How is it technically correct to say that a car making a u-turn can have a constant speed but cannot have a constant velocity?

Physics

During the "U" part of the turn, the car would follow an approximately circular path, and if it's moving at a constant speed, it would have to accelerate toward the center of the circle in order to change its direction.

Calculate the speed of a proton after it accelerates from rest through a potential difference of 350 V.
AVprozaik [17]

The speed of a proton after it accelerates from rest through a potential difference of 350 V is 25.86 \times 10^4 ~m/s.

Initial velocity of the proton u = 0

Given potential difference \Delta V = 350V

let's assume that the speed of the proton is v,

Since the proton is accelerating through a potential difference, proton's potential energy will change with time. The potential energy of a particle of charge q when accelerated with a potential difference \Delta V is,

    U = q \Delta V

Due to Work-Energy Theorem and Conservation of Energy - <em>If there is no non-conservative force acting on a particle then loss in Potential energy  P.E must be equal to gain in Kinetic Energy K.E</em> i.e

\Delta K = \Delta V

If the initial and final velocity of the proton is u and v respectively then,

change in Kinetic Energy  \implies  \Delta K = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 -\frac{1}{2}mu^2 = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 - 0

change in Potential Energy \implies \Delta U = q\Delta V

from conservation of energy,

             v= \sqrt{\frac{2q\Delta V}{m}}

so,         v = \sqrt{\frac{2\times 350 \times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}{1.67 \times 10^{-27}}

                = 25.86 \times 10^4 ~m/s

Physics double pivot question​
andriy [413]

Explanation:

Assuming the wall is frictionless, there are four forces acting on the ladder.

Weight pulling down at the center of the ladder (mg).

Reaction force pushing to the left at the wall (Rw).

Reaction force pushing up at the foot of the ladder (Rf).

Friction force pushing to the right at the foot of the ladder (Ff).

(a) Calculate the reaction force at the wall.

Take the sum of the moments about the foot of the ladder.

∑τ = Iα

Rw (3.0 sin 60°) − mg (1.5 cos 60°) = 0

Rw (3.0 sin 60°) = mg (1.5 cos 60°)

Rw = mg / (2 tan 60°)

Rw = (10 kg) (9.8 m/s²) / (2√3)

Rw = 28 N

(b) State the friction at the foot of the ladder.

Take the sum of the forces in the x direction.

∑F = ma

Ff − Rw = 0

Ff = Rw

Ff = 28 N

(c) State the reaction at the foot of the ladder.

Take the sum of the forces in the y direction.

∑F = ma

Rf − mg = 0

Rf = mg

Rf = 98 N

Anna35 [415]

Answer:

t= 1.2 hours

Explanation:

Define first di distance between the points, so

\bar{x}_{canoe}=2*(2+3)=10

\bar{x}_{water}=2*2=4

The distance is

d= \bar{x}_{canoe}- \bar{x}_{water}

d= 10-4 = 6miles

t = \frac{x}{v} = \frac{6}{2+3}

t= 1.2 hours
