Answer:

Opposite direction

Explanation:

For example: The first object travels in the direction pointing to east, while the other one travels pointing to the west.

The first object will have a positive value while the second one will have a negative, cause it's going to the opposite direction

solmaris [256]

Answer:

the density of mobile electrons in the material is 3.4716 × 10²⁵ m⁻³

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

we make use of the following expression;

hall Voltage VH = IB / ned

where I = 2.25 A

B = 0.685 T

d =  0.107 mm =  0.107 × 10⁻³ m

e = 1.602×10⁻¹⁹ C

VH = 2.59 mV = 2.59 × 10⁻³ volt

n is the electron density

so from the form; VH = IB / ned

VHned = IB

n = IB / VHed

so we substitute

n = (2.25 × 0.685) / ( 2.59 × 10⁻³ × 1.602×10⁻¹⁹ × 0.107 × 10⁻³ )

n = 1.54125 /  4.4396226 × 10⁻²⁶

n = 3.4716 × 10²⁵ m⁻³

Therefore, the density of mobile electrons in the material is 3.4716 × 10²⁵ m⁻³

A boy jumps from rest, straight down from the top of a cliff. He falls halfway down to the water below in 0.866 s. How much time
Iteru [2.4K]
<h2>Entire trip takes 1.22 seconds.</h2>

Explanation:

We have equation of motion s = ut + 0.5 at²

        Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

        Acceleration, a = 9.81 m/s²  

        Time, t = 0.866 s      

     Substituting

                      s = ut + 0.5 at²

                      s = 0 x 0.866 + 0.5 x 9.81 x 0.866²

                      s = 3.68 m

      Halfway is 3.68 m

Total height = 2 x 3.68 = 7.36 m

We have equation of motion s = ut + 0.5 at²

        Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

        Acceleration, a = 9.81 m/s²  

        Time, t = ?

        Displacement, s  = 7.36 m

     Substituting

                      s = ut + 0.5 at²

                      7.36 = 0 x t + 0.5 x 9.81 x t²

                      t = 1.22 s

Entire trip takes 1.22 seconds.
