Deceleration ALWAYS means slowing down while negative acceleration does not always have to be slowing down

1 answer:

4 0

A little confused by the wording of the problem, but it is true that an object can have a negative acceleration and be speeding up in the negative direction… so I’d go with True

What is the centripetal acceleration of the earth as it travels around the sun when Earth has an orbital radius of 1.5 x 10^11 m

masya89 [10]

Answer: $0.0058 m/s^{2}$

Explanation:

Centripetal acceleration $a_{C}$ is calculated by the following equation:

$a_{C}=\frac{V^{2}}{r}$

Where:

$V=29.7 \frac{km}{h} \frac{1000 m}{1 km}=29700 m/s$ is the Earth's orbital speed

$r=1.5(10)^{11} m$ is the orbital radius

$a_{C}=\frac{(29700 m/s)^{2}}{1.5(10)^{11} m}$

$a_{C}=0.0058 m/s^{2}$

For crystal diffraction experiments, wavelengths on the order of 0.25 nm are often appropriate.

Kamila [148]

Answer:

A) E = 4.96 x 10³ eV

B) E = 4.19 x 10⁴ eV

C) E = 3.73 x 10⁹ eV

Explanation:

For photon energy is given as:

$E = hv$

$E = \frac{hc}{\lambda}$

where,

E = energy of photon = ?

h = 6.625 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s

λ = wavelength = 0.25 nm = 0.25 x 10⁻⁹ m

Therefore,

$E = \frac{(6.625 x 10^{-34} J.s)(3 x 10^8 m/s)}{0.25 x 10^{-9} m}$

$E = (7.95 x 10^{-16} J)(\frac{1 eV}{1.6 x 10^{-19} J})$

E = 4.96 x 10³ eV

The energy of a particle at rest is given as:

$E = m_{0}c^2$

where,

E = Energy of electron = ?

m₀ = rest mass of electron = 9.1 x 10⁻³¹ kg

c = speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

Therefore,

$E = (9.1 x 10^{-31} kg)(3 x 10^8 m/s)^2\\$

$E = (8.19 x 10^{-14} J)(\frac{1 eV}{1.6 x 10^{-19} J})\\$

E = 4.19 x 10⁴ eV

The energy of a particle at rest is given as:

$E = m_{0}c^2$

where,

E = Energy of alpha particle = ?

m₀ = rest mass of alpha particle = 6.64 x 10⁻²⁷ kg

c = speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

Therefore,

$E = (6.64 x 10^{-27} kg)(3 x 10^8 m/s)^2\\$

$E = (5.97 x 10^{-10} J)(\frac{1 eV}{1.6 x 10^{-19} J})\\$

E = 3.73 x 10⁹ eV

inysia [295]

Answer:

PRO'S OF SOLAR ENERGY: reduced electricity bills, low maintenance cost, renewable energy source.

CONS OF SOLAR ENERGY: Cost, relies on weather, takes up a lot of space.

PROS OF WIND ENERGY: Clean environment, cost effective, Free

CON'S OF WIND ENERGY: Wind turbines are noisy, strength of wind is not always reliable

PROS OF GEOTHERMAL ENERGY: Save about 30% - 60% on heating and cooling, not weather dependent.

CONS OF GEOTHERMAL ENERGY: Greenhouse emission, high investment cost, requires a lot of land.

PROS OF BIOMASS ENERGY: Reduced dependence on fossil fuels, carbon neutral, waste reduction.

CONS OF BIOMASS ENERGY: Emissions, deforestation. cost.

PROS OF HYDROELECTRIC ENERGY: Good for the environment, reliable, efficient.

CONS OF HYDROELECTRIC ENERGY: Expensive, not always safe, you can't place hydroelectric energy anywhere you want.
