Answer:

The amount of charge the space shuttle collects is -1.224nC

Explanation:

The magnitude of Electric potential is given as;

V = kq/r

where;

V is the electric potential in volts

k is coulomb's constant

r is the radius of the sphere or distance moved by the charge

given;  V = -1.1 V, k = 8.99 x 10⁹ Nm²/C², r = 10m

Substituting this values in the above equation, we estimate the amount of charge space shuttle collects.

q = (V*r)/k

q = (-1.1 *10)/(8.99 x 10⁹ )

q = -1.224 X 10⁻⁹ C

q = -1.224nC

Therefore, the amount of charge the space shuttle collects is -1.224nC

A seasoned mini golfer is trying to make par on a tricky number five hole. The golfer can complete the hole by hitting the ball
liberstina [14]

Answer:5.17 m/s

Explanation:

Given

let u be the speed at cliff initial point

range over cliff is 1.45 m

and range of projectile is given by

R=\frac{u^2\sin 2\theta }{g}

1.45=\frac{u^2\sin 90}{9.8}

u=3.77 m/s

Conserving Energy

E_{bottom}=E_{initial\ point\ at\ cliff}

Kinetic energy=Kinetic energy +Potential energy gained

Let v be the initial velocity

\frac{mv^2}{2}=mgh+\frac{mu^2}{2}

v^2=u^2+2gh

v=\sqrt{u^2+2gh}

v=\sqrt{3.77^2+2\time 9.8\times 0.64}

v=\sqrt{26.75}=5.17 m/s

Pions have a half-life of 1.8 x 10^-8 s. A pion beam leaves an accelerator at a speed of 0.8c. What is the expected distance ove
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

the expected distance is 4.32 m

Explanation:

given data

half life time = 1.8 × 10^{-8} s

speed = 0.8 c = 0.8 × 3 × 10^{8}

to find out

expected distance over

solution

we know c is speed of light in air is 3 × 10^{8} m/s

we calculate expected distance by given formula that is

expected distance = half life time × speed   .........1

put here all these value

expected distance = half life time × speed

expected distance = 1.8 × 10^{-8} ×  0.8 × 3 × 10^{8}

expected distance = 4.32

so the expected distance is 4.32 m

1. What is the momentum of a golf ball with a mass of 62 g moving at 73 m/s?
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 4.53 kgm/s</h3>

Explanation:

The momentum of an object can be found by using the formula

<h3>momentum = mass × velocity</h3>

From the question

mass = 62 g = 0.062 kg

velocity = 73 m/s

We have

momentum = 0.062 × 73 = 4.526

We have the final answer as

<h3>4.53 kgm/s</h3>

Hope this helps you

Force X has a magnitude of 1260 ​pounds, and Force Y has a magnitude of 1530 pounds. They act on a single point at an angle of 4
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

Fe= 2579.68 P

α= 24.8°

Explanation:

Look at the attached graphic

we take the forces acting on the x-y plane and applied at the origin of coordinates

FX = 1260 P , horizontal (-x)

FY = 1530  P , forming 45° with positive x axis

x-y components FY

FYx= - 1530*cos(45)° = - 1081.87 P

FYy= -  1530*sin(45)° = - 1081.87 P

Calculation of the components of net force (Fn)

Fnx= FX + FYx

Fnx= -1260 P -1081.87 P

Fnx= -2341.87 P

Fny=FYy

Fny= -1081.87 P

Calculation of the components of equilibrant force (Fe)

the x-y components of the  equilibrant force are equal in magnitude but in the opposite direction to the net force components:

Fnx= -2341.87 P, then, Fex= +2341.87 P

Fny=  -1081.87 P P, then, Fex= +1081.87 P

Magnitude of the equilibrant (Fe)

F_{n} = \sqrt{(F_{nx})^{2} +(F_{ny})^{2}  }

F_{e} =\sqrt{(2341.87)^{2}+(1081.87)^{2}  }

Fe= 2579.68 P

Calculation of the direction of  equilibrant force (α)

\alpha =tan^{-1} (\frac{F_{ny} }{F_{nx} } )

\alpha =tan^{-1} (\frac{1081.87 }{2341.87} )

α= 24.8°

Look at the attached graphic
