To measure the acceleration due to gravity on a distant planet, an astronaut hangs a 0.070-kg ball from the end of a wire. The w

ire has a length of 1.5 m and a linear density of 3.10 10-4 kg/m. Using electronic equipment, the astronaut measures the time for a transverse pulse to travel the length of the wire and obtains a value of 0.078 s. The mass of the wire is negligible compared to the mass of the ball. Determine the acceleration due to gravity.

Answer:

g = 1.64m/s²

Explanation:

1.5m in 0.078s

V = 15 / 0.078

= 19.23m/s

Tension = mg

μ = 3.10 × 10⁻⁴

T = V²μ

mg =  V²μ

g =  V²μ / m

g = ((19.23)²(3.10 × 10⁻⁴)) / (0.070)

g = 1.64m/s²

How does an atom change if all of its electrons are removed?
Alex
<span>The atom becomes positively charged.

When you add electrons to a neutral atom, it is no longer a neutral atom, it has a negative change and is an anion. When you take away electrons from a neutral atom, it is no longer a neutral atom- it becomes a positive atom, and is a cation.</span>

ss7ja [257]
It does not violate the law of conservation of energy. The oscillation stops when the energy is lost and the energy is lost because it becomes heat that is created by the air resistance and many other forces found in the surrounding of the oscillating spring.

An electron is projected with an initial speed Vo = 5.35x10^6 m/s into the uniform field between the parallel plates. The direct
mart [117]

Answer:

 E = 3.04 10⁻⁵ N / C

Explanation:

In this problem we can use the kinematics to find how long it takes the electron to travel the plates

Let's start by reducing the magnitudes to the SI system

              vₓ = 5.35 10⁶ m / s

              x = 2 cm = 2 10⁻² m

              y = 1 cm = 1 10⁻² m

             x = vₓ t

             t = x / vₓ

             t = 2 10⁻² / 5.35 10⁶

             t = 3,738 10⁻⁹ s

This time is also the time it takes for vertical movement to go from the center to the plate, let's look for acceleration with Newton's second law

              F = m a

              a = F / m = e E / m

              y = v_{oy} + ½ a t²

              v_{oy} = 0

We replace

              y = ½ e / m E t²

              E = 2 y m / e t²

Let's calculate

            E = 2  1 10⁻²  9.1 10⁻³¹ / (1.6 10⁻¹⁹  3,738 10⁻⁹)

            E = 18.2 10⁻³³ / 5.98 10⁻²⁸

            E = 3.04 10⁻⁵ N / C
