Answer:

V1 =8.1 m/s

Explanation:

height at highest point (h2) = 4.1 m

height at lowest point (h1) = 0.8 m

acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s^{2}

from conservation of energy, the total energy at the lowest point will be the same as the total energy at the highest point. therefore

mgh1 + 0.5mV1^{2} = mgh2 + 0.5mV2^{2}

where

  • speed at highest point = V2
  • speed at lowest point = V1
  • mass of the girl and swing = m
  • at the highest point, the  speed is minimum (V1 = 0)
  • at the lowest point the speed is maximum (V2 is the maximum speed)
  • therefore the equation becomes mgh1 + 0.5mV1^{2} = mgh2

      m(gh1 + 0.5V1^{2}) = m(gh2)

      gh1 + 0.5V1^{2} = gh2

      V1 = \sqrt{\frac{gh2 - gh1}{0.5}}

now we can substitute all required values into the equation above.

V1 = \sqrt{\frac{(9.8x4.1) - (9.8x0.8)}{0.5}}

V1 = \sqrt{\frac{32.34}{0.5}}

V1 =8.1 m/s

The average mass of an automobile in the United States is about 1.440x10^6 g express this mass in kilograms
-BARSIC- [3]
From the problem statement, this is a conversion problem. We are asked to convert from units of grams to units of kilograms. To do this, we need a conversion factor which would relate the different units involved. We either multiply or divide this certain value to the original measurement depending on what is asked. From literature, we will find that 1000 grams is equal to 1 kilogram. We use this as follows:

Two 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm electrodes are held 0.10 mm apart and are attached to 7.5 V battery. Without disconnecting the battery, a 0.
Musya8 [376]

Answer:

A) V = 7.5 V

B) E = 75,000 V/m

C) Q = 16.6 pC

D) V = 7.5 V

E) E = 24,000 V/m

F) Q = 52 pC

Explanation:

Given:

- The Area of plate A = ( 5 x 5 ) mm^2

- The distance between plates d = 0.10 mm

- The thickness of Mylar added t = 0.10 mm

- Voltage supplied by battery V = 7.5 V

Solution:

A) What is the capacitor's potential difference before the Mylar is inserted?

- The potential difference across the two plates is equal to the voltage provided by the battery V = 7.5 V which remains constant throughout.

B) What is the capacitor's electric field before the Mylar is inserted?

- The Electric Field E between the capacitor plates is given by:

                                E = V / k*d

k = 1 (air)                  E = 7.5 / 0.10*10^-3

                                E = 75,000 V/m

C) What is the capacitor's charge Q before the Mylar is inserted?

                                C = k*A*ε / d

k = 1 (air)                   C = ( 0.005^2 * 8.85*10^-12 ) / 0.0001

                                C = 2.213 pF

                                Q = C*V

                                Q = 7.5*(2.213)

                                Q = 16.6 pC

D) What is the capacitor's potential difference after the Mylar is inserted?

- The potential difference across the two plates is equal to the voltage provided by the battery V = 7.5 V which remains constant throughout.

E) What is the capacitor's electric field after the Mylar is inserted?    

- The Electric Field E between the capacitor plates is given by:

                                E = V / k*d

k = 3.13                     E = 7.5 / (3.13)0.10*10^-3

                                E = 24,000 V/m              

F) What is the capacitor's charge after the Mylar is inserted?      

                                C = k*A*ε / d

k = 3.13                    C = 3.13*( 0.005^2 * 8.85*10^-12 ) / 0.0001

                                C = 6.927 pF

                                Q = C*V

                                Q = 7.5*(6.927)

                                Q = 52 pC

Two long conducting cylindrical shells are coaxial and have radii of 20 mm and 80 mm. The electric potential of the inner conduc
xxMikexx [17]

Answer: 14.52*10^6 m/s

Explanation: In order to explain this problem we have to consider the energy conservation for the electron within the coaxial cylidrical wire.

the change in potential energy for the electron; e*ΔV is  equal to energy kinetic gained for the electron so:

e*ΔV=1/2*m*v^2  v^=(2*e*ΔV/m)^1/2= (2*1.6*10^-19*600/9.1*10^-31)^1/2=14.52 *10^6 m/s

Suppose you want to make a scale model of a hydrogen atom. You choose, for the nucleus, a small ball bearing with a radius of 1.
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

A)  x _electron = 0.66 10² m , B)   x _Eart = 1.13 10² m , C)  d_sphere = 1.37 10⁻² mm

Explanation:

A) Let's use a ball for the nucleus, the electron is at a farther distance the sphere for the electron must be at a distance of

Let's use proportions rule

                x_ electron = 0.529 10⁻¹⁰ /1.2 10⁻¹⁵ 1.5

               x _electron = 0.66 10⁵ mm = 0.66 10² m

B) the radii of the Earth and the sun are

               R_{E} = 6.37 10⁶ m

                tex]R_{Sum}[/tex] = 6.96 10⁸ m

                Distance = 1.5 10¹¹ m

                x_Earth = 1.5 10¹¹ / 6.96 10⁸  1.5

                x _Eart = 1.13 10² m

C) The radius of a sphere that represents the earth, if the sphere that represents the sun is 1.5 mm, let's use another rule of proportions

            d_sphere = 1.5 / 6.96 10⁸  6.37 10⁶

            d_sphere = 1.37 10⁻² mm
