<h2>Potential energy lost by 10 N rock will be greater</h2>

Explanation:

Two rocks of 5N and 10N falls from the same height . Thus they will loose the potential energy.

The potential energy lost = mass x acceleration due to gravity x height

The potential energy lost by first 5 N rock = 5 h

Because weight of rock m g = 5 N

Similarly , the potential energy lost by 10 N Rock = 10 h

here weight of rock m g = 10 N

Thus comparing these two , the potential energy lost by 10 N rock is greater than that of 5 N rock .

Compare the wavelengths of an electron (mass = 9.11 × 10−31 kg) and a proton (mass = 1.67 × 10−27 kg), each having (a) a speed o
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

Part A:

The proton has a smaller wavelength than the electron.  

\lambda_{proton} = 6.05x10^{-14}m < \lambda_{electron} = 1.10x10^{-10}m

Part B:

The proton has a smaller wavelength than the electron.

\lambda_{proton} = 1.29x10^{-13}m < \lambda_{electron} = 5.525x10^{-12}m

Explanation:

The wavelength of each particle can be determined by means of the De Broglie equation.

\lambda = \frac{h}{p} (1)

Where h is the Planck's constant and p is the momentum.

\lambda = \frac{h}{mv} (2)

Part A

Case for the electron:

\lambda = \frac{6.624x10^{-34} J.s}{(9.11x10^{-31}Kg)(6.55x10^{6}m/s)}

But J = Kg.m^{2}/s^{2}

\lambda = \frac{6.624x10^{-34}Kg.m^{2}/s^{2}.s}{(9.11x10^{-31}Kg)(6.55x10^{6}m/s)}

\lambda = 1.10x10^{-10}m

Case for the proton:

\lambda = \frac{6.624x10^{-34}Kg.m^{2}/s^{2}.s}{(1.67x10^{-27}Kg)(6.55x10^{6}m/s)}

\lambda = 6.05x10^{-14}m

Hence, the proton has a smaller wavelength than the electron.  

<em>Part B </em>

For part b, the wavelength of the electron and proton for that energy will be determined.

First, it is necessary to find the velocity associated to that kinetic energy:

KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}

2KE = mv^{2}

v^{2} = \frac{2KE}{m}

v = \sqrt{\frac{2KE}{m}}  (3)

Case for the electron:

v = \sqrt{\frac{2(7.89x10^{-15}J)}{9.11x10^{-31}Kg}}

but 1J = kg \cdot m^{2}/s^{2}

v = \sqrt{\frac{2(7.89x10^{-15}kg \cdot m^{2}/s^{2})}{9.11x10^{-31}Kg}}

v = 1.316x10^{8}m/s

Then, equation 2 can be used:

\lambda = \frac{6.624x10^{-34}Kg.m^{2}/s^{2}.s}{(9.11x10^{-31}Kg)(1.316x10^{8}m/s)}    

\lambda = 5.525x10^{-12}m

Case for the proton :

v = \sqrt{\frac{2(7.89x10^{-15}J)}{1.67x10^{-27}Kg}}

But 1J = kg \cdot m^{2}/s^{2}

v = \sqrt{\frac{2(7.89x10^{-15}kg \cdot m^{2}/s^{2})}{1.67x10^{-27}Kg}}

v = 3.07x10^{6}m/s

Then, equation 2 can be used:

\lambda = \frac{6.624x10^{-34}Kg.m^{2}/s^{2}.s}{(1.67x10^{-27}Kg)(3.07x10^{6}m/s)}

\lambda = 1.29x10^{-13}m    

Hence, the proton has a smaller wavelength than the electron.

Inertia law what happens when You are standing on the bus and the bus stops abruptly:
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

You will fly forward in the bus until you hit something.

Explanation:

While standing there on the bus, you are traveling at the same speed as the bus. If the bus suddenly stops, you will still be traveling at the same speed you started with. That is until you hit something hard enough or big enough to stop you.

A 54.0 kg ice skater is gliding along the ice, heading due north at 4.10 m/s . The ice has a small coefficient of static frictio
lesya [120]

Answer:

a. 2.668 m/s

b. 0.00494

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

a. As we know that

W = F\times d

KE = 0.5\times m\times v^2

As the wind does not move the skater to the east little work is performed in this direction. All the work goes in the direction of the N-S. And located in that direction the component of the Force.

F = 3.70 cos 45 = 2.62 N

W = F \times d = 2.62 N \times 100 m

W = 261.6 N\times m

We know that

KE1 = Initial kinetic energy

KE2 = kinetic energy following 100 m

The energy following 100 meters equivalent to the initial kinetic energy less the energy lost to the work performed by the wind on the skater.

So, the equation is

KE2 = KE1 - W

0.5 m\times v2^2 = 0.5 m\ v1^2 - W

Now solve for v2

v2 = \sqrt{v1^2 - {\frac{2W}{M}}}

= \sqrt{4.1 m/s)^2 - \frac{2 \times 261.6 N\times m}{54.0 kg}}

= 2.668 m/s

b. Now the minimum value of Ug is

As we know that

Ff = force of friction

Us = coefficient of static friction

N = Normal force = weight of skater

So,

Ff = Us\times N

Now solve for Us

= \frac{Ff}{N}

= \frac{3.70 N \times cos 45 }{54.0 kg \times 9.81 m/s^2}

= 0.00494
