Explanation:

The physical quantities are of two types. They are as follows:

1. Vectors

2. Scalars

The quantities that have both magnitude and direction are called vectors and the quantities having only magnitude are called scalars.

Out of given options the statement that describes vector are :

1. Vectors have size and a direction.

2. Vectors are indicated with arrows.

3. Vectors have both positive and negative values.

An electron emitted from a filament is travelling at 1.5 x 105 m/s when it enters an acceleration of an electron gun in a televi

Crank

Answer:

The acceleration of the electron is 1.457 x 10¹⁵ m/s².

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity of the emitted electron, u = 1.5 x 10⁵ m/s

distance traveled by the electron, d = 0.01 m

final velocity of the electron, v = 5.4 x 10⁶ m/s

The acceleration of the electron is calculated as;

v² = u² + 2ad

(5.4 x 10⁶)² = (1.5 x 10⁵)² + (2 x 0.01)a

(2 x 0.01)a = (5.4 x 10⁶)² - (1.5 x 10⁵)²

(2 x 0.01)a = 2.91375 x 10¹³

$a = \frac{2.91375 \ \times \ 10^{13}}{2 \ \times \ 0.01} \\\\a = 1.457 \ \times \ 10^{15} \ m/s^2$

Therefore, the acceleration of the electron is 1.457 x 10¹⁵ m/s².

Electrons would likely pass through the plasma channel when the formation of a lightning takes place. Lightning is primarily caused by the formation of an ionised cloud in the atmosphere. This cloud was due to the attractions between molecules of rain drops wherein produce a negative charge.

A wheel of radius 25cm has eight spokes. It is mounted on a fixed axle and is rotating at a constant angular speed w. You shoot

spayn [35]

Explanation:

We will assume that the rim of the wheel is also very thin, like the spokes. The distance s between the spokes along the rim is

$s = \frac{1}{8}C = \frac{1}{8}(2\pi)(0.25\:\text{m}) = 0.196\:\text{m}$

The 20-cm arrow, traveling at 6 m/s, will travel its length in

$t = \dfrac{0.2\:\text{m}}{6\:\text{m/s}} = \dfrac{1}{30}\:\text{s}$

The fastest speed that the wheel can spin without clipping the arrow is

$v = \dfrac{s}{t} = \dfrac{0.196\:\text{m}}{\left(\dfrac{1}{30\:\text{s}}\right)} = 5.9\:\text{m/s}$

The angular velocity $\omega$ of the wheel is given by

$\omega = \dfrac{v}{r} = \dfrac{5.9\:\text{m/s}}{0.25\:\text{m}} = 23.6\:\text{rad/s}$

In terms of rev/s, we can convert the answer above as follows:

$23.6\:\dfrac{\text{rad}}{\text{s}}×\dfrac{1\:\text{rev}}{2\pi\:\text{rad}} = 3.8\:\text{rev/s}$

As you probably noticed, I did the calculations based on the assumption that I'm aiming for the edge of the wheel because this is the part of the wheel where a point travels a longer linear distance compared to ones closer to the axle, thus giving the arrow a better chance to pass through the wheel without getting clipped by the spokes. If you aim closer to the axle, then the wheel needs to spin slower to allow the arrow to get through without hitting the spokes.
