If the kinetic energy of an electron is 4.1e-18 j, what is the speed of the electron? (you can use the approximate (nonrelativis
arlik [135]
The kinetic energy of the electron is
K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2
where m=9.1 \cdot 10^{-31} kg is the mass of the electron and v its speed. Since we know the value of the kinetic energy, K=4.1 \cdot 10^{-18} J, we can find the value of the speed v:
v= \sqrt{ \frac{2K}{m} }= \sqrt{ \frac{2\cdot 4.1 \cdot 10^{-18}J}{9.1 \cdot 10^{-31}kg} }  = 3\cdot 10^6 m/s

The winch takes in cable at the constant rate of 130 mm/s. if the cylinder mass is 115 kg, determine the tension in cable 1. neg
nikitadnepr [17]
By applying Newton's second law of motion;

ma = mg - T

Where,
m = mass; a = downward accelerations (+ve value) or upward acceleration (-ve value); g = gravitational acceleration; T = tension.

For the current case, the velocity is constant therefore,
a = 0

Then,
0 = mg - T
T = mg = 115*9.81 = 1128.15 N

Tension in the cable is 1128.15 N.

A carnival Ferris wheel has a 15-m radius and completes five turns about its horizontal axis every minute. What is the accelerat
Tanzania [10]

If a Ferris wheel has a 15-m radius and completes five turns about its horizontal axis every minute then the acceleration of a passenger at his lowest point during the ride is 4.11 \text{m/s}^{2}.

Calculation:

Step-1:

It is given that the radius of the Ferris wheel is r=15 m, and the angular speed of the wheel is \omega=5rev/min.

It is required to find the angular acceleration of a passenger at his lowest point during the ride.

The formula required to calculate the angular acceleration is, a=\omega ^2 r.

Step-2:

Now substituting the given values into the equation to get the value of the angular acceleration.

\begin{aligned}a &=\omega^{2} r \\&=(5 \mathrm{rev} / \mathrm{min})^{2}(15 \mathrm{~m}) \\&=\left(5 \mathrm{rev} / \mathrm{min} \times \frac{\left(\frac{2 \pi}{60}\right) \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{sec}}{1 \mathrm{rev} / \mathrm{min}}\right)^{2}(15 \mathrm{~m}) \\&=(0.2741 \times 15) \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2} \\&=4.11 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}\end{aligned}

The acceleration is towards upwards that means towards the center of the wheel.

Which statements describe the Mercalli scale? Check all that apply.
konstantin123 [22]
<h3><u>Full question:</u></h3>

Which statements describe the Mercalli scale? Check all that apply.

A. This scale measures seismic waves based on their size.

B. This scale rates an earthquake according to how much damage it causes.

C.This scale produces a single rating for earthquakes that reach the surface.

D. This scale uses Roman numerals to rank the damage caused by an earthquake.

E.This scale measures the magnitude of an earthquake based on the size of seismic waves.

<h3><u>Answer:</u></h3>

The Mercalli scale : This scale rates an earthquake according to how much damage it causes and This scale uses Roman numerals to rank the damage caused by an earthquake.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

The Modified Mercalli scale is intended to illustrate the consequences of an earthquake, at a contracted station, on tangible characteristics, on modern fittings and human beings.

The Modified Mercalli Intensity value ascribed to a particular site subsequent an earthquake has an extra significant means of severity to the nonscientist than the magnitude because intensity assigns to the outcomes really encountered at that position. This scale is comprised of 12 growing levels of intensity, denoted by Roman numerals, arranging from gradual shaking to catastrophic impairment.

A ball rolls onto the path of your car as you drive down a quiet neighborhood street. to avoid hitting the child that runs to re
KengaRu [80]

Since the acceleration of car is uniform so the distance traveled by car while brakes are applied is given by

d = \frac{v_f + v_i}{2}*t

given that

v_f = 9 m/s

v_i = 15 m/s

t = 1.20 s

now plug in all data in above formula

d = \frac{15 + 9}{2} * 1.2

d = 14.4 m

so car will cover 14.4 m distance while it apply brakes
