Hello!

a) What is the change in momentum?

The change of the momentum is the velocity, because the velocity is reduced to zero.

We can calculate the aceleration, applicating the formula:

$\boxed{a=\frac{V-Vi}{t} }$

Like you see, the final velocity will be zero, so:

$a = \dfrac{0m/s-40m/s}{4s}$

$a = \dfrac{-40m/s}{4s}$

$a = -10\ m/s^{2}$

Like you see, the aceleration applicate by superman is of -10 m/s^2.

If the aceleration is negattive, means the velocity will decrease.

b.) What is the magnitud of the force wich superman exerts on the train?

For calculate the force applicate for superman, lets applicate the second law of Newton:

$\boxed{F=ma}$

Lets replace and resolve it:

F = 8x10^3 kg * (-10 m/s^2)

F = 8000 kg * (-10 m/s^2)

F = -80 000 N

The force applicated is of -80000 Newtons.

When the force is negative means the force applicated in the another direction of the object what is traveling.

Through what potential difference would you need to accelerate an alpha particle, starting from rest, so that it will just reach

Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

$\Delta V = 1.8 \times 10^7 V$

Explanation:

GIVEN

diameter = 15 fm = $15 \times 10^{-15}$ m

we use here energy conservation

$K_{i}+U_{i} =K_{f}+U_{f}$

there will be some initial kinetic energy but after collision kinetic energy will zero

$K_{i} + 0 = 0 + \frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon _{0}} \frac{(2e)(92e)}{7.5 \times 10^{-15}}$

on solving these equations we get kinetic energy initial

$KE_{i} = 5.65\times 10 ^{-12} \times \frac {1 eV}{1.6 \times 10^{-19}}$

$KE_{i} = 35.33$ J ..............(i)

That is, the alpha particle must be fired with 35.33 MeV of kinetic energy. An alpha particle with charge q = 2 e

and gains kinetic energy K =e∆V ..........(ii)

by accelerating through a potential difference ∆V

Thus the alpha particle will

just reach the ${238}_U$ nucleus after being accelerated through a potential difference ∆V

equating (i) and second equation we get

e∆V = 35.33 Me V

$\Delta V = \frac{35.33}{2} MV\\\Delta V = 1.8 \times 10^7 V$

I know how the voltage increasing/not enough/stays the same and how long the battery lasts with series and parallel connections.

kirill [66]

Answer:

It comes out the positive side of the battery and goes in to the negative side of the battery

Explanation:

There are already electrons in wires in a circuit before you add the battery. By adding the battery, you're giving the electrons the energy it needs to move along the circuit.

In a series circuit, the circuit is one continuous loop so there is only one path for the electrons to go - out of the positive side of the battery and around the circuit then goes back into the negative side of the battery.

However, with a parallel circuit, there are two or more ways the electrons can go so they take the path of least resistance. The electrons still go out the positive side of a battery but along the circuit, the electrons will go through the path of least resistance ( I tend to think of it like a net with holes in it - the lower the resistance the bigger the holes for the electrons to go through so more can fit in a set amount of time ) but the electrons still go out of the positive side and in through the negative
