Answer:

The box will move to the right with increasing speed

Explanation:

According to Newton's second law:

$F=ma$ (1)

where

F is the net force on an object

m is the mass of the object

a is its acceleration

For the box in this problem, there is only one force acting on it: a force of 5 N from the left (so, to the right). This means that according to (1) the box will experience an acceleration: the direction of the acceleration is the same as the direction of the net force (so, to the right), therefore the box will move to the right and its speed will continue increasing due to fact that it is being accelerated.

A rifle fires a bullet at a velocity of 78 m/s, 40 degrees above the horizontal. Determine the height (h) above the starting pos

qwelly [4]

Answer:

H = Vy t - 1/2 g t^2 height of an object with an initial "vertical" velocity

at t sec after firing

Vy = 78 m/s * sin 40 = .643 * 78 m/s = 50.1 m/s

H = 50.1 * 6 - 1/2 * 9.8 * 6^2 = 300 m - 176 m = 124 m

Which change occurs when an atom undergoes alpha decay?

oee [108]

In an alpha decay, an atom emits an alpha particle. An alpha particle consists of 2 protons and 2 neutrons: this means that during this kind of decay, the original atom loses 2 protons and 2 neutrons from its nucleus.

This also means that the atomic number Z of the element (the atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus) decreases by 2 units in the process, while the mass number A (the mass number is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons) decreases by 4 units.

Starting from rest, a disk rotates about its central axis with constant angular acceleration. In 1.00 s, it rotates 21.0 rad. Du

ELEN [110]

With constant angular acceleration $\alpha$ , the disk achieves an angular velocity $\omega$ at time $t$ according to

$\omega=\alpha t$

and angular displacement $\theta$ according to

$\theta=\dfrac12\alpha t^2$

a. So after 1.00 s, having rotated 21.0 rad, it must have undergone an acceleration of

$21.0\,\mathrm{rad}=\dfrac12\alpha(1.00\,\mathrm s)^2\implies\alpha=42.0\dfrac{\rm rad}{\mathrm s^2}$

b. Under constant acceleration, the average angular velocity is equivalent to

$\omega_{\rm avg}=\dfrac{\omega_f+\omega_i}2$

where $\omega_f$ and $\omega_i$ are the final and initial angular velocities, respectively. Then

$\omega_{\rm avg}=\dfrac{\left(42.0\frac{\rm rad}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(1.00\,\mathrm s)}2=42.0\dfrac{\rm rad}{\rm s}$

c. After 1.00 s, the disk has instantaneous angular velocity

$\omega=\left(42.0\dfrac{\rm rad}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(1.00\,\mathrm s)=42.0\dfrac{\rm rad}{\rm s}$

d. During the next 1.00 s, the disk will start moving with the angular velocity $\omega_0$ equal to the one found in part (c). Ignoring the 21.0 rad it had rotated in the first 1.00 s interval, the disk will rotate by angle $\theta$ according to

$\theta=\omega_0t+\dfrac12\alpha t^2$

which would be equal to

$\theta=\left(42.0\dfrac{\rm rad}{\rm s}\right)(1.00\,\mathrm s)+\dfrac12\left(42.0\dfrac{\rm rad}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(1.00\,\mathrm s)^2=63.0\,\mathrm{rad}$
