The formula for kinetic energy is:

KE = 0.5mv^2

where:
m = mass
v = speed

Given this formula, the original KE of the scooter is calculated as 392 J. Since the speed is doubled, it can be observed in the formula that the change would actually affect the kinetic energy by quadrupling it. This is because 2^2 is 4. So, 392(4) = 1568 J or B.

A proton is confined in an infinite square well of width 10 fm. (The nuclear potential that binds protons and neutrons in the nu

kvasek [131]

Answer:

First Question

$E = 1.065*10^{-12} \ J$

Second Question

The wavelength is for an X-ray

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The width of the wall is $w = 10\ fm = 10*10^{-15 }\ m$

The first excited state is $n_1 = 2$

The ground state is $n_0 = 1$

Gnerally the energy (in MeV) of the photon emitted when the proton undergoes a transition is mathematically represented as

$E = \frac{h^2 }{ 8 * m * l^2 [ n_1^2 - n_0 ^2 ] }$

Here h is the Planck's constant with value $h = 6.62607015 * 10^{-34} J \cdot s$

m is the mass of proton with value $m = 1.67 * 10^{-27} \ kg$

So

$E = \frac{( 6.626*10^{-34})^2 }{ 8 * (1.67 *10^{-27}) * (10 *10^{-15})^2 [ 2^2 - 1 ^2 ] }$

=> $E = 1.065*10^{-12} \ J$

Generally the energy of the photon emitted is also mathematically represented as

$E = \frac{h * c }{ \lambda }$

=> $\lambda = \frac{h * c }{E }$

=> $\lambda = \frac{6.62607015 * 10^{-34} * 3.0 *10^{8} }{ 1.065 *10^{-15 } }$

=> $\lambda = 1.87*10^{-10} \ m$

Generally the range of wavelength of X-ray is $10^{-8} \to 1)^{-12}$

So this wavelength is for an X-ray.

A toy rocket engine is securely fastened to a large puck that can glide with negligible friction over a horizontal surface, take

Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

$F=(3i+3.6j)\ N$

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the puck, m = 4.8 kg

Initial velocity of the puck, $u=(1i+0j)\ m/s$

After 8 seconds, final velocity of the puck, $v=(6i+6j)\ m/s$

Let the x and y component of force is given by $F_x\ and\ F_y$ .

x component of force is given by :

$F_x=m\times \dfrac{v-u}{t}$

$F_x=4.8\times \dfrac{6-1}{8}$

$F_x=3\ N$

y component of force is given by :

$F_y=m\times \dfrac{v-u}{t}$

$F_y=4.8\times \dfrac{6-0}{8}$

$F_y=3.6\ N$

So, the component of the force is $F=(3i+3.6j)\ N$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

A box with a mass of 100.0 kg slides down a ramp with a 50 degree angle. What is the weight of the box? N What is the value of t

nadya68 [22]

1) weight of the box: 980 N

The weight of the box is given by:

$W=mg$

where m=100.0 kg is the mass of the box, and $g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration due to gravity. Substituting in the formula, we find

$W=(100.0 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)=980 N$

2) Normal force: 630 N

The magnitude of the normal force is equal to the component of the weight which is perpendicular to the ramp, which is given by

$N=W cos \theta$

where W is the weight of the box, calculated in the previous step, and $\theta=50^{\circ}$ is the angle of the ramp. Substituting, we find

$N=(980 N)(cos 50^{\circ})=630 N$

3) Acceleration: $7.5 m/s^2$

The acceleration of the box along the ramp is equal to the component of the acceleration of gravity parallel to the ramp, which is given by

$a_p = g sin \theta$

Substituting, we find

$W_p = (9.8 m/s^2)(sin 50^{\circ})=7.5 m/s^2$

You are piloting a helicopter which is rising vertically at a uniform velocity of 14.70 m/s. When you reach 196.00 m, you see Ba

Cloud [144]

Answer:

The ball reaches Barney head in $t = 8 \ s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The rise velocity is $v = 14.70 \ m/s$

The height considered is $h = 196 \ m$

The horizontal velocity of the large object is $v_h = 8.50 \ m/s$

Generally from kinematic equation

$s = ut + \frac{1}{2} gt^2$

Here s is the distance of the object from Barney head ,

u is the velocity of the object along the vertical axis which is equal but opposite to the velocity of the helicopter

So

$u = -14.7 m/s$

So

$196 = -14.7 t + \frac{1}{2} * 9.8 * t^2$

= $4.9 t^2 - 14.7t - 196 = 0$

Solving the above equation using quadratic formula

The value of t obtained is $t = 8 \ s$

Weddell seals make holes in sea ice so that they can swim down to forage on the ocean floor below. Measurements for one seal sho

Mariulka [41]

Answer:

B. 1 m/s

Explanation:

Metric unit conversions:

0.3 km = 300m

5 minutes = 5*60 = 300 seconds

So if a seal can reach a depth of 300m in a time of 300 seconds, its diving speed is the distance divided by time duration

v = s/t = 300/300 = 1m/s

So B is the correct answer
