Answer:

20.25 m

Explanation:

<u>Centripetal acceleration </u>is given by; the square of the velocity, divided by the radius of the circular path.

That is;

<em><u>ac = v²/r</u></em>

<em> </em><em><u> Where; ac = acceleration, centripetal, m/s², v is the velocity, m/s and r is the radius, m</u></em>

Therefore;

r = v²/ac

= 27²/36

= 20.25 m

Hence the radius is 20.25 meters

Answer: Third option.

Explanation: The equation for the centripetal acceleration in a circle is calculated as:

Ac = v^2/r

where v is the velocity of the car and r is the radius of the circle.

We know that Ac = 36 m/s^2 and v = 27 m/s, now we can replace it in the equation for Ac and find the value of r.

36 = 27^2/r

r= 27^2/36 = 20.25m

So the radius of the circle is 20.25m, the answer that is more close to it, is the third one, 20m

A simple and common technique for accelerating electrons is shown in the figure, where there is a uniform electric field between

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer : $4.483\times 10^{15}\ m/s^2$ .

Explanation:

It is given that,

Electric field strength, $E=2.55\times 10^{4}\ N/C$

We know that,

Charge of electron, $q=1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C$

Mass of electron, $m=9.1\times 10^{-31}\ kg$

From the definition of electric field, $F=qE$ ...............(1)

According to Newton's second law, F = ma..........(2)

From equation (1) and (2)

$ma=qE$

$a=\dfrac{qE}{m}$

$a=\dfrac{1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C\times 2.55\times 10^{4}\ N/C }{9.1\times 10^{-31}\ kg}$

$a=0.4483\times 10^{16}\ m/s^2$

or

$a=4.483\times 10^{15}\ m/s^2$

So, the horizontal component of acceleration of an electron is $4.483\times 10^{15}\ m/s^2$ .

Hence, it is the required solution.

Peter’s body supplies a force of 500 N to run up a 10-m hill in 10 s. How much power is involved in Peter’s run up the hill? Exp

shutvik [7]

Answer: 500 Watts

Explanation:

Power $P$ is the speed with which work $W$ is done. Its unit is Watts ( $W$ ), being $1 W=\frac{1 Joule}{1 s}$ .

Power is mathematically expressed as:

$P=\frac{W}{t}$ (1)

Where $t$ is the time during which work $W$ is performed.

On the other hand, the Work $W$ done by a Force $F$ refers to the release of potential energy from a body that is moved by the application of that force to overcome a resistance along a path. It is a scalar magnitude, and its unit in the International System of Units is the Joule (like energy). Therefore, 1 Joule is the work done by a force of 1 Newton when moving an object, in the direction of the force, along 1 meter ( $1J=(1N)(1m)=Nm$ ).

When the applied force is constant and the direction of the force and the direction of the movement are parallel, the equation to calculate it is:

$W=(F)(d)$ (2)

In this case, we have the following data:

$F=500 N$

$d=10 m$

$t=10 s$

So, let's calculate the work done by Peter and then find how much power is involved:

From (2):

$W=(500 N)(10 m)$ (3)

$W=5000 J$ (4)

Substituting (4) in (1):

$P=\frac{5000 J}{10 s}$ (5)

Finally:

$P=500 W$
