Explanation:

The difference of electrical potential between two points is called the potential difference.

It is also defined as the work done in the transfer of a unit quantity of electricity from one point to the other.

The SI unit of electric potential is volt. It is denoted by V.

An 80.0-kg object is falling and experiences a drag force due to air resistance. The magnitude of this drag force depends on its

Zinaida [17]

Answer:

Terminal velocity of object = 12.58 m/s

Explanation:

We know that the terminal velocity is attained when drag force and gravitational force are of the same magnitude.

Gravitational force = mg = 80 * 9.8 = 784 N

Drag force = $12.0v+4.00v^2$

Equating both, we have

$784=12.0v+4.00v^2\\ \\ v^2+3v-196=0\\ \\ (v-12.58)(v+15.58)=0$

So v = 12.58 m/s or v = -15.58 m/s ( not possible)

So terminal velocity of object = 12.58 m/s

A projectile is fired with an initial speed of 65.2 m/s at an angle of 34.5º above the horizontal on a long flat firing range. (

Margarita [4]

Answer:

A) $h = 69.58 m$

D) $v = 58.12 \frac{m}{s}$ (Speed magnitude)

α = 22.49° (Speed direction above the horizontal)

Explanation:

Conceptual analysis:

To solve this problem we consider the following concepts:

1) The projectile in its movement describes a curved line called a parabola, therefore two coordinates are required to fix the position at each instant of time, since the movement is performed in the X-Y plane.

The initial velocity (Vo) is tangent to the trajectory at the initial point and can be broken down into two components, one vertical (Voy) and one horizontal(Vox):

$V_{ox} = V_{o}Cos\alpha _{o}$ Formula (1)

$V_{oy} = V_{o}Sin\alpha _{o}$ Formula (2)

Where:

Vo: Initial velocity in m/s

$\alpha_{o}$ : Initial angle above the horizontal in grades

2) The formula to calculate its velocity at any vertical position(y) is as follows:

$v_{y}^{2} = v_{oy}^{2} -2gy$ Formula (3)

Where:

$v_{f}^{2}$ : Final speed component in vertical direction in m/s

$v_{oy}^{2}$ : Initial speed component in vertical direction in m/s

g: acceleration due to gravity in m/s2

3) The formulas to calculate the projectile velocity components at any time (t) are:

$v_{x} = v_{ox}$ Because the movement is uniform in the x direction (constant speed)

$v_{y} = v_{oy}-g*t$ Formula (4) Because the movement is uniformly accelerated in the y direction

Known information:

We know the following data:

$v_{o} = 65.2 \frac{m}{s}$

$\alpha _{o}$ = 34.5º above the horizontal

$g=9.8 \frac{m}{s^{2}}$

Development of the problem:

Initial speed components(Vox, Voy), (Formula (1), Formula (2)

$v_{ox} = 65.2*Cos34.5 = 53.7\frac{m}{s}$

$v_{oy} = 65.2*Sin34.5 = 36.93\frac{m}{s}$

A) Maximum height (h):

When the projectile reaches its maximum height (h) ,the speed component Vy = 0, then, we replace this value in the Formula (3):

$0=(36.93)^2-2*9.8*h$

$h=\frac{ (36.93)^2}{2*9.8} = 69.58 m$

D) Speed of the projectile 1.50s after firing

We replace t=1.5 s in the formula(4)

$v_{y} = 36.93-9.8*1.5 = 22.23 \frac{m}{s}$

$v_{x} = v_{ox} = 53.7 \frac{m}{s}$

$v = \sqrt{53.7^{2}+22.23^{2}} = 58.12 \frac{m}{s}$ (Speed magnitude)

$\alpha = tan^{-1} (\frac{v_{y}}{v_{x}}) = tan^{-1} (\frac{22.23}{53.7})$

α = 22.49° (Speed direction above the horizontal)

Why does it matter if a material is amorphous or crystalline? How does the arrangement of atoms affect the properties of materia

Rashid [163]

Answer:

<em>It matters because crystalline and amorphous materials have different properties. The arrange affects the melting point (defined in crystals and a larger range in amorphous) and shape (geometrical in crystals, no geometrical in amorphous). </em>

Explanation:

The particles that compose a solid material are held in place by strong tractive forces between them when we analyze solids we consider the position of the atoms (molecules or ions) rather than their motion (which is important in liquids and gases). This positioning can be arranged in two general ways:

Crystalline solids have internal structures that in turn lead to distinctive flat surfaces or face, these faces intersect at angles that are characteristic of the substance, crystals tend to have sharp, well defined and high melting points because of the same distance from the same number and type of neighbors. They generally have geometric shapes, some examples are diamonds, metals, salts.
Amorphous solids produce irregular or curved surfaces when broken and they have poorly defined patterns when exposed to x rays because of their irregular array. In contrast with crystal solids, amorphous solids soften over a wide temperature range due to the different amounts of thermal energy needed to overcome different interactions. Some examples of these solids are gels, plastics, and some polymers.

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!
