The largest salami in the world was made in Norway. If a hungry mouse ran around the salami's circumference with a tangential sp

eed of 0.17 m/s, the centripetal acceleration of the mouse was 0.29 m/s^2. What was the radius of the salami?

Answer:

Radius of the salami = 9.9 cm

Explanation:

The formula for calculating the radius is given below:

a = v^2/r

where a represents acceleration

v represents velocity

r represents radius

As hungry mouse ran around the salami's circumference with a tangential speed of 0.17 m/s so that means velocity = 0.17 m/s.

The centripetal acceleration of the mouse = 0.29 m/s^2

putting these values in the above formula, we get

0.29 = 0.17^2 / r

After rearranging, we get,

r = 0.17^2 / 0.29

r = 0.099 m

r = 9.9 cm

so the radius of the salami = 9.9 cm

The asteroid 2007 VK184 has one chance in 2940 of hitting the Earth between the years 2048 and 2057. The asteroid is 130 meters

N76 [4]

Answer:

The average death rate for this type of event is closest to 350 people per event.

Explanation:

Between the years 2048 and 2057

Is 10 years. Since there is only one chance of event between these years, there is no point to consider it.

The total number of events = 2940 chances.

average death rate per event = total number of dead people divided by total number of events of occurrence.

1000000/2940 = 340.134

The average death rate for this type of event is therefore closest to 350 people per event

A ball is dropped from a height of 20 meters. At what height does the ball have a velocity of 10 meters/second?

borishaifa [10]

Answer:B

Explanation:

Initial velocity, u=0m/s

Distance,s=20m

a=+g=9.8m/s*s

Using v*v=u*u+2gs

v*v=0+2*9.8*20

v*v=392

v=19.8

When s=20m, v = 19.8m/s

Therefore when v = 10m/s, s= 10*20/19.8

s =10.1m

In a Hydrogen atom an electron rotates around a stationary proton in a circular orbit with an approximate radius of r =0.053nm.

leonid [27]

Answer:

(a): $F_e = 8.202\times 10^{-8}\ \rm N.$

(b): $F_g = 3.6125\times 10^{-47}\ \rm N.$

(c): $\dfrac{F_e}{F_g}=2.27\times 10^{39}.$

Explanation:

Given that an electron revolves around the hydrogen atom in a circular orbit of radius r = 0.053 nm = 0.053 $\times 10^{-9}$ m.

Part (a):

According to Coulomb's law, the magnitude of the electrostatic force of interaction between two charged particles of charges $q_1$ and $q_2$ respectively is given by

$F_e = \dfrac{k|q_1||q_2|}{r^2}$

where,

$k$ = Coulomb's constant = $9\times 10^9\ \rm Nm^2/C^2.$
$r$ = distance of separation between the charges.

For the given system,

The Hydrogen atom consists of a single proton, therefore, the charge on the Hydrogen atom, $q_1 = +1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C.$

The charge on the electron, $q_2 = -1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C.$

These two are separated by the distance, $r = 0.053\times 10^{-9}\ m.$

Thus, the magnitude of the electrostatic force of attraction between the electron and the proton is given by

$F_e = \dfrac{(9\times 10^9)\times |+1.6\times 10^{-19}|\times |-1.6\times 10^{-19}|}{(0.053\times 10^{-9})^2}=8.202\times 10^{-8}\ \rm N.$

Part (b):

The gravitational force of attraction between two objects of masses $m_1$ and $m_1$ respectively is given by

$F_g = \dfrac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}.$

where,

$G$ = Universal Gravitational constant = $6.67\times 10^{-11}\ \rm Nm^2/kg^2.$
$r$ = distance of separation between the masses.

For the given system,

The mass of proton, $m_1 = 1.67\times 10^{-27}\ kg.$

The mass of the electron, $m_2 = 9.11\times 10^{-31}\ kg.$

Distance between the two, $r = 0.053\times 10^{-9}\ m.$

Thus, the magnitude of the gravitational force of attraction between the electron and the proton is given by

$F_g = \dfrac{(6.67\times 10^{-11})\times (1.67\times 10^{-27})\times (9.11\times 10^{-31})}{(0.053\times 10^{-9})^2}=3.6125\times 10^{-47}\ \rm N.$

The ratio $\dfrac{F_e}{F_g}$ :

$\dfrac{F_e}{F_g}=\dfrac{8.202\times 10^{-8}}{3.6125\times 10^{-47}}=2.27\times 10^{39}.$
