Answer:

$-3550.1 m/s^2$

Explanation:

The initial velocity of the ball is

u = +25.9 m/s (towards the wall)

while the final velocity of the ball is

v = -21.3157 m/s (away from the wall)

The time taken for the change in velocity to occur is

t = 0.0133 s

The acceleration can be calculated as the change in velocity divided by the time taken:

$a=\frac{v-u}{t}$

Substituting the numbers, we find:

$a=\frac{-21.3157-25.9}{0.0133}=-3550.1 m/s^2$

Find the work done "by" the electric field on a positively charged point particle with a charge of 2.1x10^-6 C as it is moved fr

Alexxx [7]

Answer

Work done will be $14.7\times 10^{-6}J$ and it will be positive

Explanation:

We have given charge $2.1\times 10^{-6}C$

We have to find work done in moving the charge from 15 volt to 8 volt

Let $V_1=15V\ and\ V_2=8volt$

So potential difference $V=V_1-V_2=15-8=7volt$

We know that work done $W=QV$ , here Q is charge and V is potential difference

So work done $W=QV=2.1\times 10^{-6}\times 7=14.7\times 10^{-6}J$

It will be positive work done because work is done in moving charge from higher potential to lower potential

What dose it mean to say that mass is conserved during a physical change

Allushta [10]

Explanation:

When there is no change in chemical composition of a substance then it is known as physical change.

When we say that mass is conserved during a physical change then it means that total mass of the substance or object will remain the same from beginning till the end.

For example, a metal box of mass 20 grams is beaten with hammer. Its shape will change which is a physical change and after beaten with the hammer its mass still remains 20 grams.

LenKa [72]

Answer : The de-Broglie wavelength of this electron, $0.101\AA$

Explanation :

The formula used for kinetic energy is,

$K.E=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$ ..........(1)

According to de-Broglie, the expression for wavelength is,

$\lambda=\frac{h}{mv}$

or,

$v=\frac{h}{m\lambda}$ ...........(2)

Now put the equation (2) in equation (1), we get:

$\lambda=\frac{h}{\sqrt{2\times m\times K.E}}$ ...........(3)

where,

$\lambda$ = wavelength = ?

h = Planck's constant = $6.626\times 10^{-34}Js$

m = mass of electron = $9.11\times 10^{-31}Kg$

K.E = kinetic energy = $4.71\times 10^{-15}J$

Now put all the given values in the above formula (3), we get:

$\lambda=\frac{6.626\times 10^{-34}Js}{\sqrt{2\times 9.11\times 10^{-31}Kg\times 4.71\times 10^{-15}J}}$

$\lambda=1.0115\times 10^{-11}m=0.101\AA$

conversion used : $(1\AA=10^{-10}m)$

Therefore, the de-Broglie wavelength of this electron, $0.101\AA$

1.Wave motion that is parallel to the wave direction is described

Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

A wave is a phenomenon that travels through a material medium without any permanent effect on the medium. It can be classified as mechanical or electromagnetic waves. And the two major types are transverse and longitudinal.

From the given question;

1. Longitudinal waves e.g sound waves, waves in a spring'

2. Frequency (number of cycles per second).

3. Wavelength of the wave. Measured in meters.

4. Transverse waves e.g light waves, water waves.

5. Wave speed.

6. Electromagnetic waves e.g ultraviolet waves, X-rays etc.

7. Amplitude.

8. Hertz.

9. Rarefaction

10. Compression

What is the difference between a hurricane watch and a hurricane warning

madreJ [45]

Answer:

Hurricane watch means hurricane conditions are expected in a specified area. As defined by National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), it means that hurricane conditions (sustained winds of 74 mph or greater) are possible within your area. WHILE,

Hurricane warnings means hurricane conditions are expected in an area.

So while hurricane watch may not occur, hurricane warnings will most likely occur. Watch is usually issued hours before the warning is.
