How does a mass drive work

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A mass driver or electro magnetic catapult is a proposed method of non-rocket space launch which would use a linear motor to accelerate and catapult payloads up to high speeds. All existing and contemplated mass drivers use coils of wire energized by electricity to make electromagnets.

A spring gun with a spring constant of 250N/m is compressed 5.0cm. How fast will a 0.025kg dart move when it leaves the gun?

Answers

Answer:

1.5 m/s

Explanation:

The dart moves when it leaves the spring gun with a velocity of 22.4 m/s.

What is Potential energy?

Potential energy is defined as the stored energy that depends on the relative position of different parts of a system such as springs have more potential energy when it will be compressed or stretched.

For velocity calculation of the dart when it leaves the spring gun, using the formula for potential energy stored in a spring:

[tex]PE = (1/2)kx^2[/tex]

where,

k is the spring constant

x is the compression of the spring.

Since the spring is compressed by 5 cm, the potential energy stored in it is:

[tex]PE = (1/2)(250 N/m)(0.05 m)^2[/tex]

PE = 6.25 J

The potential energy stored in the spring will be transferred to the dart when it is released which can be calculated from the velocity of the dart using the equation of conservation of energy:

[tex]PE = (1/2)mv^2[/tex]

where,

m is the mass of the dart

v is its velocity.

Solving for v:

v = sqrt(2PE/m)

=> sqrt(2(6.25 J)/(0.025 kg))

=> 22.4 m/s.

Thus, the dart moves when it leaves the spring gun with a velocity of 22.4 m/s.

A uniform electric field, with a magnitude of 449 N/C, is directed parallel to the positive x-axis. If the potential at x= 4.59 m is 966 V, what is the potential at x= 1.61 m?

Answers

Answer:

2.334‬ kV

Explanation:

Since the electric field strength Ecosθ = -ΔV/Δx = -(V₂ - V₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

where V₁ = potential at x₁ = 966 V, x₁ = 4.59 m, V₂ = potential at x₂ = unknown, x₂ = 1.61 m and θ = angle between E and the x - axis.

Given that E = + 449 N/C and since it is directed parallel to the positive x - axis, θ = 0°

So,

Ecosθ = -ΔV/Δx

Ecos0° = -ΔV/Δx

E = -ΔV/Δx

E = -(V₂ - V₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

making V₂ subject of the formula, we have

-E(x₂ - x₁) = V₂ - V₁

-E(x₂ - x₁) + V₁ = V₂

V₂ = V₁ - E(x₂ - x₁)

Substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

V₂ = V₁ - E(x₂ - x₁)

V₂ = 966 V - 449 N/C(1.61 m - 4.59 m)

V₂ = 966 V - 449 N/C(-2.98 m)

V₂ = 966 V + 1,338.02‬ Nm/C

V₂ = 966 V + 1,338.02‬ V

V₂ = ‭2,334.02‬ V

V₂ ≅ ‭2,334‬ V

V₂ = ‭2.334‬ kV

In a car collision, is it better for the passenger if the change in momentum is over a short period of time or a long period of time?

Answers

Explanation:

The force on the passenger will be F = ma

Here, m does not change, but a is the variable.

If the cars slows down very fast, the acceleration will be higher, and thus the force will be higher.

If the acceleration is lower, the force will be lower as well, which would be the most desirable scenario for the passenger.

(A) Its potential energy will increase; its kinetic energy will decrease.
(C) Both its potential and kinetic energies will increase.
(B) Its potential energy will decrease; its kinetic energy will increase.
(D) Both its potential and kinetic energies will decrease.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

The answer is A. First of all, due to the First Law of Thermodynamics, energy cannot be created or destroyed, it only changes form. That being said, it is impossible for the PE and the KE to both increase or decrease at the same time. The second one starts decreasing, the other starts increasing at the exact same rate. PE exists or is at its highest when an object has the potential to fall to a point lower than it is, and it is at this point where Kinetic energy is the lowest. If this block is kicked UP a ramp, which is odd but there you have it, the potential energy increases as it gets higher off the ground. Because of gravity, and assuming that once the block is kicked, the foot that kicked it is no longer important to it (meaning it's not being pushed up, it's just kicked once and that's it) and it will slow down very quickly. KE exists where there is a great amount of velocity.

The answer is A.

