Dr. John Paul Stapp was a U.S. Air Force officer who studied the effects of extreme acceleration on the human body. On December

10, 1954, Stapp rode a rocket sled, accelerating from rest to a top speed of 282 m/s (1015 km/h) in 5.2 s and was brought jarringly back to rest in only 1 s. Calculate his (a) magnitude of acceleration in his direction of motion and (b) magnitude of acceleration opposite to his direction of motion. Express each in multiples of g (9.80 m/s2) by taking its ratio to the acceleration of gravity. g g

Answer:

    a = 5.53 g ,   a = -15g

Explanation:

This is an exercise in kinematics.

a) Let's look for the acceleration

         as part of rest v₀ = 0

          v = v₀ + a t

           a = v / t

           a = 282 / 5.2

          a = 54.23 m / s²

in relation to the acceleration of gravity

          a / g = 54.23 / 9.8

          a = 5.53 g

b) let's look at the acceleration to stop

         va = 0

         0 = v₀ -2 a y

         a = vi / y

         a = 282/2 1

         a = 141 m /s²

         a / G = 141 / 9.8

          a = -15g

A proton orbits a long charged wire, making 1.80 ×106 revolutions per second. The radius of the orbit is 1.20 cm What is the wir
Fantom [35]

Answer:

linear charge density = -9.495 × 10^{-34} C/m

Explanation:

given data

revolutions per second = 1.80 × 10^{6}

radius = 1.20 cm

solution

we know that when proton to revolve around charge wire then centripetal force is require to be in orbit of radius around provide by electric force

so

- q × E = m × w² × r     ..................1

- 9 × 10^{9}  × \frac{2*linear\ charge\ density}r} q =  m × w² × r   ............2

and w = \frac{2*\pi}{T}  

w = \frac{d\theta }{dt}

w = 1.80 × 10^{6} × \frac{2*\pi}{1}

w = 11304000 rad/s

so here from equation 2

- 9 × 10^{9}  × \frac{2*linear\ charge\ density}{0.012} 1.80 × 10^{6} =  1.672 × 10^{-27} × 11304000² × 0.0120  

linear charge density = -9.495 × 10^{-34} C/m

What is entropy need help ASAP pz
natulia [17]
Entropy is an extensive property of a thermodynamic system. It quantifies the number Ω of microscopic configurations (known as microstates) that are consistent with the macroscopic quantities that characterize the system (such as its volume, pressure and temperature).[1] Under the assumption that each microstate is equally probable, the entropy
S
S is the natural logarithm of the number of microstates, multiplied by the Boltzmann constant
