Answer:

(A)

Explanation:

We know , electric potential energy between two charge particles of charges "q" and "Q" respectively is given by kqQ/r where r is the distance between them.

Since the two charged particles are moving apart, the distance between them (r) increases and thus electrical potential energy decreases.

A 52.0-kg person, running horizontally with a velocity of +3.63 m/s, jumps onto a 15.2-kg sled that is initially at rest. (a) Ig
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

The coefficient of kinetic friction between the sled and the snow is 0.0134

Explanation:

Given that:

M = mass of person = 52 kg

m = mass of sled = 15.2 kg

U = initial velocity of person = 3.63 m/s

u = initial velocity of sled = 0 m/s

After collision, the person and the sled would move with the same velocity V.

a) According to law of momentum conservation:

Total momentum before collision = Total momentum after collision

MU + mu = (M + m)V

V=\frac{MU+mu}{M+m}

Substituting values:

V=\frac{MU+mu}{M+m}=\frac{52(3.63)+15.2(0)}{52+15.2} =2.81m/s

The velocity of the sled and person as they move away is 2.81 m/s

b) acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

d = 30 m

Using the formula:

V^2=2\mu(gd)\\\mu=\frac{V^2}{2gd} \\\mu=\frac{2.81^2}{2*9.8*30} =0.0134

The coefficient of kinetic friction between the sled and the snow is 0.0134

What current flows through a 2.54cm diameter rod of pure silicon that is 20cm long when 1000V is applied?
vfiekz [6]

Answer: 0.0039\ A

Explanation:

Given

Diameter of the rod d=2.54\ cm

length of rod is l=20\ cm

Resistivity of silicon is \rho=6.4\times 10^2\ \Omega-m

cross-section of the rod A

\Rightarrow A=\dfrac{\pi d^2}{4}\\\\\Rightarrow A=\dfrac{3.142\times 2.54^2\times 10^{-4}}{4}\\\\\Rightarrow A=5.067\times 10^{-4}\ m^2

Resistance of rod is  R

\Rightarrow R=\dfrac{\rho l}{A}

\Rightarrow R=\dfrac{640\times 0.20}{5.067\times 10^{-4}}\\\\\Rightarrow R=25.26\times 10^4\ \Omega

Current is given by

\Rightarrow I=\dfrac{V}{R}\\\\\Rightarrow I=\dfrac{1000}{25.26\times 10^4}\\\\\Rightarrow I=0.0039\ A

If the net force acting on a moving object CAUSES NO CHANGE IN ITS VELOCITY, what happens to the object's momentum?
SOVA2 [1]

If the net force acting on a moving object causes no change in its velocity, the object's momentum will stay the same.

<h3>What is momentum?</h3>

Momentum of a body in motion refers to the tendency of a body to maintain its inertial motion.

The momentum is the product of its mass and velocity.

This suggests that if the net force acting on a moving object causes no change in its velocity, the momentum of the object will remain the same.

Therefore, if the net force acting on a moving object causes no change in its velocity, the object's momentum will stay the same.
