Elan Coil [88]3 years ago

6 0

Answer:

1470kgm/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the rock = 50kg

Time taken for the free fall = 3s

Unknown:

Change in momentum = ?

Solution:

The change in momentum will be difference between the ending momentum and finishing momentum.

Momentum is the product of mass and velocity

Momentum = mass x velocity

Initial momentum = 0, the velocity is 0

Final momentum = mass x final velocity

let us find the final velocity;

V = U + gt

V is the final velocity

U is the initial velocity

g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s²

t is the time

V = 0 + 9.8x3 = 29.4m/s

So;

Change in momentum = 50 x 29,4 = 1470kgm/s

The potential difference between two equipotential lines 5.0 mm apart has a value of 1.2 V, calculate the electric field value.

jonny [76]

Answer:

The electric field value is 240 N/C

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance = 5.0 mm

Potential difference = 1.2 V

We need to calculate the electric field value

Using formula of potential difference

$\Delta V=Ed$

$E=\dfrac{\Delta V}{d}$

Where, E = electric field

V = potential difference

d = distance

Put the value into the formula

$E=\dfrac{1.2}{5.0\times10^{-3}}$

$E= 240\ N/C$

Hence, The electric field value is 240 N/C

An object is given a very small amount of charge. Which of the following could

spayn [35]

5.4*10^-19 C

Explanation:

For the purposes of this question, charges essentially come in packages that are the size of an electron (or proton since they have the same magnitude of charge). The charge on an electron is -1.6*10^-19

Therefore, any object should have a charge that is a multiple of the charge of an electron - It would not make sense to have a charge equivalent to 1.5 electrons since you can't exactly split the electron in half. So the charge of any integer number of electrons can be transferred to another object.

Charge = q(electron)*n(#electrons)

Since 5.4/1.6 = 3.375, we know that it can not be the right answer because the answer is not an integer.

If you divide every other option listed by the charge of an electron, you will get an integer number.

(16*10^-19 C)/(1.6*10^-19C) = 10

(-6.4*10^-19 C)/(1.6*10^-19C) = -4

(4.8*10^-19 C)/(1.6*10^-19C) = 3

(5.4*10^-19 C)/(1.6*10^-19C) = 3.375

(3.2*10^-19C)/(1.6*10^-19C) = 2

etc.

I hope this helps!

Given that the speed of sound in air is 330m/s ,calculate the frequency of a note which setup a wavelength of 5cm in air.Is this

Pie

Explanation:

v = wavelength x frequency

330 = 5 . 10-² m x f

f = 6600 Hz

the frequency that human can hear is about 20 Hz - 20000 Hz

so human can hear the note.

Calculate the force that the 4kg block exerts on the 10kg block

Kryger [21]

Acceleration=force/mass=28/(10+4)=2m/s^2

force10kg=ma=10*2

the4 kg is pushing against the 10kg block

vf=vi+at
-10=20*28/14 * t
t=30/2=15sec

What is the energy stored between 2 Carbon nuclei that are 1.00 nm apart from each other? HINT: Carbon nuclei have 6 protons and

Andrei [34K]

Answer:

$A. 8.29\times 10^{-18}\ J$

Explanation:

Given that:

p = magnitude of charge on a proton = $1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C$

k = Boltzmann constant = $9\times 10^{9}\ Nm^2/C^2$

r = distance between the two carbon nuclei = 1.00 nm = $1.00\times 10^{-9}\ m$

Since a carbon nucleus contains 6 protons.

So, charge on a carbon nucleus is $q = 6p=6\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C=9.6\times 10^{-19}\ C$

We know that the electric potential energy between two charges q and Q separated by a distance r is given by:

$U = \dfrac{kQq}{r}$

So, the potential energy between the two nuclei of carbon is as below:

$U= \dfrac{kqq}{r}\\\Rightarrow U = \dfrac{kq^2}{r}\\\Rightarrow U = \dfrac{9\times10^9\times (9.6\times 10^{-19})^2}{1.0\times 10^{-9}}\\\Rightarrow U =8.29\times 10^{-18}\ J$

Hence, the energy stored between two nuclei of carbon is $8.29\times 10^{-18}\ J$ .
