Rocks and Continental shapes because if you put the continents together they will be very close to match and if you find a fossil (like south america) and a fossil in africa they will be the same animals . <span />

A speed boat increases its speed uniformly from vi = 20.0 m/s to vf = 30.0 m/s in a distance of 2.00 x 10^2m. (a) Draw a coordin
pychu [463]

a) See graph in attachment

b) The suvat equation to use is v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2as

c) The acceleration is a=\frac{v_f^2-v_i^2}{2s}

d) The acceleration is 1.25 m/s^2

e) The time needed is 8 s

Explanation:

a)

For this part, find in attachment the diagram representing this situation.

Since we are not given any particular direction for the motion, we choose the x-direction as the direction of motion of the boat.

Then we have the following:

- The initial position of the boat is x_i = 0, the origin

- The  final position of the boat is x_f = 200 m

- The initial velocity of the boat is v_i = 20.0 m/s

- The final velocity of the boat is v_f = 30.0 m/s

Note that the arrow representing the final velocity is longer than that of the initial velocity, since the final velocity is larger.

b)

The motion of the speed boat is a uniformly accelerated motion (motion at constant acceleration), therefore we can use one of the suvat equations. In this particular problem, we know the following quantities:

v_i = 20.0 m/s, the initial velocity

v_f = 30.0 m/s, the final velocity

s = x_f - x_i = 200 m, the  displacement of the boat

Therefore, the equation that best can be use to find the acceleration is

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2as

where

a is the acceleration

c)

Now we have to solve the equation

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2as

In order to find the acceleration.

This can be done by dividing both terms by 2s: this way, we find

\frac{v_f^2-v_i^2}{2s}=\frac{2as}{2s}

And so the acceleration is

a=\frac{v_f^2-v_i^2}{2s}

d)

Now we can use the equation found in part c) in order to find the acceleration.

We have the following data:

v_i = 20.0 m/s, the initial velocity

v_f = 30.0 m/s, the final velocity

s = x_f - x_i = 200 m, the  displacement of the boat

And substituting into the equation,

a=\frac{30^2-20^2}{2(200)}=1.25 m/s^2

e)

In order to find the time it takes the boat to travel the given distance, we can use the following suvat equation:

v_f = v_i + at

where:

v_i is the initial velocity

v_f is the final velocity

a is the acceleration

t is the time

Here we have:

v_i = 20.0 m/s

v_f = 30.0 m/s

a=1.25 m/s^2

Solving for t, we find:

t=\frac{v_f-v_i}{a}=\frac{30-20}{1.25}=8 s

The magnitude of Earth’s magnetic field is about 0.5 gauss near Earth’s surface. What’s the maximum possible magnetic force on a
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

F = 1.5 \times 10^{-16} N

this force is 1.68 \times 10^{13} times more than the gravitational force

Explanation:

Kinetic Energy of the electron is given as

KE = 1 keV

KE = 1 \times 10^3 (1.6 \times 10^{-19}) J

KE = 1.6 \times 10^{-16} J

now the speed of electron is given as

KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

now we have

v = \sqrt{\frac{2 KE}{m}}

v = 1.87 \times 10^7 m/s

now the maximum force due to magnetic field is given as

F = qvB

F = (1.6\times 10^{-19})(1.87 \times 10^7)(0.5 \times 10^{-4})

F = 1.5 \times 10^{-16} N

Now if this force is compared by the gravitational force on the electron then it is

\frac{F}{F_g} = \frac{1.5 \times 10^{-16}}{9.1 \times 10^{-31} (9.8)}

\frac{F}{F_g} = 1.68 \times 10^{13}

so this force is 1.68 \times 10^{13} times more than the gravitational force

The maximum wavelength For photoelectric emissions in tungsten is 230 nm. What wavelength of light must be use in order for elec
notka56 [123]

Answer:

λ = 1.8 x 10⁻⁷ m = 180 nm

Explanation:

First we find the work function of tungsten by using the following formula:

∅ = hc/λmax

where,

∅ = work function = ?

h = Plank's Constant = 6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s

c = speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

λmax = maximum wavelength for photoelectric emission = 230 nm

λmax = 2.3 x 10⁻⁷ m

Therefore,

∅ = (6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s)(3 x 10⁸ m/s)/(2.3 x 10⁻⁷ m)

∅ = 8.64 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

Now we convert Kinetic Energy of electron into Joules:

K.E = (1.5 eV)(1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ J/1 eV)

K.E = 2.4 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

Now, we use Einstein's Photoelectric Equation:

Energy of Photon = ∅ + K.E

Therefore,

Energy of Photon = 8.64 x 10⁻¹⁹ J + 2.4 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

Energy of Photon = 11.04 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

but,

Energy of Photon = hc/λ

where,

λ = wavelength of light = ?

Therefore,

11.04 x 10⁻¹⁹ J = (6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s)(3 x 10⁸ m/s)/λ

λ = (6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s)(3 x 10⁸ m/s)/(11.04 x 10⁻¹⁹ J)

<u>λ = 1.8 x 10⁻⁷ m = 180 nm</u>
