A tugboat tows a ship with a constant force of magnitude F1. The increase in the ship's speed during a 10 s interval is 3.0 km/h

Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

The magnitude of F₁ is 3.7 times of F₂

Explanation:

Given that,

Time = 10 sec

Speed = 3.0 km/h

Speed of second tugboat = 11 km/h

We need to calculate the speed

$v_{1}=\dfrac{3.0\times10^{3}}{3600}$

$v_{1}=0.833\ m/s$

The force F₁is constant acceleration is also a constant.

$F_{1}=ma_{1}$

We need to calculate the acceleration

Using formula of acceleration

$a_{1}=\dfrac{v}{t}$

$a_{1}=\dfrac{0.833}{10}$

$a_{1}=0.083\ m/s^2$

Similarly,

$F_{2}=ma_{2}$

For total force,

$F_{3}=F_{2}+F_{1}$

$ma_{3}=ma_{2}+ma_{1}$

The speed of second tugboat is

$v=\dfrac{11\times10^{3}}{3600}$

$v=3.05\ m/s$

We need to calculate total acceleration

$a_{3}=\dfrac{v}{t}$

$a_{3}=\dfrac{3.05}{10}$

$a_{3}=0.305\ m/s^2$

We need to calculate the acceleration a₂

$0.305=a_{2}+0.083$

$a_{2}=0.305-0.083$

$a_{2}=0.222\ m/s^2$

We need to calculate the factor of F₁ and F₂

Dividing force F₁ by F₂

$\dfrac{F_{1}}{F_{2}}=\dfrac{m\times0.83}{m\times0.22}$

$\dfrac{F_{1}}{F_{2}}=3.7$

$F_{1}=3.7F_{2}$

Hence, The magnitude of F₁ is 3.7 times of F₂

An electron in a mercury atom drops

aksik [14]

Since the electron dropped from an energy level i to the ground state by emitting a single photon, this photon has an energy of 1.41 × 10⁻¹⁸ Joules.

<h3>How to calculate the photon energy?</h3>

In order to determine the photon energy of an electron, you should apply Planck-Einstein's equation.

Mathematically, the Planck-Einstein equation can be calculated by using this formula:

E = hf

<u>Where:</u>

h is Planck constant.

f is photon frequency.

In this scenario, this photon has an energy of 1.41 × 10⁻¹⁸ Joules because the electron dropped from an energy level i to the ground state by emitting a single photon.

A parallel-plate capacitor has square plates that have edge length equal to 1.20×102cm and are separated by 1.00 mm. It is conne

lora16 [44]

Answer:

Energy stored in the capacitor will be $1.835\times 10^{-6}J$

Explanation:

We have given edge length of capacitor = $1.2\times 10^2cm=1.2m$

So area A = 1.2×1.2 = 1.44 $m^2$

Separation is given as d 1 mm = $10^{-3}m$

We know that capacitance is given by $C=\frac{\epsilon _0A}{d}=\frac{8.85\times 10^{-12}\times 1.44}{10^{-3}}=12.744\times 10^{-9}F$

Voltage is given as V = 12 volt

We know that energy stored is given by $E=\frac{1}{2}CV^2=\frac{1}{2}\times 12.744\times 10^{-9}\times 12^2=1.835\times 10^{-6}J$
