What mistake did Farah make in this experiment? Farah conducted the following experiment to check whether fabrics of different c

olours take different times to dry. She took one piece each of red, white and blue cotton. They were all of the same size and quality. She wet each piece with the same amount of water and hung them from spring balances near a fan as shown above. She noted the weight of each piece of cotton. She then put the fan on and noted the weight of each piece of cotton at the end of every two minutes. The weight of all the pieces of cotton decreased as water evaporated from the them.​

She hung up the pieces of cotton BEFORE putting the fan on, also the water evaporating can take longer or shorter even if they are all the same :))

While moving a box 10.0 m across the floor, Sam pushes with a force of 150 N to the right. The force friction acting on the box
svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

Explanation:required formula is

W 1=F*S

W1=work done by Sam =?

F=force applied by sam=150N

S=displacement =10m

again

W2=F*S

W2=work done by friction =?

S=displacement =10m

F=friction =25N

W=W1-W2=net work done

please feel free to ask if you have any questions

At locations A and B, the electric potential has the values VA = 1.83 V and VB = 5.17 V, respectively. A proton released from re
densk [106]

Answer:

a. It starts at point B.

vp = 2.53*10⁴ m/s

a. it starts at point A.

ve= 1.08*10⁶ m/s

Explanation:

a)  As the proton is a positive charge, when released from rest, it will be accelerated due to the potential difference, from the higher potential to the lower one, so it is at the point B when released.

Once released, as the total energy must be conserved, the increase in kinetic energy must be equal (in magnitude) to the change in the electric potential energy, as follows:

ΔK + ΔUe = 0 ⇒ ΔK = -ΔUe =- (e*ΔV)

⇒ -( e* (VA-VB) ) = \frac{1}{2}*mp*v^{2}

where e= elementary charge= 1.6*10⁻¹⁹ C,  VA = 1.83 V, VB= 5.17V, and mp= mass of proton = 1.67*10⁻²⁷ kg.

Replacing by these values, and solving for v, we have:

v = \sqrt{\frac{2*1.6e-19C*3.34 V}{1.67e-27kg} } = 2.53e4 m/s

⇒ vp = 2.53*10⁴ m/s

b) If, instead of a proton, the charge realeased from rest, had been an electron, a few things would change:

First, as the electrons carry negative charges, they move from the lower potentials to the higher ones, which means that it would have started at point A.

Second, as its charge is (-e) the change in electric potential energy had been negative also:

ΔUe = -e*ΔV = -e* (VB-VA)

In order to find the speed of the electron when it is just passing point B, we can apply the conservation of energy principle as for the proton, as follows:

-( (-e)* (VB-VA) ) = \frac{1}{2}*me*v^{2}

where e= elementary charge= 1.6*10⁻¹⁹ C,  VA = 1.83 V, VB= 5.17V, and me= mass of electron = 9.1*10⁻³¹ kg.

Replacing by these values, and solving for v, we have:

v = \sqrt{\frac{2*1.6e-19C*3.34 V}{9.1e-31kg} } = 1.08e6 m/s

⇒ ve = 1.08*10⁶ m/s

A skateboarder is moving 5.25 m/s when he starts to roll up a frictionless hill. How much higher is he when his velocity has red
Taya2010 [7]
Mechanical energy E = mgh + 1/2mv²

When he starts, let h = 0 ⇒ E₁ = 1/2mv₁²
When he reaches height h ⇒ E₂ = mgh + 1/2mv₂²

Without friction, energy is conserved at all times.

E₁ = E₂
     ↓
1/2mv₁² = mgh + 1/2mv₂²
     ↓
1/2v₁² = gh + 1/2v₂²
     ↓
gh = 1/2(v₁² - v₂²)
    ↓
h = (v₁² - v₂²) / (2g)
