Answer:

(a) Ff = 0.128 N

(b μk = 0.1135

Explanation:

kinematic analysis

Because the hockey puck moves with uniformly accelerated movement we apply the following formulas:

vf=v₀+a*t Formula (1)

d= v₀t+ (1/2)*a*t² Formula (2)

Where:

d:displacement in meters (m)

t : time in seconds (s)

v₀: initial speed in m/s

vf: final speed in m/s

a: acceleration in m/s

Calculation of the acceleration of the hockey puck

We apply the Formula (1)

vf=v₀+a*t v₀=5.8 m/s , vf=0

0=5.8+a*t

-5.8 = a*t

a= -5.8/t Equation (1)

We replace a= -5.8/t in the Formula (2)

d= v₀*t+ (1/2)*a*t² , d=15.1 m , v₀=5.8 m/s

15.1 = 5.8*t+ (1/2)*(-5.8/t)*t²

15.1= 5.8*t-2.9*t

15.1= 2.9*t

t = 15.1 / 2.9

t= 5.2 s

We replace t= 5.2 s in the equation (1)

a= -5.8/5.2

a= -1.115 m/s²

(a) Calculation of the frictional force (Ff)

We apply Newton's second law

∑F = m*a Formula (3)

∑F : algebraic sum of the forces in Newton (N)

m : mass in kilograms (kg)

a : acceleration in meters over second square (m/s²)

Look at the free body diagram of the hockey puck in the attached graphic

∑Fx = m*a m= 115g * 10⁻³ Kg/g = 0.115g , a= -1.12 m/s²

-Ff = 0.115*(-1.115) We multiply by (-1 ) on both sides of the equation

Ff = 0.128 N

(b) Calculation of the coefficient of friction (μk)

N: Normal Force (N)

W=m*g= 0.115*9.8= 1.127 N : hockey puck Weight

g: acceleration due to gravity =9.8 m/s²

∑Fy = 0

N-W=0

N = W

N = 1.127 N

μk = Ff/N

μk = 0.128/1.127

μk = 0.1135

olga_2 [115]

Vf = Final velocity.
Vi = initial velocity
a = acceleration.
t = time

Vf = Vi + at

Vf = 0 + (2 m/s^2)(3s)

The electric field between the plates of the cathode ray tube of an older television set can be as high as 2.5x104 N/C. Determin

pentagon [3]

Answer:

(a) $F = -4.01 * 10^{-15} N$

(b) $a = 4.40 * 10^{15} m/s^2$

Explanation:

Parameter given:

Electric field, E = $2.5 * 10^4 N/C$

(a) Electric force is given (in terms of electric field) as a product of electric charge and electric field.

Mathematically:

$F = qE$

Electric charge, q, of an electron = $- 1.602 * 10^{-19} C$

$F = -1.602 * 10^{-19} * 2.5 * 10^4\\\\\\F = -4.01 * 10^{-15} N$

(b) This electrostatic force causes the electron to accelerate with an equivalent force:

F = -ma

where m = mass of an electron

a = acceleration of electron

(Note: the force is negative cos the direction of the force is opposite the direction of the electron)

Therefore:

$-ma = -4.01 * 10^{-15} N\\\\\\a = \frac{-4.01 * 10^{-15}}{-m}$

Mass, m, of an electron = $9.11 * 10^{-31} kg$

=> $a = \frac{-4.01 * 10^{-15}}{-9.11 * 10^{-31}}\\\\\\a = 4.40 * 10^{15} m/s^2$

The acceleration of the electron is $4.40 * 10^{15} m/s^2$

WGVU-AM is a radio station that serves the Grand Rapids, Michigan area. The main broadcast frequency is 1480kHz. At a certain di

Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

$\lambda = 202.7 \ m$

$w = 9.3 *10^{6} \ rad/s$

$k = 0.031 m^{-1}$

$E_{max} = 9.0 *10^{-3} \ V/m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The frequency of the radio station is $f= 1480 \ kHz = 1480 *10^{3}\ Hz$

