Weight expressed in Newtons is expressed in the equation whereby Weight= the mass of an object * the force of gravity. The force of gravity on earth is a constant 9.8 meters per second squared. Therefore if weight (w) = 63 N and the force of gravity is 63 N then the mass must equal 6.43 kg. Because the equation for weight is w=mg so 63 N (w) = m * 9.8 m/s^2.
The electrical potential energy of a charge q located at a point at potential V is given by
Therefore, if the charge must move between two points at potential V1 and V2, the difference in potential energy of the charge will be
In our problem, the electron (charge e) must travel across a potential difference V. So the energy it will lose traveling from the metal to the detector will be equal to
Therefore, if we want the electron to reach the detector, the minimum energy the electron must have is exactly equal to the energy it loses moving from the metal to the detector:
<span>The overall force that is acting on the bottle is gravity. With the incline being 30 degrees the full force of gravity isn't acting on the bottle becuase the ramp isn't allowing the bottle to go straight down. By taking the sin of 30 degrees you find the proportion of gravity that is acting on the bottle to be 4.9 meters per second and the bottle weights 20 kg so the force acting on the bottle is 98 Newtons.</span>
Answer:
The minutes hand travels 39.60 cm.
Explanation:
Note: a clock has a shape of a circle, the minutes hand is the radius, and the travel of the minutes hand forms a arc.
Length of an arc = ∅/360(2πr)
L = ∅/360(2πr).................... Equation 1π
Where L = length of an arc, ∅ = angle formed by an arc, r = radius of the arc.
Given: ∅ = 252°, r = 9 cm, π = 3.143.
Substituting these values into equation 1,
L = 252/360(2×3.143×9)
L = 0.7×2×3.143×9
L = 39.60 cm.
Thus the minutes hand travels 39.60 cm.
A falling skydiver opens his parachute. A short time later, the weight of the skydiver-parachute system and the drag force exerted on the system are equal in magnitude. The following statements predicts the motion of the skydiver at this time
<u>The skydiver is moving downward with constant speed.</u>
Explanation:
Immediately on leaving the aircraft, the skydiver accelerates downwards due to the force of gravity. There is no air resistance acting in the upwards direction, and there is a resultant force acting downwards. The skydiver accelerates towards the ground.
The forces acting on a falling leaf are : gravity and air resistance.
The net force and the acceleration on the falling skydiver is upward.
An upward net force on a downward falling object would cause that object to slow down. The skydiver thus slows down.
As the speed decreases, the amount of air resistance also decreases until once more the skydiver reaches a terminal velocity.
<u>A skydiver falling at a constant speed opens his parachute. When the skydiver is falling, the forces are unbalanced.</u>
