Answer:

Final kinetic energy, $KE_f=5\ J$

Explanation:

It is given that,

Kinetic energy of toy car, $KE_i = 8\ J$

Frictional force, F = 0.5 N

Distance, d = 6 m

We need to find the kinetic energy after this frictional force has acted on it. We know that frictional force is an opposing force. The work done by the toy car is given by :

$W=F\times d$

$W=-0.5\ N\times 6\ m$

W = -3 J

We know that the work done is equal to the change in kinetic energy. Let $KE_f$ is the final kinetic energy.

$W=KE_f-KE_i$

$-3=KE_f-8$

$KE_f=5\ J$

So, the final kinetic energy is the toy car is 5 J. Hence, this is the required solution.

How do you know the speed of an electromagnetic wave in a vacuum?

Ivenika [448]

The speed of electromagnetic waves in a vacuum is the same as the speed of light. It can be measured by finding the frequency and wavelength of two different waves, and then by that correlation, the speed of the waveform.
Hope this helps you (:

What is the frequency for a beam of electrons orbiting in a field of 4.62 x 10^-3 T? Let the mass of an electrons m = 9.31 x 10^

melisa1 [442]

Frequency: $1.27\cdot 10^8 Hz$

Explanation:

The force experienced by an electron in a magnetic field is

$F=qvB$

where

$q=1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C$ is the electron charge

v is the speed of the electron

B is the strength of the magnetic field

Since the force is perpendicular to the direction of motion of the electron, the force acts as centripetal force, so we can write:

$qvB=m\frac{v^2}{r}$

where

r is the radius of the orbit

$m=9.31\cdot 10^{-31}kg$ is the mass of the electron

Re-arranging the equation,

$\frac{v}{r}=\frac{qB}{m}$ (1)

We also know that in a circular motion, the speed is equal to the ratio between circumference of the orbit and orbital period (T):

$v=\frac{2\pi r}{T}$

Substituting into (1),

$\frac{2\pi}{T}=\frac{qB}{m}$

We also know that 1/T is equal to the frequency f, so

$f=\frac{qB}{2\pi m}$

In this problem,

$B=4.62\cdot 10^{-3}T$

Therefore, the frequency of the electrons is

$f=\frac{(1.6\cdot 10^{-19})(4.62\cdot 10^{-3})}{2\pi(9.31\cdot 10^{-31})}=1.27\cdot 10^8 Hz$

Give an example of a situation in which you would describe an object's position in

notka56 [123]

Incomplete question. Full text is:

"<span>Give an example of a situation in which you would describe an object's position in (a) one-dimension coordinates (b) two-dimension coordinates (c) three-dimension coordinates"

Solution
(a) One dimension example: a man walking along a metal plank. We just need to specify one coordinate, the distance from the beginning of the plank.

(b) Two-dimension example: a ball moving on a circle. In this case, we need two coordinates: (x,y) to specify the position of the ball at every instant, since it is moving on a 2-D plane.

(c) The position of an airplane in the air: in this case we need 3 coordinates, the height, the latitude and the longitude of the airplane.</span>
