Answer:

the average force the blade exerts on the log is 1791.05 N.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the ax head, m = 4 kg

speed of the ax, v = 3 m/s

depth traveled into the log, d = 0.01 m

The time to traveled through the depth;

s = (\frac{u+v}{2} )t\\\\0.01 =  (\frac{0+3}{2} )t\\\\0.01 = 1.5t\\\\t = \frac{0.01}{1.5} \\\\t = 0.0067 \ s

The average force the blade exerts on the log;

F = ma=\frac{mv}{t} = \frac{4 \times 3}{0.0067} = 1791.05 \ N \\\\

Therefore, the average force the blade exerts on the log is 1791.05 N.

Why is it important for professionals in any field to be accurate and precise with their data collection??
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:When prfessionals take data collections its important becasue it can cause error. Lets say they are sloppy with thier work and end up getting something that is not near what should be happening. This can have a major affect on the truth of what they are doing and an effect on thier end result in general.

An electron is released from rest on the axis of a uniform positively charged ring, 0.200 m from the ring's center. If the linea
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

Velocity of the electron at the centre of the ring, v=1.37\times10^7\ \rm m/s

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

  • Linear charge density of the ring=0.1\ \rm \mu C/m
  • Radius of the ring R=0.2 m
  • Distance of point from the centre of the ring=x=0.2 m

Total charge of the ring

Q=0.1\times2\pi R\\Q=0.1\times2\pi 0.4\\Q=0.251\ \rm \mu C

Potential due the ring at a distance x from the centre of the rings is given by

V=\dfrac{kQ}{\sqrt{(R^2+x^2)}}\\

The potential difference when the electron moves from x=0.2 m to the centre of the ring is given by

\Delta V=\dfrac{kQ}{R}-\dfrac{kQ}{\sqrt{(R^2+x^2)}}\\\Delta V={9\times10^9\times0.251\times10^{-6}} \left( \dfrac{1}{0.4}-\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{(0.4^2+0.2^2)}} \right )\\\Delta V=5.12\times10^2\ \rm V

Let\Delta U be the change in potential Energy given by

\Delta U=e\times \Delta V\\\Delta U=1.67\times10^{-19}\times5.12\times10^{2}\\\Delta U=8.55\times10^{-17}\ \rm J

Change in Potential Energy of the electron will be equal to the change in kinetic Energy of the electron

\Delta U=\dfrac{mv^2}{2}\\8.55\times10^{-17}=\dfrac{9.1\times10^{-31}v^2}{2}\\v=1.37\times10^7\ \rm m/s

So the electron will be moving with v=1.37\times10^7\ \rm m/s

Waves that move the particles of the medium parallel to the direction in which the waves are traveling are called
Nikolay [14]

1. a. longitudinal waves.

There are two types of waves:

- Transverse waves: in transverse waves, the oscillations of the wave occur in a direction perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave

- Longitudinal waves: in longitudinal waves, the oscillations of the waves occur parallel to the direction in which the waves are travelling.

So, these types of waves are called longitudinal waves.


2. d. a medium

There are two types of waves:

- Electromagnetic waves: these waves are produced by the oscillations of electric and magnetic field, and they can travel both in a medium and also in a vacuum (they do not need a medium to propagate)

- Mechanical waves: these waves are produced by the oscillations of the particles in a medium, so they need a medium to propagate - therefore, the correct choice is d. a medium


3. a. AM/FM radio

Analogue signals consist of continuous signals, which vary in a continuous range of values. On the contrary, digital signals consist of discrete signals, which can assume only some discrete values. For AM and FM radios, signals are transmitted by using analogue signals.
