Answer:

The acceleration of the cheetahs is 10.1 m/s²

Explanation:

Hi there!

The equation of velocity of an object moving along a straight line with constant acceleration is the following:

v = v0 + a · t

Where:

v = velocity of the object at time t.

v0 = initial velocity.

a = acceleration.

t = time

We know that at t = 2.22 s, v = 50.0 mi/h. The initial velocity, v0, is zero.

Let's convert mi/h into m/s:

50.0 mi/h · (1609.3 m / 1 mi) · (1 h / 3600 s) = 22.4 m/s

Then, using the equation:

v = v0 + a · t

22.4 m/s = 0 m/s + a · 2.22 s

Solving for a:

22.4 m/s / 2.22 s = a

a = 10.1 m/s²

The acceleration of the cheetahs is 10.1 m/s²

SashulF [63]

Answer:

The magnetic field along x axis is

$B_{x}=1.670\times10^{-10}\ T$

The magnetic field along y axis is zero.

The magnetic field along z axis is

$B_{z}=3.484\times10^{-10}\ T$

Explanation:

Given that,

Length of the current element $dl=(0.5\times10^{-3})j$

Current in y direction = 5.40 A

Point P located at $\vec{r}=(-0.730)i+(0.390)k$

The distance is

$|\vec{r}|=\sqrt{(0.730)^2+(0.390)^2}$

$|\vec{r}|=0.827\ m$

We need to calculate the magnetic field

Using Biot-savart law

$B=\dfrac{\mu_{0}}{4\pi}\timesI\times\dfrac{\vec{dl}\times\vec{r}}{|\vec{r}|^3}$

Put the value into the formula

$B=10^{-7}\times5.40\times\dfrac{(0.5\times10^{-3})\times(-0.730)i+(0.390)k}{(0.827)^3}$

We need to calculate the value of $\vec{dl}\times\vec{r}$

$\vec{dl}\times\vec{r}=(0.5\times10^{-3})\times(-0.730)i+(0.390)k$

$\vec{dl}\times\vec{r}=i(0.350\times0.5\times10^{-3}-0)+k(0+0.730\times0.5\times10^{-3})$

$\vec{dl}\times\vec{r}=0.000175i+0.000365k$

Put the value into the formula of magnetic field

$B=10^{-7}\times5.40\times\dfrac{(0.000175i+0.000365k)}{(0.827)^3}$

$B=1.670\times10^{-10}i+3.484\times10^{-10}k$

Hence, The magnetic field along x axis is

$B_{x}=1.670\times10^{-10}\ T$

The magnetic field along y axis is zero.

The magnetic field along z axis is

$B_{z}=3.484\times10^{-10}\ T$

X-rays with an energy of 300 keV undergo Compton scattering from a target. If the scattered rays are detected at 30 relative to

lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

a) $\Delta \lambda = \lambda' -\lambda_o = \frac{h}{m_e c} (1-cos \theta)$

For this case we know the following values:

$h = 6.63 x10^{-34} Js$

$m_e = 9.109 x10^{-31} kg$

$c = 3x10^8 m/s$

$\theta = 37$

So then if we replace we got:

$\Delta \lambda = \frac{6.63x10^{-34} Js}{9.109 x10^{-31} kg *3x10^8 m/s} (1-cos 37) = 4.885x10^{-13} m * \frac{1m}{1x10^{-15} m}= 488.54 fm$

b) $\lambda_0 = \frac{hc}{E_0}$

With $E_0 = 300 k eV= 300000 eV$

And replacing we have:

$\lambda_0 = \frac{1240 x10^{-9} eV m}{300000eV}=4.13 x10^{-12}m = 4.12 pm$

And then the scattered wavelength is given by:

$\lambda ' = \lambda_0 + \Delta \lambda = 4.13 + 0.489 pm = 4.619 pm$

And the energy of the scattered photon is given by:

$E' = \frac{hc}{\lambda'}= \frac{1240x10^{-9} eVm}{4.619x10^{-12} m}=268456.37 eV - 268.46 keV$

c) $E_f = E_0 -E' = 300 -268.456 kev = 31.544 keV$

Explanation

Part a

For this case we can use the Compton shift equation given by:

$\Delta \lambda = \lambda' -\lambda_0 = \frac{h}{m_e c} (1-cos \theta)$

For this case we know the following values:

$h = 6.63 x10^{-34} Js$

$m_e = 9.109 x10^{-31} kg$

$c = 3x10^8 m/s$

$\theta = 37$

So then if we replace we got:

$\Delta \lambda = \frac{6.63x10^{-34} Js}{9.109 x10^{-31} kg *3x10^8 m/s} (1-cos 37) = 4.885x10^{-13} m * \frac{1m}{1x10^{-15} m}= 488.54 fm$

Part b

For this cas we can calculate the wavelength of the phton with this formula:

$\lambda_0 = \frac{hc}{E_0}$

With $E_0 = 300 k eV= 300000 eV$

And replacing we have:

$\lambda_0 = \frac{1240 x10^{-9} eV m}{300000eV}=4.13 x10^{-12}m = 4.12 pm$

And then the scattered wavelength is given by:

$\lambda ' = \lambda_0 + \Delta \lambda = 4.13 + 0.489 pm = 4.619 pm$

And the energy of the scattered photon is given by:

$E' = \frac{hc}{\lambda'}= \frac{1240x10^{-9} eVm}{4.619x10^{-12} m}=268456.37 eV - 268.46 keV$

Part c

For this case we know that all the neergy lost by the photon neds to go into the recoiling electron so then we have this:

$E_f = E_0 -E' = 300 -268.456 kev = 31.544 keV$

Enrico says that positive charge is created when you rub a glass rod with silk, and that negative charge is simply the absence o

lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:5 Neither: both negative and positive charge are present simultaneously in all solid materials on Earth

Explanation:

When we rub a glass rod with silk cloth then some of the electrons from glass rods are stripped away to the silk cloth. These electrons are loosely bound to the silk rod that is why they easily transferred to silk cloth.

There is no net charge because the charge is induced when we rub the cloth and charge are separated therefore we able to notice these charges.

Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

e. Not enough information to determine

Explanation:

This question is incomplete. Here is the complete question with my solution afterwards;

A ladybug sits at the outer edge of a turntable, and a gentleman bug sits halfway between her and the axis of rotation. The turntable (initially at rest) begins to rotate with its rate of rotation constantly increasing.

What is the first event that will occur?(Assume non-zero frictional force and the same coefficients of friction for both bugs.)

a. The ladybug begins to slide

b. The gentleman bug begins to slide

c. Both bugs begin to slide at the same time

d. Nothing ever happens

e. Not enough information to determine

The centripetal force acting on a rotating body or bugs can be written as,

$F=mrw^2$

$m=$ mass of the corresponding bugs

$r=$ corresponding radial distance of each bug

$w=$ angular speed of the turntable

The centripetal force tries to slide the bugs in an outward direction and it is directly proportional to the products of its mass and radial distance from the axis of rotation of the turntable

$F$ ∝ $mr$

Since the radial distance from the axis of rotation of the turntable for each bug is given, but the mass is not given, the given information is therefore not enough to determine which bugs will slide first.

Option "e" is correct.
