Answer:

your weight changes slightly when you fly in an airplane

Explanation:

Technically, because gravity is weaker the farther you are from a gravitational source, your weight changes slightly when you fly in an airplane. It would change even more if you're in space or on a planet with a different mass than Earth.

The velocity of a particle (m = 10 mg, q = –4.0 μC) at t = 0 is 20 m/s in the positive x direction. If the particle moves in a u
kompoz [17]

Answer:

Vf = - 20 m/s ( -ve sign shows that the particle is moving opposite to positive x- direction).

Explanation:

Given:

Vi = 20 m/s, m= 10 mg =1 × 10⁻⁵ kg, q= -4.0 × 10⁻⁶ C , E= 20 N/C. t= 5.0 s

first to find Electric Force

F= Eq = 20 × -4.0 10⁻⁶ C = - 8 × 10⁻⁵ N (-ve sign shows that the field will push the particle opposite to positive x- direction)

We also have F=ma

⇒ a = F/m =  - 8 × 10⁻⁵ N / 10 × 10⁻⁵ kg = -8 m/s² ( -ve sign shows that the particle is accelerated opposite to positive x- direction)

Now according the first equation of Motion.

Vf = Vi + at

Vf = 20 m/s + -8 m/s² × 5 s

Vf= -20 m/s ( -ve sign shows that the particle is moving opposite to positive x- direction)

mr_godi [17]
Impulse is change in momentum.  The initial momentum was
0.1kg*11m/s=1.1kg m/s.
The second momentum is 0.1*(-8.8m/s)=-0.88 (since it's moving backward now)
The difference is P1-P2 = 1.1-(-0.88)=1.98kg m/s

It's nighttime, and you ve dropped your goggles into a 3.2-m-deep swimming pool. If you hold a laser pointer 0.90 m above the ed
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

The distance of the goggle from the edge is 5.30 m

Explanation:

Given:

The depth of pool (d) = 3.2 m

let 'i' be the angle of incidence

thus,

i = tan^{-1}(\frac{2.2}{0.90})

i = 67.75°

Now, Using snell's law, we have,

n₁ × sin(i) = n₂ × 2 × sin(r)

where,

r is the angle of refraction

n₁ is the refractive index of medium 1 = 1 for air

n₂ is the refractive index of medium 1 = 1.33 for water

now,

1 × sin 67.75° = 1.33 × sin(r)

or

r = 44.09°

Now,  

the distance of googles = 2.2 + d×tan(r)  = 2.2 + (3.2 × tan(44.09°) = 5.30 m

Hence, <u>the distance of the goggle from the edge is 5.30 m</u>
