Answer:

Transverse wave, motion in which all points on a wave oscillate along paths at right angles to the direction of the wave's advance. Surface ripples on water, seismic S (secondary) waves, and electromagnetic (e.g., radio and light) waves are examples of transverse waves.

An ion with charge of Q = +3.2 x 10-19 C is in a region where a uniform electric field of magnitude E = 5.0 X 105 V/m is perpend

san4es73 [151]

Answer:

option C

Explanation:

given,

Q = +3.2 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

E = 5.0 X 10⁵ V/m

B = 0.80 T

ion's acceleration is zero

when acceleration is zero the magnitude of both the forces becomes equal.

q E = q V B

v = $\dfrac{E}{B}$

v= $\dfrac{5 \times 10^5}{0.80}$

v = 6.25 × 10⁵ m/s ≈ 6.3 × 10⁵ m/s

hence, the correct answer is option C

Please help problems 2a.,2b.,3a.,and 3b.

Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

2a) x = 32 [mil/h]; 2b) t = 0.5[h]; 3a) t = 2.5 [h]; 3b) x = 185[mil]

Explanation:

2a)

We can solve this problem by using the kinematics equation, which relates speed to time and displacement.

$v=\frac{x}{t} \\v=velocity [\frac{mil}{h} ] = 32 [\frac{mil}{h}] \\t=time = 1 [h]\\x=v*t\\x=32[\frac{mil}{h} ]*1[h]\\x=32[mil}$

2b)

We can solve this problem by using the kinematics equation, which relates speed to time and displacement.

$v=\frac{x}{t} \\t=\frac{x}{v} \\t=\frac{420}{840}\\ t=0.5[h]$

3a)

We can solve this problem by using the kinematics equation, which relates speed to time and displacement.

$v=\frac{x}{t} \\t=\frac{x}{v} \\t=\frac{35}{14}\\ t=2.5[h]$

3b)

We can solve this problem by using the kinematics equation, which relates speed to time and displacement.

$v=\frac{x}{t} \\v=velocity [\frac{mil}{h} ] = 74 [\frac{mil}{h}] \\t=time = 2.5 [h]\\x=v*t\\x=74[\frac{mil}{h} ]*2.5[h]\\x=185[mil}$

An archer puts a 0.30-kg arrow to the bowstring. An average force of 201 N is exerted to draw the string back 1.3 m. Assuming th

vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

41.74 m/s

Explanation:

The energy used to draw the bowstring = the kinetic energy of the arrow.

Fd = 1/2mv²................................ Equation 1

Where F = force, d = distance move string, m = mass of the arrow, v = speed of the arrow.

make v the subject of the equation

v = √(2Fd/m)...................... Equation 2

Given: F = 201 N, m = 0.3 kg, d = 1.3 m.

Substitute into equation 2

v = √(2×201×1.3/0.3)

v = √(1742)

v = 41.74 m/s.

Hence the arrow leave the bow with a speed of 41.74 m/s
