Accelerating at 9.8 m/s² means that every second, the speed is 9.8 m/s faster than it was a second earlier.  It's not important to the problem, but this number (9.8) happens to be the acceleration of gravity on Earth.

1% of the speed of light = (300,000,000 m/s) / 100 = 3,000,000 m/s .

Starting from zero speed, moving (9.8 m/s) faster every second,
how long does it take to reach  3,000,000 m/s ?

           (3,000,000 m/s) / (9.8 m/s²)  =  306,122 seconds .
                                                   (That's  5,102 minutes.)
                                                        (That's  85 hours.)
                                                     (That's  3.54 days.)

Speed at the beginning . . . zero .
Speed at the end . . . 3,000,000 m/s
Average speed . . . . . 1,500,000 m/s

Distance = (average speed) x (time)

               = (1,500,000 m/s) x (306,122 sec) = 4.592 x 10¹¹ meters

                                                                     =  459 million kilometers

                         That's like from Earth
                                                  to       Sun
                                                             to    Earth
                                                                    to        Sun.

Doug, who runs track for his high school, was challenged to a race by his younger brother, matt. Matt started running first, and
eduard

The speed of Matt is 10 mph.

Doug runs 2 miles an hour faster than Matt, so let Matt’s speed equal x miles per hour. Then Doug’s speed equals x + 2 miles per hour. Each lap is one-quarter of a mile, so Doug runs 1.5 miles in the time it takes Matt to run 1.25 miles.

Rate of Matt is x

Rate of Dough is (x + 2)

Time taken by Matt is 1.25/x

Time taken by Dough is 1.25/(x + 2)

Distance covered by Matt is 1.25

Distance covered by Dough is 1.5

Dough and  Matt  took the same amount of time from the time Doug started, so make an equation by setting the two times in the chart equal to each other, and then solve for x:

            \frac{1.5}{(x + 2)} = \frac{1.25}{x}

              1.5x = 1.25(x + 2)

              1.5x = 1.25x + 2.5

           0.25x = 2.5

                   x = 10

So Matt ran at 10 miles per hour.

A child attempts to roll a ball up a long ramp and it slows as it goes up. If it is released at 2.5 m/s upward and accelerates d
valina [46]

Answer:

-0.7 m/s

Explanation:

Initial velocity (u)= 2.5 m/s

Acceleleration (a)= -0.8 m/s^2

Time taken (t) = 4  seconds

Hence,

v=u+at [1st Equation of motion]

v=2.5+-0.8*4

v=2.5-3.2

v=-0.7 m/s

Note that the negative sign indicates that the ball has changed direction and rolls downwards with gravity

Heating gas to create plasma can yield?
leva [86]
When a gas is heated to become a plasma, the atoms (or the molecules) of the gas become ionised. In the ionisation, the atoms loose electrons from the exterior energy levels and thus heating to achieve a plasma will create free electrons and ionized atoms (or ionized molecules).

A plasma can not contain neutrons, because neutrons together with protons make the nuclei of the atoms. To free the neutrons from the atomn nuclei there would be necessary HUGE temperatures.

Also a plasma does not contain neutral elements (atoms) or (neutral) molecules, but Ionized atoms and/or molecules and free electrons.

Thus the good answer is d)

What is the speed of a beam of electrons when under the simultaneous influence of E = 1.64×104 V/m B = 4.60×10−3 T Both fields a
andrezito [222]

Answer: v = 3.57×10^6 m/s; R = 4.42×10^-3m; T = 7.78×10^-9 s

Explanation:

Magnetic force(B) = 4.60×10^-3 T

Electric force(E) = 1.64×10^4 V/m

Both forces having equal magnitude ;

Magnetic force = electric force

qvB = qE

vB = E

v = (1.64×10^4) ÷ (4.60×10^-3)

v = 3.57×10^6 m/s

2.) Assume no electric field

qvB = ma

Where a = v^2 ÷ r

R = radius

a = acceleration

v = velocity

qvB = m(v^2 ÷ R)

R = (m×v) ÷ (|q|×B)

q=1.6×10^-19C

m = 9.11×10^-31kg

R = (9.11×10^-31 * 3.57×10^6) ÷ (1.6×10^-19 * 4.6×10^-3)

R = 32.5227×10^-25 ÷ 7.36×10^-22

R = 4.42×10^-3m

3.) period(T)

T = (2*pi*R) ÷ v

T = (2* 4.42×10^-3 * 3.142) ÷ (3.57×10^6)

T = (27.775×10^-3) ÷(3.57×10^6)

T = 7.78×10^-9 s
