Answer:

a) 9.8 m/s²

Explanation:

  • At any point during its trajectory, the only influence on the ball is due to gravity, so the ball  is always accelerated by it.
  • This is true even if the ball momentarily stops, like when it reaches to its maximum height before starting to fall down.
  • Close to the surface of  the Earth, the magnitude of this acceleration is 9.8 m/s², as the magnitude is always a positive quantity, so the right answer is a).

In xray machines, electrons are subjected to electric fields as great as 6.0 x 10^5 N/C. Find
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

a = 1.055 x 10¹⁷ m/s²

Explanation:

First, we will find the force on electron:

E = \frac{F}{q}\\\\F = Eq\\

where,

F = Force = ?

E = Electric Field = 6 x 10⁵ N/C

q = charge on electron = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

Therefore,

F = (6\ x\ 10^5\ N/C)(1.6\ x\ 10^{-19}\ C)\\

F = 9.6 x 10⁻¹⁴ N

Now, we will calculate the acceleration using Newton's Second Law:

F = ma\\a = \frac{F}{m}\\

where,

a = acceleration = ?

m = mass of electron = 9.1 x 10⁻³¹ kg

therefore,

a = \frac{9.6\ x\ 10^{-14}\ N}{9.1\ x\ 10^{-31}\ kg}\\\\

<u>a = 1.055 x 10¹⁷ m/s²</u>

A 12.0N force with a fixed orientation does work on a
kvasek [131]

Answer:

(a) \theta=62.31^{\circ}

(b) \theta=117.68^{\circ}

Explanation:

It is given that,

Force acting on the particle, F = 12 N

Displacement of the particle, d=(2.00i -4.00j+3.00k)\ m

Magnitude of displacement, d=\sqrt{2^2+4^2+3^2}= 5.38\ m

(a) If the change in the kinetic energy of the particle is +30 J. The work done by the particle is given by :

W=Fd\ cos\theta

\theta is the angle between force and the displacement

According to work energy theorem, the charge in kinetic energy of the particle is equal to the work done.

So,

cos\theta=\dfrac{W}{Fd}

cos\theta=\dfrac{+30\ J}{12\times 5.38}

\theta=62.31^{\circ}

(b) If the change in the kinetic energy of the particle is (-30) J. The work done by the particle is given by :

cos\theta=\dfrac{W}{Fd}

cos\theta=\dfrac{-30\ J}{12\times 5.38}

\theta=117.68^{\circ}

Hence, this is the required solution.

Which has more KE a baseball traveling at 50 mph or a baseball travelling at 100 mph? Explain.
Trava [24]
A baseball traveling at 100 mph has more kinetic energy than a baseball traveling at 50 mph because the kinetic energy = 1/2 x mass x velocity. Since the baseballs should have the same mass, the velocity is what will determine which ball has more kinetic energy. Since the 100 mph baseball has a higher velocity than the 50 mph baseball, it has more kinetic energy.

Difference between male and female gamete​
Inga [223]

Answer:

The male gamete is smaller in comparison to that of the female gamete.

The male gamete is conical from the front while the female gamete is spherical.

The cytoplasm in the male gamete is less in comparison to that of the female gamete.

The male gamete can move with the help of the tail while the female gametes are immobile and do not have any tail or flagella present.

The number of mitochondria present in the sperm is less than the number of mitochondria present in the ovum.

The male gamete has acrosome present in the head region that contains enzymes for dissolving the membranes present around the ovum. The ovum does not contain such digestive enzymes.
