Answer:

The distance traveled in 1 year is: $3.143*10^{16}ft$

Explanation:

Given

$s = 982,080,000 ft/s$ --- speed

$t = 32,000,000 s$ --- time

Required

The distance traveled

This is calculated as:

$Speed = \frac{Distance}{Time}$

So, we have:

$Distance = Speed * Time$

This gives:

$Distance = 982,080,000 ft/s * 32,000,000 s$

$Distance = 982,080,000 * 32,000,000ft$

$Distance = 3.143*10^{16}ft$ -- approximated

On Earth, a brick has a mass of 10 kg and a weight of 5 lbs. What predictions could we make about the mass and weight of the bri

belka [17]

Answer:

Mass remains constant but weight reduces

Explanation:

Mass is the amount of matter in an object so whether on moon or any other planet, it does not change despite the changes in acceleration.

Weight is a product of mass and acceleration due to gravity, expressed as W=mg where m is the mass, W is weight and g is acceleration. From the above formula, it is evident that when you decrease g, then W also decreases while m is constant. Similarly, when m is constant and g is increased then W also increases.

Therefore, for this case, since g decreases, the weight decreases but mass remains constant.

A 2.0 m × 4.0 m flat carpet acquires a uniformly distributed charge of −10 μC after you and your friends walk across it several

mamaluj [8]

Answer:

The charge on the dust particle is $q_d = 6.94 *10^{-13} \ C$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The length is $l = 2.0 \ m$

The width is $w = 4.0 \ m$

The charge is $q = -10\mu C= -10*10^{-6} \ C$

The mass suspended in mid-air is $m_a = 5.0 \mu g = 5.0 *10^{-6} \ g = 5.0 *10^{-9} \ kg$

Generally the electric field on the carpet is mathematically represented as

$E = \frac{q}{ 2 * A * \epsilon _o}$

Where $\epsilon _o$ is the permittivity of free space with value $\epsilon_o = 8.85*10^{-12} \ \ m^{-3} \cdot kg^{-1}\cdot s^4 \cdot A^2$

substituting values

$E = \frac{-10*10^{-6}}{ 2 * (2 * 4 ) * 8.85*10^{-12}}$

$E = -70621.5 \ N/C$

Generally the electric force keeping the dust particle on the air equal to the force of gravity acting on the particles

$F__{E}} = F__{G}}$

=> $q_d * E = m * g$

=> $q_d = \frac{m * g}{E}$

=> $q_d = \frac{5.0 *10^{-9} * 9.8}{70621.5}$

=> $q_d = 6.94 *10^{-13} \ C$

John runs 120 meters in 10 seconds and then runs back to where he started in another 10 seconds. Which statement is true? Rememb

atroni [7]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

<em>A. His speed is 0 m/s </em>

<em>B. His velocity is 12 m/s </em>

<em>C. His velocity is 0 m/s </em>

<em>D. His acceleration is 12 m/s</em>

Total distance traveled by John = 120 + 120 = 240 meters

Total time taken by John to cover the distance = 10 + 10 = 20 s

<em>Average speed of John = total distance traveled/total time taken</em>

= 240/20 = 12 m/s

Hence, the average speed/velocity of John throughout the journey is 12 m/s.

The correct option is B.

Two particles with masses 2m and 9m are moving toward each other along the x axis with the same initial speeds vi. Particle 2m i

s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

The final speed for the mass 2m is $v_{2y}=-1,51\ v_{i}$ and the final speed for the mass 9m is $v_{1f} =0,85\ v_{i}$ .

The angle at which the particle 9m is scattered is $\theta = -66,68^{o}$ with respect to the - y axis.

Explanation:

In an elastic collision the total linear momentum and the total kinetic energy is conserved.

<u>Conservation of linear momentum:</u>

Because the linear momentum is a vector quantity we consider the conservation of the components of momentum in the x and y axis.

The subindex 1 will refer to the particle 9m and the subindex 2 will refer to the particle 2m

$\vec{p}=m\vec{v}$

$p_{xi} =p_{xf}$

In the x axis before the collision we have

$p_{xi}=9m\ v_{i} - 2m\ v_{i}$

and after the collision we have that

$p_{xf} =9m\ v_{1x}$

In the y axis before the collision $p_{yi} =0$

after the collision we have that

$p_{yf} =9m\ v_{1y} - 2m\ v_{2y}$

so

$p_{xi} =p_{xf} \\7m\ v_{i} =9m\ v_{1x}\Rightarrow v_{1x} =\frac{7}{9}\ v_{i}$

then

$p_{yi} =p_{yf} \\0=9m\ v_{1y} -2m\ v_{2y} \\v_{1y}=\frac{2}{9} \ v_{2y}$

<u>Conservation of kinetic energy:</u>

$\frac{1}{2}\ 9m\ v_{i} ^{2} +\frac{1}{2}\ 2m\ v_{i} ^{2}=\frac{1}{2}\ 9m\ v_{1f} ^{2} +\frac{1}{2}\ 2m\ v_{2f} ^{2}$

so

$\frac{11}{2}\ m\ v_{i} ^{2} =\frac{1}{2} \ 9m\ [(\frac{7}{9}) ^{2}\ v_{i} ^{2}+ (\frac{2}{9}) ^{2}\ v_{2y} ^{2}]+ m\ v_{2y} ^{2}$

Putting in one side of the equation each speed we get

$\frac{25}{9}\ m\ v_{i} ^{2} =\frac{11}{9}\ m\ v_{2y} ^{2}\\v_{2y} =-1,51\ v_{i}$

We know that the particle 2m travels in the -y axis because it was stated in the question.

Now we can get the y component of the speed of the 9m particle:

$v_{1y} =\frac{2}{9}\ v_{2y} \\v_{1y} =-0,335\ v_{i}$

the magnitude of the final speed of the particle 9m is

$v_{1f} =\sqrt{v_{1x} ^{2}+v_{1y} ^{2} }$

$v_{1f} =\sqrt{(\frac{7}{9}) ^{2}\ v_{i} ^{2}+(-0,335)^{2}\ v_{i} ^{2} }\Rightarrow \ v_{1f} =0,85\ v_{i}$

The tangent that the speed of the particle 9m makes with the -y axis is

$tan(\theta)=\frac{v_{1x} }{v_{1y}} =-2,321 \Rightarrow\theta=-66,68^{o}$

As a vector the speed of the particle 9m is:

$\vec{v_{1f} }=\frac{7}{9} v_{i} \hat{x}-0,335\ v_{i}\ \hat{y}$

As a vector the speed of the particle 2m is:

$\vec{v_{2f} }=-1,51\ v_{i}\ \hat{y}$
