The positions to be considered are the position of the acorn and the earth.

<h3>What is potential energy?</h3>

The potential energy is the energy that is possessed by a body by virtue of its position. Hence, the potential energy of a body changes as its position changes.

Hence, to determine how the potential energy of the acorn changes in relation to the earth, the positions to be considered are the position of the acorn and the earth.

A charged particle moves in a circular path in a uniform magnetic field.Which of the following would increase the period of the
Bond [772]

Answer:

Increasing its charge

Increasing the field strength

Explanation:

For a charged particle moving in a circular path in a uniform magnetic field, the centripetal force is provided by the magnetic force, so we can write:

qvB = m\frac{v^2}{r}

where

q is the charge

v is the velocity

B is the magnetic field

m is the mass

r is the radius of the orbit

The period of the motion is

T=\frac{2\pi r}{v}

Re-arranging for r

r=\frac{Tv}{2\pi}

And substituting into the previous equation

qvB = m \frac{Tv^3}{2\pi}

Solving for T,

T=\frac{2\pi q B}{m v^2}

So we see that the period is:

- proportional to the charge and the magnetic field

- inversely proportional to the mass and the square of the speed

So the following will increase the period of the particle's motion:

Increasing its charge

Increasing the field strength

A cannonball is fired at a 45.0° angle and an initial velocity of 670 m/s. Assume no air resistance. What is the vertical compon
elixir [45]

Answer:

<h3>473.8 m/s; 473.8 m/s</h3>

Explanation:

Given the initial velocity U = 670m/s

Horizontal velocity Ux = Ucos theta

Vertical component of the cannon velocity Uy = Usin theta

Given

U = 670m/s

theta = 45°

horizontal component of the cannonball’s velocity = 670 cos 45

horizontal component of the cannonball’s velocity = 670(0.7071)

horizontal component of the cannonball’s velocity = 473.757m/s

Vertical component of the cannonball’s velocity = 670 sin 45

Vertical component of the cannonball’s velocity  = 670 (0.7071)

Vertical component of the cannonball’s velocity  = 473.757m/s

Hence pair of answer is 473.8 m/s; 473.8 m/s

A 30-mm-diameter copper rod is 1 m long with a yield strength of 70 MPa. Determine the axial force necessary to cause the diamet
ivolga24 [154]

Explanation:

Given data:

d = 30 mm = 0.03 m

L = 1m

S_{y} = 70 Mpa

Δd = -0.0001d

Axial force = ?

validity of elastic deformation assumption.

Solution:

O'₂ = Δd/d = (-0.0001d)/d = -0.0001

For copper,

v = 0.326      E = 119×10³ Mpa

O'₁ = O'₂/v = (-0.0001)/0.326 = 306×10⁶

∵δ = F.L/E.A    and σ = F/A so,

σ = δ.E/L = O'₁ .E = (306×10⁻⁶).(119×10³) = 36.5 MPa

F = σ . A = (36.5 × 10⁻⁶) . (π/4 × (0.03)²) = 25800 KN

S_{y} = 70 MPa > σ = 36.5 MPa

∵ elastic deformation assumption is valid.

so the answer is

F = 25800 K N            and     S_{y} > σ
