When pushing a child on a swing, you must give them a push periodically to keep them moving. This seems to go against the law of

inertia and the conservation of energy.
When pushing a child on a swing, you must give them a push periodically to keep them moving. This seems to go against the law of inertia and the conservation of energy. Why does the child need a push periodically to keep moving.

A) Energy is lost over time slowing down the swing.
B) All objects will naturally come to rest over time.
C) A wind must have been blowing in the opposite direction.
D) Friction provides an outside force slowing the swing down.

Answer: D) Friction provides an outside force slowing the swing down.

Explanation: Inertia states that an outside force is needed to change the motion of an object. Friction provides an outside force slowing the swing down.

An electron at Earth's surface experiences a gravitational force of magnitude F=(9.11×10−31 kg)⋅(9.8 m/s2). Part A How far away
katrin [286]

Answer:

r = 5,085 m

Explanation:

The force exerted by on the surface of the Earth on an electron is its weight

          W = F = 9.11 10⁻³¹  9.8

          W = 8.9 10⁻³⁰ N

The electric force between an electron and a proton is given by Coulomb's Law

         Fe = k q₁ q₂ / r²

         Fe = - k q² / r²

They ask us that W = Fe

         W = k q² / r²

          r = √ k q² / W

Let's calculate

        r = √ 8.99 10⁹ (1.6 10⁻¹⁹)² /8.9 10⁻³⁰

        r = √ 25.86

        r = 5,085 m

Let's look for the relationship of this distance with the harmonic distance

        R / R_atomic = 5,085 / 10⁻¹⁰

        R / R_Atomic = 5 10¹⁰

We see that this distance is 10¹⁰ times the interatomic distance, so the gravitational attraction force is very small at atomic scale

A battery of emf 5V and internal resistance 2ohm is joined to a resistor of 8ohm.Calculate the terminal potential difference. ​
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

4V

Explanation:

First, we calculate the total resistance to the given battery cell of emf 5V. The total resistance is the sum of all the resistance in the cell i.e.

Total resistance = 2Ω + 8Ω = 10Ω

Using ohms law equation to calculate the current passing through the battery cell:

V = IR

Where; V = voltage, I = current, R = resistance

5V = I × 10Ω

I = 5/10

I = 0.5A

Terminal voltage is calculated by the us of the following equation:

V=emf−IR

Where; R is internal resistance

V = 5 - (0.5 × 2)

V = 5 - 1

V = 4V

Therefore, the potential difference across the terminals of the battery cell is 4V
