Answer:

-1 m/s

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of linear momentum, the sum of initial and final momentum should be equal. Momentum, p is expressed as the product of mass and velocity. Therefore, p=mv where m and v represent mass and velocity respectively. In this case

m_d v_d+m_u v_u=(m_d + m_u)v_c

Where subscripts d and u represent downwards and upwards respectively while c is common hence common velocity which is unknown in this case. Taking downwards as negative while upwards as positive then substituting -3 m/s for downward speed while 3 m/s for upward speed, the masses as given then

(2*-3)+(1*3)=(2+1)v

V=-1 m/s hence downward direction

A car's velocity as a function of time is given by vx(t)=α+βt2, where α=3.00m/s and β=0.100m/s3.
Mice21 [21]

1) Analyze the equation

Vₓ = α + β t²

Vₓ = 3.00 + 0.100 t²

That is a quadratic equation, so the graph is a parabola.

2) Therefore, take into account that the main points to draw a parabola are:

i) vertex

ii) concavity

iii) y-intercepts

iv) x - intercepts

Also, for all graphs you need the domain and the range.

3) Find the y-intercept (t = 0)

t = 0 ⇒ Vₓ = 3.00 + 0.100 (0)² = 3.00

4) Find the x-intercepts (Vₓ = 0)

Vₓ = 0 ⇒ 0 = 3.00 + 0.100 t²

⇒ t² = - 3.00 / 0.100 = -30.0. Since t² cannot be negative, there is not x-intercepts.

5) Concavity

Since, the coefficient of t² is positive, the parabola open upwards.

6) Vertex

It is the local minimum of the equation. You can find it by the first derivative

Vₓ' = 2×0.100 t = 0 ⇒ t = 0

Vₓ = 3.00 + 0.100 (0)² = 3.00 m/s

⇒ vertex = (0,3.00)

7) The domain is given t ∈ [0,5.00]

8) You can also build a table with several points in the domain

t =0; Vₓ = 3.00 + 0.100 (0)² = 0

t = 1; Vₓ = 3.00 + 0.100 (1)² = 3.10

t = 2; Vₓ = 3.00 + 0.100 (2)² = 3.40

t = 3; Vₓ = 3.00 + 0.100 (3)² = 3.90

t = 4; Vₓ = 3.00 + 0.100 (4)² = 4.60

t = 5; Vₓ = 3.00 + 0.100 (5)² = 5.50

9) Range: Vₓ ∈ [ 3.00, 5.50]

10) All that information permits you to put several points in a coordinate sysment and sketch the same graph as the shown in the figure attached.

Mark creates a graphic organizer to review his notes about electrical force. Which labels belong in the regions marked X and Y?
sveta [45]

Answer:

The correct answer is A

Explanation:

The question requires as well the attached image, so please see that below.

Coulomb's Law.

The electrical force can be understood by remembering Coulomb's Law, that  describes the electrostatic force between two charged particles. If the particles have charges q_1 and q_2, are separated by a distance r and are at rest relative to each other, then its electrostatic force magnitude on particle 1 due particle 2 is given by:

|F|=k \cfrac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}

Thus if we decrease the distance by half we have

r_1 =\cfrac r2

So we get

|F|=k \cfrac{q_1 q_2}{r_1^2}

Replacing we get

|F|=k \cfrac{q_1 q_2}{(r/2)^2}\\|F|=k \cfrac{q_1 q_2}{r^2/4}

We can then multiply both numerator and denominator by 4 to get

|F|=k \cfrac{4q_1 q_2}{r^2}

So we have

|F|=4 \left(k \cfrac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}\right)

Thus if we decrease the distance by half we get four times the force.

Then we can replace the second condition

q_{2new} =2q_2

So we get

|F|=k \cfrac{q_1 q_{2new}}{r_1^2}

which give us

|F|=k \cfrac{q_1 2q_2}{r_1^2}\\|F|=2\left(k \cfrac{q_1 q_2}{r_1^2}\right)

Thus doubling one of the charges doubles the force.

So the answer is A.

it will be same as the power of source

P = 3 mW

now the energy released by one photon is given as

E = \frac{hc}{\lambda}

E = \frac{6.6* 10^{-34}* 3 * 10^8}{760 * 10^{-9}}

E = 2.6 * 10^{-19} J

now let say N photons per second released

N * 2.6 * 10^{-19} = 3 * 10^{-3}

N = 1.15* 10^{16} per\: second
