A 12-kg lead brick falls from a height of 1.9 m. (c) The brick falls onto a carpet, 2.0 cm thick. Assuming the force stopping it

is constant, find the average force the carpet exerts on the brick.

Answer:

F = -11199.63 N

Explanation:

given,

mass of the brick = 12 Kg

height of the fall, h = 1.9 m

thickness of the carpet = 2 cm = 0.02 m

average force = ?

velocity of brick just before hitting mat

$v = \sqrt{2gh}$

$v =\sqrt{2\times 9.81\times 1.9}$

v = 6.11 m/s

velocity of brick just before hitting ground= 6.11 m/s

final velocity = 0 m/s

using equation of motion for acceleration calculation.

v² = u² + 2 a s

0² = 6.11² + 2x a x 0.02

$a = -\dfrac{6.11^2}{0.04}$

a =-933.3025 m/s²

now, average force is equal to

F = m a

F = 12 x (-933.3025)

F = -11199.63 N

negative sign represent the decelerating force.

An electron of mass 9.11 1031 kg has an initial speed of 3.00 105 m/s. It travels in a straight line, and its speed increases to

elena55 [62]

Explanation:

It is given that,

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

Initial speed of the electron, $u=3\times 10^5\ m/s$

Final speed of the electron, $v=7\times 10^5\ m/s$

Distance, d = 5 cm = 0.05 m

(a) The acceleration of the electron is calculated using the third equation of motion as :

$a=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2d}$

$a=\dfrac{(7\times 10^5)^2-(3\times 10^5)^2}{2\times 0.05}$

$a=4\times 10^{12}\ m/s^2$

Force exerted on the electron is given by :

$F=m\times a$

$F=9.11\times 10^{-31}\times 4\times 10^{12}$

$F=3.64\times 10^{-18}\ N$

(b) Let W is the weight of the electron. It can be calculated as :

$W=mg$

$W=9.11\times 10^{-31}\times 9.8$

$W=8.92\times 10^{-30}\ N$

Comparison,

$\dfrac{F}{W}=\dfrac{3.64\times 10^{-18}}{8.92\times 10^{-30}}$

$\dfrac{F}{W}=4.08\times 10^{11}$

Hence, this is the required solution.

Inside a vacuum tube, an electron is in the presence of a uniform electric field with a magnitude of 320 N/C. (a) What is the ma

nignag [31]

(a) The magnitude of the acceleration of the electron is 5.62 x 10¹³ m/s².

(b) The speed of the electron after the given time is 4.78 x 10⁵ m/s.

<h3>Acceleration of the electron</h3>

The acceleration of the electron is calculated as follows;

F = qE

ma = qE

a = qE/m

a = (1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ x 320)/(9.11 x 10⁻³¹)

a = 5.62 x 10¹³ m/s²

<h3>Speed of the electron</h3>

v = at

v = 5.62 x 10¹³ m/s² x 8.50 x 10⁻⁹ s

v = 4.78 x 10⁵ m/s

Suppose that the Hubble Space Telescope discovers a series of planets with the following characteristics moving around a star th

nalin [4]

Answer:

Option (D)

Explanation:

Terrestrial planets refers to those four planets that are nearest to the sun and that lies within the asteroid belt. These planets are mainly composed of rocks or other metal objects that have a hard and resistant surface on it. They have a metal core that is molten (liquid) in nature, and atmosphere is relatively less dense, and also various geological features are present on it like the crater, volcanoes which can be observed with the help of satellites. The average densities of these planets is about four times the density of water. For example, the density of water is 1 g/cm³, whereas the density of earth is 5.5 g/cm³.

Thus, the correct answer is option (D).

what is the main difference between a substance going through a physical change and one going through a chemical ?

Ainat [17]

Answer: Physical changes only change the appearance of a substance, not its chemical composition. Chemical changes cause a substance to change into an entirely substance with a new chemical formula. Chemical changes are also known as chemical reactions.

A 1-kg iron frying pan is placed on a stove. The pan increases from 20°C to 250°C. If the same amount of heat is added to a pan

sergejj [24]

Here mass of the iron pan is given as 1 kg

now let say its specific heat capacity is given as "s"

also its temperature rise is given from 20 degree C to 250 degree C

so heat required to change its temperature will be given as

$Q = ms \Delta T$

$Q = 1*s*(250 - 20)$

$Q = 1*s*230$

now if we give same amount of heat to another pan of greater specific heat

so let say the specific heat of another pan is s'

now the increase in temperature of another pan will be given as

$Q = ms'\Delta T$

$1*s*230 = 1* s' * \Delta T$

now we have

$\Delta T = (\frac{s}{s'})*230$

now as we know that s' is more than s so the ratio of s and s' will be less than 1

And hence here we can say that change in temperature of second pan will be less than 230 degree C which shows that final temperature of second pan will reach to lower temperature

So correct answer is

<u>A) The second pan would reach a lower temperature.</u>
