Answer:

Kinetic energy and potential energy.

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is directly proportional to the mass of the object and to the square of its velocity: K.E. = 1/2 m v^2. If the mass has units of kilograms and the velocity of meters per second, the kinetic energy has units of kilograms-meters squared per second squared. Kinetic energy is usually measured in units of Joules (J); one Joule is equal to 1 kg m^2 / s^2.

The formula for potential energy depends on the force acting on the two objects. For the gravitational force, the formula is P.E. = mgh, where m is the mass in kilograms, g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s^2 at the surface of the earth) and h is the height in meters. Notice that gravitational potential energy has the same units as kinetic energy, kg m^2/s^2. In fact, all energy has the same units, kg m^2/s^2, and is measured using the unit Joule (J).

Work is also measured with the unit Joule (J).

n alpha particle (q = +2e, m = 4.00 u) travels in a circular path of radius 5.94 cm in a uniform magnetic field with B = 1.10 T.
9966 [12]

Answer:

a). V = 3.13*10⁶ m/s

b). T = 1.19*10^-7s

c). K.E = 2.04*10⁵

d). V = 1.02*10⁵V

Explanation:

q = +2e

M = 4.0u

r = 5.94cm = 0.0594m

B = 1.10T

1u = 1.67 * 10^-27kg

M = 4.0 * 1.67*10^-27 = 6.68*10^-27kg

a). Centripetal force = magnetic force

Mv / r = qB

V = qBr / m

V = [(2 * 1.60*10^-19) * 1.10 * 0.0594] / 6.68*10^-27

V = 2.09088 * 10^-20 / 6.68 * 10^-27

V = 3.13*10⁶ m/s

b). Period of revolution.

T = 2Πr / v

T = (2*π*0.0594) / 3.13*10⁶

T = 1.19*10⁻⁷s

c). kinetic energy = ½mv²

K.E = ½ * 6.68*10^-27 * (3.13*10⁶)²

K.E = 3.27*10^-14J

1ev = 1.60*10^-19J

xeV = 3.27*10^-14J

X = 2.04*10⁵eV

K.E = 2.04*10⁵eV

d). K.E = qV

V = K / q

V = 2.04*10⁵ / (2eV).....2e-

V = 1.02*10⁵V

A student examines a 20-meter long rectangular stream channel and takes the following measurements: width of stream = 4 meters,
Scrat [10]

Answer:

The discharge of the stream at this location is 40 cubic meters per second.

Explanation:

The discharge is the volume flow rate of the water in the stream. For this purpose we can use the following formula:

Discharge = Volume Flow Rate = (Cross-Sectional Area)(Velocity of Stream)

Volume Flow Rate = (Width of Stream)(Depth of Stream)(Velocity of Stream)

Volume Flow Rate = (4 meters)(2 meters)(5 meters per second)

<u>Volume Flow Rate = 40 cubic meters per second</u>

Therefore, the discharge of the stream at this location is found to be <u>40 cubic meters per second</u>

This result shows that 40 cubic meters volume of water passes or discharges through this point in a time of one second. Hence, this is called the volume flow rate or the discharge of the stream.

A penny rides on top of a piston as it undergoes vertical simple harmonic motion with an amplitude of 4.0cm. If the frequency is
aniked [119]

1) At the moment of being at the top, the piston will not only tend to push the penny up but will also descend at a faster rate at which the penny can reach in 'free fall', in that short distance. Therefore, at the highest point, the penny will lose contact with the piston. Therefore the correct answer is C.

2) To solve this problem we will apply the equations related to the simple harmonic movement, hence we have that the acceleration can be defined as

a = -\omega^2 A

Where,

a = Acceleration

A = Amplitude

\omega= Angular velocity

From a reference system in which the downward acceleration is negative due to the force of gravity we will have to

a = -g

-\omega^2 A = -g

\omega = \sqrt{\frac{g}{A}}

From the definition of frequency and angular velocity we have to

\omega = 2\pi f

f = \frac{1}{2\pi} \sqrt{\frac{g}{A}}

f = \frac{1}{2\pi} \sqrt{\frac{9.8}{4*10^{-2}}}

f = 2.5Hz

Therefore the maximum frequency for which the penny just barely remains in place for the full cycle is 2.5Hz

Two cars are initially separated by 2500 m and traveling towards each other. One car travels at 4.5 m/s and the second car trave
mylen [45]

Answer:

714.285s

Explanation:

use relative velocity

8-4.5 = 3.5m/s

x = 2500m

2500/3.5 = 714.285s = 700s (with sig figs)
