The thermal energy that is generated due to friction is 344J.

<h3>What is the thermal energy?</h3>

Now we know that the total mechanical energy in the system is constant. The loss in energy is given by the loss in energy.

Thus, the kinetic energy is given as;

KE = 0.5 * mv^2 =0.5 * 15.0-kg * (1.10 m/s)^2 = 9.1 J

PE = mgh = 15.0-kg * 9.8 m/s^2 * 2.40 m = 352.8 J

The thermal energy is; 352.8 J - 9.1 J = 344J

A+10 u charge and a -10 4C (1 HC - 106 C), at a distance of 0.3 m,

Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

B. Attract each other with a force of 10 newtons.

Explanation:

Statement is incorrectly written. <em>The correct form is: A </em> $+10\,\mu C$ <em> charge and a </em> $-10\,\mu C$ <em> at a distance of 0.3 meters. </em>

The two particles have charges opposite to each other, so they attract each other due to electrostatic force, described by Coulomb's Law, whose formula is described below:

$F = \frac{\kappa \cdot |q_{A}|\cdot |q_{B}|}{r^{2}}$ (1)

Where:

$F$ - Electrostatic force, in newtons.

$\kappa$ - Electrostatic constant, in newton-square meters per square coulomb.

$|q_{A}|,|q_{B}|$ - Magnitudes of electric charges, in coulombs.

$r$ - Distance between charges, in meters.

If we know that $\kappa = 8.988\times 10^{9}\,\frac{N\cdot m^{2}}{C^{2}}$ , $|q_{A}| = |q_{B}| = 10\times 10^{-6}\,C$ and $r = 0.3\,m$ , then the magnitude of the electrostatic force is:

$F = \frac{\kappa \cdot |q_{A}|\cdot |q_{B}|}{r^{2}}$

$F = 9.987\,N$

In consequence, correct answer is B.

How much water can be held by a cylindrical tank with a radius of 12 feet and a height of 30 feet? A. 2,260.8 cubic feet B. 13,5

MakcuM [25]

Answer:

Volume, V = 13564.8 cubic feet

Explanation:

It is given that,

Radius of the cylindrical tank, r = 12 feet

Height of the tank, h = 30 feet

We need to find the water that can be held by a cylindrical tank i.e. we need to find the volume of the tank. It is given by :

$V=\pi\times r^2\times h$

$V=3.14\times (12)^2\times 30$

V = 13564.8 cubic feet

So, the water held by the tank is 13564.8 cubic feet. Hence, this is the required solution.

Why is it very difficult for astronomers to find objects like planets and asteroids?

mezya [45]

It is difficult for astronomers to find object like planets and asteroids because it takes a lot of time to verify the objects locations and what surrounds a certain object in order to prove and be precise of its location
