Starting from rest, a 2.3x10-4 kg flea springs straight upward. While the flea is pushing off from the ground, the ground exerts

Harman [31]

Answer:

3.13 m/s

Explanation:

From the question,

Since the flea spring started from rest,

Ek = W................... Equation 1

Where Ek = Kinetic Energy of the flea spring, W = work done on the flea spring.

But,

Ek = 1/2mv²............ Equation 2

Where m = mass of the flea spring, v = flea's speed when it leaves the ground.

substitute equation 2 into equation 1

1/2mv² = W.................... Equation 3

make v the subject of the equation

v = √(2W/m)................. Equation 4

Given: W = 3.6×10⁻⁴ J, m = 2.3×10⁻⁴ kg

Substitute into equation 4

v = √[2×3.6×10⁻⁴ )/2.3×10⁻⁴]

v = 7.2/2.3

v = 3.13 m/s

Hence the flea's speed when it leaves the ground = 3.13 m/s

HELP PLEASE!!!!!

MakcuM [25]

Answer:C

Explanation:All of the energy from the Sun that reaches the Earth arrives as solar radiation, part of a large collection of energy called the electromagnetic radiation spectrum. Solar radiation includes visible light, ultraviolet light, infrared, radio waves, X-rays, and gamma rays. Radiation is one way to transfer heat.

Two remote control cars with masses of 1.16 kilograms and 1.98 kilograms travel toward each other at speeds of 8.64 meters per s

Black_prince [1.1K]

The initial momentum of the system can be expressed as,

$p_i=m_1u_1+m_{2_{}}u_2$

The final momentum of the system can be given as,

$p_f=m_1v_1+m_{2_{}}v_2$

According to conservation of momentum,

$p_i=p_f$

Plug in the known expressions,

$\begin{gathered} m_1u_1+m_2u_2=m_1v_1+m_2v_2 \\ m_2v_2=m_1u_1+m_2u_2-m_1v_1 \\ v_2=\frac{m_1u_1+m_2u_2-m_1v_1}{m_2} \end{gathered}$

Initially, the second mass move towards the first mass therefore the initial speed of second mass will be taken as negative and the recoil velocity of first mass is also taken as negative.

Plug in the known values,

$\begin{gathered} v_2=\frac{(1.16\text{ kg)(8.64 m/s)+(1.98 kg)(-3.34 m/s)-(1.16 kg)(-2.16 m/s)}}{1.98\text{ kg}} \\ =\frac{10.02\text{ kgm/s-}6.61\text{ kgm/s+}2.51\text{ kgm/s}}{1.98\text{ kg}} \\ =\frac{5.92\text{ kgm/s}}{1.98\text{ kg}} \\ \approx2.99\text{ m/s} \end{gathered}$

Thus, the final velocity of second mass is 2.99 m/s.

A proton and an electron are released from rest, with only the electrostatic force acting. Which of the following statements mus

lbvjy [14]

Answer:

their electrical potential energy decreases. True, because of the negative sign as the distance decreases, it becomes more negative.

The kinetic energy increases. True, the force is attractive as the distance decreases the force increases, so acceleration and therefore the speed

Explanation:

The only force between the proton and the electron is electric

Fe = k q1q2 / r2

Fe = - k e2 / r2

We can see that it is an attractive force (negative sign)

The electric power energy is

U = k q1 q2 / r

U = -k e2 / r

The kinetic energy is

K = ½ m v2

With the expressions for each term we can analyze the sentences :

Their electric potential energy increases. False,

their electrical potential energy decreases. True, because of the negative sign as the distance decreases, it becomes more negative.

The kinetic energy increases. True, the force is attractive as the distance decreases the force increases, so acceleration and therefore the speed

Kinetic energy decreases False

The acceleration decreases. False, as the force increases so does the acceleration

7. How much work is done in moving a charge of 10 micro coulombs 1 meter along an equipotential of 10 volts?

Neko [114]

It takes work to push charge through a change of potential.
There's no change of potential along an equipotential path,
so that path doesn't require any work.
