Answer:

3×10^7 m/s or 0.10c (e)

Explanation: If the actual value of the speed of light were to be put into consideration.

Given that the speed of light is c = 3.0×10^8m/s

The alien spaceship is approaching at the rate of 10% of the speed of light.

10% of 3.0×10^8m/s

10/100 × 3.0×10^8m/s

0.1 ×3.0×10^8m/s

3×10^7 m/s. Which is the same thing as 0.1 of c = 0.1×c

TEA [102]
Centripetal force <span>a force that acts on a body moving in a circular path and is directed toward the center around which the body is moving. It is calculated by the expression:

F = mv^2/r

where m is the mass, v is the velocity and r is the radius.

F = 7.26(31.95)^2 / (1.215) = 6100 N</span>

The net force on a boat causes it to accelerate at 1.55 m/s2. The mass of the boat is 215 kg. The same net force causes another
jekas [21]

Answer:

2666 kg

0.11567 m/s²

Explanation:

m = Mass of boat

a = Acceleration of boat

From Newton's second law

Force

F=ma\\\Rightarrow F=215\times 1.55\\\Rightarrow F=333.25\ N

Force on the first boat is 333.25 N

F=ma\\\Rightarrow m=\frac{F}{a}\\\Rightarrow m=\frac{333.25}{0.125}\\\Rightarrow m=2666\ kg

Hence, mass of the second boat is 2666 kg

Combined mass = 2666+215 = 2881 kg

F=ma\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{F}{m}\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{333.25}{2881}\\\Rightarrow a=0.11567\ m/s^2

The acceleration on the combined mass is 0.11567 m/s²

A circular loop of diameter 10 cm, carrying a current of 0.20 A, is placed inside a magnetic field B⃗ =0.30 Tk^. The normal to t
arlik [135]

Answer:

The magnitude of the torque on the loop due to the magnetic field is 4.7\times10^{-4}\ N-m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Diameter = 10 cm

Current = 0.20 A

Magnetic field = 0.30 T

Unit vectorn=-0.60\hat{i}-0.080\hat{j}

We need to calculate the torque on the loop

Using formula of torque

\tau=NIAB\sin\theta

Where, N = number of turns

A = area

I = current

B = magnetic field

Put the value into the formula

\tau=1\times0.20\times\pi\times(5\times10^{-2})^2\times0.30\times\sin90^{\circ}

\tau=4.7\times10^{-4}\ N-m

Hence, The magnitude of the torque on the loop due to the magnetic field is 4.7\times10^{-4}\ N-m.

A linear accelerator produces a pulsed beam of electrons. The pulse current is 0.50 A, and the pulse duration is 0.10 μs. (a) Ho
Crank

Answer:

a)N = 3.125 * 10¹¹

b) I(avg)  = 2.5 × 10⁻⁵A

c)P(avg) = 1250W

d)P = 2.5 × 10⁷W

Explanation:

Given that,

pulse current is 0.50 A

duration of pulse Δt = 0.1 × 10⁻⁶s

a) The number of particles equal to the amount of charge in a single pulse divided by the charge of a single particles

N = Δq/e

charge is given by Δq = IΔt

so,

N = IΔt / e

N = \frac{(0.5)(0.1 * 10^-^6)}{(1.6 * 10^-^1^9)} \\= 3.125 * 10^1^1

N = 3.125 * 10¹¹

b) Q = nqt

where q is the charge of 1puse

n = number of pulse

the average current is given as I(avg) = Q/t

I(avg) = nq

I(avg) = nIΔt

         = (500)(0.5)(0.1 × 10⁻⁶)

         = 2.5 × 10⁻⁵A

C)  If the electrons are accelerated to an energy of 50 MeV, the acceleration voltage must,

eV = K

V = K/e

the power is given by

P = IV

P(avg) = I(avg)K / e

P(avg) = \frac{(2.5 * 10^-^5)(50 * 10^6 . 1.6 * 10^-^1^9)}{1.6 * 10^-^1^9}

= 1250W

d) Final peak=

P= Ik/e

= = P(avg) = \frac{(0.5)(50 * 10^6 . 1.6 * 10^-^1^9)}{1.6 * 10^-^1^9}\\2.5 * 10^7W

P = 2.5 × 10⁷W

You are moving at a speed 2/3 c toward Randy when shines a light toward you. At what speed do you see the light approaching you
lord [1]

Answer:

The speed of light will be c=3x10^8m/s

Explanation:

This is the same as the speed of light because your speed does not affecttje speed of light so you will see the light approaching you at the same speed of light c
