Answer:

Final velocity v = 8.944 m/sec

Explanation:

We have given distance S = 40 meters

Time t = 10 sec

As it starts from rest so initial velocity u = 0

From second equation of motion $s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

$40=0\times 10+\frac{1}{2}a10^2$

$a=0.8944m/sec^2$

Now from first equation of motion $v=u+at$ , here v is final velocity, u is initial velocity, a is acceleration and t is time

So $v=u+at=0+0.8944\times 10=8.944m/sec$

A 8.00-kg object is hung from the bottom end of a vertical spring fastened to an overhead beam. The object is set into vertical

Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

109.32 N/m

Explanation:

Given that

Mass of the hung object, m = 8 kg

Period of oscillation of object, T = 1.7 s

Force constant, k = ?

Recall that the period of oscillation of a Simple Harmonic Motion is given as

T = 2π √(m/k), where

T = period of oscillation

m = mass of object and

k = force constant if the spring

Since we are looking for the force constant, if we make "k" the subject of the formula, we have

k = 4π²m / T², now we go ahead to substitute our given values from the question

k = (4 * π² * 8) / 1.7²

k = 315.91 / 2.89

k = 109.32 N/m

Therefore, the force constant of the spring is 109.32 N/m

Explain how electricity can be conducted by acids ad=nd bases

dimulka [17.4K]

<span>So are strong bases. The reason acids and bases conduct electricity is that when they are mixed with water, they "separate" into ions. And the ions are charge carriers. These charge carriers can be made to carry a charge (which is why that description fits them).</span>

A constant voltage is applied across a circuit element. If the resistance of the element is doubled, what is the effect on the p

miv72 [106K]

Answer:

The power dissipated is reduced by a factor of 2

Explanation:

The power dissipated by a resistor is given by:

$P=I^2 R$

where

I is the current

R is the resistance

by using Ohm's law, $I=\frac{V}{R}$ , we can rewrite the previous equation in terms of the voltage applied across the resistor (V):

$P=(\frac{V}{R})^2R=\frac{V^2}{R}$

In this problem, the resistance of the element is doubled, while the voltage is kept constant. So we have $R'=2R$ while V remains the same; substituting into the formula, we have:

$P'=\frac{V^2}{2R}=\frac{1}{2}\frac{V^2}{R}=\frac{P}{2}$

so, the power dissipated is reduced by a factor 2.

What fraction of 5 MeV α particles will be scattered through angles greater than 8.5° from a gold foil (Z = 79, density = 19.3 g

aalyn [17]

Answer:

$f(8) = \pi (5.90x10^{28} atoms/m^3) *(10^{-8} m) (\frac{2*79*(1.6x10^{-19}C)^2}{8 \pi (8.85 x10^{-12} C^2/Nm^2)*(5x10^6 Nm) *1.6x10^{-19}C})* cot^2 (8/2)$

And after do all the operations we got:

$f(8) = 1.96 x10^{-4] atoms/m^2$

And that would be the final answer for this case.

Explanation:

For this case we can use the fomrula for the fraction of incident particles scattered by an angle $\theta$ , given by:

$f(\theta) = \pi nt (\frac{Z_1 e Z_2 e}{8 \pi e_o K})^2 cos^2 (\theta/2)$

Where:

$Z_1 e$ represent the charge of the projectile (Z1=2)

$Z_2 e$ is the target charge (z2=79)

$K= 5x10^6 eV$ represent the kinetic energy of incident particle

n represent the density of target particles (we need to find it first)

$t= 10^{-8] m$ represent the thicknss of the foil

The first step would be calculate the density of target particles with the following formula:

$n =\frac{\rho N_A N_M}{M_g}$

Where:

$\rho = 19.3 g/m^3= 19300 Kg/m^3$

$N_A = 6.022 x10^{23} molecules/mol$ the Avogadro's number

$N_M = 1$ represent the atoms per molecule

$M_g = 197 g/mol = 0.197 Kg/mol$ represent the molecular weigth

If we replace we got:

$n = \frac{19300 kg/m^3 *6.022x10^{23} molecu/mol * 1 atom/mole}{0.197 Kg/mol}= 5.90 x106{28] atoms/m^3$

Now we can calculate the fraction of 5 MeV alpha particles that would be scatteres with angle higher than 8 degrees in a piece of thickness $t=10^{-8}m$

And using the first formula we got:

$f(8) = \pi (5.90x10^{28} atoms/m^3) *(10^{-8} m) (\frac{2*79*(1.6x10^{-19}C)^2}{8 \pi (8.85 x10^{-12} C^2/Nm^2)*(5x10^6 Nm) *1.6x10^{-19}C})* cot^2 (8/2)$

And after do all the operations we got:

$f(8) = 1.96 x10^{-4] atoms/m^2$

And that would be the final answer for this case.
