A housekeeper is cleaning the kitchen and decides to to use a ladder to reach a top shelf. As he/she is cleaning he/she is start

ed by a mouse and falls off the ladder to the floor. As the he/she is falling, what is true about the magnitude of the Earth's gravitational force exerted on the housekeeper compared to the magnitude of gravitational force that the housekeeper exerts on the Earth?

The amount of gravitational force between both objects will be the same.

The magnitude of the Earth's gravitational force exerted on the housekeeper is calculated by applying Newton's second law of motion;

F = mg

where;

<em>m </em><em>is the mass of the housekeeper</em>

<em>g </em><em>is acceleration due to gravity</em>

According to Newton's third law of motion, action and reaction are equal and opposite.

The force exerted on the housekeeper by the Earth is equal in magnitude to the force exerted on the Earth by the housekeeper.

$F_{H} = - F_{E}$

The two forces are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction.

Thus, the correct option is " the amount of gravitational force between both objects will be the same"

<em>The</em><em> missing part</em><em> of the </em><em>question </em><em>is below:</em>

a. the Earth exerts the largest amount of gravitational force

b. the housekeeper exerts the largest amount of gravitational force

c. the amount of gravitational force between both objects will be the same

F should be 10. If The Whole top is 50cm, then we should subtract 10n and 30n which gives us 10.

Or it could be 15 if both top and bottom are 25. 10+15= 25.

One electron collides elastically with a second electron initially at rest. After the collision, the radii of their trajectories

ch4aika [34]

Answer:

114.92749 keV

Explanation:

r = Radius of trajectory

m = Mass of electron = $9.11\times 10^{-31}\ kg$

B = Magnetic field = 0.044 T

q = Charge of electron = $1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C$

The centripetal force and the magnetic forces are conserved

$m\frac{v^2}{r}=Bqv\\\Rightarrow v=\frac{Bqr}{m}$

Velocity of first electron

$v=\frac{Bqr_1}{m}\\\Rightarrow v=\frac{0.044\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 0.01}{9.11\times 10^{-31}}\\\Rightarrow v_1=77277716.79473\ m/s$

Velocity of second electron

$v=\frac{Bqr_2}{m}\\\Rightarrow v_2=\frac{0.044\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 0.024}{9.11\times 10^{-31}}\\\Rightarrow v_2=185466520.30735\ m/s$

Total kinetic energy is given by

$K=K_1+K_2\\\Rightarrow K=\frac{1}{2}mv_1^2+\frac{1}{2}mv_2^2\\\Rightarrow K=\frac{1}{2}m(v_1^2+v_2^2)\\\Rightarrow K=\frac{1}{2}\times 9.11\times 10^{-31}(77277716.79473^2+185466520.30735^2)\\\Rightarrow K=1.83884\times 10^{-14}\ J$

Converting to eV

$1\ J=\frac{1}{1.6\times 10^{-19}}\ eV$

$1.83884\times 10^{-14}\ J=1.83884\times 10^{-14}\times \frac{1}{1.6\times 10^{-19}}\ eV\\ =114927.49\ ev=114.92749\ keV$

The energy of incident electron is 114.92749 keV

An object is 30 cm in front of a converging lens with a focal length of 10 cm. Use ray tracing to determine the location of the

poizon [28]

Answer:

Inverted

Real

Explanation:

u = Object distance = 30 cm

v = Image distance

f = Focal length = 10 cm

Lens Equation

$\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{u}+\frac{1}{v}\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{f}-\frac{1}{u}=\frac{1}{v}\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{v}=\frac{1}{10}-\frac{1}{30}\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{v}=\frac{1}{15}\\\Rightarrow v=15\ cm$

As, the image distance is positive the image is real and forms on the other side of the lens

$m=-\frac{v}{u}\\\Rightarrow m=-\frac{-15}{30}\\\Rightarrow m=-0.5$

As, the magnification is negative the image is inverted
