Answer:

kinetic energy of the proton will be 1000eV

Explanation:

As we know that change in potential energy of a point charge when it is passed through a given potential difference is given by the formula

\Delta U = q(\Delta V)

here we know that

charge is due to a proton

q = +e

potential difference is given by

\Delta V = -1000Volts

so here we will have

\Delta U = (+e)(-1000V) = -1000 eV

now by mechanical energy conservation law we know that

\Delta KE + \Delta U = 0

so here we have

KE - 1000eV = 0

KE = 1000 eV

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>

A ball is thrown horizontally from the top of a 55 m building and lands 150 m from the base of the building. Ignore air resistan
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

a) t =3.349 s

b) V_x,i = 44.8 m/s

c) V_y,f = 32.85 m/s

d)  V = 55.55 m/s

Explanation:

Given:

- Total throw in x direction x(f) = 150 m

- Total distance traveled down y(f) = 55 m

Find:

a) How long is the rock in the air in seconds.  

b) What must have been the initial horizontal component of the velocity, in meters per second?

c) What is the vertical component of the velocity just before the rock hits the ground, in meters per second?

d) What is the magnitude of the velocity of the rock just before it hits the ground, in meters per second?

Solution:

- Use the second equation of motion in y direction:

                                 y(f) = y(0) + V_y,i*t + 0.5*g*t^2

- V_y,i = 0 (horizontal throw)

                                 55 = 0 + 0 + 0.5*(9.81)*t^2

                                 t = sqrt ( 55 * 2 / 9.81 )

                                 t =3.349 s

- Use the second equation of motion in x direction:

                                 x(f) = x(0) + V_x,i*t

                                 150 = 0 + V_x,i*3.349

                                  V_x,i = 150 / 3.349 = 44.8 m/s

- Use the first equation of motion in y direction:

                                 V_y,f = V_y,i + g*t

                                 V_y,f = 0 + 9.81*3.349

                                 V_y,f = 32.85 m/s

- The magnitude of velocity of ball when it hits the ground is:

                                 V^2 = V_y,f^2 + V_x,i^2

                                 V = sqrt (32.85^2 + 44.8^2)

                                 V = 55.55 m/s

A coin is placed on a large disk which rotates uniformly at a rate of 1 rot/s. The coefficient of friction between the coin and
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

r = 0.02 m

Explanation:

from the question we have :

speed = 1 rps = 1x 60 = 60 rpm

coefficient of friction (μ) = 0.1

acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s^{2}

maximum distance without falling off (r) = ?

to get how far from the center of the disk the coin can be placed without having to slip off we equate the formula for the centrifugal force with the frictional force on the turntable force

mv^2 / r =  m x g x μ

v^2 / r =  g x μ  .......equation 1

where

velocity (v) = angular speed (rads/seconds) x radius

angular speed (rads/seconds) = (\frac{2π}{60} ) x rpm

angular speed (rads/seconds) = (\frac{2 x π}{60} ) x 60 = 6.28 rads/ seconds

now

velocity = 6.28 x r = 6.28 r

now substituting the value of velocity into equation 1

v^2 / r =  g x μ

(6.28r)^2 / r = 9.8 x 0.1

39.5 x r = 0.98

r = 0.02 m
