Answer: -7J

Explanation:

To determine the change in potential energy, use the equation ΔPE=mgΔh

PE=mg

, where m is the mass, g= 9.8 m/s2

g= 9.8 m/s

, and Δh is the change in height. Hence, we have that the potential energy PE=4.0 kg×9.8 m/s2×-2.0 m=-78 J

PE=4.0 kg

9.8 m/s

-2.0 m=-78 J

. To verify that this is correct, note that since the cat changes the potential energy to kinetic energy by jumping, the potential energy decreases. Hence, the potential energy should be negative.

Answer:

$3.844\,*\,10^5$

So a=3.844 and b=5

Explanation:

Scientific notation requests to write a number using powers of ten as a factor accompanying a real number (a) between 1 and smaller than 10 that contains the digits to exactly represent the original number. So in this case, the number 384,400 can be written as:

$384,400=3.844 \,*\,100,000= 3.844 \,*\,10^5$

with a=3.844, and "5" as the exponent of ten (so b=5)

A planar electromagnetic wave is propagating in the +x direction. At a certain point P and at a given instant, the electric fiel

Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

$B=2.74\times 10^{-10}\ T$

Explanation:

It is given that,

A planar electromagnetic wave is propagating in the +x direction.The electric field at a certain point is, E = 0.082 V/m

We need to find the magnetic vector of the wave at the point P at that instant.

The relation between electric field and magnetic field is given by :

$c=\dfrac{E}{B}$

c is speed of light

B is magnetic field

$B=\dfrac{E}{c}\\\\B=\dfrac{0.082}{3\times 10^8}\\\\B=2.74\times 10^{-10}\ T$

So, the magnetic vector at point P at that instant is $2.74\times 10^{-10}\ T$ .

What kind of radiation is emitted in the following nuclear reaction

miv72 [106K]

Beta emission is occurring in the given nuclear reaction.

Answer: Option B

<u>Explanation:</u>

In this equation, the reactant is the Thorium atom, which is reduced to palladium. As the atomic number get decreased by one, so an electron will be emitted. This process of emission of electrons by radiation or decaying the reactant nuclei to form a new product nuclei is termed as beta emission.

So, the electrons are generally termed as beta particles while the positrons are termed as positive beta particles. So this is a kind of radioactive reactions where the reactant changes to new element by releasing an electron and thus there is a change in the atomic number of the product by one.
