Answer:

Explanation:

Let electric potential at A ,B and C be Va , Vb and Vc respectively.

Work done = charge x potential difference

Wab = q ( Va - Vb )

Wac =  q (  Va -  Vc )

Given

Wac = - Wab / 3

3Wac = - Wab

Now

Wbc = q ( Vb - Vc )

= q [ ( Va-Vc ) - ( Va - Vb )]  

= Wac - Wab

= Wac + 3Wac

= 4Wac

Answer:

(a) Rm = 268.4 m

(b) f = 6

Explanation:

The horizontal range of a projectile is given by the following formula:

R = V₀² Sin 2θ/g

(a)

For moon:

R = Range on moon = Rm

V₀ = Launch Speed = 28 m/s

θ = Launch Angle = 17°

g = acceleration due to gravity on moon = (9.8 m/s²)/6 = 1.63 m/s²

Therefore,

Rm = (28 m/s)²Sin (2*17°)/(1.63 m/s²)

<u>Rm = 268.4 m</u>

(b)

For Earth:

R = Range on Earth = Re

V₀ = Launch Speed = 28 m/s

θ = Launch Angle = 17°

g = acceleration due to gravity on Earth = 9.8 m/s²

Therefore,

Re = (28 m/s)²Sin (2*17°)/(9.8 m/s²)

Re = 44.7 m

Therefore.

f = Rm/Re = 268.4 m/44.7 m

<u>f = 6</u>

A biophysics experiment uses a very sensitive magnetic field probe to determine the current associated with a nerve impulse trav
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

The peak current carried by the axon is 5.85 x 10⁻⁸ A

Explanation:

Given;

distance of the field from the axon, r = 1.3 mm

peak magnetic field strength, B = 9 x 10⁻¹² T

To determine the peak current carried by the axon, apply the following equation;

B = \frac{\mu I}{2\pi r}

where;

B is the peak magnetic field

r is the distance of the magnetic field from axon

μ is permeability of free space = 4π x 10⁻⁷

I is the peak current

Re-arrange the equation and solve for "I"

B = \frac{\mu I}{2\pi r} \\\\I = \frac{B*2\pi r}{\mu} \\\\I = \frac{9*10^{-12}*2*\pi *1.3*10^{-3}}{4\pi *10^{-7}} \\\\I = 5.85 *10^{-8} \ A

Therefore, the peak current carried by the axon is 5.85 x 10⁻⁸ A

A 3.00-kg model airplane has velocity components of 5.00 m/s due east and 8.00 m/s due north. What is the plane’s kinetic energy
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

Kinetic energy, E = 133.38 Joules

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the model airplane, m = 3 kg

Velocity component, v₁ = 5 m/s (due east)

Velocity component, v₂ = 8 m/s (due north)

Let v is the resultant of velocity. It is given by :

v=\sqrt{v_1^2+v_2^2}

v=\sqrt{5^2+8^2}=9.43\ m/s

Let E is the kinetic energy of the plane. It is given by :

E=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

E=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 3\ kg\times (9.43\ m/s)^2

E = 133.38 Joules

So, the kinetic energy of the plane is 133.38 Joules. Hence, this is the required solution.
