The alteration in potential energy is $\Delta PE = - 3.8*10^{-16} \ J$

In the query, it is stated that

The intensity of the uniform electric field equals $E = 950 \ N/C$

The distance the electron covers is $x = 2.50 \ m$

Typically, the force exerted on this electron is expressed mathematically as

$F = qE$

Where F signifies the force and q represents the charge of the electron, which is a fixed value of $q = 1.60*10^{-19} \ C$

Thus

$F = 950 * 1.60 **10^{-19}$

$F = 1.52 *10^{-16} \ N$

Generally, the work-energy theorem is mathematically framed as

$W = \Delta KE$

Where W denotes the work done on the electron by the electric field and $\Delta KE$ is the change in kinetic energy

Additionally, work done on the electron can also be described as

$W = F* x *cos( \theta )$

Where $\theta = 0 ^o$ assuming that the electron's movement aligns with the x-axis

So

$\Delta KE = F * x cos (0)$

Inserting values

$\Delta KE = 1.52 *10^{-16} * 2.50 cos (0)$

$\Delta KE = 3.8*10^{-16} J$

According to the conservation of energy

$\Delta PE = - \Delta KE$

Where $\Delta PE$ signifies the change in potential energy

Thus

$\Delta PE = - 3.8*10^{-16} \ J$

A communications satellite orbiting the earth has solar panels that completely absorb all sunlight incident upon them. The total

Ostrovityanka [2214]

Answer:

0.000047N

Explanation:

We know that

intensity (I) = P/ A

Where

P= power

A= Area

Thus, the power absorbed can be calculated as:

Power = Intensity x Area

This equals = 1.4 x 10^3 x(10)

Thus,

14000 Watts = 14 kWatt

However, the radiation pressure can be defined as

time-averaged intensity divided by the speed of light in a vacuum

So,

P = (1.4 x 1000)/c

Also,

F= P x A

Thus,

((1.4 x 1000)/(3 x10^8)) x 10

This results in

=0.000046666N

Rounded to two significant figures gives us

=0.000047 N

d. The force is doubled and the object’s mass is halved? 18. ||| A man pulling an empty wagon causes it to accelerate at 1.4 m/s

Yuliya22 [2446]

Assuming that the mass of the empty wagon is "M," according to Newton's second law, we can derive the following relationships. Given that the empty wagon accelerates at 1.4 m/s², we proceed with this information. If a child weighing three times the mass of the wagon is on it, we can establish the relevant equations.

A solid metal sphere of diameter D is spinning in a gravity-free region of space with an angular velocity of ωi. The sphere is s

ValentinkaMS [2433]

Answer:

0.6

Explanation:

The formula for the volume of a sphere is $\frac{4}{3} \pi (\frac{D}{2})^3$

Thus $\pi * r^2 * (\frac{D}{2} ) = \frac{4}{3} \pi (\frac{D}{2})^3$

The radius of the disk is $1.15(\frac{ D}{2} )$

Applying angular momentum conservation;

The $M_i$ of the sphere = $\frac{2}{5} m \frac{D}{2}^2$

$M_i$ of the disk = $m*\frac{ \frac{1.15*D}{2}^2 }{2}$

$\frac{wd}{ws} = \frac{\frac{2}{5}m * \frac{D}{2}^2}{ m * \frac{(\frac{`.`5*D}{2})^2 }{2} }$

= 0.6

Two astronauts, A and B, both with mass of 60Kg, are moving along a straight line in the same direction in a weightless spaceshi

Keith_Richards [2268]

The answer is:

$V=14m/s$

Details are as follows:

According to the problem, we have

The combined mass of A and B is 60kg

A's speed is 2m/s

B's speed is 1m/s

The mass of the bag is 5kg

Typically, the momentum of astronaut A along with the bag is defined by

$M_A=(60+5)*2$

$M_A=130kgm/s$

To prevent a collision, astronaut A should maintain a speed that is either equal to or less than astronaut B's speed

Thus, the minimum speed astronaut A should achieve corresponds to that of astronaut B, which is 1

Consequently,

$130=(60*1)=(5*v)$

$V=14m/s$

You throw a baseball at an angle of 30.0∘∘ above the horizontal. It reaches the highest point of its trajectory 1.05 ss later. A

kicyunya [2264]

Answer:

The initial speed at which the baseball is thrown is 20.58 m/s

Explanation:

To determine the time taken to reach the peak height in projectile motion, the formula is:

t = (u sin θ)/g

Where u = initial speed of the baseball =?

θ = angle of launch above the horizontal

g = gravitational acceleration = 9.8 m/s²

1.05 = (u sin 30)/9.8

u can be calculated as (1.05 × 9.8)/0.5

u = 20.58 m/s
