Answer:

their electrical potential energy decreases. True, because of the negative sign as the distance decreases, it becomes more negative.

The kinetic energy increases. True, the force is attractive as the distance decreases the force increases, so acceleration and therefore the speed

Explanation:

The only force between the proton and the electron is electric

Fe = k q1q2 / r2

Fe = - k e2 / r2

We can see that it is an attractive force (negative sign)

The electric power energy is

U = k q1 q2 / r

U = -k e2 / r

The kinetic energy is

K = ½ m v2

With the expressions for each term we can analyze the sentences :

Their electric potential energy increases. False,

their electrical potential energy decreases. True, because of the negative sign as the distance decreases, it becomes more negative.

The kinetic energy increases. True, the force is attractive as the distance decreases the force increases, so acceleration and therefore the speed

Kinetic energy decreases False

The acceleration decreases. False, as the force increases so does the acceleration

If a train (travelling from Albuquerque to Atlanta) is moving 33.9 meters per second when it accelerates at -2.02 m/s^2 for 1.01

maxonik [38]

Answer:

The final velocity is 31.86 m/s.

Explanation:

The final velocity can be found using the following equation:

$V_{f} = V_{0} + at$

Where:

$V_{f}$ is the final velocity =?

$V_{0}$ is the initial velocity = 33.9 m/s

a is the acceleration = -2.02 m/s²

t is the time = 1.01 s

$V_{f} = V_{0} + at = 33.9 m/s + (-2.02 m/s^{2})*1.01 s = 31.86 m/s$

Therefore, the final velocity is 31.86 m/s.

I hope it helps you!

Strong forces:

- are forces holding nucleons together

- are independent of electric charge

- act only over a very short distance

So, correct answer is 4) all of these

Explanation:

The strong force is one of the 4 fundamental forces of nature. It is responsible for holding the nucleons (protons and neutrons) together into the nucleus of the atom.

In fact, the protons inside the nucleus of an atom experience a repulsive, electrostatic force between each other: if this force was not balanced, the protons will simply fly away from each other, and the nucleus would break apart, so no nucleus could exist.

The strong force acts to prevent this effect: the strong force is attractive at such short scales, and it holds the protons and the neutrons together. It is independent of the electric charge: in fact, it acts in the same way on protons and neutrons, being attractive in both cases. Also, the strong force acts only over very short distances, so it acts only inside the nucleus of an atom.

Therefore, all the statements are correct, so the correct option is

4) all of these

Part C: Quantitative Problems when vf is not 0

Alina [70]

Answer:

(a)

$\triangle v=-8\ m/s\\\triangle mv=-56\ kg.m/s$

(b)

1120 N

Explanation:

Change in velocity, $\triangle v$ is given by subtracting the initial velocity from the final velocity and expressed as $\triangle v= v_f -v_i$

Where v represent the velocity and subscripts f and i represent final and initial respectively. Since the ball finally comes to rest, its final velocity is zero. Substituting 0 for final velocity and the given figure of 8 m/s for initial velocity then the change in velocity is given by

$\triangle v=0-8=-8\ m/s$

To find $m\triangle v$ then we substitute 7 kg for m and -8 m/s for $\triangle v$ therefore $\triangle\ v=7 Kg\times -8 m/s=-56\ Kg.m/s$

(b)

The impact force, F is given as the product of mass and acceleration. Here, acceleration is given by dividing the change in velocity by time ie

$a=\frac {\triangle v}{t}=\frac { v_f -v_i}{t}$

Substituting t with 0.05 s then $a=\frac {\triangle v}{t}=\frac { v_f -v_i}{t}=\frac {-8}{0.05}=-160 m/s^{2}$

Since F=ma then substituting m with 7 Kg we get that F=7*-160=-1120 N

Therefore, the impact force is equivalent to 1120 N

a 3 kg piece of putty that is moving with a velocity of 10 m/s collides and sticks to an 8 kg bowling ball that was at rest. wha

defon

The final velocity is 2.7 m/s

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using the principle of conservation of momentum: in fact, in absence of external forces, the total momentum of the system must be conserved before and after the collision.

Therefore we can write:

$p_i = p_f\\m_1 u_1 + m_2 u_2 = (m_1+m_2)v$

where:

$m_1 = 3 kg$ is the mass of the putty

$u_1 = 10 m/s$ is the initial velocity of the putty (we take its direction as positive direction)

$m_2 = 8 kg$ is the mass of the ball

$u_2 = 0 m/s$ is the initial velocity of the ball (at rest)

$v$ is the final combined velocity of the two putty+ball

Re-arranging the equation and substituting the values, we find the final combined velocity:

$v=\frac{m_1 u_1 + m_2 u_2}{m_1+m_2}=\frac{(3)(10)+0}{3+8}=2.7 m/s$

And the positive sign indicates their final direction is the same as the initial direction of the putty.
