Answer:

The change in the mechanical energy of the projectile is 43,750 J

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the projectile, m = 5 kg

initial velocity of the projectile, u = 200 m/s

final velocity of the projectile, v = 150 m/s

The change in mechanical energy is calculated from the principle of conservation of energy;

ΔP.E = ΔK.E

The change in potential energy is zero (0)

0 = ΔK.E

ΔK.E = K.E₁ - K.E₂

ΔK.E = ¹/₂mu² - ¹/₂mv²

ΔK.E = ¹/₂m(u² - v²)

ΔK.E = ¹/₂ x 5(200² - 150²)

ΔK.E =  43,750 J

Therefore, the change in the mechanical energy of the projectile is 43,750 J

A uniformly charged, thin ring has radius 15.0 cm and total charge +24.0 nC. An electron is placed on the ring’s axis a distance
djyliett [7]

Answer:

A. The electron will begin to move along the axis, towards the centre and the instantaneous velocity because the force acting on it depends largely on acceleration and x until it reaches maximum velocity at centre.

B. Veloctiy (Vb) = 1.66m/s

Explanation:

Given the following data

x(a) = 0.3m

x(b) = 0

q = 1.6×10^-19

Q = 24nc

r = 0.15m

Required: the motion of the electron and the velocity (Vb)

1. At point A the electron will begin to move along the axis from point A to point B, the magnitude of the electric field will change while moving which depends on that and this will produce instantaneous force which will later change and the acceleration will change too while moving, the velocity would reach maximum value at point B

2. Potential energy and kinetic energy are given by

U(a) + K(a) = U(b) + K(b). . .1

Initial P.E and K.E are given as

U(a) = kQ/√x²(a) + a2

By substitution, we have

U(a) = 9×10^9 × (-1.9×10^-19)×24×10^-9/√(0.15)²+(0.3²)

U(a) = -1.03×10^-16

Final P.E and K.E are given as

U(b) = KQ/√x²(b) + a2

By substitution, we have

U(b) = 9×10^9×(-1.9×10^-19)×24×10^-9/√(0.15)²+(0)²

U(b) = -2.3×10^16

3. By substitution into equation 1 becomes

-1.03×10^-6 - 2.3×10^-16 + MV²(b)/2

V(b) = √2×1.27×10^-16/9.1×10^31

V(b) = 1.66×10^7m/s
