Answer:

» Projectile motion is a curved graph.

☑ This is because projectile motion consists of both vertical and horizontal motion, with one starting angle. Hence as the body starts motion, it is acted upon by gravity.

At point v = 0, the motion is free from gravity hence approaching horizontal motion.

Examples;

A ball kicked upwards at an angle which is not 90°
A man playing golf.
A plane dropping a bomb.

Hi there!

Curved graph. 

For an object undergoing projectile motion, the HORIZONTAL component of its remains constant (assuming no air resistance), while the VERTICAL component is changing due to a constant acceleration due to gravity.

We can relate vertical displacement vs. time to this acceleration using the kinematic equation:

$d_y= v_{y0}t + \frac{1}{2}at^2$

dy = displacement (m)

vy₀ = initial vertical velocity (m/s)

t = time (s)

a = acceleration due to gravity (m/s²)

This is an example of a QUADRATIC equation, which means the trajectory of a projectile would form a parabolic shape.

Thus, it would be a curved graph.

German physicist Werner Heisenberg related the uncertainty of an object's position ( Δ x ) to the uncertainty in its velocity (

timama [110]

According to the information given, the Heisenberg uncertainty principle would be given by the relationship

$\Delta x \Delta v \geq \frac{h}{4\pi m}$

Here,

h = Planck's constant

$\Delta v$ = Uncertainty in velocity of object

$\Delta x$ = Uncertainty in position of object

m = Mass of object

Rearranging to find the position

$\Delta x \geq \frac{h}{4\pi m\Delta v}$

Replacing with our values we have,

$\Delta x \geq \frac{6.625*10^{-34}m^2\cdot kg/s}{4\pi (9.1*10^{-31}kg)(0.01*10^6m/s)}$

$\Delta x \geq 5.79*10^{-9}m$

Therefore the uncertainty in position of electron is $5.79*10^{-9}m$

Given two metal balls (that are identical) with charges LaTeX: q_1q 1and LaTeX: q_2q 2. We find a repulsive force one exerts on

Romashka [77]

Answer:

$q_1=\pm0.03 \mu C$ and $q_2=\pm0.02 \mu C.$

Explanation:

According to Coulomb's law, the magnitude of force between two point object having change $q_1$ and $q_2$ and by a dicstanced is

$F_c=\frac{1}{4\pi\spsilon_0}\frac{q_1q_2}{d^2}-\;\cdots(i)$

Where, $\epsilon_0$ is the permitivity of free space and

$\frac{1}{4\pi\spsilon_0}=9\times10^9$ in SI unit.

Before dcollision:

Charges on both the sphere are $q_1$ and $q_2$ , d=20cm=0.2m, and $F_c=1.35\times10^{-4}$ N

So, from equation (i)

$1.35\times10^{-4}=9\times10^9\frac{q_1q_2}{(0.2)^2}$

$\Rightarrow q_1q_2=6\times10^{-16}\;\cdots(ii)$

After dcollision: Each ephere have same charge, as at the time of collision there was contach and due to this charge get redistributed which made the charge density equal for both the sphere t. So, both have equal amount of charhe as both are identical.

Charges on both the sphere are mean of total charge, i.e

$\frac{q_1+q_2}{2}$

d=20cm=0.2m, and $F_c=1.406\times10^{-4}$ N

So, from equation (i)

$1.406\times10^{-4}=9\times10^9\frac{\left(\frac{q_1+q_2}{2}\right)^2}{(0.2)^2}$

$\Rightarrow (q_1+q_2)^2=2.50\times10^{-15}$

$\Rightarrow q_1+q_2=\pm5\times 10^{-8}$

As given that the force is repulsive, so both the sphere have the same nature of charge, either positive or negative, so, here take the magnitude of the charge.

$\Rightarrow q_1+q_2=5\times 10^{-8}\;\cdots(iii)$

$\Rightarrow q_1=5\times 10^{-8}-q_2$

The equation (ii) become:

$(5\times 10^{-8}-q_2)q_2=6\times10^{-16}$

$\Rightarrow -(q_2)^2+5\times 10^{-8}q_2-6\times10^{-16}=0$

$\Rightarrow q_2=3\times10^{-8}, 2\times10^{-8}$

From equation (iii)

$q_1=2\times10^{-8}, 3\times10^{-8}$

So, the magnitude of initial charges on both the sphere are $3\times10^{-8}$ Coulombs $=0.03 \mu C$ and $2\times10^{-8}$ Colombs or $0.02 \mu C$ .

Considerion the nature of charges too,

$q_1=\pm0.03 \mu C$ and $q_2=\pm0.02 \mu C.$

When light travels from air to water at an angle which of the following happens? a) The light slows down and it changes directio

beks73 [17]

Answer:

b) The light slows down and it changes direction towards the perpendicular.

Explanation:

Light travels at different speed in different mediums.

Refractive index is equal to velocity of the light 'c' in empty space divided by the velocity 'v' in the substance.

Or ,

n = c/v.

Light travels at a slower speed in water as compared to air because there are more number of interfering molecules in the path of the light in case of water as compared to liquid.

When a light travels from lower denser medium say water to higher denser medium say water, it bends towards the perpendicular as its speed reduces in that medium.

ANSWER THIS FOR 16 POINTS!!!!!!!!!!

Vlad [161]

Answer:

As the ski jumper starts moving downhill, some of his potential energy changes into kinetic energy (KE). Kinetic energy moves him down the slope to the ramp. When the ski jumper takes off from the ramp, some of his kinetic energy is changed back into potential energy as he rises in the air.

Explanation: hope this helps
