7 0

Answer:

λ = 300 m

Explanation:

We are given;

Speed; v = 1500 m/s

Frequency; f = 5 Hz.

Formula for wavelength is given by;

λ = v/f

Plugging in the relevant values;

λ = 1500/5

λ = 300 m

(a) Calculate the buoyant force on a 2.00-L helium balloon.

iragen [17]

Answer:

0.0239364 N

0.0057879 N

Explanation:

$\rho$ = Density of the gas

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

V = Volume

Mass of rubber = 1.5 g

Buoyant force is given by

$F_b=\rho gV\\\Rightarrow F_b=1.22\times 9.81\times 2\times 10^{-3}\\\Rightarrow F_b=0.0239364\ N$

The buoyant force is 0.0239364 N

Net vertical force is given by

$F_n=F_b-W_{He}-W_{r}\\\Rightarrow F_n=0.0239364-0.175\times 2\times 10^{-3}\times 9.81-1.5\times 10^{-3}\times 9.81\\\Rightarrow F_n=0.0057879\ N$

The net vertical force is 0.0057879 N

Sarah, whose mass is 40 kg, is on her way to school after a winter storm when she accidentally slips on a patch of ice whose coe

RideAnS [48]

Sarah's acceleration is $-0.49 m/s^2$

Explanation:

The force of kinetic friction acting on Sarah has a magnitude which is given by:

$F_f = \mu mg$

where

$\mu$ is the coefficient of kinetic friction

m is Sarah's mass

g is the acceleration of gravity

Moreover, according to Newton's second law of motion, we know that the net force on Sarah is equal to its mass times its acceleration:

$F=ma$

where a is the acceleration

Since the force of friction is the only force acting on Sarah, we can say that the net force is equal to the force of friction, therefore:

$F=-\mu mg = ma$

where the negative sign is due to the fact that the force of friction has a direction opposite to the motion of Sarah. Solving for a, we find

$a=-\mu g$

And substituting the following values:

$\mu = 0.05$ (coefficient of friction)

$g=9.81 m/s^2$ (acceleration of gravity)

we find:

$a=-(0.05)(9.81)=-0.49 m/s^2$

By what factors does the speed of the elctron exceed that of the proton?

____ [38]

Answer:

» An electron is lighter than a proton.

explanation:

${ = \: \sf{an \: electron \: has \: formula \: \: }}{ \bf{ {}^{0}_{ - 1}e }}$

hence it's mass number is zero

${ = \: \sf{an \: electron \: is \: helium \: particle \: \: }}{ \bf{ {}^{4} _{2}He }}$

hence it's mass number is 4

Therefore, proton is heavier than electron

» An electron has a small charge magnitude than a proton.

Explanation:

An electron has charge of -1 while proton has charge of +2, therefore electron is less deflected by any energetic fields than a proton

A disk with a uniform positive surface charge density lies in the x-y plane, centered on the origin. The disk contains 2.5 x 10-

allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

E=3 x 10^4 N/c

Explanation:

The electric field strength can be found out disk with a uniform positive surface charge density by

$E= (\sigma/\2epsilon_o)(1-z/ \sqrt(z^2+r^2))$

σ= charge density

r= radius of the disk

z= position in which we have to find electric field = 15 cm

ε_0= constant ( vacuum permitivity)

putting values we get

$E= \frac{2.5\times10^{-6}}{2\times2.5\times10^{-6}}(1-\frac{0.15}{\sqrt{0.15^2+0.075^2} })$

solving we get

E=30000 N/c

E=3 x 10^4 N/c
