Answer:

The average acceleration is about 8.51 m/s

Explanation:

We can use the formula for acceleration to solve.

a = $\frac{velocity_{final} -velocity_{start} }{time}$

a = $\frac{80-0}{9.4}$

a = $\frac{80}{9.4}$

a ≈ 8.51

Which of the following is proportional to the net external force acting on a body?

swat32

Well, Velocity is the speed of something in a given direction, and speed is the rate at which someone or something is able to more or operate. They both invlove speed, so this is a hard one, but I wold say either B or D

An ideal spring is hung vertically from the ceiling. The spring constant is k = 125 N/m. A block of mass m = 650 g (1000 g = 1 k

Brrunno [24]

Answer:

0.102 m

Explanation:

k = spring constant of the spring = 125 N/m

m = mass of the block attached to the spring = 650 g = 0.650 kg

x = maximum extension of the spring

h = height dropped by the block = x

Using conservation of energy

Spring potential energy gained = Gravitational potential energy lost

(0.5) k x² = mgh

(0.5) k x² = mgx

(0.5) (125) x = (0.650) (9.8)

x = 0.102 m

The electrons in the beam of a television tube have a kinetic energy of 2.20 10-15 j. initially, the electrons move horizontally

dalvyx [7]

(a) The electrons move horizontally from west to east, while the magnetic field is directed downward, toward the surface. We can determine the direction of the force on the electron by using the right-hand rule:
- index finger: velocity --> due east
- middle finger: magnetic field --> downward
- thumb: force --> due north
However, we have to take into account that the electron has negative charge, therefore we have to take the opposite direction: so, the magnetic force is directed southwards, and the electrons are deflected due south.

b) From the kinetic energy of the electrons, we can find their velocity by using
$K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2$
where K is the kinetic energy, m the electron mass and v their velocity. Re-arranging the formula, we find
$v= \sqrt{ \frac{2K}{m} }= \sqrt{ \frac{2 \cdot 2.20 \cdot 10^{-15} J}{9.1 \cdot 10^{-31} kg} }=6.95 \cdot 10^7 m/s$

The Lorentz force due to the magnetic field provides the centripetal force that deflects the electrons:
$qvB = m \frac{v^2}{r}$
where
q is the electron charge
v is the speed
B is the magnetic field strength
m is the electron mass
r is the radius of the trajectory
By re-arranging the equation, we find the radius r:
$r= \frac{mv}{qB}= \frac{(9.1 \cdot 10^{-31} kg)(6.95 \cdot 10^7 m/s)}{(1.6 \cdot 10^{-19} C)(3.00 \cdot 10^{-5} T)}=13.18 m$

And finally we can calculate the centripetal acceleration, given by:
$a_c = \frac{v^2}{r}= \frac{(6.95 \cdot 10^7 m/s)^2}{13.18 m}=3.66 \cdot 10^{14} m/s^2$
