 THE PREFIX KILO MEANSTIMES A THOUSAND OR ONE THOUSAND 
natita [175]3 years ago
6 0
In metric that means multiplying or dividing by 10, 100, 1000, etc. It consists of a partial word like "kilo" or "milli". For example, the prefix "kilo" means "times a thousand" or " one thousand of" the units in question. So "kilometer" means one thousand meters and "kilogram" means one thousand grams.

An electron moving parallel to a uniform electric field increases its speed from 2.0 × 10^7 m/s to 4.0 × 10^7 m/s over a distanc
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

E = 2.84 * 10^5 N/C

Explanation:

The speed increased from 2.0 * 10^7 m/s to 4.0 * 10^7 m/s over a 1.2 cm distance.

Let us find the acceleration:

v^2 = u^2 + 2as

(4.0 * 10^7)^2 = (2.0 * 10^7)^2 + 2 * a * 0.012\\\\(4.0 * 10^7)^2 - (2.0 * 10^7)^2 = 0.024a\\\\1.2 * 10^{15}= 0.024a\\\\a = 1.2 * 10^{15} / 0.024\\\\a = 5 * 10^{16} m/s^2

Electric force is given as the product of charge and electric field strength:

F = qE

where q = electric charge

E = Electric field strength

Force is generally given as:

F = ma

where m = mass

a = acceleration

Equating both:

ma = qE

E = ma / q

For an electron:

m = 9.11 × 10^{-31} kg

q = 1.602 × 10^{-19} C

Therefore, the electric field strength of the electron is:

E = \frac{9.11 * 10^{-31} * 5 * 10^{16}}{1.602 * 10^{-19}} \\\\E = 2.84 * 10^5 N/C

A truck has shock absorbers with a spring constant of 24200 N/m. When it hits a bump, it oscillates at 0.429 Hz. What is the mas
siniylev [52]

Answer:

3331.5 kg

Explanation:

Given:

Spring constant of the spring (k) = 24200 N/m

Frequency of oscillation (f) = 0.429 Hz

Let the mass be 'm' kg.

Now, we know that, a spring-mass system undergoes Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM). The frequency of oscillation of SHM is given as:

f=\frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}

Rewrite the above equation in terms of 'm'. This gives,

2\pi f=\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}\\\\Squaring\ both\ sides,\ we\ get:\\\\(2\pi f)^2=\frac{k}{m}\\\\m=\frac{k}{4\pi^2 f^2}

Now, plug in the given values and solve for 'm'. This gives,

m=\frac{24200\ N/m}{4\pi^2\times (0.429\ Hz)^2 }\\\\m=\frac{24200\ N/m}{4\pi^2\times 0.184\ Hz^2}\\\\m\approx3331.5\ kg

Therefore, the mass of the truck is 3331.5 kg.

What is the velocity vector of a particle traveling to the right along the hyperbola y=x^-1 with a constant speed 5cm/s when the
Ronch [10]
:<span>  </span><span>The gradient of the curve 1/x at x=2 is m = -¼ 
We may choose any length of line to represent the direction of the slope (direction vector) at that point. We could choose a line for which x = 2 and then y would have to be -½ so that the gradient is still = -½/2 = -¼. It is simply convenient to choose a unit length for x, making y = -¼ The length of the resultant of x and y is √(1²+¼²) = √(17/16) = √(17)/4 which is a direction vector. If we had taken the direction vector to be (2, ½) then we would have a resultant direction vector of √17/2. It doesn't really matter what length the direction vector is - it's job is only to show the direction. So their choice of 1 is quite arbitrary but convenient, since it is easy to work with units – that's why we use units! 
Now, we know that the magnitude of the velocity vector must be 5 and the magnitude of our direction vector at the moment is √(17)/4. We therefore need to multiply this direction vector by 20/√(17) to get 5 – just try it : √(17)/4 × 20/√(17) = 5. 

We could equally well have done this with (2, ½) and would have got 2½ for lambda.</span>
