When the electrons reach the collector, they flow towards the positivly charged grid. The resulting current is measured. Note th

at as the electrons accelerate from the cathode toward the grid, they collide with the mercury atoms. Assume that these collisions are completely elastic. How does the collected current vary if the ΔVgridΔVgrid is slowly increased? View Available Hint(s)

Answer:

We can conclude by saying that in the beginning current will increase but after sometime, it becomes saturated.

Explanation:

Note: No information on change in number of electron generated.

Since there is a collision, the electrons emitted will not reach the collector at same time. As the voltage is increased, the the speed with which the electrons will reach the collector starts to increase. Due to this, electric current will first increases till all the emitted electrons reach the collector. Since we are not provided with the information that number of electrons generated are changing, after increasing voltage current will increase for some time and then reaches a saturated state.

We can conclude by saying that in the beginning current will increase but after sometime it becomes saturated.

Until he was in his seventies, Henri LaMothe excited audiences by belly-flopping from a height of 9 m into 32 cm. of water. Assu
baherus [9]

Answer:

823.46 kgm/s

Explanation:

At 9 m above the water before he jumps, Henri LaMothe has a potential energy change, mgh which equals his kinetic energy 1/2mv² just as he reaches the surface of the water.

So, mgh = 1/2mv²

From here, his velocity just as he reaches the surface of the water is

v = √2gh

h = 9 m and g = 9.8 m/s²

v = √(2 × 9 × 9.8) m/s

v = √176.4 m/s

v₁ = 13.28 m/s

So his velocity just as he reaches the surface of the water is 13.28 m/s.

Now he dives into 32 cm = 0.32 m of water and stops so his final velocity v₂ = 0.

So, if we take the upward direction as positive, his initial momentum at the surface of the water is p₁ = -mv₁. His final momentum is p₂ = mv₂.

His momentum change or impulse, J = p₂ - p₁ = mv₂ - (-mv₁) = mv₂ + mv₁. Since m = Henri LaMothe's mass = 62 kg,

J = (62 × 0 + 62 × 13.28) kgm/s = 0 +  823.46 kgm/s = 823.46 kgm/s

So the magnitude of the impulse J of the water on him is 823.46 kgm/s

When an unbalanced force acts on an object the change in the objects ____or ____ depends on the size and direction of the force
timama [110]

When an unbalanced force acts on an object the change in the object state of rest or motion depends on the size and direction of the force.

If a body is at state of rest or motion, when an unbalanced external force acts on it, its starts moving in the direction of force and magnitude of its velocity or acceleration depends on the magnitude of force applied.

A boy whirls a ball on a string 1.0 m long in a horizontal circle at 50 rpm. If the mass of the ball is 0.22 kg
vazorg [7]

Hi there! :)

We can begin by doing a summation of forces on the ball. In the horizontal direction, we have the force of tension:
F_{Net} = T

The tension force results in a centripetal force experienced by the ball. The equation of centripetal force is equivalent to:
F_C = m\omega^2 r

F_C = Centripetal force (N)
m = mass of ball (0.22 kg)

ω = angular speed of ball(? rad/sec, must convert rpm to rad/sec)

r = radius/length of string (1.0 m)

We must begin by converting rpm to rad/sec:

\frac{50 rev}{min} * \frac{2\pi rad}{1 rev}* \frac{1 min}{60 sec} = 5.236 \frac{rad}{s}

Now, we can set tension equal to the centripetal force and solve. T = F_{Net} = F_C\\\\T = m\omega^2 r\\\\T = (0.22)(5.236^2)(1) = \boxed{6.031 N}

The high-speed winds around a tornado can drive projectiles into trees, building walls, and even metal traffic signs. In a labor
Travka [436]

Answer:

F  = 183.153 N

Explanation:

given,

mass of the toothpick = 0.12 g = 0.00012 kg  

initial velocity = 227 m/s    

final velocity = 0 m/s      

penetration depth = 16 mm = 0.016 m        

using the equation of motion        

v² - u² = 2 a s                            

0 - u² = 2 a s                                      

- 221² = 2 × a × 0.016      

a = 1526281.25 m/s²            

Force is equal to            

F = m a

  = 0.00012 × 1526281.25

F  = 183.153 N
