A student releases a marble from the top of a ramp. The marble increases
Fed [463]

Answer:

Vf = 69.56 cm/s

Explanation:

In order to find the final speed of the ramp, we will use the equations of motion. First we use second equation of motion to find out the acceleration of marble:

s = Vi t + (1/2)at²

where,

s = distance traveled = 160 cm

Vi = Initial Speed = 0 cm/s (since, marble starts from rest)

t = time interval = 4.6 s

a = acceleration = ?

Therefore,

160 cm = (0 cm/s)(4.6 s) + (1/2)(a)(4.6 s)²

a = (320 cm)/(4.6 s)²

a = 15.12 cm/s²

Now, we use first equation of motion:

Vf = Vi + at

Vf = 0 cm/s + (15.12 cm/s²)(4.6 s)

<u>Vf = 69.56 cm/s</u>

what is the name of the area around a charged object where the object can exert a force on other charged objects?
shusha [124]

Answer:

An electric field is a region around a charged object where the object's electric force is exerted on other charged objects. Electric fields get weaker the farther away they are from the charge. An electric field is invisible. You can use the field line to represent it.

Imagine that asteroid A that has an escape velocity of 50 m/s. If asteroid B has twice the mass and twice the radius, it would h
padilas [110]

Answer:

The same as the escape velocity of asteorid A (50m/s)

Explanation:

The escape velocity is described as follows:

v=\sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R}}

where G is the universal gravitational constant, M is the mass of the asteroid and R is the radius

and since the scape velocity is 50m/s:

50m/s=\sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R}}

Now, if the astroid B has twice mass and twice the radius, we have that tha mass is: 2M

and the radius is: 2R

inserting these values into the formula for escape velocity:

v=\sqrt{\frac{2G(2M)}{2R} } =\sqrt{\frac{4GM}{2R} } =\sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R} }

and we have found that 50m/s=\sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R}}, so the two asteroids have the same escape velocity.

We found that the expression for escape velocity remains the same as for asteroid A, this because both quantities (radius and mass) doubled, so it does not affect the equation.

The answer is

Asteroid B would have an escape velocity the same as the escape velocity of asteroid A

A heat engine exhausts 3 000 J of heat while performing 1 500 J of useful work. What is the efficiency of the engine
amid [387]

efficiency=work output/work input×100

since it exhausts(use up)3000j of heat that's the work input and the 1500j is the work input

efficiency=1500/3000×100

=50%

Pure silicon contains approximately 1.0 X 1016 free electrons per cubic meter. (
Margarita [4]
A. The formula for mean free time is:

t = V/(4π√2 r²vN)
where
N = 1×10¹⁶ molecules (per m³)
V = 1 m³
r = 111×10⁻⁷m (atomic radius of silicon)

Let's solve for v first:
v = √(3RT/M) = √(3(8.314 m³·Pa/mol·K)(25 + 273 K)/28.1 g/mol Si)
v = 16.26 m/s

t = (1 m³)/(4π√2 (111×10⁻⁷m)²(16.26 m/s)(1×10¹⁶ molecules))
<em>t = 2.81×10⁻9 s</em>

<em>Pure silicon has a high resistivity relative to copper because copper is a conductor, while silicon is a semi-conductor. </em>
