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.

A woman 5.5 ft walks at a rate of 6 ft/sec towards a street light that is 22 ft above the ground. At what rate is the length of
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

The length of her shadow is changing at the rate  -2 m/s

Explanation:

Let the height oh the street light, h = 22 ft

Let the height of the woman, w = 5.5 ft

Horizontal distance to the street light = l

length of shadow = x

h/w = (l + x)/x

22/5.5 =  (l + x)/x

4x = l + x

3x = l

x = 1/3 l

taking the derivative with respect to t of both sides

dx/dt = 1/3 dl/dt

dl/dt = -6 ft/sec ( since the woman is walking towards the street light, the value of l is decreasing with time)

dx/dt = 1/3 * (-6)

dx/dt = -2 m/s

An 800 kg fishing boat going south at 12 m/s runs into a stopped pontoon boat (1400 kg). The boats stick together and move south
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

the velocity of the boats after the collision is 4.36 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of fish, m₁ = 800 kg

mass of boat, m₂ = 1400 kg

initial velocity of the fish, u₁ = 12 m/s

initial velocity of the boat, u₂ = 0

let the final velocity of the fish-boat after collision = v

Apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum for inelastic collision;

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = v(m₁ + m₂)

800 x 12    +   1400 x 0 = v(800 + 1400)

9600 = 2200v

v = 9600/2200

v = 4.36 m/s

Therefore, the velocity of the boats after the collision is 4.36 m/s.

Question 8: Cosmology (8 points)
STatiana [176]

Big bang happened about 13.7 billion years ago in our universe.

<h3>Describe the beginning of the universe according to the big bang theory?</h3>

According to the big bang theory, about 13.7 billion years ago, an explosive expansion began, expanding our universe outwards faster than the speed of light.

<h3>Describe the future of the universe according to the flat model?</h3>

According to the flat model, the universe is infinite and will continue to expand forever because the universe is expanding.

<h3>What is cosmic background radiation? </h3>

Cosmic background radiation is a weak radio-frequency radiation that is traveling through outer space in every direction. It is the residual radiation of the big bang, when the universe was very hot.

<h3>How do observations of the cosmic background radiation provide evidence to support the big bang theory? </h3>

The Big Bang theory predicts that the early universe was a very hot place and that as it expands, the gas within it cools. Thus the universe has all over radiation which is called the “cosmic microwave background".

Why is it important for an engineer who is designing a new home-cooling/heating system to have knowledge about the transfer of h
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

In the explanation :)

Explanation:

Heat is a concept that is important to understand in various engineering fields. It is particularly relevant for civil, mechanical and chemical engineers because heat transfer plays a key role in material selection, machinery efficiency and reaction kinetics, respectively.

A ball of mass 0.50 kg is fired with velocity 160 m/s into the barrel of a spring gun of mass 1.8 kg initially at rest on a fric
shepuryov [24]

Answer:

All fraction of kinectic energy is lost to barrel of a spring gun of mass 1.8 kg

Explanation:

A ball of mass 0.50 kg is fired with velocity 160 m/s ...

The kinetic energy is given by 1/2mv²

Kinectic energy of the ball = 1/2 *0.5*160²

Kinectic energy = 1/4 *25600

Kinectic energy = 6400 joules.

If no energy is lost to fiction, and the ball sticks to a barrel of a spring gun of mass 1.8 kg with initial velocity zero, all kinetic energy is lost to the barrel of a spring gun of mass 1.8 kg.
