Answer: The correct option is A.

Explanation:

The electric potential energy is defined as the work done required in assembling the charges by bringing them close together.

The kinetic energy is due to the motion of the particle.

In the given problem, a proton is moving towards a stationary charged particle. There will an energy change that could occur as the particles get closer.

The moving charge gains electric potential energy and losses its kinetic energy until it stops.

At that point, Kinetic energy will be converted into electric potential energy if the stationary particle is positive.

A baseball with a mass of 151 g is thrown horizontally with a speed of 40.3 m/s (90 mi/h) at a bat. The ball is in contact with
Ghella [55]

Answer:

A baseball (m= 149g) approaches a bat horizontally at a speed of 40.2 m/s (90 mi/h) and is hit straight back at a speed of 45.6m/s (102mi/h). If the ball is in contact with the bat for a time of 1.10ms, what is the average force exerted on the ball by the bat ? Neglect the weight of the ball, since it is so much less than the force of the bat. Choose the direction of the incoming ball as the positive direction.

Explanation:

Use the impulse equation (a form of Newton's 2nd Law): FΔt = Δ(mv) where Δ means "change in"

The change in momentum is mBB(vf - vi) = (.150 kg)(-46.9 m/s - 40.5 m/s)

Divide this by the time interval and you get F exerted by the bat in Newtons.

Take care.

The shuttles main engine provides 154,360 kg of thrust for 8 minutes. If the shuttle accelerated at 29m/s/s, and fires for at le
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

The answer to the question is

3340800 m far

Explanation:

To solve the question, we note that acceleration = 29 m/s²

Time of acceleration = 8 minutes

Then if the shuttle starts from rest, we have

S = u·t+0.5·a·t² where u = 0 m/s = initial velocity

S = distance traveled, m

a = acceleration of the motion, m/s²

t = time of travel

S = 0.5·a·t² = 0.5×29×(8×60)² = 3340800 m far

blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

7066kg/m³

Explanation:

The forces in these cases (air and water) are: Fa =mg =ρbVg Fw =(ρb −ρw)Vg where ρw = 1000 kg/m3 is density of water and ρb is density of the block and V is its density. We can find it from this two equations:

Fa /Fw = ρb / (ρb −ρw) ρb = ρw (Fa /Fa −Fw) =1000·(1* 21.2 /21.2 − 18.2)

= 7066kg/m³

A radio wave transmits 38.5 W/m2 of power per unit area. A flat surface of area A is perpendicular to the direction of propagati
Margaret [11]

Answer:

P=2.57\times 10^{-7}\ N/m^2

Explanation:

Given that,

A radio wave transmits 38.5 W/m² of power per unit area.

A flat surface of area A is perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave.

We need to find the radiation pressure on it. It is given by the formula as follows :

P=\dfrac{2I}{c}

Where

c is speed of light

Putting all the values, we get :

P=\dfrac{2\times 38.5}{3\times 10^8}\\\\=2.57\times 10^{-7}\ N/m^2

So, the radiation pressure is 2.57\times 10^{-7}\ N/m^2.
