Answer:

5.92×10⁷ J

Explanation:

We'll begin by converting 15 tons to Newton. This can be obtained as follow:

1 ton = 9806.65 N

Therefore,

15 ton = 15 ton × 9806.65 N / 1 ton

15 ton = 147099.75 N

Next, we shall convert one-quarter (¼) or 0.25 mile to metre. This can be obtained as follow:

100 mi = 160934 m

0.25 mi = 0.25 mi × 160934 / 100 mi

0.25 mi = 402.335 m

Finally, we shall determine the Workdone. This can be obtained as follow:

Force (F) = 147099.75 N

Distance (d) = 402.335 m

Workdone (Wd) =?

Wd = F × d

Wd = 147099.75 × 402.335

Wd = 5.92×10⁷ J

Thus, the Workdone is 5.92×10⁷ J

dedylja [7]

According to Newton's second law

E.e = a * mp  ..... (1)

where

E is the magnitude of the electric field; e = 1.6 * 10^-19 is the elementary charge; mp = 1.67*10^-27 kg is the proton mass; a is the acceleration.

So, the distance

l = at^2/2 .......(2)

The proton accelerated

a = 2l / t^2 ...........(3)

From equations (1) and (3)

E= 32.51 V/m

Electric field

The physical field that surrounds electrically charged particles and exerts a force on all other charged particles in the field, either attracting or repelling them, is known as an electric field (also known as an E-field).  It can also refer to a system of charged particles' physical field. Electric charges and time-varying electric currents are the building blocks of electric fields. The electromagnetic field, one of the four fundamental interactions (also known as forces) of nature, manifests itself in both electric and magnetic fields.

What is the final speed of a 60 kg boulder dropped from a 111 meter cliff
saveliy_v [14]

After rolling off the edge of the cliff and falling ' M ' meters down,
the speed of the boulder is

       Square root of ( 19.6 M ) .

If M=111 meters, then the speed is <em>46.64 meters per second</em>.

We have known for roughly 500 years that if there's no air resistance,
the mass of the falling object makes no difference, and all objects fall
with the same acceleration, speed, time to splat, etc.

A student who was training for a cross country race jogged for 2. 0 hours and covered a distance of 14. 0 kilometers. What was t
FinnZ [79.3K]

The average speed is 116.66m/s.

Given - The path traced is 14km , time for jogging is 2 hrs=120min

To find the average speed-

  1. Speed refers to the ease of the movement and degree of mobility as a result of force application.
  2. Due to this there is involvement of velocity.
  3. Journey of average speed is the cumulative of distances and time.
  4. Kinetic theory refers to the Boltzmann constant connecting to the standards of distance traversed.

calculations-

Speed= \frac{Distance}{Time}

Speed= 14 000 / 120

= 116.66m/s

To learn more about average speed -

Which pair does NOT have an electric force between them?
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

Two Neutral

Explanation:

If; One postive, and one negative they would be attracked. >-<

If; one postive and the other was postive, (or vice versa) they would repel <->

they both have an electrical charge, and force.

Neutral's are Nueatral. they have to opisition or attraction= No electrical force.
