Answer:

a) The velocity is 2.94m/s

b) 0.441

Explanation:

a) Assume gravity is 9.8m/s^2

Use the equation below to solve for the velocity at 0.30 seconds

$vf=vi+at$ ,

vf =unknown velocity vi= initial velocity vi=0m/s a= 9.8m/s^2 t=0.30seconds

Step 1: Substitute the variables with the knowns

$vf=0m/s+(9.8m/s^2)*0.30seconds$

Step 2: Solve

$vf=2.94m/s$

Use the equation below to solve for the displacement at 0.30 seconds

$x=vit+\frac{1}{2} at^{2}$

Step 1: Substitute the same variables with the knowns

$x=\frac{1}{2}*(9.8m/s^2)*(0.30seconds)^{2}$

Note that vi*t=0 as vi=0m/s

Step 2: Solve

x=0.441m

A uniform, spherical, 1900.0 kg shell has a radius of 5.00 m. Find the gravitational force this shell exerts on a 1.80 kg point

Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

$F=9.09\times 10^{-9} N$

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of spherical shell, $m_1$ =1900 kg

Mass= $m_2=1.80 kg$

Radius of shell=r=5 m

Distance between two masses=r=5.01 m

Because distance measure from center .

Gravitational force

$F=G\frac{m_1m_2}{r^2}$

$G=6.67\times 10^{-11} Nm^2/kg^2$

Using the formula

$F=6.67\times 10^{-11}\times \frac{1900\times 1.80}{(5.01)^2}$

$F=9.09\times 10^{-9} N$

Hence,the gravitational force = $F=9.09\times 10^{-9} N$

An electron is released from rest at a distance of 0.470 m from a large insulating sheet of charge that has uniform surface char

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

Part a)

$W = 1.58 \times 10^{-20} J$

Part b)

$v = 1.86 \times 10^5 m/s$

Explanation:

Part a)

Electric field due to large sheet is given as

$E = \frac{\sigma}{2\epsilon_0}$

$\sigma = 4.00 \times 10^{-12} C/m^2$

now the electric field is given as

$E = \frac{4.00 \times 10^{-12}}{2(8.85 \times 10^{-12})}$

$E = 0.225 N/C$

Now acceleration of an electron due to this electric field is given as

$a = \frac{eE}{m}$

$a = \frac{(1.6 \times 10^{-19})(0.225)}{9.1 \times 10^{-31}}$

$a = 3.97 \times 10^{10}$

Now work done on the electron due to this electric field

$W = F.d$

$d = 0.470 - 0.03$

$d = 0.44 m$

So work done is given as

$W = (ma)(0.44)$

$W = (9.11 \times 10^{-31})(3.97 \times 10^{10})(0.44)$

$W = 1.58 \times 10^{-20} J$

Part b)

Now we know that work done by all forces = change in kinetic energy of the electron

so we will have

$W = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 - 0$

$1.58 \times 10^{-20} = \frac{1}{2}(9.1\times 10^{-31})v^2$

$v = 1.86 \times 10^5 m/s$
