It's lead.  That's why the "apron" is so heavy.

What is the change in potential energy if the distance separating the electron and proton is increased to 1.0 nm?
Vlada [557]

Answer:

Ep=-2.3*10^{-19}J

Explanation:

The change in potential energy can be expressed as:

Ep=K.\frac{q1.q2}{r}

where K is a constant with a value of 9*10^{9}\frac{N.m^{2}}{C^{2}}, q1 and q2 are the charges of the proton and the electron and r is the distance between them.

The charge for the proton is +1.6*10^{-19}C and the charge for the electron is -1.6*10^{-19}C.

Converting r=1.0nm to m:

1.0nm*\frac{1*10^{-9}m}{1.0nm}=1*10^{-9}m

Replacing values:

Ep=9*10^{9}\frac{N.m^{2}}{C^{2}}.\frac{(+1.6*10^{-19}C).(-1.6*10^{-19}C)}{1*10^{-9}m}

Ep=-2.3*10^{-19}J

If a ball rolls at constant velocity, it is rolling at constant speed? explain
Shtirlitz [24]
Velocity is speed with direction. So, if velocity varies directly with speed, that statement would be true. A constant velocity would resort in a constant speed. They are connected and are dependant on each other.

I hope this helps!

2. a) A disc rotates about its axis at speed 25 revolutions per minute and takes 15 s to stop. Calculate the
ASHA 777 [7]

The statement shows a case of rotational motion, in which the disc <em>decelerates</em> at <em>constant</em> rate.

i) The angular acceleration of the disc (\alpha), in revolutions per square second, is found by the following kinematic formula:

\alpha = \frac{\omega_{f}-\omega_{o}}{t} (1)

Where:

  • \omega_{o} - Initial angular speed, in revolutions per second.
  • \omega_{f} - Final angular speed, in revolutions per second.
  • t - Time, in seconds.

If we know that \omega_{o} = \frac{5}{12}\,\frac{rev}{s}, \omega_{f} = 0\,\frac{rev}{s} y t = 15\,s, then the angular acceleration of the disc is:

\alpha = \frac{0\,\frac{rev}{s}-\frac{5}{12}\,\frac{rev}{s}}{15\,s}

\alpha = -\frac{1}{36}\,\frac{rev}{s^{2}}

The angular acceleration of the disc is \frac{1}{36} radians per square second.

ii) The number of rotations that the disk makes before it stops (\Delta \theta), in revolutions, is determined by the following formula:

\Delta \theta  = \frac{\omega_{f}^{2}-\omega_{o}^{2}}{2\cdot \alpha} (2)

If we know that \omega_{o} = \frac{5}{12}\,\frac{rev}{s}, \omega_{f} = 0\,\frac{rev}{s} y \alpha = -\frac{1}{36}\,\frac{rev}{s^{2}}, then the number of rotations done by the disc is:

\Delta \theta = 3.125\,rev

The disc makes 3.125 revolutions before it stops.

An object of length 3.00 cm is inside a plastic block with index of refraction 1.40. If the object is viewed from directly above
Lilit [14]
  • The length of its image = -3cm

Given,

length of object, h_o = 3 cm

We know, for flat refracting surface,  

Image distance = object distance

So,

magnification is = -1

length of the image,

h_i = magnification * h_o\\\\h_i = -1 * 3 \\\\h_i = -3cm

Here, negative sign means inverted image.
