what are:
a. The proton’s average acceleration in unit vector notation.
b. The magnitude of a_avg
c. The angle between a_avg and the positive direction of the x axis?

Answer:

a_{avg}=-1.5i+0.5k

1.58113883008\ m/s^2

-18.43^{\circ}\ or\ 161.57^{\circ}

Explanation:

u = 4.0i−2.0j+3.0k v = −2.0i−2.0j+5.0k

Average acceleration is given by

a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}\\\Rightarrow a=\dfrac{-2-4, -2+2, 5-3}{4}\\\Rightarrow a=-1.5i-0j+0.5k

a_{avg}=-1.5i+0.5k

The magnitude is

a_{avg}=\sqrt{(-1.5)^2+0.5^2}\\\Rightarrow a_{avg}=1.58113883008\ m/s^2

The magnitude is 1.58113883008\ m/s^2

The angle is

\theta=tan^{-1}\dfrac{a_z}{a_x}\\\Rightarrow \theta=tan^{-1}\dfrac{0.5}{-1.5}\\\Rightarrow \theta=-18.43^{\circ}\ or\ 161.57^{\circ}

The angle between a_{avg} and the positive direction of the x axis is -18.43^{\circ}\ or\ 161.57^{\circ}

A 25-kg child sits at the top of a 4-meter slide. After sliding down, the child is traveling at 5 m/s. How much PE does he start
Semmy [17]

Daniddmelo says it right there, don't know why he got reported.

The potential energy (PE) is mass x height x gravity. So it would be 25 kg x 4  m x 9.8 = 980 joules. The child starts out with 980 joules of potential energy. The kinetic energy (KE) is (1/2) x mass x velocity squared. KE = (1/2) x 25 kg x 5 m/s2 = 312.5 joules. So he ends with 312.5 joules of kinetic energy. The Energy lost to friction =  PE - KE. 980- 312.5 = 667.5 joules of energy lost to friction.

Please don't just copy and paste, and thank you Dan cause you practically did it I just... elaborated more? I dunno.

The energy delivered to the resistive coil is dissipated as heat at a rate equal to the power input of the circuit. However, not
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

P(bat) = V²r/(R+r)²

Explanation:

Let the resistance of the coil be R

Internal resistance of the battery be r

Emf of the battery = V

Power dissipated in the internal resistance of the battery is normally given as P = I²r

where I is the current flowing in the circuit.

From Ohm's law,

V = I R(eq)

R(eq) = (R + r)

I = V/(R+r)

P = I²r

P = [V/(R+r)]²r

P = V²r/(R+r)²

Hope this Helps!!!

Why would an egg break immediately when it hits the ground?
Elza [17]

As an egg falls towards the floor, it begins to travel faster and faster. When it slams into the floor, the egg is stopped almost immediately. This force of the floor against the eggshell is too large, so it breaks.

A book on a 2-meter high shelf has a mass of 0.4 kg. What is its potential energy?
poizon [28]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf 7.84 \ Joules}}

Explanation:

The formula for potential energy is:

PE=m*g*h

where <em>m </em>is the mass, <em>g</em> is the gravitational acceleration, and <em>h</em> is the height.

The mass of the book is 0.4 kilograms. The gravitational acceleration on Earth is 9.8 m/s². The height of the book is 2 meters.

m=0.4 \ kg \\g=9.8 \ m/s^2 \\h=2\ m

Substitute the values into the formula.

PE=(0.4 \ kg)(9.8 \ m/s^2)(2 \ m)

Multiply the first two numbers.

  • 0.4 kg*9.8 m/s²= 3.92 kg*m/s²
  • If we convert the units now, the problem will be much easier later on.
  • 1 kg*m/s² is equal to 1 Newton. So, our answer of 3.92 kg*m/s² is equal to 3.92 N

PE=(3.92 \ N )(2 \ m)

Multiply.

  • 3.92 N* 2 m=7.84 N*m
  • 1 Newton meter is equal to 1 Joule (this is why we converted the units).
  • Our answer is equal to<u> 7.84 Joules.</u>

PE=7.84  \ J
