Answer:

v_f=20.52\frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

In this case the rock is under an uniformly accelerated motion. Thus, we use the kinematic equation that relates the final speed of an object with its initial speed, its acceleration and its traveled distance.

v_f^2=v_0^2+2a\Delta y\\v_f^2=v_0^2+2a(y_2-y_1)\\v_f^2=(15\frac{m}{s})^2+2(9.8\frac{m}{s^2})(20m-10m)\\v_f=\sqrt{421\frac{m^2}{s^2}}\\v_f=20.52\frac{m}{s}

<h2>Answer:</h2>

20.62m/s

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Using one of the equations of motion given by;

v² = u² + 2as     -------------------------(i)

where;

v = final velocity of the object (rock)

u = initial velocity of the object (rock) = 15m/s

a = acceleration due to gravity of the rock = g = +10m/s² (since the direction of the rock is downwards in the direction of gravity towards the flying bird).

s = distance traveled by the rock.

Notice that the rock is thrown from a 20m height to hit a bird flying at an altitude of 10m. This means that the distance (s) travelled by the rock is;

20m - 10m = 10m

Substituting the values of u, a and s into equation (i) gives;

v² = 15² + (2 x 10 x 10)

v² = 225 + 200

v² = 425

v = √425

v = 20.62m/s

Therefore the speed of the rock when it makes contact with the bird is 20.62m/s

A magnetic compass is placed near an insulated copper wire. When the wire is connected to a battery and a current is created, th
lawyer [7]

Explanation:

When the wire is connected to a battery, the compass needle moves and changes its position. This happens because the needle magnetizes the copper wire, thus,  creating a force.

While the current in the wire produces a magnetic field and exerts a force on the needle. The insulation on the wire becomes energized and exerts a force on the needle. Hence, the compass needle moves and changes its position.

In one of the classic nuclear physics experiments at the beginning of the 20th century, an alpha particle was accelerated toward
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

= 4.3 × 10 ⁻¹⁴ m

Explanation:

The alpha particle will be deflected when its kinetic energy is equal to the potential energy

Charge of the alpha particle q₁= 2 × 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ C = 3.2 × 10⁻¹⁹ C

Charge of the gold nucleus q₂= 79 × 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ = 1.264 × 10⁻¹⁷C

Kinetic energy of  the alpha particle = 5.28 × 10⁶ × 1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ J ( 1 eV)

=  8.459 × 10⁻¹³

k electrostatic force constant = 9 × 10⁹ N.m²/c²

Kinetic energy = potential energy =   k q₁q₂ / r where r is the closest distance the alpha particle got to the gold nucleus

r = (  9 × 10⁹ N.m²/c² × 3.2 × 10⁻¹⁹ C × 1.264 × 10⁻¹⁷C) / 8.459 × 10⁻¹³

= 4.3 × 10 ⁻¹⁴ m
