Maggie participated in a race. She ran 100 meters west and then turned back and ran to the starting line to complete the race. M

aggie covered this entire distance in 40 seconds. What are her average speed and average velocity?

Her total distance was 200 meters, since she ran 100 meters west and the same 100 meters back. This gives an average speed of 200 m / 40 s = 5 m/s.

However, her displacement was 0, since she ended at the same place she began, therefore, her average velocity is 0 / 40 s = 0.

Determine the energy required to accelerate an electron between each of the following speeds. (a) 0.500c to 0.900c MeV (b) 0.900
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

The energy required to accelerate an electron is 0.582 Mev and 0.350 Mev.

Explanation:

We know that,

Mass of electron m_{e}=9.11\times10^{-31}\ kg

Rest mass energy for electron = 0.511 Mev

(a). The energy required to accelerate an electron from 0.500c to 0.900c Mev

Using formula of rest,

E=\dfrac{E_{0}}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{v_{f}^2}{c^2}}}-\dfrac{E_{0}}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{v_{i}^2}{c^2}}}

E=\dfrac{0.511}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{(0.900c)^2}{c^2}}}-\dfrac{0.511}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{(0.500c)^2}{c^2}}}

E=0.582\ Mev

(b). The energy required to accelerate an electron from 0.900c to 0.942c Mev

Using formula of rest,

E=\dfrac{E_{0}}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{v_{f}^2}{c^2}}}-\dfrac{E_{0}}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{v_{i}^2}{c^2}}}

E=\dfrac{0.511}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{(0.942c)^2}{c^2}}}-\dfrac{0.511}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{(0.900c)^2}{c^2}}}

E=0.350\ Mev

Hence, The energy required to accelerate an electron is 0.582 Mev and 0.350 Mev.

A 375-pound concrete cylinder has a base area of 144 square inches. with the cylinder resting on its base, the pressure exerted
Akimi4 [234]

The pressure exerted by the concrete cylinder is 2.60 pound/in².

We need to know about the pressure to solve this problem. Pressure is a unit that describes how much force is applied to a surface area. It can be determined as

P = F / A

where P is pressure, F is force and A is area.

From the question above, we know that

F = 375 pound

A = 144 in²

By substituting the given parameters, we can calculate the pressure

P = F / A

P = 375 / 144

P = 2.60 pound/in²

Thus, the pressure should be 2.60 pound/in².

A ball is thrown upwards at an unknown speed. in a time of
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

a)  Initial speed of the ball = 14.45 m/s

b) At height 6 m speed of ball = 9.55 m/s

c) Maximum height reached = 10.65 m

Explanation:

a)  We have equation of motion s=ut+\frac{1}{2} at^2, where s is the displacement, u is the initial velocity, t is the time taken and a is the acceleration.

s = 6 m, t = 0.5 seconds, a = acceleration due to gravity value = -9.8m/s^2

 Substituting

    6=u*0.5-\frac{1}{2} *9.8*0.5^2\\ \\ u=14.45m/s

 Initial speed of the ball = 14.45 m/s

 b) We have equation of motion v^2=u^2+2as, where v is the final velocity

   s = 6 m, u = 14.45 m/s, a = -9.8m/s^2

    Substituting

        v^2=14.45^2-2*9.8*6\\ \\ v=9.55m/s

  So at height 6 m speed of ball = 9.55 m/s

c) We have equation of motion v^2=u^2+2as, where v is the final velocity

   u = 14.45 m/s, v =0 , a = -9.8m/s^2

   Substituting

     0^2=14.45^2-2*9.8*s\\ \\ s=10.65 m

  Maximum height reached = 10.65 m

True or False—An external force is defined as a force generated outside the system of interest that acts on an object inside the
inn [45]

Answer:

An external force is a force that acts on an object within the system from outside the system. This type of force is different than an internal force, which acts between two objects that are both within the system. The net external force combines these two definitions; it is the total combined external force
