Answer:

A) v3 = -[6.29 × 10^(6)]j^ - [7.06 × 10^(6)]i^

B) K_total = 373.08 × 10^(-15) J

Explanation:

We are given;

Mass of unstable atomic nucleus; M = 1.83 × 10^(-26) kg

Mass of first particle; m1 = 5.03 × 10^(-27) kg

Speed of first particle in y-direction; v1 = (6 × 10^(6) m/s) j^

Mass of second particle; m2 = 8.47 × 10^(-27) kg

Speed of second particle in x - direction; v2 = (4 × 10^(6) m/s) i^

Now, we don't have the mass of the third particle but since we are told the unstable atomic nucleus disintegrates into 3 particles, thus;

M = m1 + m2 + m3

1.83 × 10^(-26) = (5.03 × 10^(-27)) + (8.47 × 10^(-27)) + m3

m3 = (1.83 × 10^(-26)) - (13.5 × 10^(-27))

m3 = 4.8 × 10^(-27) kg

A) Applying law of conservation of momentum, we have;

MV = (m1 × v1) + (m2 × v2) + (m3 × v3)

Now, the unstable atomic nucleus was at rest before disintegration, thus V = 0 m/s.

Thus, we now have;

0 = (m1 × v1) + (m2 × v2) + (m3 × v3)

We want to find the velocity of the third particle v3. Let's make it the subject of the formula;

v3 = [(m1 × v1) + (m2 × v2)]/(-m3)

Plugging in the relevant values, we have;

v3 = [(5.03 × 10^(-27) × 6 × 10^(6))j^ + (8.47 × 10^(-27) × 4 × 10^(6))i^]/(-4.8 × 10^(-27))

v3 = [(30.18 × 10^(-21))j^ + (33.88 × 10^(-21))i^]/(-4.8 × 10^(-27))

v3 = -[6.29 × 10^(6)]j^ - [7.06 × 10^(6)]i^

B) Formula for kinetic energy is;

K = ½mv²

Now,total kinetic energy is;

K_total = K1 + K2 + K3

K1 = ½ × 5.03 × 10^(-27) × (6 × 10^(6))²

K1 = 90.54 × 10^(-15) J

K2 = ½ × 8.47 × 10^(-27) × (4 × 10^(6))²

K2 = 67.76 × 10^(-15)

To find K3, let's first find the magnitude of v3 because it's still in vector form.

Thus;

v3 = √[(-6.29 × 10^(6))² + (-7.06 × 10^(6))²]

v3 = 9.46 × 10^(6) m/s

K3 = ½ × 4.8 × 10^(-27) × (9.46 × 10^(6))²

K3 = 214.78 × 10^(-15) J

K_total = (90.54 × 10^(-15)) + (67.76 × 10^(-15)) + (214.78 × 10^(-15))

K_total = 373.08 × 10^(-15) J

Rain drops fall on a tile surface at a density of 4638 drops/ft2. There are 17 tiles/ft2. How many drops fall on each tile? Answ

Vinil7 [7]

Answer: 272.82 drop/tile

Explanation:

Given that the Rain drops fall on a tile surface at a density of 4638 drops/ft2. There are 17 tiles/ft2. How many drops fall on each tile?

Tiles/ft^2 × drop/tiles = drop/ft^2

Tiles will cancel out. Leaving the answer to be drop/ ft^2

Substitutes all the magnitude of the above units.

17 × drop/tiles = 4638

Make drop/tiles the subject of formula

Drop/tiles = 4638/17

Drop/tiles = 272.82

Therefore, 272.82 drop/tile drops fall on each tile?

Superman is flying 54.5 m/s when he sees

Nady [450]

348.34 m/s. When Superman reaches the train, his final velocity will be 348.34 m/s.

To solve this problem, we are going to use the kinematics equations for constant aceleration. The key for this problem are the equations $d=v_{0} t+\frac{at^{2} }{2}$ and $v_{f} =v_{0} +at$ where $d$ is distance, $v_{0}$ is the initial velocity, $v_{f}$ is the final velocity, $t$ is time, and $a$ is aceleration.

Superman's initial velocity is $v_{0}=54.5\frac{m}{s}$ , and he will have to cover a distance d = 850m in a time t = 4.22s. Since we know $d$ , $v_{0}$ and $t$ , we have to find the aceleration $a$ in order to find $v_{f}$ .

