Answer:

<em>The average acceleration of the object is 0.5 cm/s^2</em>. Answer: A)

Explanation:

<u>Average Acceleration</u>

The average acceleration of a moving object is the rate at which the speed changed over time in a specific period. It can be calculated as follows:

$\displaystyle \bar a=\frac{v_f-v_o}{t}$

Where vf is the final speed, vo is the initial speed and t is the time.

The speed-time shows the speed starts at 0 cm/s and ends at 4 cm/s over the 8 seconds period. The average acceleration is:

$\displaystyle \bar a=\frac{4-0}{8}=0.5$

The average acceleration is 0.5 cm/s^2

A) Correct. The average acceleration is 0.5 cm/s^2

B) Incorrect. The average acceleration is 0.5 cm/s^2

C) Incorrect. The average acceleration is 0.5 cm/s^2

D) Incorrect. The average acceleration is 0.5 cm/s^2

Question 11 (1 point)

Ainat [17]

Answer:

gravitational potential energy.

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy (GPE) can be defined as an energy possessed by an object or body due to its position above the earth surface.

Mathematically, gravitational potential energy is given by the formula;

$G.P.E = mgh$

Where,

G.P.E represents gravitational potential energy measured in Joules.

m represents the mass of an object.

g represents acceleration due to gravity measured in meters per seconds square.

h represents the height measured in meters.

This ultimately implies that, anytime there is height, the object must have gravitational potential energy.

Hence, an object possesses gravitational potential energy due to its height (position) and the earth's gravitational force.

A small 12.00 g plastic ball is suspended by a string in a uniform, horizontal electric field. If the ball is in equilibrium whe

notsponge [240]

Answer:

$Q = \frac{0.068}{E}$

where E = electric field intensity

Explanation:

As we know that plastic ball is suspended by a string which makes 30 degree angle with the vertical

So here force due to electrostatic force on the charged ball is in horizontal direction along the direction of electric field

while weight of the ball is vertically downwards

so here we have

$QE = F_x$

$mg = F_y$

since string makes 30 degree angle with the vertical so we will have

$tan\theta = \frac{F_x}{F_y}$

$tan30 = \frac{QE}{mg}$

$Q = \frac{mg}{E}tan30$

$Q = \frac{0.012\times 9.81}{E} tan30$

$Q = \frac{0.068}{E}$

where E = electric field intensity

What wave on the electromagnetic spectrum has the highest frequency?

Jet001 [13]

Answer:

Explanation:

Answer: Gamma rays

Gamma rays have the highest frequency.

What is an electromagnetic wave?

An electromagnetic wave requires no medium for its propagation.

It consists of a spectrum of different wavelengths.

Different wavelengths of rays have different energies and different frequencies.

Higher frequency rays have the highest energies.

What is gamma-ray?

These are ionized radiations.

Gamma radiations are obtained from the decay of the atomic nucleus.

It has the highest frequency which is why it can penetrate through matter.

It has the smallest wavelength and highest energy.

The frequency of gamma rays is more than 10^19 cycles per second and wavelength less than 100 picometers.

A man pushing a mop across a floor causes it to undergo two displacements. The first has a magnitude of 146 cm and makes an angl

svetlana [45]

Answer:

B = 191.26 cm

θ = -14.73°

Explanation:

given,

magnitude of the first displacement(A) = 146 cm

at an angle of 124°

resultant magnitude = 137 cm

and angle made with x-axis by the resultant(R) = 32.0°

component of A in X and Y direction

A x = A cos θ = 146 cos 120° = -73 cm

A y = A sin θ = 146 sin 120° = 126.4 cm

now component of resultant in x and y direction

R x = 137 cos 35°

= 112.2 cm

R y = 137 sin 35°

= 78.6 cm

resultant is the sum of two vectors

R = A + B

R x = A x + B x

B x = 112.2 - (-73) = 185.2 cm

B y = R y - A y

B y = 78.6 - 126.4 = -47.8 cm

magnitude of B

B = $\sqrt{B_x^2+B_y^2}$

B = $\sqrt{185.2^2+-47.8^2}$

B = 191.26 cm

angle $\theta = tan^{-1}\dfrac{-47.8}{185.2}$

θ = -14.73°

A long straight wire carries current to the right of the page. A rectangular loop is positioned directly under the wire in the p

slavikrds [6]

Answer:

Correct option A.

The net force exerted by this loop on the straight wire with the current is directed TOWARDS THE LOOP

Explanation:

The magnetic field exerts a force on a current-carrying wire in a direction given by the right-hand rule 1 (the same direction as that on the individual moving charges). This force can easily be large enough to move the wire since typical currents consist of very large numbers of moving charges.

Given that,

The wire's current is directed towards the right of the page.

The rectangular loops carry current in a clockwise direction.

Since the 'dot' field is increasing hence the induced magnetic field is 'cross', i.e. into the page and by the right-hand rule, the induced current is clockwise.

Then the magnetic field is into the page.

Since was known that

F= iL×B

Note the current is through the wire. Then, the length is in direction of the current.

Note: this equation gives the magnetic force that acts on a length L of a straight wire carrying a current (i) and immersed in a uniform magnetic field (B), that is perpendicular to the wire.

So, the magnetic field is always perpendicular to the current.

So using right hand rule,

F = i(L×B)

The length is to the right i.e. +x direction and the Magnetic field is perpendicular to the plane, i.e. in the +z direction

F = i (L•i × B•k)

F = iLB (i×k)

F = iLB•(-j)

F = -iLB•j

Then, the force is in the negative y-direction i.e. towards the loop.
