1) The distance travelled by the electron is $1\cdot 10^{17} m$

2) The time taken is $4.0\cdot 10^{10}s$

Explanation:

1)

The electron in this problem is moving by uniformly accelerated motion (constant acceleration), so we can use the following suvat equation

$v^2-u^2=2as$

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

s is the distance travelled

For the electron in this problem,

$u=5\cdot 10^6 m/s$ is the initial velocity

v = 0 is the final velocity (it comes to a stop)

$a=-1.25\cdot 10^{-4} m/s^2$ is the acceleration

Solving for s, we find the distance travelled:

$s=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2a}=\frac{0-(5\cdot 10^6)^2}{2(-1.25\cdot 10^{-4})}=1\cdot 10^{17} m$

2)

The total time taken for the electron in its motion can also be found by using another suvat equation:

$v=u+at$

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

t is the time taken

Here we have

$u=5\cdot 10^6 m/s$

v = 0

$a=-1.25\cdot 10^{-4} m/s^2$

And solving for t, we find the time taken:

$t=\frac{v-u}{a}=\frac{0-5\cdot 10^6}{-1.25\cdot 10^{-4}}=4.0\cdot 10^{10}s$

Which car is harder to stop and why?

kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

The momentum of bath cars is 40000 Ns which make the difficulty to stop each car in aspect of fprce is the same.

Explanation:

Momentum (P) =mass(m) × velocity (v)

For car A,

P = m × v = 1000 × 40 = 40000 Ns

For car B,

P = m × v = 4000 × 10 = 40000 Ns

Force (F) = Momentum change(ΔΡ)/ time taken(t)

F = ΔΡ/t

When stopping the car the momentum changes from 40000 Ns to 0

So momentum change in both cars is the same. So to stop the two cars in a given time (t) you need the same force, which means you will feel same difficulty.

A photographer in a helicopter ascending vertically at a constant rate of accidentally drops a camera out the window when the he

maksim [4K]

Answer:

The time it takes for the camera to reach the ground is 5 s.

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we will use the free fall cinematic equation.

Since the helicopter ascends with constant speed, the camera falls to the ground only by the effect of gravity on it.

The speed at which the helicopter ascends is not specified in the statement, but according to a similar problem, we will use 12.5 $\frac{m}{s}$ .

First, we must calculate the time and the maximum height at which the camera arrives after leaving the helicopter.

To calculate the maximum height to which it arrives, we will use the formula of vertical shot (since the camera leaves the helicopter with a speed upwards of 12,5 $\frac{m}{s}$ ).

$V_{f} ^{2}$ = $V_{0} ^{2}$ - 2 * g * h

Where:

$V_{f}$ : final speed at maximum height.

$V_{0}$ : initial speed when it falls from the helicopter.

g: gravity taken at 9.8 $\frac{m}{s^{2} }$

h: height reached from 60 m when leaving the helicopter

as $V_{f}$ =0

0= $(12,5\frac{m}{s}) ^{2}$ - 2 * $9,8\frac{m}{s^{2} }$ * h

clear h:

h= $(12,5 \frac{m}{s^{2} } )^{2}$ / (2 * $9,8 \frac{m}{s^{2} }$ )

h=7,97 m

Then we must calculate the time it takes to reach its maximum height:

$V_{f}$ = $V_{0}$ - g * t

t: time it takes to arrive from the moment it leaves the helicopter at its maximum height.

as $V_{f}$ =0

0=12.5 $\frac{m}{s}$ - 9.8 $\frac{m}{s^{2} }$ * t

clearing t

t=12.5 $\frac{m}{s}$ / 9.8 $\frac{m}{s^{2} }$

t=1.27 s.

Now we can calculate the time it takes to fall from the maximum height of 67.97 m.

The equation we will use is Y= $v_{0}*t+(\frac{g*t^{2} }{2} )$

where:

t: time it takes for the camera to fall.

Y: height from where the camera falls concerning the ground.

$v_{0}$ : initial speed of the camera at the time of starting the fall.

g: acceleration of gravity, estimated at 9.8 $\frac{m}{s^{2} }$

Step 1: As the helicopter ascends with constant speed, the initial speed of the camera at the moment of falling is 0.

$v_{0}$ =0

So the first term of our equation is nullified.

Step 2: To calculate the time it takes to fall, we clear "t" of the equation:

Y= $\frac{(g*t^{2})}{2}$

Y*2=(g* $t^{2}$ )

$\frac{Y*2}{g}$ = $t^{2}$

$\sqrt{\frac{Y*2}{g} }$ =t

Step 3: I replace the values with the incognites and get "t".

t= $\sqrt{\frac{67,97m*2}{9,8\frac{m}{s^{2} } } }$

t=3,73 s

The total time it takes for the camera to fall from the moment it leaves the helicopter is the sum of the time it takes to reach the maximum point of height and the time it takes to fall to the ground from that height.

t= 1,27 s + 3,73 s = 5 s

Have a nice day!

If ice didn't float, but sank instead, this change wouldn't affect aquatic life. true of false

ruslelena [56]

Answer:

No it will not (false)

Explanation:

I say this because if anything the ice will sink and melt from a solid to a liquid and that will lead to i guess more water for the aquatic life. (THIS IS A THEORY SHAWTY)
