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.

The electric field in a region is uniform (constant in space) and given by E-( 148.0 1 -110.03)N/C. An additional charge 10.4 nC
enyata [817]

Answer:

The y-component of the electric force on this charge is F_y = -1.144\times 10^{-6}\ N.

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

  • Electric field in the region, \vec E = (148.0\ \hat i-110.0\ \hat j)\ N/C.
  • Charge placed into the region, q = 10.4\ nC = 10.4\times 10^{-9}\ C.

where, \hat i,\ \hat j are the unit vectors along the positive x and y axes respectively.

The electric field at a point is defined as the electrostatic force experienced per unit positive test charge, placed at that point, such that,

\vec E = \dfrac{\vec F}{q}\\\therefore \vec F = q\vec E\\=(10.4\times 10^{-9})\times (148.0\ \hat i-110.0\ \hat j)\\=(1.539\times 10^{-6}\ \hat i-1.144\times 10^{-6}\ \hat j)\ N.

Thus, the y-component of the electric force on this charge is F_y = -1.144\times 10^{-6}\ N.

A 1.0-kg block of aluminum is at a temperature of 50°C. How much thermal energy will it lose when its temperature is reduced by
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

22425 J

Explanation:

From the question,

Applying

Q = cm(t₂-t₁).................. Equation 1

Where Q = Thermal Energy, c = specific heat capacity of aluminium, m = mass of aluminium, t₂ = Final Temperature, t₁ = Initial Temperature.

Given: c = 897 J/kg.K, m = 1.0 kg, t₁ = 50 °C, t₂ = 25 °C (The final temperature is reduced by half)

Substitute these values into equation 1

Q = 897×1×(25-50)

Q = 897×(-25)

Q = -22425 J

Hence the thermal energy lost by the aluminium is 22425 J

weeeeeb [17]
A. The amount of work increases.
Imagine you are pushing a box on a flat surface. Now imagine pushing it up a steep hill. It gets harder and that's how I remember this.
Hope this helps.
