Physics
1 answer:
mafiozo [28]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Zero

Explanation:

It is given that,

A person swims to the other end of a 20m long pool and back.

We need to find his displacement.

Displacement = shortest path covered

He reaches at the same position as from where he has started. It means the shortest path covered is equal to 0 i.e. his displacement is zero.

For a 50 kV anode voltage, what is the maximum photon energy of the x-ray radiation?
V125BC [204]

Answer:

The energy of photon, E=8\times 10^{-15}\ J

Explanation:

It is given that,

Voltage of anode, V=50\ kV=50\times 10^3\ V=5\times 10^4\ V

We need to find the maximum energy of the photon of the x- ray radiation. The energy required to raise an electron through one volt is called electron volt.

E=eV

e is charge of electron

E=1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 5\times 10^4

E=8\times 10^{-15}\ J

So, the maximum energy of the x- ray radiation is 8\times 10^{-15}\ J. Hence, this is the required solution.

A car is running at the speed of 45km/hr see a child 25 meter ahead and suddenly apllies a brakes. If the retradation of the car
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

The car stops in 7.78s and does not spare the child.

Explanation:

In order to know if the car stops before the distance to the child, you take into account the following equation:

x=x_o+v_ot-\frac{1}{2}at^2        (1)

vo: initial speed of the car = 45km/h

a: deceleration of the car = 2 m/s^2

t: time

xo: initial distance to the child = 25m

x: final distance to the child = 0m

It is necessary that the solution of the equation (1) for time t are real.

You first convert the initial speed to m/s, then replace the values of the parameters and solve the quadratic polynomial for t:

45\frac{km}{h}*\frac{1h}{3600s}*\frac{1000m}{1km}=12.5\frac{m}{s}

0=25+12.5t-2t^2\\\\2t^2-12.5t-25=0\\\\t_{1,2}=\frac{-(-12.5)\pm \sqrt{(-12.5)^2-4(2)(-25)}}{2(2)}\\\\t_{1,2}=\frac{12.25\pm 18.87}{4}\\\\t_1=7.78s\\\\t_2=-1.65s

You take the first value t1 because it has physical meaning.

The solution for t is real, then, the car stops in 7.78s and does not spare the child.
