4 0

Answer:

16520931.465 m/s

Explanation:

K = Kinetic energy = 5.8 MeV

m = Mass of nucleus = 6.8\times 10^{-27}\ kg

Speed of a particle is given by

v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2K}{m}}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 5.8\times 10^6\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}{6.8\times 10^{-27}}}\\\Rightarrow v=16520931.465\ m/s

The velocity is 16520931.465 m/s

attashe74 [19]

Answer:

a. Quadruped arm and opposite leg raise

Explanation:

A client experiences difficulty in performing the prone iso-abs exercise, because the regression is Quadruped arm and opposite leg raise.

Iso-abs exercise is a beginner exercise that stabilizes the core muscle. Press the hips together. Slowly lift the pelvis from the floor til the back is straight. Carry  this position for the desired time or til proper form bcomes difficult to maintained.

A stationary 500 kg tank fires a 20 kg miegile at 100 m/s. What is the velocity of the tank after the missile is fired? Assume t
dedylja [7]

Answer:

v₁ = 4 [m/s].

Explanation:

This problem can be solved by using the principle of conservation of linear momentum. Where momentum is preserved before and after the missile is fired.

P=m*v

where:

P = linear momentum [kg*m/s]

m = mass [kg]

v = velocity [m/s]

(m_{1}*v_{1})=(m_{2}*v_{2})

where:

m₁ = mass of the tank = 500 [kg]

v₁ = velocity of the tank after firing the missile [m/s]

m₂ = mass of the missile = 20 [kg]

v₂ = velocity of the missile after firing = 100 [m/s]

(500*v_{1})=(20*100)\\v_{1}=2000/500\\v_{1}=4[m/s]

Consider the motion of a 4.00-kg particle that moves with potential energy given by U(x) = + a) Suppose the particle is moving w
gtnhenbr [62]

Correct question:

Consider the motion of a 4.00-kg particle that moves with potential energy given by

U(x) = \frac{(2.0 Jm)}{x}+ \frac{(4.0 Jm^2)}{x^2}

a) Suppose the particle is moving with a speed of 3.00 m/s when it is located at x = 1.00 m. What is the speed of the object when it is located at x = 5.00 m?

b) What is the magnitude of the force on the 4.00-kg particle when it is located at x = 5.00 m?

Answer:

a) 3.33 m/s

b) 0.016 N

Explanation:

a) given:

V = 3.00 m/s

x1 = 1.00 m

x = 5.00

u(x) = \frac{-2}{x} + \frac{4}{x^2}

At x = 1.00 m

u(1) = \frac{-2}{1} + \frac{4}{1^2}

= 4J

Kinetic energy = (1/2)mv²

= \frac{1}{2} * 4(3)^2

= 18J

Total energy will be =

4J + 18J = 22J

At x = 5

u(5) = \frac{-2}{5} + \frac{4}{5^2}

= \frac{4-10}{25} = \frac{-6}{25} J

= -0.24J

Kinetic energy =

\frac{1}{2} * 4Vf^2

= 2Vf²

Total energy =

2Vf² - 0.024

Using conservation of energy,

Initial total energy = final total energy

22 = 2Vf² - 0.24

Vf² = (22+0.24) / 2

Vf = \sqrt{frac{22.4}{2}

= 3.33 m/s

b) magnitude of force when x = 5.0m

u(x) = \frac{-2}{x} + \frac{4}{x^2}

\frac{-du(x)}{dx} = \frac{-d}{dx} [\frac{-2}{x}+ \frac{4}{x^2}

= \frac{2}{x^2} - \frac{8}{x^3}

At x = 5.0 m

\frac{2}{5^2} - \frac{8}{5^3}

F = \frac{2}{25} - \frac{8}{125}

= 0.016N

four cars are required to take a group of 16 students on a trip.If there are 36 students to transport how many cars would be nee
Luden [163]

4 cars = 16 students

? cars = 36 students

let x be the number of cars for 36 students

4 • 36 = 16 • x

144 = 16x

144/16 = x

9 = x

It requires 9 cars for 36 students.
