Due to the decrease in the gravitational force, it will take longer time for ball to reach the ground while dribbling. Moreover, the hang time of players will also be longer. This means that the players will stay on air longer and will be able to jump higher.

They would be able to jump higher with less effort the ball would weigh less meaning it could be dribbled with little to no effort there would also be the fact that your running would be effected.your legs would come off the ground if only for an inch or two allowing you to travel faster but with less control

A 2MeV proton is moving perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field of 2.5 T.the force on a proton is
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

7.8x10-12N

Explanation:

We know that

Magnetic force = F = qVB

And

Also Kinetic energy K.E is

E = (1/2)mV²

So making v subject

V = √(2E / m)

And

E = KE = 2MeV

= 2 × 106 eV

= 2 × 106 × 1.6 × 10–19 J

= 3.2 × 10–13 J

And then

V= √2x3.2E-13/1.6E-27

1.9E7m/s

Given that

mass of proton = 1.6 × 10–27 kg,

Magnetic field strength B = 2.5 T.

So F= qBv sinစ

=

So F = 1.6 × 10–19 × 2.5 × 1.9 x10^7 x sin 90°

= 7.8 x 10^-12N

A police car is driving north with a siren making a frequency of 1038 hz. Moops is driving north behind the police car at 12 m/s
Marianna [84]

Answer:

The police car is moving at 41.24 m/s.

Explanation:

To find the speed of the police car we need to use the Doppler equation:

f = f_{0}(\frac{v + v_{r}}{v + v_{s}})      

Where:

v: is the speed of the sound = 343 m/s

v_{r}: is the speed of the receiver = 12 m/s

v_{s}: is the speed of the source =?

f: is the observed frequency = 959 Hz

f₀: is the emitted frequency = 1038 Hz          

Both terms are positive in the fraction because the velocity of the sound is in the opposite direction to both velocities of the police car and the other car.  

By solving the above equation for v_{s} we have:        

v_{s} = \frac{f_{0}(v + v_{r})}{f} - v = \frac{1038(343 + 12)}{959} - 343 = 41.24 m/s  

Therefore, the police car is moving at 41.24 m/s.

I hope it helps you!

At what distance would the repulsive force between two electrons have a magnitude of 4.0 N?
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

7.6\cdot 10^{-15} m

Explanation:

The electrostatic force between two electrons is given by:

F=k\frac{e^2}{r^2}

where

k=8.99\cdot 10^9 Nm^2C^{-2} is the Coulomb's constant

e=-1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C is the electron charge

r is the distance between the two electrons

In this problem, we know F=4.0 N, so we can re-arrange the equation to calculate r:

r=\sqrt{\frac{ke^2}{F}}=\sqrt{\frac{(8.99\cdot 10^9)(-1.6\cdot 10^{-19})^2}{4.0 N}}=7.6\cdot 10^{-15} m
