Two hockey pucks, labeled A and B, are initially at rest on a smooth ice surface and are separated by a distance of 18.0 m. Simu

ltaneously, each puck is given a quick push, and they begin to slide directly toward each other. Puck A moves with a speed of 1.30 m/s, and puck B moves with a speed of 1.70 m/s. What is the distance that puck A covers prior to the collision?

Answer: pick A moves 10.2 metre

Explanation: since they were given a quick push simultaneously the product of their distance moved and velocity would be equal.

Let the distance moved by puck B x then that of puck A would be 18-x.

So therefore we have that,

1.3*(18-x) = 1.7*x

23.4 - 1.3x = 1.7x

23.4=3x

Making x subject of formula we have

x = 23.4/3 = 7.8m

But the distance moved by puck A is 18-x. So therefore,

18-7.8=10.2meter

Be sure to answer all parts. Compare the wavelengths of an electron (mass = 9.11 × 10−31 kg) and a proton (mass = 1.67 × 10−27 k
Harrizon [31]

Explanation:

Given that,

(a) Speed, v=6.66\times 10^6\ m/s

Mass of the electron, m_e=9.11\times 10^{-31}\ kg

Mass of the proton, m_p=1.67\times 10^{-27}\ kg

The wavelength of the electron is given by :

\lambda_e=\dfrac{h}{m_ev}

\lambda_e=\dfrac{6.63\times 10^{-34}}{9.11\times 10^{-31}\times 6.66\times 10^6}

\lambda_e=1.09\times 10^{-10}\ m

The wavelength of the proton is given by :

\lambda_p=\dfrac{h}{m_p v}

\lambda_p=\dfrac{6.63\times 10^{-34}}{1.67\times 10^{-27}\times 6.66\times 10^6}

\lambda_p=5.96\times 10^{-14}\ m

(b) Kinetic energy, K=1.71\times 10^{-15}\ J

The relation between the kinetic energy and the wavelength is given by :

\lambda_e=\dfrac{h}{\sqrt{2m_eK}}

\lambda_e=\dfrac{6.63\times 10^{-34}}{\sqrt{2\times 9.11\times 10^{-31}\times 1.71\times 10^{-15}}}

\lambda_e=1.18\times 10^{-11}\ m

\lambda_p=\dfrac{h}{\sqrt{2m_pK}}

\lambda_p=\dfrac{6.63\times 10^{-34}}{\sqrt{2\times 1.67\times 10^{-27}\times 1.71\times 10^{-15}}}

\lambda_p=2.77\times 10^{-13}\ m

Hence, this is the required solution.

An early submersible craft for deep-sea exploration was raised and lowered by a cable from a ship. When the craft was stationary
Talja [164]

Answer:

A) 5.2 x 10³ N

B) 8.8 x 10³ N

Explanation:

Part A)

F_{g} = weight of the craft in downward direction = tension force in the cable when stationary = 7000 N

T = Tension force in upward direction

F_{d} = Drag force in upward direction = 1800 N

Force equation for the motion of craft is given as

F_{g} - F_{d} - T = 0

7000 - 1800 - T = 0

T = 5200 N

T = 5.2 x 10³ N

Part B)

F_{g} = weight of the craft in downward direction = tension force in the cable when stationary = 7000 N

T = Tension force in upward direction

F_{d} = Drag force in downward direction = 1800 N

Force equation for the motion of craft is given as

T  - F_{g} - F_{d} = 0

T - 7000 - 1800  = 0

T = 8800 N

T = 8.8 x 10³ N

When using the magnification equation, a value greater than 1 as the solution for M indicates that the image ? is larger than th
Nadusha1986 [10]
M= Height of image/height of the object

If, M>1, then height of image>height of object.

And therefore, image is larger than the object.
