1.28m/s the velocity is found by distance/time.

Average speed- (35m/45s)= 7/9 meters per second.
Average velocity-(30w + 5m E) / (45s)= 25 m/s West.
Hope this helps. :)

Find the acceleration for a force of 2 N acting on 2 kg.

igomit [66]

Answer:

The acceleration of a 2 kg box acted on by a net force of 2 N is solved by using Newton’s second law of motion in the form acceleration = F_net / mass. Since the mass of the box is 2 kg and the net force is 2 N, the acceleration of the 2 kg box is 1 m/s^2.

A sample of a material has 200 radioactive particles in it today. Your grandfather measured 400 radioactive particles in it 60 y

sukhopar [10]

Answer:

Amount of radioactive particles left after 60 years = 100 particles.

Explanation:

Amount of radioactive particles before 60 years = 400

Amount of radioactive particles present today = 200

That is radio active particles reduced to half. That is 60 years is half life of this radio active material.

After 60 years this 200 radio active particles will reduce to half.

Amount of radioactive particles left after 60 years = 0.5 x 200 = 100 particles.

Find the kinetic energy of an electron whose de broglie wavelength is 34.0 nm.

dezoksy [38]

The De Broglie wavelength of the electron is
$\lambda=34.0 nm=34 \cdot 10^{-9} m$
And we can use De Broglie's relationship to find its momentum:
$p= \frac{h}{\lambda}= \frac{6.6 \cdot 10^{-34} Js}{34 \cdot 10^{-9} m}=1.94 \cdot 10^{-26} kg m/s$

Given $p=mv$ , with m being the electron mass and v its velocity, we can find the electron's velocity:
$v= \frac{p}{m}= \frac{1.94 \cdot 10^{-26} kgm/s}{9.1 \cdot 10^{-31} kg}= 2.13 \cdot 10^4 m/s$

This velocity is quite small compared to the speed of light, so the electron is non-relativistic and we can find its kinetic energy by using the non-relativistic formula:
$K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2= \frac{1}{2}(9.1 \cdot 10^{-31} kg)(2.13 \cdot 10^4 m/s)^2=2.06 \cdot 10^{-22} J$

Nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K). Fertilizers are supplements to healthy, living soil, not a solution to plant nutrition.
