Set the initial location of kitten A on the left side of the field (designated as point A) at the origin, running east which is the positive direction. Kitten B starts at position {x_B}_0=250\,\mathrm m, while kitten A’s beginning spot is {x_A}_0=0\,\mathrm m.

Kitten A moves with a velocity of v_A=25\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}, and kitten B with v_B=-12\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}. Their positions over time are described by

x_A=\left(25\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}\right)t

x_B=250\,\mathrm m+\left(-12\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}\right)t

The collision occurs when the positions are the same, i.e. when x_A=x_B. Solving this gives

\left(25\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}\right)t=250\,\mathrm m+\left(-12\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}\right)t

\implies\left(37\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}\right)t=250\,\mathrm m

\implies t=\dfrac{250\,\mathrm m}{37\,\frac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}}=6.76\,\mathrm s

Which results in approximately 6.8 seconds, considering significant figures.

Two electrodes, separated by a distance d, in a vacuum are maintained at a constant potential difference. An electron, accelerat
Yuliya22 [3333]

Answer:

Explanation:

The distance between the electrodes is denoted as d.

The kinetic energy of the electron is represented as Ek when the electrodes are positioned at a distance of "d" apart.

Our goal is to determine the kinetic energy when they are separated by a distance of d/3.

K.E = ½mv²

It’s important to note that the mass remains constant; only velocity varies.

Additionally,

K.E = Work done by the electron

K.E = F × d

K.E = W = ma × d

Assuming constant acceleration

Hence, m and a are fixed,

therefore,

K.E is directly related to d

Thus, as d increases, K.E increases, and conversely, when d decreases, K.E decreases.

Consequently,

K.E_1 / d_1 = K.E_2 / d_2

With K.E_1 equating to E_k

and d_1 being d

while d_2 is represented as d/3

This leads to K.E_2 = K.E_1 / d_1 × d_2

Thus, K.E_2 = E_k × ⅓d / d

Finally,

K.E_2 = ⅓E_k

Therefore, the resultant kinetic energy is one third of the original E_k

A 9.0-V battery moves 20 mC of charge through a circuit running from its positive terminal to its negative terminal. How much en
Yuliya22 [3333]

Answer:

The energy delivered is E = 0.18 J

Explanation:

Given,

Battery voltage, V = 9 V

Charge in the circuit, Q = 20 mC

                                        = 20 x 10³ C

Energy supplied in the circuit can be computed as

E = Q V

E = 20 x 10⁻³ x 9

E =  180 x 10⁻³

E equals 0.18 J.

The energy delivered in the circuit is therefore E = 0.18 J

A merry-go-round with a a radius of R = 1.63 m and moment of inertia I = 196 kg-m2 is spinning with an initial angular speed of
serg [3582]

Answer:

1) L = 299.88 kg-m²/s

2) L = 613.2 kg-m²/s

3) L = 499.758 kg-m²/s

4) ω₁ = 0.769 rad/s

5) Fc = 70.3686 N

6) v = 1.2535 m/s

7) ω₀ = 1.53 rad/s

Explanation:

Given

R = 1.63 m

I₀ = 196 kg-m²

ω₀ = 1.53 rad/s

m = 73 kg

v = 4.2 m/s

1) What is the magnitude of the initial angular momentum of the merry-go-round?

We utilize the formula

L = I₀*ω₀ = 196 kg-m²*1.53 rad/s = 299.88 kg-m²/s

2) What is the angular momentum magnitude of the person 2 meters prior to jumping onto the merry-go-round?

The equation we apply is

L = m*v*Rp = 73 kg*4.2 m/s*2.00 m = 613.2 kg-m²/s

3) What is the angular momentum of the person just before she hops onto the merry-go-round?

We utilize the formula

L = m*v*R = 73 kg*4.2 m/s*1.63 m = 499.758 kg-m²/s

4) What is the angular velocity of the merry-go-round after the individual jumps on?

We can apply the Principle of Conservation of Angular Momentum

L in = L fin

⇒ I₀*ω₀ = I₁*ω₁

where

I₁ = I₀ + m*R²

⇒  I₀*ω₀ = (I₀ + m*R²)*ω₁

At this point, we can determine ω₁

⇒  ω₁ = I₀*ω₀ / (I₀ + m*R²)

⇒  ω₁ = 196 kg-m²*1.53 rad/s / (196 kg-m² + 73 kg*(1.63 m)²)

⇒  ω₁ = 0.769 rad/s

5) Once the merry-go-round moves at this new angular speed, what force must the person exert to hold on?

We must calculate the centripetal force as follows

Fc = m*ω²*R  

⇒  Fc = 73 kg*(0.769 rad/s)²*1.63 m = 70.3686 N

6) When the person is halfway around, they choose to simply release their hold on the merry-go-round to exit the ride.

What is the linear speed of the person the moment they exit the merry-go-round?

we can apply the equation

v = ω₁*R = 0.769 rad/s*1.63 m = 1.2535 m/s

7) What is the angular velocity of the merry-go-round after the individual releases their hold?

ω₀ = 1.53 rad/s

It returns to its original angular speed

Softa [3030]

Answer:

a) ∆x∆v = 5.78*10^-5

∆v = 1157.08 m/s

b) 4.32*10^{-11}

Explanation:

This problem can be addressed using Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, which is expressed as:

\Delta x\Delta p \geq \frac{\hbar}{2}

Where h represents Planck’s constant (6.62*10^-34 J s).

Assuming that the electron's mass remains the same, we proceed as follows:

\Delta x \Delta (m_ev)=m_e\Delta x\Delta v \geq \frac{\hbar}{2}

Utilizing the electron's mass (9.61*10^-31 kg) and the uncertainty in position (50 nm), we can compute ∆x∆v and ∆v:

\Delta x \Delta v\geq\frac{\hbar}{2m_e}=\frac{(1.055*10^{-34}Js)}{2(9.1*10^{-31}kg)}=5.78*10^{-5}\ m^2/s

\Delta v\geq\frac{5.78*10^{-5}}{50*10^{-9}m}=1157.08\frac{m}{s}

If we treat the electron like a classic particle, the time required to cross the channel is determined using the upper limit of the uncertainty in velocity:

t=\frac{x}{v}=\frac{50*10^{-9}m}{1157.08m/s}=4.32*10^{-11}s
