If gravity did not affect the path of a horizontally thrown ball the ball would ____

1 answer:

5 0

If gravity did not affect the path of a horizontally thrown ball the ball would eventually slow due to air resistance. If the ball were somehow thrown in a vacuum devoid of gravity and air, it would technically continue in a straight line forever.

A protein molecule in an electrophoresis gel has a negative charge.The exact charge depends on the pH of the solution, but 30 ex

Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

The magnitude of the electric force on a protein with this charge is $7.2\times10^{-15}\ N$

Explanation:

Given that,

Electric field = 1500 N/C

Charge = 30 e

We need to calculate the magnitude of the electric force on a protein with this charge

Using formula of electrostatic force

$F=Eq$

Where, F = force

E = electric field

q = charge

Put the value into the formula

$F=1500\times30\times1.6\times10^{-19}$

$F=7.2\times10^{-15}\ N$

Hence, The magnitude of the electric force on a protein with this charge is $7.2\times10^{-15}\ N$

What is the period of a wave traveling 5 m/s if its wavelength is 20 m/s

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Speed of wave is given as

$v = 5 m/s$

Wavelength of the wave is given as

$\lambda = 20 m$

now from the formula of wave time period we can say

$speed = \frac{wavelength}{time period}$

$5 = \frac{20}{T}$

$T = \frac{20}{5}$

$T = 4 s$

so it will have time period of T = 4 s

You watch a distant lady driving nails into her front porch at a regular rate of 1 stroke per second. You hear the sound of the

Igoryamba

Answer:

λ = 1360 m

Explanation:

Given data:

frequency of driving nails is given as 1 stroke per second mean at every 0.25 sec she hit the nails

speed of sound is given as 340 m/s

we know that the wave equation is given as

Speed = frequency × wavelength,

v = f × λ

where,

v = speed in meters/second (m/s)

f = frequency in Hertz (Hz)

substituing value to get wavelength of her driving nails

$340 m/s = (1Hz)\times \lambda$

$\lambda = \frac{340}{0.25}$

λ = 1360 m

A 5.50-kg object is hung from the bottom end of a vertical spring fastened to an overhead beam. The object is set into vertical

iris [78.8K]

Answer:

17.71N/m

Explanation:

The period of the spring is expressed according to the expression;

$T = 2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k} } \\$

m is the mass of the object

k is the force constant

Given

m = 5.50kg

T = 3.50s

Substitute into the formula;

$T = 2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k} } \\3.5 = 2 (3.14) \sqrt{\frac{5.5}{k} } \\3.5 = 6.28 \sqrt{\frac{5.5}{k} } \\\frac{3.5}{6.28} = \sqrt{\frac{5.5}{k} } \\0.557 = \sqrt{\frac{5.5}{k} } \\square \ both \ sides\\0.557^2 = (\sqrt{\frac{5.5}{k} })^2 \\0.3106 = \frac{5,5}{k}\\k = \frac{5.5}{0.3106}\\k = 17.71N/m$

Hence the force constant of the spring is 17.71N/m
