I believe the answer would be Light rays are reflected by mirrors
The atomic number is 34. (A)
C according to my calculations
1) The electric potential at a distance r from a single point charge is given by
where k is the Coulomb's constant, q is the charge and r is the distance from the charge.
The charge in this problem is
So the potential at distance
is
2) By using the same formula as before, we can find the electric potential at distance r=99 m from the charge:
You can do this two ways:
1). Whatever kinetic energy the rolling ball has is the amount
of energy you have to absorb in order to stop it.
2). Whatever momentum the rolling ball has is the amount of
momentum you have to provide in the other direction to cancel it.
Since you asked about force and time, we sense 'impulse' in the
air, and we know that impulse is exactly a change in momentum.
So let's use #2 and talk about momentum and impulse.
Impulse = (force) x (time)
Momentum of a moving object is (mass) x (speed) .
-- Momentum of the first ball: (8 kg) x (0.2 m/s) = 1.6 kg-m/s
Impulse required to stop it = 1.6 kg-m/s
(force) x (10 sec) = 1.6
Force required = 1.6 / 10 = 0.16 Newton .
-- Momentum of the second ball: (4 kg) x (1 m/s) = 4 kg-m/s
Impulse required to stop it = 4 kg-m/s
(force) x (10 sec) = 4
Force required = 4 / 10 = 0.4 Newton .
You need more force o stop the second ball. Although its mass
is only 1/2 the mass of the 8kg ball, it's moving 5 times as fast,
and has 2.5 times the momentum of the bigger ball.
So you need 2.5 times as much impulse to stop it.
If you're going to push on each ball for the same length of time,
then you need to push 2.5 times as hard on the smaller ball in
order to stop it.
