<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>

This exposes the individual to danger. <em>Remember</em>, the Newton Law of motion which says that an object under the state of rest will remain in that state (inertia) unless when acted upon by an external force.

In this scenario, standing at the back of the pickup truck presents danger especially if the truck suddenly stops; this individual would experience an upward thrust due to inertia that may disbalance him.

The incorrect statement about electromagnetic waves is C. induction of electric fields by changing magnetic fields only occurs if a conducting material is present.
Electromagnetic waves do not rely on any medium for propagation, which means that the generation of fields is irrespective of the presence of a conducting material.

what would the mass be of an object that was moving at a velocity of 35 m/s and has a kinetic energy of 500j be?
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

0.816 kg

Explanation:

E_k=\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}\\

so m=\frac{2E_k}{v^2}=\frac{2\times500}{35^2}=0.816 kg

A 0.01 kg spring toy is compressed 0.02 m and released vertically. The toy is measured to reach 0.25 m in the air. Determine the
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

122.5 N/m

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of energy, if there is no air resistance or frictional forces, the initial elastic potential energy of the spring toy is entirely converted into gravitational potential energy when the toy reaches the highest point.

Therefore, we can write:

\frac{1}{2}kx^2=mgh

where the term on the left is the initial elastic potential energy while the term on the right is the gravitational potential energy, and where

k is the spring constant

x = 0.02 m is the compression of the spring

m = 0.01 kg is the mass of the toy

h = 0.25 m is the height reached by the toy

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

Solving for k,

k=\frac{2mgh}{x^2}=\frac{2(0.01)(9.8)(0.25)}{(0.02)^2}=122.5 N/m

A diode vacuum tube consists of a cathode and an anode spaced 5-mm apart. If 300 V are applied across the plates. What is the ve
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

Explanation:

There is electric field between the plates whose value is given by the following expression

electric field E =  V /d where V is potential between the plates and d is distance between them

E = 300 / 5 x 10⁻³

=  60 x 10³ N/c

Force on electron = q E where q is charge on the electron

F = 1.6 X 10⁻¹⁹ X 60 X 10³ = 96 X 10⁻¹⁶ N.

Acceleration a = force / mass

a = 96 x 10⁻¹⁶/ mass  = 96 x 10⁻¹⁶ / 9.1 x 10⁻³¹

= 10.55 x 10¹⁵ m / s²

For midway , distance travelled

s =  2.5 x 10⁻³ m

s      =  1\2 a t²

t = \sqrt{\frac{2s}{a\\ } }

= \sqrt{\frac{2\times2.5\times10^{-3}}{ 10.55\times10^{15}}

t = .474 x 10⁻¹⁸ s

For striking the plate time is calculated as follows

t = [tex]\sqrt{\frac{2\times5\times10^{-3}}{ 10.55\times10^{15}}[/tex]

t = 0.67 x 10⁻¹⁸ s
