What is terminal velocity and when is it reached?

1 answer:

8 0

Terminal velocity is the velocity at which a falling body experience when its weight is equal to the force resistance of force opposing the fall.

At terminal velocity the acceleration of the body is zero, which implies that the value of the this velocity is a uniform.

Answer:

Please do not take my word for this at all, but this is what I found, "When the pendulum swings back down, the potential energy is converted back into kinetic energy. At all times, the sum of potential and kinetic energy is constant." So I think the answer is B also you are anime fan too lol :DD I love hinata

Could a nucleus that has one proton but no neutrons exist?

diamong [38]

Yes, but there is only 1 atom like that and is is hydrogen. Hydrogen is the only element that could have a nucleus with one proton and no neutrons exist.

Options: A.) 10 N B.) 15 N C.) 25 N D.) 35N

Given:

F_gravity = 10 N

F_tension = 25 N

Let's find the net centripetal force exterted on the ball.

Apply the formula:

$\sum ^{}_{}F_{\text{net}}=F_1+F_2=F_{centripetal}$

From the given figure, the force acting towards the circular path will be positive, while the force which points directly away from the center is negative.

Hence, the tensional force is positive while the gravitational force is negative.

Thus, we have:

$F_{\text{net}}=F_{\text{centripetal}}=F_{tension}-F_{gravity}=25N-10N=15N$

Therefore, the net centripetal force exterted on the ball is 15 N.

ANSWER:

15 N

In an experiment, 108 J of work was done on a closed system. During this phase of the experiment, 79 J of heat energy was added

amid [387]

Answer:

187 J

Explanation:

First Law of Thermodynamics :

ΔQ = ΔW + ΔU

ΔQ : Heat. If it added to system then positive and if it is rejected by system then negative.

ΔW : Work. If it done by the system then positive and if it is done on system then negative.

ΔU : Internal Energy. If it positive then temperature of system increased and if it is negative then temperature of system decreased.

ΔQ = 79 J

ΔW = - 108 J

ΔU = ?

substituting the value in the equation:

79 = -108 + ΔU

∴ ΔU = 187 J

Americium-241 is used in smoke detectors. It undergoes alpha decay with a half life of 432 years. The alpha particles ionize som

babymother [125]

Answer:

860.6 years.

Explanation:

The parameters given are;

Initial detector activity = 370000 alpha decays per second

Final detector activity = 93000 alpha decays per second

Formula for time to change in activity is given by the following relation;

$t_{93000} = \dfrac{-ln\dfrac{A}{A_0} }{\lambda} = \dfrac{-ln\dfrac{93000}{370000} }{5.08 \times 10^{-11}} = 2.72 \times 10^{10} \, seconds$

t₉₃₀₀₀ = 2.72 × 10¹⁰ seconds = 860.6 years.
