On Earth, a cannonball with a mass of 20 kg would weigh 196 Newtons.
With the formula F=mg, where F is the weight in Newtons, m is the mass, and g is the acceleration due to gravity on the Earth which is 9.8m/s^2.
F=20kg x 9.8m/s^2= 196 Newtons

BUT on the moon, acceleration due to gravity is 1.6 m/s^2,
so F=mg=20kgx1.6m/s^2= 32 N

Archy [21]

Answer:

a) 1.082 × 10⁻¹⁹C  ( e = 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹C)  

b) 3.466 × 10¹¹ N/C

Explanation:

a)

p(r) = -A exp ( - 2r/a₀)

Q = ₀∫^∞ ₀∫^π ₀∫^2xπ p(r)dV  =  -A  ₀∫^∞ ₀∫^π ₀∫^2π   exp ( - 2r/a₀)r² sinθdrdθd∅

Q = -4πA ₀∫^∞ exp ( - 2r/a₀)r²dr = -e

now using integration by parts;

A = e / πa₀³

p(r) =  - (e / πa₀³) exp (-2r/a₀)

Now Net charge inside a sphere of radius a₀ i.e Qnet is;

= e - (e / πa₀³)  ₀∫^a₀ ₀∫^π ₀∫^2π  r² exp (-2r/a₀)dr

= e - e + 5e exp (-2) = 1.082 × 10⁻¹⁹C  ( e = 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹C)  

b)

Using Gauss's law,

E × 4πa₀ ² = Qnet / ∈₀

E = 4πa₀ ² × Qnet × 1/a₀²

E = 3.466 × 10¹¹ N/C

Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

C = 1.77 \times 10^{-4} F

Explanation:

As we know that in AC circuit we have

V = i x_c

here we have

V = 59 V

i = 5.05 A

so we will have

x_c = \frac{59}{5.05}

x_c = 11.68 ohm

also we know that

x_c = \frac{1}{\omega C}

here we will have

11.68 = \frac{1}{(2\pi 77)C}

C = 1.77 \times 10^{-4} F

A 2-kg cart, traveling on a horizontal air track with a speed of 3m/s, collides with a stationary 4-kg cart. The carts stick tog
ladessa [460]

Answer:

The impulse exerted by one cart on the other has a magnitude of 4 N.s.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the first cart, m₁ = 2 kg

initial speed of the first car, u₁ = 3 m/s

mass of the second cart, m₂ = 4 kg

initial speed of the second cart, u₂ = 0

Let the final speed of both carts = v, since they stick together after collision.

Apply the principle of conservation of momentum to determine v

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = v(m₁ + m₂)

2 x 3 + 0 = v(2 + 4)

6 = 6v

v = 1 m/s

Impulse is given by;

I = ft = mΔv = m(

The impulse exerted by the first cart on the second cart is given;

I = 2 (3 -1 )

I = 4 N.s

The impulse exerted by the second cart on the first cart is given;

I = 4(0-1)

I = - 4 N.s (equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to the impulse exerted by the first).

Therefore, the impulse exerted by one cart on the other has a magnitude of 4 N.s.

eduard

Answer:

1190 N

Explanation:

Force: This can be defined as the product of mass and velocity. The unit of force is Newton(N).

From the question,

F = ma................. Equation 1

Where F = average force, m = mass, a = acceleration.

But,

a = (v-u)/t................ Equation 2

Where v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, t = time.

Substitute equation 2 into equation 1

F = m(v-u)/t.............. Equation 3

Given: m = 70 kg, v = 1.7 m/s, u = 0 m/s (from rest), t = 0.1 s.

Substitute into equation 3

F = 70(1.7-0)/0.1

F = 1190 N.

What material parameters determine resistivity?
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

Resistivity \rho =\frac{RA}{l}

It depends upon cross sectional area and length of material

Explanation:

The resistance of any material is given by R=\frac{\rho l}{A}, here \rho is the resistivity of material , l is length of material and A is cross sectional area

So resistivity \rho =\frac{RA}{l}

So resistuivity of any material depends upon area of cross section and length of material

If cross sectional area will be more then resistivity will be more. And is length of the material will be more then resistivity will be less
