Answer:

The initial speed of the sprinter was 2.2 m/s

Explanation:

Constant Acceleration Motion

It's a type of motion in which the velocity of an object changes by an equal amount in every equal period of time.

The following relation applies:

$v_f=v_o+at$

Where a is the constant acceleration, vo the initial speed, vf the final speed, and t the time.

The sprinter speeds up from an unknown initial speed to vf=3 m/s in t=2 seconds with an acceleration of $a=0.4~m/s^2$ .

To find the initial speed, we solve the equation for vo:

$v_o=v_f-at$

Substituting the values:

$v_o=3-0.4*2$

$v_o=3-0.8$

$v_o=2.2~m/s$

The initial speed of the sprinter was 2.2 m/s

The nuclei of large atoms, such as uranium, with 9292 protons, can be modeled as spherically symmetric spheres of charge. The ra

Scrat [10]

Answer:

Part 1 $E = 2.42 * 10^{21} N/C$

Part 2 $E = 1.3 * 10^{13} N/C$

Part 3 $E = 0$

Explanation:

Given

Number of protons $= 92$

Radius of nucleus $r_n = 7.4 * 10^{-15} m$

Distance of the electrons $r_1 = 1.0 * 10^ {-10} m$

Part 1

Electric field produced by just outside its surface

$E = \frac{q}{4\pi*E_0* r_n^2 } \\E = \frac{9 * 10^ 9 * 92 * 1.6 * 10^{-19}}{(7.4* 10^{-15})^2} \\E = 2.42 * 10^{21} N/C$

Part 2

Electric field produced by just outside its surface

$E = \frac{q}{4\pi*E_0* r_n^2 } \\E = \frac{9 * 10^ 9 * 92 * 1.6 * 10^{-19}}{(1* 10^{-15})^2} \\E = 1.3 * 10^{13} N/C$

Part 3

The net electric field inside a uniform shell of negative charge is zero because the electric flux lines cancel out each other

hence, the solution is

Part 1 $E = 2.42 * 10^{21} N/C$

Part 2 $E = 1.3 * 10^{13} N/C$

Part 3 $E = 0$

You go rock climbing with a pack that weighs 70 N and you reach a height of 30 m. how much work did you do to lift your pack? If

Vikentia [17]

When you climb, earth exerts gravitational force on pack in downward direction(pointing towards the center of earth).
In order to climb, you need to work against work done by gravity on the pack.
Hence work done by you = work done by gravity on pack
= Force x displacement = 70 x 30 = 2100 J.

So you need to do 2100 joules of work to lift your pack.

Power is the rate of work done.
Therefore power = work done by you/time(in seconds)
= 2100/600 =3.5 watts

The mechanical advantage of a wheel and axle is the radius of the wheel divided by the radius of the axle. TRUE or FALSE.

viva [34]

True! The mechanical advantage of the wheel and axle is equal to the ratio of the radius of the wheel over the radius of the axle.
