Explanation:

an object's gravitational potential energy Eg is m×g×h where:

m=mass

g=9.8m/s²

h=height relative to the closest object below it (because it cannot potentially fall through it

so Eg = 15×9.8×5=735J

How can electric energy be converted to heat energy?

Goshia [24]

To do that, you must pass electric current through a substance
that electrons have to spend energy to pass through.
The substance will be one that gets warm and dissipates heat
when electric current flows through it.
We'll say that the substance has "resistance", which we can measure.
The amount of heat that appears when current flows through it
will be (current²)·(resistance).

A few examples of things used for that purpose:

-- resistors
-- burners on electric stoves
-- coils of resistor-wire in a toaster
-- aquarium heater
-- electric clothes iron
-- electric coffee pot
-- blow-dryer
-- electric hair-curling iron
-- skinny tungsten wire in a light-bulb .

A proton is released in a uniform electric field, and it experiences an electric force of 5 X 10^-10 N toward the South. What is

Ymorist [56]

Answer:

Electric field on proton

$E=3.12\times 10^9\ N/C$

Explanation:

Given that

$Force,F=5\times 10^{-10}\ N$

We know that

Charge on proton

$q=1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C$

We know that

Force = Electric field x Charge

F= E x q

$E=\dfrac{F}{q}\ N/C$

$E=\dfrac{5\times 10^{-10}}{1.6\times 10^{-19}}\ N/C$

$E=3.12\times 10^9\ N/C$

Electric field on proton

$E=3.12\times 10^9\ N/C$

A simple pendulum consists of a point mass suspended by a weightless, rigid wire in a uniform gravitation field. Check all that

9966 [12]

Answer:

f.The period is independent of the suspended mass.

Explanation:

The period of a pendulum is given by

$T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}$

where

L is the length of the pendulum

g is the acceleration due to gravity

From the formula, we see that:

1) the period of the pendulum depends only on its length, L, and it is proportional to the square root of the length

2) the period does not depend neither on the mass of the pendulum, nor on its amplitude of oscillation

So, the only correct statements are

f.The period is independent of the suspended mass.

Note: statement "e.The period is proportional to the length of the wire" is also wrong, because the period is NOT proportional to the length of the wire, but it is proportional to the square root of it.
