Explanation:
It is given that,
Mass of the object, m = 0.8 g = 0.0008 kg
Electric field, E = 534 N/C
Distance, s = 12 m
Time, t = 1.2 s
We need to find the acceleration of the object. It can be solved as :
m a = q E.......(1)
m = mass of electron
a = acceleration
q = charge on electron
"a" can be calculated using second equation of motion as :
a = 16.67 m/s²
Now put the value of a in equation (1) as :
q = 0.0000249 C
or
Hence, this is the required solution.
Answers:
a) -2.54 m/s
b) -2351.25 J
Explanation:
This problem can be solved by the <u>Conservation of Momentum principle</u>, which establishes that the initial momentum must be equal to the final momentum
:
(1)
Where:
(2)
(3)
is the mass of the first football player
is the velocity of the first football player (to the south)
is the mass of the second football player
is the velocity of the second football player (to the north)
is the final velocity of both football players
With this in mind, let's begin with the answers:
a) Velocity of the players just after the tackle
Substituting (2) and (3) in (1):
(4)
Isolating :
(5)
(6)
(7) The negative sign indicates the direction of the final velocity, to the south
b) Decrease in kinetic energy of the 110kg player
The change in Kinetic energy is defined as:
(8)
Simplifying:
(9)
(10)
Finally:
(10) Where the minus sign indicates the player's kinetic energy has decreased due to the perfectly inelastic collision
