Answer:

All matter contained electrons

Explanation:

The discovery and characterization of cathode ray suggested that it was a subatomic particle and cathode ray ( electron) was the first discovered. It immensely became the strong explanatory tool for chemical bond. This can be attributed to  the the ease with which electron move from one atom to the other.

Rudiy27

Answer:

a) xf = 5.1 m

b) u = 0.304

c) x = 10.3 m

Explanation:

we will use the following formula:

u = 0.1 + A*x

Si x = 12.5 m, u = 0.6

Clearing A:

A = 0.5/12.5 = 0.04 m^-1

a) we have to:

W = Ekf - Eki

where Ekf = final kinetic energy

Eki = initial kinetic energy

9.8*(0.1xf + ((0.04*xf^2)/(2))) = (4.5^2)/(2)

Clearing xf, we have:

xf = 5.1 m

b) Replacing values for u:

u = 0.1 + (0.04*5.1) = 0.304

c) Wf = Ekf - Eki

-u*m*x*g = 0 - (m*v^2)/2

Clearing x:

x = v^2/(2*u*g) = (4.5^2)/(2*0.1*9.8) = 10.3 m

A 10-kg dog is running with a speed of 5.0 m/s. what is the minimum work required to stop the dog in 2.40 s?
Tasya [4]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

<em>Work = 125 joules </em>

<h3><u>Explanation and solution</u>;</h3>
  • Work is the product of force and the distance covered. Therefore, Work = force × distance.
  • Work is measured in joules.
  • Work is also a change in energy, such that work is done when energy changes, so when kinetic energy, or potential energy changes the there is work being done.

Thus; kinetic energy = work done

Kinetic energy = 1/2mv²

                       = 1/2 × 10× 5²

                       = 5 × 25

                       = 125 joules

Hence, work done is 125 joules.

The gravitational field strength at a distance R from the center of moon is gR. The satellite is moved to a new circular orbit t
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

g'=\frac{g__R}{4}

Explanation:

Given:

  • gravitational field strength of moon at a distance R from its center, g__R
  • Distance of the satellite from the center of the moon, h=2R

<u>Now as we know that the value of gravity of any heavenly body is at height h is given as:</u>

g'=g__{R}} \times \frac{R^2}{(2R)^2}

g'=\frac{g__R}{4}

∴The gravitational field strength will become one-fourth of what it is at the surface of the moon.

For flowing water, what is the magnitude of the velocity gradient needed to produce a shear stress of 1.0 n/m2 ?
Verizon [17]
Shear stress = 1.0 N/m² (Pa)

For water, the dynamic viscosity = 10⁻³ Pa-s at 20°C.
The velocity gradient required = (Shear stress)/(Dynamic viscosity)
= (1.0 Pa)/( 10⁻³ Pa-s)
= 10³ 1/s

Answer:  10³  s⁻¹

A jet engine gets its thrust by taking in air, heating and compressing it, and
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

F=ma=20\ Kg\ 400\ m/s^2=8,000\ Nw

Explanation:

Thrust is known as a reaction force which appears when a system expels or accelerates mass in one specific direction. If we know the acceleration and the mass of the air expelled by the jet engine, we can compute the thrust .

The acceleration is calculated by using the dynamics formula

\displaystyle a=\frac{v_f-v_o}{t}

The values are  

v_f=500\ m/s,\ v_o=100\ m/s,\ t=1\ sec

\displaystyle a=\frac{500-100}{1}=400\ m/s^2

The thrust is

F=ma=20\ Kg\ 400\ m/s^2=8,000\ Nw
