Answer:

energy can move from one location to another, the particles of matter in the medium return to their fixed position. A wave transports its energy without transporting matter.

n 38 g rifle bullet traveling at 410 m/s buries itself in a 4.2 kg pendulum hanging on a 2.8 m long string, which makes the pend

Kitty [74]

Answer:

68cm

Explanation:

You can solve this problem by using the momentum conservation and energy conservation. By using the conservation of the momentum you get

$p_f=p_i\\mv_1+Mv_2=(m+M)v$

m: mass of the bullet

M: mass of the pendulum

v1: velocity of the bullet = 410m/s

v2: velocity of the pendulum =0m/s

v: velocity of both bullet ad pendulum joint

By replacing you can find v:

$(0.038kg)(410m/s)+0=(0.038kg+4.2kg)v\\\\v=3.67\frac{m}{s}$

this value of v is used as the velocity of the total kinetic energy of the block of pendulum and bullet. This energy equals the potential energy for the maximum height reached by the block:

$E_{fp}=E_{ki}\\\\(m+M)gh=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

g: 9.8/s^2

h: height

By doing h the subject of the equation and replacing you obtain:

$(0.038kg+4.2kg)(9.8m/s^2)h=\frac{1}{2}(0.038kg+4.2kg)(3.67m/s)^2\\\\h=0.68m$

hence, the heigth is 68cm

How does the electrostatic force compare with the strong nuclear force in the

diamong [38]

Answer:

Strong nuclear force is 1-2 order of magnitude larger than the electrostatic force

Explanation:

There are mainly two forces acting between protons and neutrons in the nucleus:

- The electrostatic force, which is the force exerted between charged particles (therefore, it is exerted between protons only, since neutrons are not charged). The magnitude of the force is given by

$F_E=\frac{kq_1 q_2}{r^2}$

where k is the Coulomb's constant, q1 and q2 are the charges of the two particles, r is the separation between the particles.

The force is attractive for two opposite charges and repulsive for two same charges: therefore, the electrostatic force between two protons is repulsive.

- The strong nuclear force, which is the force exerted between nucleons. At short distance (such as in the nucleus), it is attractive, therefore neutrons and protons attract each other and this contributes in keeping the whole nucleus together.

At the scale involved in the nucleus, the strong nuclear force (attractive) is 1-2 order of magnitude larger than the electrostatic force (repulsive), therefore the nucleus stays together and does not break apart.

Much power does a 10 Ohm bulb have in a series circuit with a battery of 12V and nothing else in the the circuit?

Sedaia [141]

Answer:

it will be d) 14.4W

Explanation:

potential difference (v) = 12 volts

resistance (r) = 10 ohms

now, we know

=》

$power = \frac{v {}^{2} }{r}$

=》

$power \: = \frac{12 {}^{2} }{10}$

=》

$power = \frac{144}{10}$

=》

$power = 14.4 \: watt$

The magnitude J(r) of the current density in a certain cylindrical wire is given as a function of radial distance from the cente

Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

18.1 × 10⁻⁶ A = 18.1 μA

Explanation:

The current I in the wire is I = ∫∫J(r)rdrdθ

Since J(r) = Br, in the cylindrical wire. With width of 10.0 μm, dr = 10.0 μm. r = 1.20 mm. We have a differential current dI. We integrate first by integrating dθ from θ = 0 to θ = 2π.

So, dI = J(r)rdrdθ

dI/dr = ∫J(r)rdθ = ∫Br²dθ = Br²∫dθ = 2πBr²

Now I = (dI/dr)dr at r = 1.20 mm = 1.20 × 10⁻³ m and dr = 10.0 μm = 0.010 mm = 0.010 × 10⁻³ m

I = (2πBr²)dr = 2π × 2.00 × 10⁵ A/m³ × (1.20 × 10⁻³ m)² × 0.010 × 10⁻³ m = 0.181 × 10⁻⁴ A = 18.1 × 10⁻⁶ A = 18.1 μA
