A particle moves along the x axis. It is intially at the position 0.270 m, moving with velocity 0.140 m/s and acceleration -0.32
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

The position of the particle is -2.34 m.

Explanation:

Hi there!

The equation of position of a particle moving in a straight line with constant acceleration is the following:

x = x0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · a · t²

Where:

x = position of the particle at a time t:

x0 = initial position.

v0 = initial velocity.

t = time

a = acceleration

We have the following information:

x0 = 0.270 m

v0 = 0.140 m/s

a = -0.320 m/s²

t = 4.50 s  (In the question, where it says "4.50 m/s^2" it should say "4.50 s". I have looked on the web and have confirmed it).

Then, we have all the needed data to calculate the position of the particle:

x = x0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · a · t²

x = 0.270 m + 0.140 m/s · 4.50 s - 1/2 · 0.320 m/s² · (4.50 s)²

x = -2.34 m

The position of the particle is -2.34 m.

A photon ionizes a hydrogen atom from the ground state. The liberated electron 11. recombines with a proton into the first excit
anygoal [31]

Answer:

a) 23.2 e V

b) energy of the original photon is 36.8 eV

Explanation:

given,

energy at ground level = -13.6 e V

energy at first exited state = - 3.4 e V

A photon of energy ionized from ground state and electron of energy K is released.

h ν₁ - 13.6 = K

K combine with photon in first exited state giving out photon of energy

h\nu_2 =\dfrac{hc}{\lambda}=\dfrac{12400}{466}

            = 26.6 e V

h c = 6.626 ×  10⁻³⁴ ×  3  × 10⁸  = 12400 e V A°

K + ( 3.4 ) = 26.6 e V

a) energy of free electron

K = 26.6 - 3.4 = 23.2 e V

b) energy of the original photon

h ν₁ - 13.6 = K

h ν₁  = 23.2 + 13.6

       = 36.8 e V

energy of the original photon is 36.8 eV

A steel spur pinion has a module of 2 mm, 17 teeth cut on the 20° full-depth system, and a face width of 20 mm. At a speed of 16
erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

The value of bending stress on the pinion 35.38 M pa

Explanation:

Given data

m = 2 mm

Pressure angle \phi = 20°

No. of teeth T = 17

Face width (b) = 20 mm

Speed N = 1650 rpm

Power = 1200 W

Diameter of the pinion gear

D = m T

D = 2 × 17

D = 34 mm

Velocity of the pinion gear

V =\pi D( \frac{N}{60} )

V = 3.14 (0.034) \frac{(1650)}{60}

V = 2.93 \frac{m}{s}

Form factor for the pinion gear is

Y = 0.303

Now

K_{v} = \frac{6.1 +0.303}{6.1} = 1.049

Force on gear tooth

F = \frac{P}{V}

F = \frac{1200}{2.93}

F = 408.73 N

Now the bending stress is given by the formula

\sigma = \frac{K_{v} F}{m b y}

\sigma = \frac{(1.049)(408.73)}{(0.002)(0.02)(0.303)}

\sigma = 35.38 M pa

This is the value of bending stress on the pinion

Two particles are moving along the x axis. Particle 1 has a mass m₁ and a velocity v₁ = +4.7 m/s. Particle 2 has a mass m₂ and a
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

m₁ / m₂ = 1.3

Explanation:

We can work this problem with the moment, the system is formed by the two particles

The moment is conserved, to simulate the system the particles initially move with a moment and suppose a shock where the particular that, without speed, this determines that if you center, you should be stationary, which creates a moment equal to zero

    p₀o = m₁ v₁ + m₂ v₂

    pf = 0

    m₁ v₁ + m₂ v₂ = 0

    m₁ / m₂ = -v₂ / v₁

    m₁ / m₂=  - (-6.2) / 4.7

     m₁ / m₂ = 1.3

Another way to solve this exercise is to use the mass center relationship

    Xcm = 1/M    (m₁ x₁ + m₂ x₂)

We derive from time

   Vcm = 1/M   (m₁ v₁ + m₂v₂)

As they say the velocity of the center of zero masses

    0 = 1/M   (m₁ v₁ + m₂v₂)

   m₁ v₁ + m₂v₂ = 0

    m₁ / m₂ = -v₂ / v₁

   m₁ / m₂ = 1.3
