A proton with an initial speed of 800000 m/s is brought to rest by an electric field.

A) Higher potential

In order to stop the proton, it must be that the proton is moving against the direction of the electric field (=towards a positive charge, since it feels a repulsive force). This also means that the proton is moving from a region at lower electric potential to a region at higher electric potential (in fact, the electric potential is maximum near to the charge source of the field and it decreases as we move far away from it).

B) 3340 V

When the proton stops, the initial kinetic energy of the proton has been all converted into electric potential energy due to the field:

K = \Delta U\\\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = q\Delta V

where

m=1.67\cdot 10^{-27}kg is the mass of the proton

v=8\cdot 10^5 m/s is the proton's initial speed

q=1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C is the proton's charge

\Delta V is the potential difference

Solving for \Delta V, we find

\Delta V=\frac{mv^2}{2q}=\frac{(1.67\cdot 10^{-27}kg)(8\cdot 10^5 m/s)^2}{2(1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C)}=3340 V

C) 3340 eV

Since the proton has charge of q = +1 e, the electric potential energy gained by the proton is

\Delta U=q\Delta V=(1 e)(3340 V)=3340 eV

And due to the conservation of energy, the initial kinetic energy of the proton must be equal to this value.

Find the speed of a satellite in a circular orbit around the Earth with a radius 3.57 times the mean radius of the Earth. (Radiu
madam [21]

The speed of the satellite in a circular orbit around the Earth is 1.32 x 10⁵ m/s.

<h3>Speed of the satellite</h3>

v = √(GM/r)

where;

  • G is universal gravitation constant
  • M is mass of Earth
  • r is radius of the satellite

v = √(6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ x 5.98 x 10²⁴/3.57 x 6.37x 10³)

v = 1.32 x 10⁵ m/s

Thus, the speed of the satellite in a circular orbit around the Earth is 1.32 x 10⁵ m/s.

A 1.30-m string of weight 0.0125 N is tied to the ceiling at its upper end, and the lower end supports a weight W. Neglect the v
atroni [7]

Answer:

1. t = 0.0819s

2. W = 0.25N

3. n = 36

4. y(x , t)= Acos[172x + 2730t]

Explanation:

1) The given equation is

y(x, t) = Acos(kx -wt)

The relationship between velocity and propagation constant is

v = \frac{\omega}{k}=\frac{2730rad/sec}{172rad/m}\\\\

v = 15.87m/s

Time taken, t = \frac{\lambda}{v}

= \frac{1.3}{15.87}\\\\=0.0819 sec

t = 0.0819s

2)

The velocity of transverse wave is given by

v = \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}

v = \sqrt{\frac{W}{\frac{m}{\lambda}}}

mass of string is calculated thus

mg = 0.0125N

m = \frac{0.0125N}{9.8N/s}

m = 0.00128kg

\omega = \frac{v^2m}{\lambda}

\omega = \frac{(15.87^2)(0.00128)}{1.30}

\omega = 0.25N

3)

The propagation constant k is

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

hence

\lambda = \frac{2\pi}{k}\\\\\lambda = \frac{2 \times 3.142}{172}

\lambda = 0.036 m

No of wavelengths, n is

n = \frac{L}{\lambda}\\\\n = \frac{1.30m}{0.036m}\\

n = 36

4)

The equation of wave travelling down the string is

y(x, t)=Acos[kx -wt]\\\\becomes\\\\y(x , t)= Acos[(172 rad.m)x + (2730 rad.s)t]

without, unit\\\\y(x , t)= Acos[172x + 2730t]

A car battery has a rating of 250 ampere-hours. This rating is one indication of the total charge that the battery can provide t
Serga [27]

Answer:

Total charge provided by the battery could be 900000 C.

Maximum current provided by the battery for 37 minutes could be 405.405 A

Explanation:

Rating= 250 A-h

a. Total charge:

Rating=Q/t\\Q=Rating.t\\

Suppose t=1h

Q=250 A(1h)\\Q=250 A(3600 sec)\\Q= 900000 A.sec

We konw that Ampere=\frac{Coulomb}{sec}, replacing:

Q=900000(\frac{Coulomb}{sec})(sec)\\Q=900000 Coulomb

Total charge provided by the battery could be 900000 C.

b. Maximum current for 37 minutes

I=\frac{Q}{t} \\I=\frac{900000 C}{37*60 sec}\\I=405.405 A

Maximum current provided by the battery for 37 minutes could be 405.405 A

Longitudinal sound waves cannot propagate through
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

A vacuum

Explanation:

Sound waves are examples of mechanical waves. Mechanical waves are waves which are transmitted through the vibrations of the particles in a medium.

For example, sound waves in air consist of oscillations of the air particles, which vibrate back and forth (longitudinal wave) along the direction of propagation of the wave itself.

Given this definition of mechanical wave, we see that such a wave cannot propagate if there is no medium, because there are no particles that would oscillate. Therefore, among the choices given, the following one:

a vacuum

represent the only situation in which a sound wave cannot propagate through: in fact, there are no particles in a vacuum, so the oscillations cannot occur. In all other cases, instead, sound waves can propagate.
