Answer:

B. 0.16 m

Explanation:

The vertical distance by which the player will miss the target is equal to the vertical distance covered by the dart during its motion.

Since the dart is thrown horizontally, the initial vertical velocity is zero:

v_y = 0

While the horizontal velocity is

v_x = 15 m/s

The horizontal distance covered is

d_x = 2.7 m

Since the dart moves by uniform motion along the horizontal direction, the time it takes for covering this distance is

t=\frac{d_x}{v_x}=\frac{2.7 m}{15 m/s}=0.18 s

along the vertical direction, the motion is a uniformly accelerated motion with constant downward acceleration g=9.8 m/s^2, so the vertical distance covered is given by

d_y = \frac{1}{2}gt^2=\frac{1}{2}(9.8 m/s^)(0.18 s)^2=0.16 m

Two cars, one of mass 1400 kg, and the
Vikki [24]

Suppose that, in the x-y plane, the first car is moving to the right so that its velocity is given by the vector

v₁ = (14 m/s) i

and the second car is moving upward so that its velocity vector is

v₂ = (20 m/s) j

Then the total momentum of two cars before their collision is

m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ = (1400 kg) (14 m/s) i + (2300 kg) (20 m/s) j

= (19,600 i + 46,000 j) kg•m/s

Their momentum after the collision is

(1400 kg + 2300 kg) v = (3700 kg) v

where v is the velocity vector of the wreckage.

By conservation of momentum,

(19,600 i + 46,000 j) kg•m/s = (3700 kg) v

Let a and b be the horizontal and vertical components of v, respectively. Then

19,600 kg•m/s = (3700 kg) a   ⇒   a ≈ 5.2973 m/s ≈ 5.3 m/s

46,000 kg•m/s = (3700 kg) b   ⇒   b ≈ 12.4324 m/s ≈ 12 m/s

so that the final speed of the wreckage is

||v|| = √(a² + b²) ≈ 13.5139 m/s ≈ 14 m/s

An electron and a proton have the same kinetic energy upon entering a region of constant magnetic field and their velocity vecto
kupik [55]

Answer: rp/re= me/mp= 544 * 10^-6.

Explanation: To calculate this problem we have to consider the circular movement by the electron and proton inside a magnetic field.

Then the dynamic equation for the circular movement is given by:

Fcentripetal= m*ω^2.r

q*v*B=m*ω^2.r

we write this for each particle then we have the following:

q*v*B=me* ω^2*re

q*v*B=mp* ω^2*rp

rp/re=me/mp=9.1*10^-31/1.67*10^-27=544*10^-6
