Why does lifting one end of the track lead to constant acceleration?

Physics
1 answer:
ValentinkaMS [3.3K]5 days ago

 We installed a motion detector at one end of the track and placed a cart on it. We then attached a motorized fan to the cart, allowing it to propel the cart down the track. This aligns with my expectations based on the velocity graph, where the slope represents acceleration, which remains consistent over time.

Two charges of magnitude 5nC and -2nC are placed at points (2cm,0,0) and
ValentinkaMS [3372]

Answer:

20 cm

Explanation:

The electric potential energy U is calculated with the formula U = kq₁q₂/r, where q₁ = 5 nC (5 × 10⁻⁹ C) and q₂ = -2 nC (-2 × 10⁻⁹ C) and r is determined as √(x - 2)² + (0 - 0)² + (0 - 0)² = x - 2. This leads to U = -0.5 µJ (-0.5 × 10⁻⁶ J), where k = 9 × 10⁹ Nm²/C².

Thus, solving for r gives us r = kq₁q₂/U

which leads to x - 2 = kq₁q₂/U

Then, rearranging gives x = 0.02 + kq₁q₂/U m

So, x = 0.02 + 9 × 10⁹ Nm²/C² × 5 × 10⁻⁹ C × -2 × 10⁻⁹ C/-0.5 × 10⁻⁶ J

Resulting in x = 0.02 - 90 × 10⁻⁹ Nm²/-0.5 × 10⁻⁶ J

This simplifies to x = 0.02 + 0.18 = 0.2 m, or 20 cm

A 0.2-kg steel ball is dropped straight down onto a hard, horizontal floor and bounces straight up. The ball's speed just before
Ostrovityanka [3082]

Answer:

Explanation:

Provided:

mass of the steel ball m=0.2\ kg

initial velocity of the ball u=10\ m/s

Final velocity of the ball v=-10\ m/s (moving upwards)

The impulse given is determined by the change in the momentum of the object.

<ptherefore the="" impulse="" j="" is="" defined="" by="">

J=\Delta P

\Delta P=m(v-u)

\Delta P=0.2(-10-10)

\Delta =-4\ N-s

Thus, the magnitude of the Impulse is 4 N-s.

</ptherefore>

Why didn't the astronauts land on the moon 3.17 answers punchline?
kicyunya [3171]

Answer:

Responses to the 3.17 punchline varied among many individuals, with some suggesting that it was a "full" moon day which prevented the astronauts from landing.

Others claimed that the astronauts took off during daylight hours when the moon was not visible. There were also comments that indicated that 'astro' refers to stars rather than satellites, explaining why they did not land.

A few even noted that 'astro naut' sounds like 'naught,' meaning zero (0), as a possible reason for their failure to land.

When a vertical beam of light passes through a transparent medium, the rate at which its intensity I decreases is proportional t
Keith_Richards [3153]

Response:

The intensity of light 18 feet underwater is about 0.02%

Clarification:

Employing Lambert's law

Let dI / dt = kI, where k is a proportionality factor, I represents the intensity of incident light, and t indicates the thickness of the medium

Then dI / I = kdt

Taking logarithms,

ln(I) = kt + ln C

I = Ce^kt

At t=0, I=I(0) implies C=I(0)

I = I(0)e^kt

At t=3 & I=0.25I(0), we find 0.25=e^3k

Solving for k gives k = ln(0.25)/3

k = -1.386/3

k = -0.4621

I = I(0)e^(-0.4621t)

I(18) = I(0)e^(-0.4621*18)

I(18) = 0.00024413I(0)

The intensity of light 18 feet underwater is about 0.2%
