Answer:

a. t = 1.43 s

b. d = 7.88 m

Explanation:

a. The time of flight can be found using the following equation:

y_{f} = y_{0} + v_{0_{y}}t - \frac{1}{2}gt^{2}

Where:

y_{f}: is the final height = -10 m

y_{0}: is the initial height = 0

v_{0_{y}}: is the initial speed in the vertical direction = 0

g: is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

By solving the above equation for "t" we have:

t = \sqrt{\frac{2y_{f}}{g}} = \sqrt{\frac{2*10 m}{9.81 m/s^{2}}} = 1.43 s

Hence, the ball will hit the ground in 1.43 s.

b. The distance in the horizontal direction can be found as follows:

x_{f} = x_{0} + v_{0}t + \frac{1}{2}at^{2}

Where:

x₀: is the initial position in the horizontal direction = 0

a: is the acceleration in the horizontal direction = 0 (it is moving at constant speed)

x_{f} = 5.51 m/s*1.43 s = 7.88 m

Therefore, the ball will travel 7.88 m before it hits the ground.

I hope it helps you!

I don’t know how to answer this question? Can anyone help?
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

F=ma

here F is force, m is mass and a is accelaration,

According to the question,

F=3*F= 3F

m= 1/3 of m= m/3

a= ?

so the equation becomes,

3F= m/3*a

3F*3= ma

9F=ma

F= ma/9

Therefore accelaration reduces by 1/9.

I am not very sure.

Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

The answer is "1.01 \times 10^{-13}"

Explanation:

Using the law of conservation for energy. Equating the kinetic energy to the potential energy.

KE=U=\frac{kqq'}{r}\\\\

Calculating the closest distance:

\to r=\frac{kqq'}{KE}\\\\

=\frac{k(2e)(79e)}{KE}\\\\=\frac{k(2)(79)e^2}{KE}\\\\=\frac{9.0\times 10^9 \ N \cdot \frac{m^2}{c}(2)(79)(1.6 \times10^{-19} \ C)^2}{(2.25\ meV) (\frac{1.6 \times 10^{-13} \ J}{1 \ MeV})}\\\\

=\frac{9.0\times 10^9 \times 2\times 79\times 1.6 \times10^{-19}\times 1.6 \times10^{-19} }{(2.25 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-13}) }\\\\=\frac{3,640.32\times 10^{-29}}{3.6 \times 10^{-13} }\\\\=\frac{3,640.32}{3.6} \times 10^{-16}\\\\=1011.2 \times 10^{-16}\\\\=1.01 \times 10^{-13}

The charges and coordinates of two charged particles held fixed in the xy plane are: q1 = +3.3 µc, x1 = 3.5 cm, y1 = 0.50 cm, an
Readme [11.4K]
1) First of all, we need to find the distance between the two charges. Their distance on the xy plane is
d= \sqrt{(x_1-x_2)^2+(y_1-y_2)^2}
substituting the coordinates of the two charges, we get
d= \sqrt{(3.5+2)^2+(0.5-1.5)^2}=5.6~cm=0.056~m

2) Then, we can calculate the electrostatic force between the two charges q_1 and q_2, which is given by
F=k_e  \frac{q_1 q_2}{d^2}
where k_e=8.99\cdot10^{9} Nm^2C^{-2} is the Coulomb's constant.
Substituting numbers, we get 
F=8.99\cdot10^{9} Nm^2C^{-2}  \frac{(3.3\cdot10^{-6}~C) (-4\cdot10^{-6}~C)}{(0.056~m)^2} =-37.8~N
and the negative sign means the force between the two charges is attractive, because the two charges have opposite sign.

3. What is electric current?<br> The flow of moving electrons<br><br> electrons that move one time
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

An electric current is a stream of charged particles, such as electrons or ions, moving through an electrical conductor or space. It is measured as the net rate of flow of electric charge through a surface or into a control volume. ... In electric circuits the charge carriers are often electrons moving through a wire.
