Answer:

76 seconds

Explanation:

Using the formula t=vf-vo/a, where t=time, vf= final velocity, v0= initial velocity, and a= acceleration, we can solve for your problem.

Plug in known variables...

t=200-10/a

we can solve for a by using the formula F=ma where f=force, m= mass, and a=acceleration and rearranging it to solve for a.

a=F/m

Plug in known variables...

a=250N/100kg

a=2.5m/s^2

Plug in our newly found acceleration of 2.5 m/s^2 into our first equation and solve....

t=190/2.5

t=76 seconds

Kitty [74]

Answer:

68cm

Explanation:

You can solve this problem by using the momentum conservation and energy conservation. By using the conservation of the momentum you get

$p_f=p_i\\mv_1+Mv_2=(m+M)v$

m: mass of the bullet

M: mass of the pendulum

v1: velocity of the bullet = 410m/s

v2: velocity of the pendulum =0m/s

v: velocity of both bullet ad pendulum joint

By replacing you can find v:

$(0.038kg)(410m/s)+0=(0.038kg+4.2kg)v\\\\v=3.67\frac{m}{s}$

this value of v is used as the velocity of the total kinetic energy of the block of pendulum and bullet. This energy equals the potential energy for the maximum height reached by the block:

$E_{fp}=E_{ki}\\\\(m+M)gh=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

g: 9.8/s^2

h: height

By doing h the subject of the equation and replacing you obtain:

$(0.038kg+4.2kg)(9.8m/s^2)h=\frac{1}{2}(0.038kg+4.2kg)(3.67m/s)^2\\\\h=0.68m$

hence, the heigth is 68cm

Two 1.0 cm * 2.0 cm rectangular electrodes are 1.0 mm apart. What charge must be placed on each electrode to create a uniform el

kvv77 [185]

Answer:

The number of electrons that must be moved from one electrode to the other to accomplish this is 1.4 X 10⁹ electrons.

Explanation:

<u>Step 1:</u> calculate the charge on each electrode

Given;

Electric field strength = 2.0 X 10⁶ N/C

The distance between the electrode = 1mm = 1 X 10⁻³ m

Electric field strength (E) = Force (F)/Charge (q)

$E =\frac{Kq}{r^2}$

where;

E is the electric field strength = 2.0 X 10⁶ N/C

K is coulomb's constant = 8.99 X 10⁹ Nm²/C²

r is the distance between the electrodes = 1 X 10⁻³ m

q is the charge in each electrode = ?

$q = \frac{Er^2}{K} = \frac{(2X10^6)(1X10^{-3})^2}{8.99 X10 ^9}$ = 0.2225 X 10⁻⁹ C

The charge on each electrode is 0.2225 X 10⁻⁹ C

<u>Step 2:</u> calculate the number of electrons to be moved from one electrode to the other.

1 electron contains 1.602 X 10⁻¹⁹ C

So, 0.2225 X 10⁻⁹ C will contain how many electrons ?

= (0.2225 X 10⁻⁹)/(1.602 X 10⁻¹⁹)

= 1.4 X 10⁹ electrons

Therefore, the number of electrons that must be moved from one electrode to the other to accomplish this is 1.4 X 10⁹ electrons.

Which statement best describes a device that has a high energy efficiency? Its ratio of energy absorbed to energy released is hi

Stels [109]

Answer:

It wastes little energy

Explanation:

The efficiency of a machine refers to the ratio of work output to the work input as a percentage.
The efficiency of most machines is less than 100% because some work is lost due to friction and heat.
Therefore, a machine with high efficiency has less wastage of energy due to factors such as friction of the moving parts. Conversely, low efficiency means there is more wastage of energy.

describe how a physical property, such as mass or texture, can change without causing a change in the substance

kari74 [83]

On the mass subject you could simply change the weight, on the texture subject you could smooth it out like polishing fresh wood, or you could change the color of water with a drink-mix packet. Hope it helped!
