A penny is dropped from the top of a building 290 m high. Ignoring air resistance, if

Physics
1 answer:
Kryger [21]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

1. Velocity = 75.39 m/s

2. Air resistance

3. Mass of the coin

Explanation:

1. Given that the height of the building is 290 m. From Newton's third law of motion,

V^{2} = U^{2} + 2gh

where: V is the final velocity of the coin, U is the initial velocity, g is the force of gravity and h is the height.

Since the coin was dropped from a height, its initial velocity is zero. The force of gravity is taken as 9.8 m/s^{2}, so that:

V^{2} = 0 + 2 x 9.8 x 290

   = 5684

V   = \sqrt{5684}

    = 75.3923

The velocity with which the coin hits the ground is 75.39 m/s.

2. Air resistance: During the free fall of the coin, the direction of wind flow could either cause an increase or decrease the value predicted.

ii. Mass of the coin: This can also affect the predicted value.

Two electrons are initially at rest separated by a distance of 2nm. At time t=0, they start to move apart due to Coulombic repul
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

t=2.5\times 10^{-14}\ s

Explanation:

We know that charge on electron

q=1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C

r= 2 nm

We know that force between two charge given

F=K\dfrac{Q_1Q_2}{r^2}

Now by putting the value

F=9\times10^9\dfrac{1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}{(2\times 10^{-9})^2}

F=5.67\times 10^{-11}\ N

We know that mass of electron

The mass of electron

m=9.1\times 10^{-31}\ kg

F= m a

a= Acceleration of electron

a= F/m

a=\dfrac{5.67\times 10^{-11}}{9.1\times 10^{-31}}\ m/s^2

a=6.2\times 10^{19} m/s^2

S=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2

initial velocity given that zero ,u=0

20\times 10^{-9}=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 6.2\times 10^{19} t^2

t=\sqrt {\dfrac{40\times 10^{-9}}{6.2\times 10^{19}}}

t=2.5\times 10^{-14}\ s

The half-life of the radioactive element beryllium-13 is 5 × 10-10 seconds, and half-life of the radioactive element beryllium-1
telo118 [61]
<h2>Answer: The half-life of beryllium-15 is 400 times greater than the half-life of beryllium-13.</h2>

Explanation:

The half-life h of a radioactive isotope refers to its decay period, which is the average lifetime of an atom before it disintegrates.

In this case, we are given the half life of two elements:

beryllium-13: h_{B-13}=5(10)^{-10}s=0.0000000005s

beryllium-15: h_{B-15}=2(10)^{-7}s=0.0000002s

As we can see, the half-life of beryllium-15 is greater than the half-life of beryllium-13, but how great?

We can find it out by the following expression:

h_{B-15}=X.h_{B-13}

Where X is the amount we want to find:

X=\frac{h_{B-15}}{h_{B-13}}

X=\frac{2(10)^{-7}s}{5(10)^{-10}s}

Finally:

X=400

Therefore:

The half-life of beryllium-15 is <u>400 times greater than</u> the half-life of beryllium-13.

A horizontal spring with spring constant 950 N/m is attached to a wall. An athlete presses against the free end of the spring, c
OLga [1]

Answer:

66.5N

Explanation:

F = kx

Where F = force

K = spring constant

x = compression

Given

K = 950N/m

x = 7.0cm

F = ?

First convert the compression to meters .

7.0cm = 7.0 x 0.01

= 0.07 meters

Therefore

F = 950 x 0.07

= 66.5N
