Within an atom, there are three elementary particles: the proton, neutron, and electron. Most of the mass of an atom is situated within the nucleus, which is the central part of the atom. It is made up of protons and neutrons, which are the heaviest subatomic particles. The electrons within the atom, orbit around the nucleus at a very far distance. Electrons are also a part of the lightest group of subatomic particles called leptons. That is why these electrons don't contribute much to the majority of an atoms mass. They are very light and they orbit at very far distances.

Most mass of the atom is concentrated in the nucleus of the atom. The nucleus is located at the center of the atom which contains the subatomic particles such as neutrons and protons. Neutrons bear no charge while protons are subatomic particles with positive charges. The electron do not make up much of the mass because they just surround the nucleus

A police officer is parked by the side of the road, when a speeding car travelling at 50 mi/hrpasses. The police car immediately
Blababa [14]

Answer:

a) time taken to catch up with speeding car is 12.25 secs

b) the police car will travel 273.8 m to catch up with the speeding car

Explanation:

Given that;

speed of car V_{c} = 50 mi/hr = 22.352 m/s

acceleration of police car = 10 mi/hr = 4.47 m/s²

V_{f}  = 70 mi/hr = 31.29 m/s

Now time taken to reach maximum speed is t₁

so

V_{f} =  V_{i} + at₁

we substitute

31.29 = 0 + 4.47t₁

t₁ = 31.29 / 4.47

t₁  = 7 sec

now

d₁ = 0 + 1/2 × at₁²

d₁ = 0 + 1/2 × 0 + 4.47×(7)²

d₁ = 109.5 m

so distance travelled by the speeding car in time t₁  will be

d_{c} = V_{c} × t₁

we substitute

d_{c} = 22.352 × 7

d_{c}  = 156.46 m

now distance between polive car and speeding car

Δd =  d_{c} - d₁

Δd = 156.46 - 109.5

Δd = 46.96 m

time taken to cover Δd will be

t₂ = Δd / ( V_{f} - V_{c} )

t₂ = 46.96 / ( 31.29 - 22.352 )

t₂ = 46.96 / 8.938

t₂ = 5.25 sec

distance travelled by the police in time t₂ will be

d₂ = V_{f} × t₂

d₂ = 31.29 × 5.25

d₂ = 164.3 m

a) How long will it take before the officer catches up to the speeding car;

time taken to catch up with speeding car;

t = t₁ + t₂

t = 7 + 5.25

t = 12.25 secs

Therefore, time taken to catch up with speeding car is 12.25 secs

b)  how far will it have travelled in order to do so;

distance = d₁ + d₂

distance = 109.5 + 164.3

distance = 273.8 m

Therefore, the police car will travel 273.8 m to catch up with the speeding car

A motorcycle running on gasoline wastes a large amount of energy mainly as A) heat energy and sound energy. B) light energy and
vlada-n [284]

A motorcycle mainly wastes energy as heat <u>energy</u> and <u>sound</u> energy. In the engine, chemical energy is transformed into mechanical energy. However, the engine is inefficient and much of the chemical energy is lost as heat energy. Also, some of the energy is transformed to sound energy. This explains why the motorcycle is noisy and has an exhaust pipe.

A bowling ball with a momentum of 18kg-m/s strikes a stationary bowling pin. After the collision, the ball has a momentum of 13k
Veronika [31]

Answer:

14.98\ \text{kg m/s}

45.26^{\circ}

Explanation:

P_1 = Initial momentum of the pin = 13 kg m/s

P_i = Initial momentum of the ball = 18 kg m/s

P_2 = Momentum of the ball after hit

55^{\circ} = Angle ball makes with the horizontal after hitting the pin

\theta = Angle the pin makes with the horizotal after getting hit by the ball

Momentum in the x direction

P_i=P_1\cos55^{\circ}+P_2\cos\theta\\\Rightarrow P_2\cos\theta=P_i-P_1\cos55^{\circ}\\\Rightarrow P_2\cos\theta=18-13\cos55^{\circ}\\\Rightarrow P_2\cos\theta=10.54\ \text{kg m/s}

Momentum in the y direction

P_1\sin55=P_2\sin\theta\\\Rightarrow P_2\sin\theta=13\sin55^{\circ}\\\Rightarrow P_2\sin\theta=10.64\ \text{kg m/s}

(P_2\cos\theta)^2+(P_2\sin\theta)^2=P_2^2\\\Rightarrow P_2=\sqrt{10.54^2+10.64^2}\\\Rightarrow P_2=14.98\ \text{kg m/s}

The pin's resultant velocity is 14.98\ \text{kg m/s}

P_2\sin\theta=10.64\\\Rightarrow \theta=sin^{-1}\dfrac{10.64}{14.98}\\\Rightarrow \theta=45.26^{\circ}

The pin's resultant direction is 45.26^{\circ} below the horizontal or to the right.