The magnitude of the magnetic field is $B = 3.0* 10^{-11} \ T$

Generally the wavelength is mathematically represented as

$\lambda = \frac{c}{f}$

Here c is the speed of light with value $c = 3.0 *10^{8} \ m/s$

$\lambda = \frac{3.0 *10^{8}}{ 1480 *10^{3}}$

=> $\lambda = 202.7 \ m$

Generally the angular frequency is mathematically represented as

$w = 2 \pi * f$

=> $w = 2 * 3.142 * 1480 *10^{3}$

=> $w = 9.3 *10^{6} \ rad/s$

Generally the wave number is mathematically represented as

=> $k = \frac{2 \pi }{\lambda}$

=> $k = \frac{2 * 3.142 }{ 202.7}$

=> $k = 0.031 m^{-1}$

Generally the amplitude of the electric field at this distance from the transmitter is mathematically represented as

$E_{max} = c * B$

=> $E_{max} = 3.0 *10^{8} * 3.0* 10^{-11}$

=> $E_{max} = 9.0 *10^{-3} \ V/m$

What happens to the structure of an atom when the atom is ionised?

Phoenix [80]

Answer: Explanation:

If the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons then the atom is uncharged and is electrically neutral. However, atoms can gain or lose electrons: increasing or decreasing the negative charge. Ionisation is the addition or removal of an electron to create an ion. ..Gaining an electron creates a negative ion.

Explanation:

In a simple circuit a 6-volt dry cell pushes charge through a single lamp which has a resistance of 3 Ω. According to Ohms law the current through the circuit is _____________ Amps.

According to Ohm’s law V =I*R

Where V = Voltage, I = Current and R = Resistance

I = V/R =6/3 =2 Amps of current

Answer = 2 Amps

 If a second identical lamp is connected in series, the 6-volt battery must push a charge through a total resistance of ________ Ω. The current in the circuit is then __________ Amps.

Since the second lamp is connected in series with the first, the total resistance will R₂ = 3 + 3 = 6Ω

2 resistance in series R₂ = 6Ω

The current in the circuit with the two lamps connected in series is I₂ =V/R₂ =6/6 = 1 Amps

The current is 1 Amps

Answer = 6Ω and 1 Amps

If a third identical lamp is connected in series, the total resistance is now _________Ω. The current through all three lamps in series is now _________ Amps.

Since the third lamp is connected in series with the first and second, the total resistance will R₃ = 3 + 3 + 3 = 9Ω

total resistance of the 3 lamps R₃ = 9Ω

The current in the circuit with the three lamps connected in series is

I =V/R₃ =6/9 = 0.67 Amps

The current through the 3 lamps I₃ = 0.67 Amps

Answer = 9Ω and 0.67 Amps

The current through each individual lamp is __________ Amps.

Since all 3 lamps are connected in series, the same current will flow through each of the 3 lamps, and that current is I₃

The current through each individual lamp is 0.67 Amp

Answer = 0.67 Amp

If part of an electric circuit dissipates energy at 6 W when it draws a current of 3 A, what voltage is impressed across it?

Voltage V =P/I =6/3 =2 Volts

Answer = 2 Volts

If a 60 W light bulb at 120 V is left on in your house to prevent burglary, and the power company charges 10 cents per kilowatt-hour, how much will it cost to leave the bulb on for 30 days? Show your work.

24 hours make 1 day, so the number of hours the bulb was left on = 24 *30 = 720 hours

The power rating of the bulb is 60W = 60/1000 = 0.06 KiloWatt

Total power consumed in kilowatt-hour = 0.06 * 720 = 43.2 kilowatt-hour

Cost for 30 days = 0.1*43.2 = $4.32 ( note that 10 Cents = $0.1)

Answer = $4.32
