As a youngster, you drive a nail in the trunk of a young tree that is 3 meters tall. The nail is about 1.5 meters from the groun

d. Fifteen years later, you return and discover that the tree has grown to a height of 30 meters. About how many meters above the ground is the nail?

Answer:

15m

Explanation:

Hello! first to solve this problem we must find that so much that the tree grew in the 15 years this is achieved by dividing the height of the tree before and after

\frac{30m}{3m} =10 times

the tree grew 10 times its initial length in 15 years, so to find how tall the nail is, we multiply this factor by 1.5m

X=(1.5m)(10)=15m

the nail is 15 meters above ground level

A nonrelativistic electron is accelerated from rest through a potential difference. After acceleration the electron has a de Bro
aleksley [76]

Answer:

Potential difference though which the electron was accelerated is 2.67\times 10^{-6}\ uV\  .

Explanation:

Given :

De Broglie wavelength , \lambda=750\ nm.

Plank's constant , h=6.626\times 10^{-34}\ J.s \ .

Charge of electron , e=-1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C.

Mass of electron , m=9.11\times 10^{-31}\ kg.m=9.11\times 10^{-31}\ kg.

We know , according to de broglie equation :

\lambda=\dfrac{h}{mv}\\\\ v=\dfrac{h}{m\lambda}\\\\v=\dfrac{6.626\times 10^{-34}\ J.s \ }{9.11\times 10^{-31}\ kg\times 750\times 10^{-9}\ m }= 969.78\ m/s .

Now , we know potential energy applied on electron will be equal to its kinetic energy .

Therefore ,

qV=\dfrac{mv^2}{2}\\\\ V=\dfrac{mv^2}{2q}

Putting all values in above equation we get ,

V=2.67\times 10^{-6}\ uV .

Hence , this is the required solution.

A gaseous system undergoes a change in temperature and volume. What is the entropy change for a particle in this system if the f
jonny [76]

Answer:

<em>Entropy Change = 0.559 Times</em>

Explanation:

Entropy change is determined by the change in the micro-states of a system. As we know that the micro-states are the same as measure of disorderness between initial and final states, that's the the amount of change in micro-states determine how much of entropy has changed in the system.

John runs 1.0 m/s at first, and then accelerates to 1.6 m/s during
erastova [34]

Answer: 0.13m/s^2

Explanation:

Formula: a=\frac{V_2-V_1}{t}

Where;

a = acceleration

V2 = final velocity

V1 = initial velocity

t = time

If John runs 1.0 m/s first, we assume this is V1. He accelerates to 1.6 m/s; this is V2.

a=\frac{1.6m/s-1.0m/s}{4.5s}

a=\frac{0.6m/s}{4.5s}

a=0.13m/s^2

A small glider is coasting horizontally when suddenly a very heavy piece of cargo falls out of the bottom of the plane.
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

a. The plane speeds up but the cargo does not change speed.

Explanation:

Just to make it clear, the question is as follows from what I understand.

A small glider is coasting horizontally when suddenly a very heavy piece of cargo falls out of the bottom of the plane.  You can neglect air resistance.

Just after the cargo has fallen out:

a. The plane speeds up but the cargo does not change speed.

b. The cargo slows down but the plane does not change speed.

c. Neither the cargo nor the plane change speed.

d. The plane speeds up and the cargo slows down.

e. Both the cargo and the plane speed up.

And we are requested to choose the right answer under the given conditions. We know the glider has no motor, then it must be in free fall movement, then it is experiencing some force that pulls it to the from due to the gravity effect on it, and a force in general is calculated by

F=m*a, m:= mass of the object, a:= acceleration.

Here we are only considering the horizontal effect of the forces, then since the mass is reduced the acceleration must increase to compensate and maintain  the equilibrium of the forces, then the glider being lighter can travel faster due to the acceleration. On the other hand by the time the cargo left the glider there was no acceleration and the speed it had at the moment he left the plane continues, then the cargo does not change its speed, then horizontally speaking the answer would be a. The plane speeds up but the cargo does not change speed.
