A proton and an electron are held in place on the x axis. The proton is at x = -d, while the electron is at x = +d. They are rel

eased simultaneously, and the only force that affects their motions is the electrostatic force of attraction that applies to the other. Which particle reaches the origin first? Give your reasoning.

A brick is dropped (zero initial speed) from the roof of a building. The brick strikes the ground in 1.90 s. You may ignore air

Sav [3153]

Answer:

Height (h) = 17 m

Velocity (v) = 18.6 m/s

Explanation: This problem can be solved using kinematic motion equations.

Given Data

Initial velocity (u) = 0

Acceleration (a) = g

Time (t) = 1.9 seconds

First, we calculate the height.

$s=ut+0.5at^2\\h=ut+0.5at^2\\h=0*1.9+0.5*9.81*1.9^2\\h=17.707 m$

Then, we find the final velocity

$v=u+at\\v=0+9.81*1.9\\v=18.639$

The acceleration graph is a linear representation described by y=9.8, as it remains constant:

The velocity graph can be represented by y=9.8x (where y signifies velocity and x indicates time):

The displacement graph can be described as y=4.9x^2 (with x as time and y as displacement):

These graphs apply exclusively from x=0 to x=1.9, so disregard other sections of the graphs.

A person is rowing across the river with a velocity of 4.5 km/hr northward. The river is flowing eastward at 3.5 km/hr (Figure 4

Yuliya22 [3333]

Answer: Her velocity magnitude (v) relative to the shore is 5.70 km/h.

Explanation:

Let Q be the speed of the boat, and P be the speed of the river flow.

R represents the resultant velocity combining boat velocity and river current.

According to vector addition using the law of triangles:

$R=\sqrt{P^2+Q^2+2PQCos\theta}$

From the diagram:

P = 3.5 km/h, Q = 4.5 km/h

$\theta= 90^o$

$R=\sqrt{P^2+Q^2+2PQCos\theta}=\sqrt{(3.5)^2+(4.5)^2+3.5\times 4.5\times cos90^o}=5.70$

$(Cos90^o=0),(sin 90^o=1)$

$\alpha =tan^{-1}\frac{Qsin\theta}{P+Qcos\theta}=tan^{-1}\frac{4.5 sin 90^o}{3.5+4.5 cos90^o}=tan^{-1}\frac{4.5}{3.5}=52.12^o$

Therefore, her velocity magnitude relative to the shore is 5.70 km/h.

The final mass will be slightly lower due to evaporation. I learned this back in third grade, so it's surprising you're in high school and don't know this.

Sav [3153]

A left turn lane is designated for vehicles making left turns. Vehicles must completely enter this lane and wait for a clear path before proceeding with the turn. It is not permissible for a vehicle to be partially in and out of the lane, as this obstructs traffic and creates hazardous conditions.
