Answer:

An example of kinetic energy is a car coming to a stop

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is the energy that a body or system possesses due to its movement. In physics this energy is defined as the amount of work necessary to accelerate a body of a certain mass and in rest position, until reaching a certain speed. This energy obtained will remain unchanged as long as this body does not vary its speed. That is, kinetic energy measures how many changes an object that is moving can cause.

An example of kinetic energy is a car coming to a stop. If the car is moving and comes to a stop, there is a change in speed, therefore in movement, eventually producing a change in kinetic energy. This energy depends on the mass of the body, in this case the car, and the speed. As the speed decreases, the kinetic energy will decrease.

Answer:

Velocity of the electron in the beam.

Radius of the circulating electrons due to the magnetic field.

Explanation:

We have a Mathematical expression for the force on a moving charge in a magnetic field as:

$F=q.v.B.sin \theta$ ...........................(1)

where:

q= charge on the particle in coulomb

v= velocity of the charge projected into the magnetic field

B= intensity of the magnetic field in tesla

$\theta$ = angle between the velocity and direction of magnetic field

For the forces on rotating mass we have the formula:

$F=m.\frac{v^2}{r}$ ..........................................(2)

where:

m= mass of the charged particle

v= velocity of projection of charge into the magnetic field

r= radius of the path traced by the charge in the magnetic field

From eq. (1) and (2) we can calculate the magnetic field .

Now,

Using Ampere's Law we have:

$B = \frac{\mu_0 .I}{2 \pi r}$

where:

I= current in the wire

$\mu_0=$ The permeability of free space.

r= radial distance from the current carrying wire( in this case it is same as the radius of the circular path)

An object is launched from the top of a building which is 100 m tall (relative to the ground) at a speed of 22 m/s at an angle o

klio [65]

Answer:

$3.58\:\mathrm{s}$

Explanation:

We can use the kinematics equation $\Delta y=v_it+\frac{1}{2}at^2$ to solve this problem. To find the initial vertical velocity, find the vertical component of the object's initial velocity using basic trigonometry for right triangles:

$\sin28^{\circ}=\frac{y}{22},\\y=22\sin28^{\circ}=10.3283743813\:\mathrm{m/s}$

Now we can substitute values in our kinematics equation:

$\Delta y=-100$
$a=-9.8\:\mathrm{m/s^2}$ (acceleration due to gravity)
$v_i=-10.3283743813\:\mathrm{m/s}$
Solving for $t$

$-100=-10.3283743813t+\frac{1}{2}\cdot -9.8\cdot t^2,\\\\-4.9t^2-10.3283743813t+100=0,\\\\\boxed{t=3.5849312673637455}, t=-5.692762773751501\:\text{(Extraneous)}$

What is the frequency of a photon that has the same momentum as a neutron moving with a speed of 1.90 × 103 m/s?

Minchanka [31]

The mass of a neutron is:
$m=1.67 \cdot 10^{-27}kg$
Since we know its speed, we can calculate the neutron's momentum:
$p=mv=(1.67 \cdot 10^{-27}kg)(1.90 \cdot 10^3 m/s)=3.17 \cdot 10^{-24} kg m/s$

The problem says the photon has the same momentum of the neutron, p. The photon momentum is given by
$p= \frac{h}{\lambda}$
where h is the Planck constant, and $\lambda$ is the photon wavelength. If we re-arrange the equation and we use the momentum we found before, we can calculate the photon's wavelength:
$\lambda= \frac{h}{p}= \frac{6.6 \cdot 10^{-34}Js}{3.17 \cdot 10^{-24} kg m/s}=2.08 \cdot 10^{-10} m$

And since we know the photon travels at speed of light c, we can now calculate the photon frequency:
$f= \frac{c}{\lambda}= \frac{3 \cdot 10^8 m/s}{2.08 \cdot 10^{-10} m}= 1.44 \cdot 10^{18} Hz$

Which data storage device will not have its data scrambled by a magnet?

frutty [35]

Solid state drives. Hard disk drives use a rotating platter that has data written by magnets, so having a strong magnet near one will corrupt its data. Solid state drives on the other hand, use electrical switches and no mechanical pieces. They are also generally faster than hard drives.
