<span>So we want to know what happens to the momentum of the ball that rolls down hill and hits a box. So we need to use the law of conservation of momentum which states that the momentum must be conserved. It cant be transformed into inertia or mass. It can only be transferred to other object via some interactions like collisions. So it has to be a. transferred to the box and that is the correct answer. </span>

An alpha particle (Î±), which is the same as a helium-4 nucleus, is momentarily at rest in a region of space occupied by an elec

Answer:

Speed = 575 m/s

Mechanical energy is conserved in electrostatic, magnetic and gravitational forces.

Explanation:

Given :

Potential difference, U = $-3.45 \times 10^{-3} \ V$

Mass of the alpha particle, $m_{\alpha} = 6.68 \times 10^{-27} \ kg$

Charge of the alpha particle is, $q_{\alpha} = 3.20 \times 10^{-19} \ C$

So the potential difference for the alpha particle when it is accelerated through the potential difference is

$U=\Delta Vq_{\alpha}$

And the kinetic energy gained by the alpha particle is

$K.E. =\frac{1}{2}m_{\alpha}v_{\alpha}^2$

From the law of conservation of energy, we get

$K.E. = U$

$\frac{1}{2}m_{\alpha}v_{\alpha}^2 = \Delta V q_{\alpha}$

$v_{\alpha} = \sqrt{\frac{2 \Delta V q_{\alpha}}{m_{\alpha}}}$

$v_{\alpha} = \sqrt{\frac{2(3.45 \times 10^{-3 })(3.2 \times 10^{-19})}{6.68 \times 10^{-27}}}$

$v_{\alpha} \approx 575 \ m/s$

The mechanical energy is conserved in the presence of the following conservative forces :

-- electrostatic forces

-- magnetic forces

-- gravitational forces

During a very quick stop, a car decelerates at 7.6 m/s2. Assume the forward motion of the car corresponds to a positive directio

Mashcka [7]

Answer:

24.57 revolutions

Explanation:

(a) If they do not slip on the pavement, then the angular acceleration is

$\alpha = a / r = 7.6 / 0.26 = 29.23 rad/s^2$

(b) We can use the following equation of motion to find out the angle traveled by the wheel before coming to rest:

$\omega^2 - \omega_0^2 = 2\alpha\Delta \theta$

where v = 0 m/s is the final angular velocity of the wheel when it stops, $\omega_0$ = 95rad/s is the initial angular velocity of the wheel, $\alpha = -29.23 rad/s^2$ is the deceleration of the wheel, and $\Delta \theta$ is the angle swept in rad, which we care looking for:

$0 - 95^2 = 2*29.23\Delta \theta$

$9025 = 58.46 \Delta \theta$

$\Delta \theta = 9025 / 58.46 = 154.375 rad$

As each revolution equals to 2π, the total revolution it makes before stop is

154.375 / 2π = 24.57 revolutions

A plane starting from rest (vo = 0 m/s) when t0 = 0s. The plane accelerates down the runway, and at 29 seconds, its velocity is

IrinaK [193]

Answer:

Acceleration, $a=2.48\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

Given that,

The plane is at rest initially, u = 0

Final speed of the plane, v = 72.2 m/s

Time, t = 29 s

We need to find the average acceleration for the plane. It can be calculated as :

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

$a=\dfrac{72.2}{29}$

$a=2.48\ m/s^2$

So, the average acceleration for the plane is $2.48\ m/s^2$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

Suppose that a comet that was seen in 550 A.D. by Chinese astronomers was spotted again in year 1941. Assume the time between ob

pickupchik [31]

To solve the problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Kepler's third law as well as the calculation of distances in orbits with eccentricities.

Kepler's third law tells us that

$T^2 = \frac{4\pi^2}{GM}a^3$

Where

T= Period

G= Gravitational constant

M = Mass of the sun

a= The semimajor axis of the comet's orbit

The period in years would be given by

$T= 1941-550\\T= 1391y(\frac{31536000s}{1y})\\T=4.3866*10^{10}s$

PART A) Replacing the values to find a, we have

$a^3= \frac{T^2 GM}{4\pi^2}$

$a^3 = \frac{(4.3866*10^{10})^2(6.67*10^{-11})(1.989*10^{30})}{4\pi^2}$

$a^3 = 6.46632*10^{39}$

$a = 1.86303*10^{13}m$

Therefore the semimajor axis is $1.86303*10^{13}m$

PART B) If the semi-major axis a and the eccentricity e of an orbit are known, then the periapsis and apoapsis distances can be calculated by

$R = a(1-e)$

$R = 1.86303*10^{13}(1-0.997)$

$R= 5.58*10^{10}m$

If hot air rises then why is it cold in space please explain in detail thank you

Helen [10]

Hot air has a lower density than the surrounding atmosphere, therefore,it will rise.. The reason it is "cold" in the upper atmosphere is actually because of a lower air density.
