Answer:

I found this on the internet: Atoms are not mostly empty space because there is no such thing as purely empty space. Rather, space is filled with a wide variety of particles and fields. ... It's true that a large percentage of the atom's mass is concentrated in its tiny nucleus, but that does not imply that the rest of the atom is empty.

Explanation:

So i am going to go with false.

Hope i helped!

A cannon of mass 6.43 x 103 kg is rigidly bolted to the earth so it can recoil only by a negligible amount. The cannon fires a 7

Nata [24]

Answer:

The velocity of the shell when the cannon is unbolted is 500.14 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

mass of cannon, m₁ = 6430 kg

mass of shell, m₂ = 73.8-kg

initial velocity of the shell, u₂ = 503 m/s

Initial kinetic energy of the shell; when the cannon is rigidly bolted to the earth.

K.E = ¹/₂mv²

K.E = ¹/₂ (73.8)(503)²

K.E = 9336032.1 J

When the cannon is unbolted from the earth, we apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum and kinetic energy

change in initial momentum = change in momentum after

0 = m₁u₁ - m₂u₂

m₁v₁ = m₂v₂

where;

v₁ is the final velocity of cannon

v₂ is the final velocity of shell

$v_1 = \frac{m_2v_2}{m_1}$

Apply the principle of conservation kinetic energy

$K = \frac{1}{2}m_1v_1^2 + \frac{1}{2}m_2v_2^2\\\\K = \frac{1}{2}m_1(\frac{m_2v_2}{m_1})^2 + \frac{1}{2}m_2v_2^2\\\\K = \frac{1}{2}m_2v_2^2(\frac{m_2}{m_1}) + \frac{1}{2}m_2v_2^2 \\\\K = \frac{1}{2}m_2v_2^2 (\frac{m_2}{m_1} + 1)\\\\2K = m_2v_2^2 (\frac{m_2}{m_1} + 1)\\\\v_2^2 = \frac{2K}{M_2(\frac{m_2}{m_1} + 1)} \\\\v_2^2 = \frac{2*9336032.1}{73.8(\frac{73.8}{6430} + 1)}\\\\$

$v_2^2 = 250138.173\\\\v_2 = \sqrt{250138.173} \\\\v_2 = 500.14 \ m/s$

Therefore, the velocity of the shell when the cannon is unbolted is 500.14 m/s

An object with an initial velocity of 10 m/s accelerates at a rate of 3.5 m/s2 for 8 seconds. How far will it have traveled duri

ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

Distance, d = 192 meters

Explanation:

We have,

Initial velocity of an object is 10 m/s

Acceleration of the object is 3.5 m/s²

Time, t = 8 s

We need to find the distance travelled by the object during that time. Second equation of motion gives the distance travelled by the object. It is given by :

$d=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2$

$d=10\times 8+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 3.5\times 8^2\\\\d=192\ m$

So, the distance travelled by the object is 192 meters.

State the law of conservation of momentum<br>

trapecia [35]

Answer:

Law of conservation of momentum states that. For two or more bodies in an isolated system acting upon each other, their total momentum remains constant unless an external force is applied. Therefore, momentum can neither be created nor destroyed.

In noisy factory environments, it's possible to use a loudspeaker to cancel persistent low-frequency machine noise at the positi

Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

7.39 m or 3.61 m

Explanation:

$\lambda$ = Wavelength

f = Frequency = 90 Hz

v = Speed of sound = 340 m/s

Path difference of the two waves is given by

$s_1-s_2=\frac{\lambda}{2}$

Velocity of wave

$v=f\lambda\\\Rightarrow \lambda=\frac{v}{f}\\\Rightarrow \lambda=\frac{340}{90}\\\Rightarrow \lambda=3.78\ m$

$s_1=s_2\pm\frac{\lambda}{2}\\\Rightarrow s_1=5.5\pm \frac{3.78}{2}\\\Rightarrow s_1=7.39\ m, 3.61\ m$

So, the location from the worker is 7.39 m or 3.61 m

An electron moves through a uniform electric field vector E = (2.80î + 5.20ĵ) V/m and a uniform magnetic field vector B = 0.400k

alina1380 [7]

Answer:

1.758820×10^11(-2.5i-0.8j) m/s^2

Explanation:

From the question, the parameters given are; E=(2.80i+ 5.20j) v/m, a uniform magnetic field,B= 0.400K T, acceleration, a= ??? and velocity vector, v= 11.0i metre per seconds (m/s)...

We can solve this problem using the formula below;

Ma= q[E+V × B] ---------------(1).

Note: q is negative, m= mass of electron.

Making acceleration,a the subject of the formula and substituting the parameters into equation (1);

a= -e/m × (2.5i + 5.2j +11.0i × 0.400K)

a= -e/m × (2.5i+5.2j-4.4j)

a= e/m × (-2.5i - 0.8j)

e/m= 1.758820×10^11 c/kg

Therefore, slotting in the value of charge to mass(e/m) ratio;

a= 1.7588×10^11×(-2.5i-0.8j) m/s^2
