Answer:

W = 600 N

Explanation:

The mechanical advantage of any machine is the ratio of the load or weight to the effort applied. Hence, the general formula for mechanical advantage is as follows:

M.A = W/P

where,

M.A =Mechanical Advantage of Hammer = 10

W = Maximum force that could be generated = ?

P = Force created by me = 60 N

Therefore,

10 = W/60 N

W = 10*60 N

<u>W = 600 N</u>

Singly charged uranium-238 ions are accelerated through a potential difference of 2.90 kV and enter a uniform magnetic field of
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer: 0.091 m

Explanation:

r = 1/B * √(2mV/e), where

r = radius of their circular path

B = magnitude of magnetic field = 1.29 T

m = mass of Uranium -238 ion = 238 * amu = 238 * 1.6*10^-27 kg

V = potential difference = 2.9 kV

e = charge of the Uranium -238 ion = 1.6*10^-19 C

r = 1/1.29 * √[(2 * 238 * 1.6*10^-27 * 2900) / 1.6*10^-19]

r = 1/1.29 * √(2.21*10^-21 / 1.6*10^-19)

r = 1/1.29 * √0.0138

r = 1/1.29 * 0.117

r = 0.091 m

Therefore, the radius of their circular path is 0.091 m

A bullet is fired horizontally at a height of 1.3 meters and a velocity of 950 m/s. How long was the bullet in the air?
seropon [69]

Answer:

<em>The bullet was 0.52 seconds in the air.</em>

Explanation:

<u>Horizontal Motion </u>

It occurs when an object is thrown horizontally with a speed v from a height h.

The object describes a curved path ruled exclusively by gravity until it hits the ground.

To calculate the time the object takes to hit the ground, we use the following equation:

\displaystyle t=\sqrt{\frac{2y}{g}}

Note it doesn't depend on the initial velocity but on the height.

The bullet is fired horizontally at h=1.3 m, thus:

\displaystyle t=\sqrt{\frac{2\cdot 1.3}{9.8}}

\displaystyle t=\sqrt{\frac{2.6}{9.8}}

t = 0.52 s

The bullet was 0.52 seconds in the air.
