Answer:

B. Newton's third law

Explanation:

When two bodies collide the moment remains constant.

This occurs because we define a system that is formed by the two bodies, so that the forces last = before the shock are forces of action and reaction, from one body to the other, so that for the system (two bodies) the force total is zero, we assume that the system is isolated from the outside.

In summary, the initial establishment is a consequence of Newton's third law

A 34-m length of wire is stretched horizontally between two vertical posts. The wire carries a current of 68 A and experiences a

il63 [147K]

Answer:

7.28×10⁻⁵ T

Explanation:

Applying,

F = BILsin∅............. Equation 1

Where F = magnetic force, B = earth's magnetic field, I = current flowing through the wire, L = Length of the wire, ∅ = angle between the field and the wire.

make B the subject of the equation

B = F/ILsin∅.................. Equation 2

From the question,

Given: F = 0.16 N, I = 68 A, L = 34 m, ∅ = 72°

Substitute these values into equation 2

B = 0.16/(68×34×sin72°)

B = 0.16/(68×34×0.95)

B = 0.16/2196.4

B = 7.28×10⁻⁵ T

If a proton and an electron are released when they are 7.00×10−10 m apart (typical atomic distances), find the initial accelerat

Ugo [173]

Answer:

The acceleration of the proton is 2.823 x 10¹⁷ m/s²

The acceleration of the electron is 5.175 x 10²⁰ m/s²

Explanation:

Given;

distance between the electron and proton, r = 7 x 10⁻¹⁰ m

mass of proton, $m_p$ = 1.67 x 10⁻²⁷ kg

mass of electron, $m_e$ = 9.11 x 10⁻³¹ kg

The attractive force between the two charges is given by Coulomb's law;

$F = \frac{k(q_p)(q_e)}{r^2}$

where;

k is Coulomb's constant = 9 x 10⁹ Nm²/c²

$F = \frac{k(q_p)(q_e)}{r^2} \\\\F = \frac{(9*10^9)(1.602*10^{-19})(1.602*10^{-19})}{(7*10^{-10})^2} \\\\F = 4.714 *10^{-10} \ N$

Acceleration of proton is given by;

F = ma

$F = m_pa_p\\\\a_p = \frac{F}{m_p}\\\\a_p = \frac{4.714*10^{-10}}{1.67*10^{-27}}\\\\a_p = 2.823 *10^{17} \ m/s^2$

Acceleration of the electron is given by;

$F = m_ea_e\\\\a_e = \frac{F}{m_e}\\\\a_e = \frac{4.714*10^{-10}}{9.11*10^{-31}}\\\\a_e = 5.175 *10^{20} \ m/s^2$

A 40 kg girl and an 8.4 kg sled are on the surface of a frozen lake, 15 m apart. By means of a rope, the girl exerts a 5.2 N for

stealth61 [152]

Answer:

(a) $a_s=0.62\frac{m}{s^2}$

(b) $a_s=0.13\frac{m}{s^2}$

Explanation:

(a) According to Newton's second law, the acceleration of a body is directly proportional to the force exerted on it and inversely proportional to it's mass.

$a_s=\frac{F}{m_s}\\a_s=\frac{5.2N}{8.4kg}\\a_s=0.62\frac{m}{s^2}$

(b) According to Newton's third law, the force that the sled exerts on the girl is equal in magnitude but opposite in the direction of the force that the girl exerts on the sled:

$a_g=\frac{F}{m_g}\\a_g=\frac{5.2N}{40kg}\\a_g=0.13\frac{m}{s^2}$

$x_f=x_0+v_0t \pm \frac{at^2}{2}$

For the girl, we have $x_0=0$ and $v_0=0$ . So:

$x_f_g=\frac{a_gt^2}{2}(1)$

For the sled, we have $v_0=0$ . So:

$x_f_s=x_0_s-\frac{a_st^2}{2}(2)$

When they meet, the final positions are the same. So, equaling (1) and (2) and solving for t:

$x_0_s-\frac{a_st^2}{2}=\frac{a_st^2}{2}\\t^2(a_g+a_s)=2x_0_s\\t=\sqrt{\frac{2x_s_0}{a_g+a_s}}\\t=\sqrt{\frac{2(15m)}{0.13\frac{m}{s^2}+0.62\frac{m}{s^2}}}\\t=6.32s$

Now, we solve (1) for $x_f_g$

$x_f_g=\frac{0.13\frac{m}{s^2}(6.32s)^2}{2}\\x_f_g=2.6m\\x_f=2.6m$
