Answer:

Explanation:

distance travelled s = 10 cm

speed v = 1.4 x 10⁶ m /s

v² = u² + 2as

u = 0

v² = 2as

( 1.4 x 10⁶ )² = 2 x a x .10

a = 9.8 x 10¹² m /s²

force on proton = mass x acceleration

= 1.67 x 10⁻²⁷ x 9.8 x 10¹²

= 16.366 x 10⁻¹⁵ N .

If magnitude of electric field be E

force on proton

= E x charge on proton

= E x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹

E x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ = 16.366 x 10⁻¹⁵

E = 10.22 x 10⁴ N/C

The direction of electric field will be positive x - direction .

b )

Speed of proton = 1.4 x 10⁶ m /s .

Assume an axon has an internal diameter of 1μm and a myelin sheath 1μm thick. The internal specific resistance is 100 Ω cm. For

SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

$1.27\times 10^{12}\Omega/m$

Explanation:

We are given that

Diameter=d= $\mu m$

Thickness= $1\mu m$

Radius= $r=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{1}{2}\mu m=0.5\times 10^{-6} m$

Using $1\mu m=10^{-6} m$

Dielectric constant=8

Resistance = $R=2\times 10^5\Omega cm^2$

Internal specific resistance=r=100 ohm cm= $100\times \frac{1}{100}\Omega-m=1\Omega m$

Using 1 m=100 cm

Internal resistance per unit length= $\frac{r}{A}=\frac{1}{\pi r^2}=\frac{1}{3.14\times (0.5\times 10^{-6})^2}=1.27\times 10^{12}\Omega/m$

Using $\pi=3.14$

Internal resistance per unit length= $1.27\times 10^{12}\Omega/m$

A bus moving along a level road increases its speed from 20 m/s to 35 m/s in 15.0s. What is the car's acceleration?

Ksju [112]

Explanation:

initial velocity U = 20m/s

Final velocity V = 35m/s

time = 15.0 secs

change in velocity = 35 - 15

= 20m/s

acceleration a = change in velocity/time V/t

a = (35-20)/15

a= 15/15

Hence, your acceleration is 1m/s^2

KengaRu [80]

If a ship will be sailing through warm and cold water, people think about making it less dense than the warmest water as they load the ship with cargo. I think you forgot to give the options along with the question. I hope that this is the answer that has actually come to your desired help.

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

The velocity is $v =0.333 \ m/s$ in positive x -direction

The speed is $s = 0.733 \ m/s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The distance from the house to truck is D = 20 m

The distance traveled back to retrieve wind-blown hat is d = 15

The distance from the wind-blown hat position too the truck is k = 20 m

The total time taken is t = 75 s

Generally when calculating the displacement the Justin's backward movement to collect his wind - blown hat is taken as negative

Generally Justin's displacement is mathematically represented as

$L = 20 - 15 + 20$

=> $L = 25 \ m$

Generally the average velocity is mathematically represented as

$v = \frac{L}{t}$

=> $v = \frac{25}{75}$

=> $v =0.333 \ m/s$

Generally the distance covered by Justin is mathematically represented as

$R = D+ d + k$

=> $R = 20 + 15 +20$

=> $R = 55 \ m$

Generally Justin's average speed over a 75 s period is mathematically represented as

$s = \frac{R}{ t}$

=> $s = \frac{55}{ 75}$

=> $s = 0.733 \ m/s$

A man, holding a weight in each hand, stands at the center of a horizontal frictionless rotating turntable. The effect of the we

Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

w = 2w₀ the angular velocity of man doubles

Explanation:

In this exercise, releasing the weights reduces the moment of inertia

I= I₀ / 2

Therefore, since the platform system plus man is isolated, the kinetic moment must be conserved

L₀ = L

I₀ w₀ = I w

I₀ w₀ = I₀ / 2 w

w = 2w₀

therefore the angular velocity of man doubles
