Certain mushrooms launch their spores by a catapult mechanism. As water condenses from the air onto a spore that is attached to

the mushroom, a drop grows on one side of the spore and a film grows on the other side. The spore is bent over by the drop's weight, but when the film reaches the drop, the drop's water suddenly spreads into the film and the spore springs upward so rapidly that it is slung off into the air. Typically, the spore reaches a speed of 1.60 m/s in a 5.30 μm launch; its speed is then reduced to zero in 1.30 mm by the air. Using that data and assuming constant accelerations, find the acceleration in terms of g during
(a) the launch and
(b) the speed reduction.

Answer:

Part a)

a = 2.46 \times 10^4 g

Part b)

a = 100.37 g

Explanation:

Part a)

During the launch

speed will increase from rest to final speed of 1.60 m/s

the distance moved by it is given as

d = 5.30 \mu m

now we have

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2ad

1.60^2 - 0 = 2(a)(5.30 \times 10^{-6})

so we have

a = \frac{1.60^2}{2(5.30 \times 10^{-6})}

a = 2.4151 \times 10^5 m/s^2

now in terms of g it is given as

a = 2.46 \times 10^4 g

Part b)

During  speed reduction

we know that final speed will be zero by air in distance 1.30 mm

so we have

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d

0 - 1.60^2 = 2(a)(1.30 \times 10^{-3})/tex][tex]a = 984.6 m/s^2

Now in terms of g it is

a = 100.37 g

During a 0.001 s interval while it is between the plates, the change of the momentum of the electron Δp with arrow is < 0, -8
Delvig [45]

Answer:

5.5 x 10^5 N/C

Explanation:

t = 0.001 s

Δp = - 8.8 x 10^-17 kg m /s

Force is equal to the rate of change of momentum.

F = Δp / Δt

F = (8.8 x 10^-17) / 0.001 = 8.8 x 10^-14 N

q = 1.6 x 10^-19 C

Electric field, E = F / q = (8.8 x 10^-14) / (1.6 x 10^-19)

E = 5.5 x 10^5 N/C

What will be the force if the particle's charge is tripled and the electric field strength is halved? Give your answer in terms
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

1.5F

Explanation:

Using

E= F/q

Where F= force

E= electric field

q=charge

F= Eq

So if qis tripled and E is halved we have

F= (E/2)3q

F= 1.5Eq=>> 1.5F

You have two contentious friends, Chris and Pat, and you’ve quickly discovered that they need you to resolve arguments they have
pshichka [43]

Answer:

v_average = (d₂-d₁) / Δt

this average velocity is not necessarily the velocity of the extreme points,

Explanation:

To resolve the debate, it must be shown that the two have part of the reason, the space or distance between the two points divided by time is the average speed between the points.

             v_average = (d₂-d₁) / Δt

this average velocity is not necessarily the velocity of the extreme points, in the only case that it is so is when there is no acceleration.

Therefore neither of them is right.
