A baseball player slides into third base with an initial speed of 4.0 m/s . if the coefficient of kinetic friction between the p

layer and the ground is 0.40, how far does the player slide before coming to rest?

The work done by the friction force to stop the player is equal to his loss of kinetic energy:
W= \Delta K

The work done by the friction force is the magnitude of the force \mu m g times the distance covered by the player, d:
W= \mu mg d

The loss in kinetic energy is simply equal to the initial kinetic energy of the player, since the final kinetic energy is zero (the player comes to rest):
\Delta K=K_i =  \frac{1}{2}mv^2

Substituting into the first equation, we get:
\mu m g d=  \frac{1}{2}mv^2
from which we find d, the distance covered by the player:
d= \frac{v^2}{2 \mu g}= \frac{(4.0 m/s)^2}{2 \cdot 0.4 \cdot 9.81 m/s^2}=2.04 m

A cylindrical region of radius R contains a uniform magnetic field parallel to its axis. The field is zero outside the cylinder.
PtichkaEL [24]

The magnitude of the induced electric field is (RdB/dt)/4

The induced electric field is gotten from

-∫E.dl = dФ/dt where E = induced electric field, dl = path length vector, Ф = magnetic flux through cylindrical region = AB where A = area of magnetic flux = πR² where R = radius of cylindrical region and B = magnetic field.

So, -∫E.dl = dФ/dt

-∫E.dl = dAB/dt

-∫Edlcos0 = AdB/dt (where E.dl = Edlcos0 = Edl since E and dl are parallel to each other.)

So -∫Edl = πR²dB/dt

-E∫dl = πR²dB/dt (∫dl = 2πr since the integral is the circumference of the path)

-E(2πr) = πR²dB/dt (we integrate dl from r = 0 to 2R)

-E2π(2R - 0) = πR²dB/dt

-E4πR= πR²dB/dt

E = πR²dB/dt ÷ 4πR

E = -(RdB/dt)/4

So, the magnitude of the induced electric field is (RdB/dt)/4

Light rays bend as they pass from air into water at an angle (not 90 degrees). this is refraction. air water normal incident ray
xxTIMURxx [149]

When light ray pass from air into water, its speed and wavelength change only the frequency of the light doesn't change.

Light travels slower in a medium of higher refractive index. It bends because of this change in speed. The wavelength of light also changes in order to maintain the constant frequency.

What is the only possible value of ml for an electron in an s orbital?
Archy [21]

Answer:

  • zero

Explanation:

m_l     is the magnetic quantum number.

The only possible value for the magnetic quantum number for an electron in an s orbital is 0.

The first three quantun numbers are:

  • n: principal quantum number. It may have positive integer values: 1, 2, 3, 4,5, 6, 7, ...

  • l : Azimuthal or angular momentum quantum number. It may have integer values from 0 to n - 1.

       This quantum number is related to the type (or shape) of the orbital:

        For s orbitals l=0

        For p orbitals l=1

        For d orbitals l=2

         For f orbitals l=3

In this case, it is an s orbital, so we have l=0.

  • m_l , the third quantum number can have integer values  {from-l}   to    {+l}

       Since, for the s orbitals  l=0 , the only possible value for {m_l} is zero.
