38. Dr. John Paul Stapp was a U.S. Air Force officer who studied the effects of extreme acceleration on the human body. On Decem

ber 10, 1954, Stapp rode a rocket sled, accelerating from rest to a top speed of 282 m/s (1015 km/h) in 5.00 s and was brought jarringly back to rest in only 1.40 s. Calculate his (a) acceleration in his direction of motion and (b) acceleration opposite to his direction of motion. Express each in multiples of g (9.80 m/s2) by taking its ratio to the acceleration of gravity.

Answer:

a) acceleration = 5.75 g

b) acceleration = -20.5 g

Explanation:

Hi there!

The acceleration is the variation of the speed over time:

a (acceleration) = (final speed - initial speed) / time

a) The acceleration in the direction of the motion of Dr. Stapp is:

a = (282 m/s - 0 m/s) / 5.00 s = 56.4 m/s² * (1 g / 9.80 m/s² ) = 5.75 g

b) The acceleration opposite the direction of the motion of Dr. Stapp is:

a = (0 m/s - 282 m/s) / 1.40 s =  -201 m/s² * (1 g / 9.80 m/s² ) = -20.5 g

Which of acceleration, age, speed, temperature, and velocity are vector quantities?.
ollegr [7]

Velocity and acceleration are vector quantities whereas speed, temperature and age are not.

<h3>What is a vector quantity?</h3>

Vector is a quantity that has both magnitude and direction and is represented by an arrow whose direction is same as that of the quantity and length is proportional to the quantity's magnitude.

Vector has magnitude and direction but it does not have position. Velocity and acceleration both are vector quantities as they have magnitude and direction.

If the speed of an object remains same but direction changes then the object is accelerating. It is important to remember that acceleration and velocity aren't always in the same direction.

A wheelchair moves upward on a 7.1 degree ramp at a speed of 20km/h what is the horizontal velocity
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

If the wheelchair is up 7.1 ft. In hight the time of flight should be 0.664 seconds and the distance should be 12.108 ft.

Explanation: I divided the displacement by the time and I used the equation Vx = 20 km/m

Model a hydrogen atom as a three-dimensional potential well with Uo = 0 in the region 0 &lt; x a. 283 eV <br> b. 339 eV <br> c.
denis23 [38]

This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

Model a hydrogen atom as a three-dimensional potential well with U₀ = 0 in the region 0 < x < L, 0 < y < L and 0 < z < L, and infinite otherwise, with L = 1.0 × 10⁻¹⁰ m.

Which of the following is NOT one of the lowest three energy levels of an electron in this model?

a. 283 eV

b. 339 eV

c. 113   eV  

d. 226 eV        

Answer:

the lowest three energy are; 113 eV, 225 eV, and 339 eV.

Hence Option a) 283 eV is not among the three lowest energy

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Three dimension cube or particle in a cubic box

the energy value is given by;

E_{nx,ny,nz = ( n_x^2 + n_y^2 + n_z^2 ) × π²h"² / 2ml²

where h" = h/2π and h is Planck's constant ( 6.626 × 10⁻³⁴ m² kg / s )

m is mass of electron ( 9.1 × 10⁻³¹ kg )

l is length of side of box ( 1.0 × 10⁻¹⁰ m )

for ground level ( n_x = n_y = n_z = 1 )

so

( n_x^2 + n_y^2 + n_z^2 ) ×  π²h"² / 2ml²

since h" = h/2π

( n_x^2 + n_y^2 + n_z^2 ) × π²h² / (2π)²2ml²

so we substitute

E_{111 = ( 1² + 1² + 1² ) × [ π²( 6.626 × 10⁻³⁴ )² ] / [ (2π)² × 2 × 9.1 × 10⁻³¹ kg × ( 1.0 × 10⁻¹⁰)² ]

E_{111 = 3 × [ (4.333188779 × 10⁻⁶⁶) / ( 7.185072 × 10⁻⁴⁹ ) ]    

E_{111 = 3 × [ 6.03082165 × 10⁻¹⁸ ]

Now, we know that electric charge = 1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹

so

E_{111 = 3 × [ (6.03082165 × 10⁻¹⁸) / (1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹) ]

E_{111 = 3 × [ 37.645578 ]

E_{111 = 112.9 ≈ 113 eV

E_{211 = ( n_x^2 + n_y^2 + n_z^2 )  × π²h² / (2π)²2ml²

we substitute

E_{211 = ( 1² + 1² + 2² ) × [ 37.645578 ]

E_{211 = 6 × [ 37.645578 ]

E_{211 = 225.87 ≈ 226 eV

E_{221 = ( n_x^2 + n_y^2 + n_z^2 )  × π²h² / (2π)²2ml²

we substitute

E_{221 = ( 2² + 2² + 1² ) × [ 37.645578 ]

E_{211 = 9 × [ 37.645578 ]

E_{211 = 338.8 ≈ 339 eV

Therefore, the lowest three energy are; 113 eV, 225 eV, and 339 eV.

Hence Option a) 283 eV is not among the three lowest energy
