Two electrons, each with mass mmm and charge qqq, are released from positions very far from each other. With respect to a certai

n reference frame, electron A has initial nonzero speed vvv toward electron B in the positive x direction, and electron B has initial speed 3v3v toward electron A in the negative x direction. The electrons move directly toward each other along the x axis (very hard to do with real electrons). As the electrons approach each other, they slow due to their electric repulsion. This repulsion eventually pushes them away from each other.
What is the minimum separation r_min that the electrons reach?

Consider a bird that flies at an average speed of 10.7 m/sm/s and releases energy from its body fat reserves at an average rate
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

455165.278 m

Explanation:

P = Power = 3.7 W

v = Velocity = 10.7 m/s

Amount of fat = 4 g

1 gram of fat provides about 9.40 (food) Calories

Energy given by 4 g of fat

E=4\times 9.4\times 4186\\\Rightarrow E=157393.6\ J

Time required to burn the fat

t=\dfrac{E}{P}\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{157393.6}{3.7}\\\Rightarrow t=42538.811\ s

Distance traveled by the bird

s=vt\\\Rightarrow s=10.7\times 42538.811\\\Rightarrow s=455165.2777\ m

The bird will fly 455165.278 m

A quarterback throws a football at 40km/hr to a receiver 50yd away. How much time does it take the ball to reach the receiver
Akimi4 [234]

Given:

Distance = 50 yard = 45.72 meter

Speed = 40 km/hr = 11.11 m/s

To find:

Time required by ball to reach the receiver = ?

Formula used:

speed = \frac{distance}{time}

Solution:

The speed of the ball is given by,

speed = \frac{distance}{time}

Thus,

Time = \frac{distance}{speed}

Distance = 50 yard = 45.72 meter

Speed = 40 km/hr = 11.11 m/s

Time = 4.12 second

Hence, ball reaches the receiver in 4.12 second.

Li is riding her bicycle at 8.0 m/s. She slows down to 4.0 m/s. Her change in velocity is m/s. If Li takes 2 seconds to make thi

You will have to use this formula:
v = vo + a \times t

Final Velocity (V) = 4m/s
Initial Velocity (Vo) = 8m/s
Acceleration (a) = ? m/s^2
Time (t) = 2 secs

Then:

-> 4 = 8 + a x 2
-> 4 - 8 = 2a
-> -4 = 2a
-> a = -4/2
-> a = -2 m/s^2

Ps: It's value is negative because the she was in retrograde motion.

Answer: Her acceleration is -2 m/s^2.

A 4.50-kg wheel that is 34.5 cm in diameter rotates through an angle of 13.8 rad as it slows down uniformly from 22.0 rad/s to 1
Mila [183]

Answer:

-10.9 rad/s²

Explanation:

ω² = ω₀² + 2α(θ - θ₀)

Given:

ω = 13.5 rad/s

ω₀ = 22.0 rad/s

θ - θ₀ = 13.8 rad

(13.5)² = (22.0)² + 2α (13.8)

α = -10.9 rad/s²

The famous cliff divers of Acapulco leap from a perch 35 m above the ocean. How fast are they moving when they reach the surface
Rus_ich [418]

1) 26.2 m/s

The mechanical energy of the divers at any point of their vertical motion is sum of the kinetic energy and the gravitational potential energy:

E=K+U = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 + mgh

where

m is the mass of the diver

v is the speed

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height above the water

When the diver is on the cliff, v = 0 (he is at rest), so K=0 and the initial mechanical energy is just potential energy:

E_i = mgh

where h=35 m is the height of the cliff.

When the diver hits the water above, h = 0, so U=0 and the final mechanical energy is just kinetic energy:

E_f = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

since the total mechanical energy is conserved, we have

E_i = E_f\\mgh = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

And solving the equation for v, we find the speed when they reach the surface of the water:

v=\sqrt{2gh}=\sqrt{2(9.8 m/s^2)(35 m)}=26.2 m/s

2) It is converted into thermal energy of the water

When the diver enters the water, he suddenly feels another force acting against the motion of the diver: the resistance of the water. The resistance of the water acts upward, slowing down the diver until he stops.

In this process, the speed of the diver (v) decreases, and therefore the kinetic energy of the diver decreases as well, until it becomes zero.

However, this does not mean that the conservation of energy has been violated. In fact, the kinetic energy of the diver has been converted into thermal energy of the molecules of water surrounding the diver.
