Explanation:

It is given that, a cross-country skier moves 32 meters westward, then 54 meters eastward, and finally 68 meters westward.

The attached figure shows the whole scenario. He starts walking 32 m west and finally it walks 68 m west.

Let west is negative and east is positive.

Displacement = final position - initial position

= -68 - (-32)

= -36 m

The magnitude of displacement is equal to 30 m westwards.

A point charge of 5.7 µc moves at 4.5 × 105 m/s in a magnetic field that has a field strength of 3.2 mt, as shown in the diagram

Sauron [17]

The magnitude of the force on the charge by the influence of the magnetic field will be 6.6*10^-3 N

<h3>What is magnetic force?</h3>

Magnetic force, attraction or repulsion that arises between electrically charged particles because of their motion.The magnitude of the magnetic force acting on the charge is given by:

$\rm F=qvBsin\theta$

where

The magnitude of the charge $q=5.7\ \mu C =5.7\times 10^{-6} \ C$

The velocity of the charge $v=4.5\times 10^5\ \frac{m}{s}$

The magnitude of the magnetic field $3.2\ mT=0.0032\ T$

The angle between the directions of v and B $\theta =90^o-37^o=53^o$

By substituting the values we will get:

$F=(5.7\times 10^}-6})(4.5\times 10^5)(0.0032)(Sin53^o)$

$F=6.6\times 10^{-3}\ N$

Hence the magnitude of the force on the charge by the influence of the magnetic field will be 6.6*10^-3 N

Is 40,000 °C hotter or colder than 3,600 °C????

Amiraneli [1.4K]

Yes because if 0*c equals 32*F than the higher the number the hotter it is

You look down an old well, cannot see the bottom, and mutter to yourself "Oh well!". In order to estimate the depth of the well,

telo118 [61]

Answer:

The best estimate of the depth of the well is 2.3 sec.

Explanation:

Given that,

Record time,

$t_{1}=2.19\ sec$

$t_{2}=2.30\ sec$

$t_{3}=2.26\ sec$

$t_{4}=2.29\ sec$

$t_{5}=2.27\ sec$

We need to find the best estimate of the depth of the well

According to record time,

We can write of the record time

$t_{1}=2.19\approx 2.2\ sec$

$t_{2}=2.30\approx 2.3\ sec$

$t_{3}=2.26\approx 2.3\ sec$

$t_{4}=2.29\approx 2.3\ sec$

$t_{5}=2.27\approx 2.3\ sec$

Here, all time is nearest 2.3 sec.

So, we can say that the best estimate of the depth of the well is 2.3 sec.

Hence, The best estimate of the depth of the well is 2.3 sec.

Which object has the most gravitational potential energy?

Kipish [7]

Answer: An 8 kg book at a height of 3 m has the most gravitational potential energy.

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy is the product of mass of object, height of object and gravitational field.

So, formula to calculate gravitational potential energy is as follows.

U = mgh

where,

m = mass of object

g = gravitational field = $9.81 m/s^{2}$

h = height of object

(A) m = 5 kg and h = 2m

Therefore, its gravitational potential energy is calculated as follows.

$U = mgh\\= 5 kg \times 9.81 m/s^{2} \times 2 m\\= 98.1 J (1 J = kg m^{2}/s^{2})$

(B) m = 8 kg and h = 2 m

Therefore, its gravitational potential energy is calculated as follows.

$U = mgh\\= 8 kg \times 9.81 m/s^{2} \times 2 m\\= 156.96 J (1 J = kg m^{2}/s^{2})$

(C) m = 8 kg and h = 3 m

Therefore, its gravitational potential energy is calculated as follows.

$U = mgh\\= 8 kg \times 9.81 m/s^{2} \times 3 m\\= 235.44 J (1 J = kg m^{2}/s^{2})$

(D) m = 5 kg and h = 3 m

Therefore, its gravitational potential energy is calculated as follows.

$U = mgh\\= 5 kg \times 9.81 m/s^{2} \times 3 m\\= 147.15 J (1 J = kg m^{2}/s^{2})$

Thus, we can conclude that an 8 kg book at a height of 3 m has the most gravitational potential energy.