3.Three resistors of 25.0Ω, 30.0Ω, and 40.0Ω are in a series circuit with a 6.0-volt battery. What is the current in the circuit?

please answer by steps

Answers

Answer:

Current = 0.063 Amperes

Explanation:

Let the three resistors be R1, R2, and R3 respectively.

Given the following data;

R1 = 25.0Ω,

R2 = 30.0Ω

R3 = 40.0Ω

Voltage = 6 Volts

First of all, we would determine the equivalent or total resistance;

Total resistance (in series) = R1 + R2 + R3

Total resistance = 25.0Ω + 30.0Ω + 40.0Ω

Total resistance = 95 Ω

Next, we find the current flowing through the circuit;

Voltage = current * resistance

Substituting into the formula, we have;

6 = current * 95

Current = 6/95

Current = 0.063 Amperes

A laser pulse of duration 25 ms has a total energy of 1.4 J. The wavelength of this radiation is

an electron m=9.11 10-31
kg, the speed of light c= 3.00 x 108 m/s, and Planck's constant h
= 4.136 10-15 eV .s.

Answers

Answer:

n = 4 x 10¹⁸ photons

Explanation:

First, we will calculate the energy of one photon in the radiation:

[tex]E = \frac{hc}{\lambda}\\\\[/tex]

where,

E = Energy of one photon = ?

h = Plank's Constant = 6.625 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s

c = speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

λ = wavelength of radiation = 567 nm = 5.67 x 10⁻⁷ m

Therefore,

[tex]E = \frac{(6.625\ x\ 10^{-34}\ J.s)(3\ x\ 10^8\ m/s)}{5.67\ x\ 10^{-7}\ m}[/tex]

E = 3.505 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

Now, the number of photons to make up the total energy can be calculated as follows:

[tex]Total\ Energy = nE\\1.4\ J = n(3.505\ x\ 10^{-19}\ J)\\n = \frac{1.4\ J}{3.505\ x\ 10^{-19}\ J}\\[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

t = 3 minutes

Explanation:

Given that,

Power of fan, P = 50 W

Energy used, E = 1 kWh

We know that,

Energy = Power/time

As, 50 watts = 0.05 kilowatts

So,

[tex]t=\dfrac{P}{E}\\\\t=\dfrac{0.05\ kW}{1\ kWh}\\\\t=0.05\ h[/tex]

or

t = 3 min

So, the required time is equal to 3 minutes.

vf = final speed = 0 m/s

vi = iniial speed = 10 m/s

Green light (520 nm) enters glass with n = 1.52. What is the wavelength of light that enters the glass?

Answers

Answer:

answer=1.97×10^8

Explanation:

will u mark me brainliest?

Green light (520 nm) enters glass with n = 1.52, the wavelength of light that enters the glass is 520 nm.

To find the wavelength of light that enters the glass, we can use Snell's Law, which relates the angles and indices of refraction for light passing through a boundary between two mediums:

n₁ × sin(θ₁) = n₂ × sin(θ₂)

In this scenario, we can assume that the angle of incidence is zero degrees (the light is entering the glass perpendicular to the surface). Therefore, sin(θ₁) becomes sin(0) which is 0.

Using Snell's Law, we have:

n₁ × sin(θ₁) = n₂ × sin(θ₂)

1 × 0 = 1.52 × sin(θ₂)

The wavelength of light that enters the glass remains the same as the initial wavelength in air, which is 520 nm (nanometers).

Thus, the wavelength of light that enters the glass is 520 nm.

A 200kg bumper car moving 3 m/s collides head on with a 392kg bumper car moving 6m/s. After impact, the larger car continues traveling in the same direction with a velocity of 1.6 m/s . Determine the speed of the other car.

Answers

Answer:

the final speed of the smaller car is 5.624 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the small car, m₁ = 200 kg

initial velocity of the small car, u₁ = 3 m/s

mass of the larger car, m₂ = 392 kg

initial velocity of the larger car, u₂ = 6 m/s

final velocity of the larger car, v₂ = 1.6 m/s

let the direction of the larger car be positive

let the direction of the smaller car be negative

Apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum to determine the final speed of the smaller car.

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = m₁v₁  +  m₂v₂

200(-3)  +  392(6)  = 200v₁   +  392 x 1.6

-600 + 2352  = 200v₁    +  627.2

1752   =  200v₁     +   627.2

1752  -  627.2     =  200v₁

1124.8  = 200v₁

v₁  =  1124.8/200

v₁ = 5.624 m/s

Therefore, the final speed of the smaller car is 5.624 m/s