From the equation $d=v_{0} t+\frac{at^{2} }{2}$ we have to clear $a$ , getting the equation as follows: $a=\frac{2(d-v_{0}t) }{t^{2} }$ .

Substituting the values:

$a=\frac{2(850m-54.5\frac{m}{s}.4.22s) }{(4.22s)^{2}}=69.63\frac{m}{s^{2}}$

To find $v_{f}$ we use the equation $v_{f} =v_{0} +at$ .

Substituting the values:

$v_{f} =54.5\frac{m}{s} +(69.63\frac{m}{s^{2}}.4.22s)=348.34\frac{m}{s}$

At the moment t = 0, a 20.0 V battery is connected to a 5.00 mH coil and a 6.00 Ω resistor. (a) Immediately thereafter, how does

insens350 [35]

(a) On the coil: 20 V, on the resistor: 0 V

The sum of the potential difference across the coil and the potential difference across the resistor is equal to the voltage provided by the battery, V = 20 V:

$V = V_R + V_L$

The potential difference across the inductance is given by

$V_L(t) = V e^{-\frac{t}{\tau}}$ (1)

where

$\tau = \frac{L}{R}=\frac{0.005 H}{6.00 \Omega}=8.33\cdot 10^{-4} s$ is the time constant of the circuit

At time t=0,

$V_L(0) = V e^0 = V = 20 V$

So, all the potential difference is across the coil, therefore the potential difference across the resistor will be zero:

$V_R = V-V_L = 20 V-20 V=0$

(b) On the coil: 0 V, on the resistor: 20 V

Here we are analyzing the situation several seconds later, which means that we are analyzing the situation for

$t >> \tau$

Since $\tau$ is at the order of less than milliseconds.

Using eq.(1), we see that for $t >> \tau$ , the exponential becomes zero, and therefore the potential difference across the coil is zero:

$V_L = 0$

Therefore, the potential difference across the resistor will be

$V_R = V-V_L = 20 V- 0 = 20 V$

(c) Yes

The two voltages will be equal when:

$V_L = V_R$ (2)

Reminding also that the sum of the two voltages must be equal to the voltage of the battery:

$V=V_L +V_R$

And rewriting this equation,

$V_R = V-V_L$

Substituting into (2) we find

$V_L = V-V_L\\2V_L = V\\V_L=\frac{V}{2}=10 V$

So, the two voltages will be equal when they are both equal to 10 V.

(d) at $t=5.77\cdot 10^{-4}s$

We said that the two voltages will be equal when

$V_L=\frac{V}{2}$

Using eq.(1), and this last equation, this means

$V e^{-\frac{t}{\tau}} = \frac{V}{2}$

And solving the equation for t, we find the time t at which the two voltages are equal:

$e^{-\frac{t}{\tau}}=\frac{1}{2}\\-\frac{t}{\tau}=ln(1/2)\\t=-\tau ln(0.5)=-(8.33\cdot 10^{-4} s)ln(0.5)=5.77\cdot 10^{-4}s$

(e-a) -19.2 V on the coil, 19.2 V on the resistor

Here we have that the current in the circuit is

$I_0 = 3.20 A$

The problem says this current is stable: this means that we are in a situation in which $t>>\tau$ , so the coil has no longer influence on the circuit, which is operating as it is a normal circuit with only one resistor. Therefore, we can find the potential difference across the resistor using Ohm's law

$V=I_0 R = (3.20 A)(6.0 \Omega)=19.2 V$

Then the battery is removed from the circuit: this means that the coil will discharge through the resistor.

The voltage on the coil is given by

$V_L(t) = -V e^{-\frac{t}{\tau}}$ (1)

which means that it is maximum at the moment when the battery is disconnected, when t=0:

$V_L(0)=.V$

And V this time is the voltage across the resistor, 19.2 V (because the coil is now connected to the resistor, not to the battery). So, the voltage across the coil will be -19.2 V, and the voltage across the resistor will be the same in magnitude, 19.2 V (since the coil and the resistor are connected to the same points in the circuit): however, the signs of the potential difference will be opposite.

(e-b) 0 V on both

After several seconds,

$t>>\tau$

If we use this approximation into the formula

$V_L(t) = -V e^{-\frac{t}{\tau}}$ (1)

We find that

$V_L = 0$

And since now the resistor is directly connected to the coil, the voltage in the resistor will be the same as the coil, so 0 V. This means that the coil has completely discharged, and current is no longer flowing through the circuit.
