A proton has been accelerated from rest through a potential difference of -1000 v . part a what is the proton's kinetic energy,
wlad13 [49]
We can apply the law of conservation of energy here. The total energy of the proton must remain constant, so the sum of the variation of electric potential energy and of kinetic energy of the proton must be zero:
\Delta U + \Delta K=0
which means
\Delta K = - \Delta U
The variation of electric potential energy is equal to the product between the charge of the proton (q=1eV) and the potential difference (\Delta V=-1000 V):
\Delta U = q \Delta V=(1 eV)(-1000 V)=-1000 eV
Therefore, the kinetic energy gained by the proton is
\Delta K = -(-1000 eV)=1000 eV
<span>And since the initial kinetic energy of the proton was zero (it started from rest), then this 1000 eV corresponds to the final kinetic energy of the proton.</span>

Models are very common. The ingredients list on a bottle of ketchup is a model of its contents, and margarine is a model of butter. A box score from a baseball game is a model of the actual event. A trial over an automobile accident is a model of the actual accident.

A basesball is dropped from 100 meters above the surface of the earth. The baseball falls to the ground. What would happen if th
Serjik [45]

Given that, A basesball is dropped from 100 meters above the surface of the earth. If the same baseball was dropped from 100 meters above the surface of the moon, it will take more time to hit the ground as compare to the ball dropped on earth. This is moon's gravity is one-sixth of that of earth. Object falling on earth possess more force of attraction. So it will reach the earth in lesser time. At moon the force of attraction is low compare to that of earth. Object will take more time to reach the surface.

A skateboarder, starting from rest, rolls down a 12.8-m ramp. When she arrives at the bottom of the ramp her speed is 8.89 m/s.
melamori03 [73]

Answer:

a) a = 3.09 m/s²

b) aₓ = 2.60 m/s²

Explanation:

a) The magnitude of her acceleration can be calculated using the following equation:

V_{f}^{2} = V_{0}^{2} + 2ad

<u>Where</u>:

V_{f}: is the final speed = 8.89 m/s

V_{0}: is the initial speed = 0 (since she starts from rest)

a: is the acceleration

d: is the distance = 12.8 m    

a = \frac{V_{f}^{2}}{2d} = \frac{(8.89 m/s)^{2}}{2*12.8 m} = 3.09 m/s^{2}

Therefore, the magnitude of her acceleration is 3.09 m/s².              

b) The component of her acceleration that is parallel to the ground is given by:

a_{x} = a*cos(\theta)

<u>Where</u>:

θ: is the angle respect to the ground = 32.6 °

a_{x} = 3.09 m/s^{2}*cos(32.6) = 2.60 m/s^{2}

Hence, the component of her acceleration that is parallel to the ground is 2.60 m/s².

I hope it helps you!
