric Field E = Charge density/epsilon nought

Where charge density=1.0 x 10^-6C/m2 & epsilon nought= 8.85× 10^-12

Therefore E = 1.0 x 10^-6/8.85× 10^-12

E= 1.13×10^5N/C

Force on electron F=qE

Where q=charge of electron=1.6×10^-19C

Therefore F=1.6×10^-19×1.13×10^5

F=1.808×10^-14N

Acceleration on electron a = Force/Mass

Where Mass of electron = 9.10938356 × 10^-31

Therefore a= 1.808×10^-14 /9.11 × 10-31

a= 1.985×10^16m/s^2

Time spent between plate = Distance/Speed

From the question: Distance=1cm=0.01m and speed = 2×10^6m/s^2

Therefore Time = 0.01/2×10^6

Time =5×10^-9s

How far the electron would travel S =ut+ at^2/2 where u=0

S= 1.985×10^16×(5×10^-9)^2/2

S=24.8125×10^-2m

S=248.125mm

10 turns of wire are closely wound around a pencil as shown in the figure. when measured using a scale as shown, the length of t
Mila [183]

Answer:

a. The thickness of the wire is 2.5 mm.

b. The wire is 0.25 cm thick.

Explanation:

Number of turns of the wire = 10

The length of total turns = 25 mm

a. The thickness of the wire can be determined by;

thickness of the wire = \frac{length of total turns}{number of turns}

                           = \frac{25}{10}

                           = 2.5 mm

Therefore, the wire is 2.5 mm thick.

b. To determine the thickness of the wire in centimetre;

10 mm = 1 cm

So that,

2.5 mm = x

x  = \frac{2.5}{10}

   = 0.25 cm

The wire is 0.25 cm thick.

A Ping-Pong ball has a mass of 2.3 g and a terminal speed of 9.4 m/s. The drag force is of the form bv^2 What is the value of b?
julia-pushkina [17]
Drag Force = bv^2 = ma; a = g = 9.81 m/s^2

b = mg/v^2 = (0.0023×9.81)/(9.4^2)

b = 0.000255

You have been assigned to investigate a traffic accident. The masses of car A and car B are 1300 kg and 1200 kg, respectively. C
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

The velocity of A before impact = 17.90 m/s

Explanation:

Coefficient of restitution = (speed of seperation)/(speed of approach)

= (v₁ - v₂)/(u₂ - u₁)

where v₁ = velocity of the car A after the impact = ?

v₂ = velocity of the car B after the impact = ?

u₂ = velocity of the car B before the impact = 0 m/s (it was initially at rest)

u₁ = velocity of car A before the impact = ?

First of, we can solve for v₂, the velocity of car B after the impact, from some of the information given in the question.

- Skid marks indicate car B slid 10 m after the impact

- The coefficient of kinetic friction the tires and road is 0.8.

According to the work energy theorem, the work done by frictional force in stopping the car B is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the car B. (All after collision)

W = ΔK.E

ΔK.E = (1/2)(1200)(v₂²) - 0 (final kinetic energy is 0 since the car comes to stop eventually)

ΔK.E = (600v₂²) J

W = F × d

where F = frictional force = μmg = 0.8×1300×9.8 = 10,192 N

d = distance the car skids over before stopping = 10 m

W = 10,192 × 10 = 101,920 J

W = ΔK.E

101,920 = 600v₂²

v₂² = (101920/600) = 169.867

v₂ = 13.03 m/s

But recall,

Coefficient of restitution = (v₁ - v₂)/(u₂ - u₁)

For the sake of convention, we take the direction of car A's initial velocity to be the positive direction.

u₁ = ?

u₂ = 0 m/s

v₁ = ?

v₂ = +13.03 m/s

Coefficient of restitution = 0.4

0.4 = (v₁ - 13.03)/(0 - u₁)

-0.4u₁ = v₁ - 13.03

v₁ = 13.03 - 0.4u₁

But this is a collision. In a collision, the linear momentum is usually conserved.

Momentum before collision = Momentum after collision

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂

1300u₁ + (1200×0) = 1300v₁ + (1200×13.03)

1300u₁ + 0 = 1300v₁ + 15639.95

1300u₁ = 1300v₁ + 15639.95

But recall, from the coefficient of restitution relation,

v₁ = 13.03 - 0.4u₁

Substituting this into the momentum balance equation.

1300u₁ = 1300v₁ + 15639.95

1300u₁ = 1300(13.03 - 0.4u₁) + 15639.95

1300u₁ = 16943.28 - 520u₁ + 15639.95

1820u₁ = 32,583.23

u₁ = (32,583.23/1820)

u₁ = 17.90 m/s

Therefore, the velocity of A before impact = 17.90 m/s

Hope this Helps!!!

Two charged objects, A and B, are exerting an electric force on each other. What will happen if the charge on A is increased?
ozzi

Answer: The forces acting on both of them will increase in magnitude.

Explanation:

According to Coulomb's law, the electrostatic force between two bodies is proportional to the product of their two charges. If the charge on A is increased this product increases in size (it must have been non-zero to begin with, since there was a force between them at first). Thus, the force between them rises.
