<h2>Acceleration due to gravity in moon is 1.5 m/s²</h2>

Explanation:

We have equation of motion s = ut + 0.5 at²

Here the ball travels 3 m less distance in fifth second compared to third second.

That is

           s₃ = s₅ + 3

Now we have

Distance traveled in third second, s₃ = u x 3 - 0.5 x g x 3² -  u x 2 - 0.5 x g x 2²

           s₃ = u - 2.5 g

Also

Distance traveled in fifth second, s₅ = u x 5 - 0.5 x g x 5² -  u x 4 - 0.5 x g x 4²

           s₅ = u - 4.5 g    

That is

           u - 2.5 g = u - 4.5 g + 3

             2 g = 3

                g = 1.5 m/s²

Acceleration due to gravity in moon = 1.5 m/s²

A system absorbs 194 kj of heat and the surroundings do 120 kj of work on the system. internal eneergy change
notsponge [240]
We can solve the problem by using the first law of thermodynamics, which states that:
\Delta U = Q-W
where
\Delta U is the change in internal energy of the system
Q is the heat absorbed by the system
W is the work done by the system

In our problem, the heat absorbed by the system is Q=+194 kJ, while the work done is W=-120 kJ, where the negative sign means the work is done by the surroundings on the system. Therefore, the variation of internal energy is
\Delta U= Q-W=+194 kJ - (-120 kJ)=+314 kJ

an electron is moving with a speed of 0.85c in a direction opposite to that of photon. calculate the relative velocity of the el
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

1.85c

Explanation:

a photon moves at c, the electron is moving at 0.85c, and since they are moving in opposing directions, the relative speed would be 1.85c

An atom in the ground state has a collision with an electron, then emits a photon with a wavelength of 1240 nm. What conclusion
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

attached below is the free body diagram of the missing  illustration

Initial kinetic energy of the electron = 3 eV

Explanation:

The conclusion that can be drawn about the kinetic energy of the electron is

E_{e} = E_{3}  - E_{1}

E_{e} = initial kinetic energy of the electron

E_{1} = -4 eV

E_{3} = -1 eV

insert the values into the equation above

E_{e} = -1 -(-4)  eV

   = -1 + 4 = 3 eV

In the diagram, q1= +8.0 C, q2= +3.5 C, and q3 = -2.5 C. q1 to q2 is 0.10 m, q2 to q3 is 0.15 m. What is the net force on q2? La
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

f(t) =  28,7 [N]

Explanation: IMPORTANT NOTE: IN PROBLEM STATEMENT CHARGES ARE IN C (COULOMBS) AND IN THE DIAGRAM IN μC. WE ASSUME CHARGES ARE IN μC.

The net force on +q₂  is the sum of the force of +q₁  on +q₂ ( is a repulsion force since charges of equal sign repel each other ) and the force of -q₃ on +q₂ ( is an attraction force, opposite sign charges attract each other)

The two forces have the same direction to the right of charge q₂, we have to add them

Then

f(t) = f₁₂ + f₃₂

f₁₂ = K * ( q₁*q₂ ) / (0,1)²

q₁  = + 8 μC     then   q₁ = 8*10⁻⁶ C

q₂ =  + 3,5 μC  then  q₂ = 3,5 *10⁻⁶ C

K = 9*10⁹  [ N*m² /C²]

f₁₂ = 9*10⁹ * 8*3,5*10⁻¹²/ 1*10⁻²   [ N*m² /C²]* C*C/m²

f₁₂ = 252*10⁻¹ [N]

f₁₂ = 25,2 [N]

f₃₂ =  9*10⁹*3,5*10⁻⁶*2,5*10⁻⁶ /(0,15)²

f₃₂ =  78,75*10⁻³/ 2,25*10⁻²

f₃₂ =  35 *10⁻¹

f₃₂ =  3,5 [N]

f(t) =  28,7 [N]
