Part a)

Magnitude of electric field is given by force per unit charge

E = \frac{F}{q}

E = \frac{4.3 * 10^{-6}}{2 * 10^{-9}}

E = 2150 N/C

Part b)

Electrostatic force on the proton is given as

F = qE

F = 1.6 * 10^{-19} * 2150

F = 3.44 * 10^{-16} N

PART C)

Gravitational force is given by

F_g = mg

F_g = 1.6 * 10^{-27}*9.8

F_g = 1.57 * 10^{-26} N

PART d)

Ratio of electric force to weight

\frac{F_e}{F_g} = \frac{3.44 * 10^{-16}}{1.57*10^{-26}}

\frac{F_e}{F_g} = 2.2 * 10^{10}

After the box comes to rest at position x1, a person starts pushing the box, giving it a speed v1. when the box reaches position
KiRa [710]

As we know by work energy theorem

total work done = change in kinetic energy

so here we can say that wok done on the box will be equal to the change in kinetic energy of the system

W_p = KE_f - KE_i

initial the box is at rest at position x = x1

so initial kinetic energy will be ZERO

at final position x = x2 final kinetic energy is given as

KE_f = \frac{1}{2}mv_1^2

now work done is given as

W_p = \frac{1}{2}mv_1^2 - 0

so we can say

W_p = \frac{1}{2}mv_1^2

so above is the work done on the box to slide it from x1 to x2

A football player with a mass of 88 kg and a speed of 2.0 m/s collides head-on with a player from the opposing team whose mass i
Ket [755]

Answer:

Speed of another player, v₂ = 1.47 m/s

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of football player, m₁ = 88 kg

Speed of player, v₁ = 2 m/s

Mass of player of opposing team, m₂ = 120 kg

The players stick together and are at rest after the collision. It shows an example of inelastic collision. Using the conservation of linear momentum as :

m_1v_1+m_2v_2=(m_1+m_2)V

V is the final velocity after collision. Here, V = 0 as both players comes to rest after collision.

v_2=-\dfrac{m_1v_1}{m_2}

v_2=-\dfrac{88\ kg\times 2\ m/s}{120\ kg}

v_2=-1.47\ m/s

So, the speed of another player is 1.47 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

The frequency of the George Washington Bridge is 2.05 Hz. What is its period?
Zina [86]

Answer: 0.5 seconds

Explanation:

Given that:

Frequency of the George Washington Bridge F = 2.05 Hz

Period T = ?

Recall that frequency is the number of cycles a wave can complete in one second. Hence, frequency is the inverse of period.

i.e F = 1/T

2.05Hz = 1/T

T = 1/2.05Hz

T = 0.488 seconds (Rounded to the nearest tenth as 0.5seconds)

Thus, the period of the George Washington Bridge is 0.5 seconds

Please help me

-- We know that the y-component of acceleration is the derivative of the
y-component of velocity.

-- We know that the y-component of velocity is the derivative of the
y-component of position.

-- We're given the y-component of position as a function of time.

So, finding the velocity and acceleration is simply a matter of differentiating
the position function ... twice.

Now, the position function may look big and ugly in the picture.  But with the
exception of  't' , everything else in the formula is constants, so we don't even
need any fancy processes of differentiation.  The toughest part of this is going
to be trying to write it out, given the text-formatting capabilities of the wonderful
envelope-pushing website we're working on here.

From the picture . . . . . y (t) = (1/2) (a₀ - g) t² - (a₀ / 30t₀⁴ ) t⁶

First derivative . . . y' (t) = (a₀ - g) t  -  6 (a₀ / 30t₀⁴ ) t⁵  =  (a₀ - g) t  -  (a₀ / 5t₀⁴ ) t⁵

There's your velocity . . . /\ .

Second derivative . . . y'' (t) = (a₀ - g) -  5 (a₀ / 5t₀⁴ ) t⁴ = (a₀ - g) -  (a₀ /t₀⁴ ) t⁴

and there's your acceleration . . . /\ .
That's the one you're supposed to graph.

a₀ is the acceleration due to the model rocket engine thrust
     combined with the mass of the model rocket
'g' is the acceleration of gravity ... 9.8 m/s² or 32.2 ft/sec²
t₀  is how long the model rocket engine burns

Pick, or look up, some reasonable figures for a₀ and t₀
and you're in business.

The big name in model rocketry is Estes.  Their website will give you
all the real numbers for thrust and burn-time of their engines, if you
want to follow it that far.
