Answer:

The bottom of the Mariana Trench, in the western Pacific ocean, which is nearly 6,370 km

Explanation:

The bottom of the Mariana Trench is the deepest point ever found in our planet, and it is the closest to the earth´s center, rememeber that gravitational potential energy decreases as height increases, so the place where the change of gravitational potential energy would be the greatest, not meaning that that would be meaningful or feelable, would be the bottom of the Mariana Trench due to its closeness to the center of the Earth.

Answer:

the Mariana trench

Explanation:

To perform this calculation we must use the law of universal gravitation

          F = G m M / r²

Where the gravitational potential energy is immediately deducted

         U = ∫ F dr

         U = - G m M (1 / r - 1 / Ro)

In general the point of Ro is taken at infinity so that here the energy is zero

Therefore, for this problem we will use the equation

           U = - G m M / r

Let's calculate the distance, for the three requested points

-Ecuador

         R = 6370 km (1000 m / 1 km)

         R = 6.370 10 6 m

- Mariana Trench

This is 11 km deep

        R = 6370 -11 km = 6359 km

        R = 6.359 106 m

- The Chimborazo

      R = 6384 Km

      R = 6.384 10 6 m

We can appreciate that if we introduce these values ​​in the formula, the one that gives the greatest change would be the one with the least distance. Let's calculate it,

 

- Ecuator

      U = - (G mM) / (6.370 106)

      U = - (GmM) 1.5699 10-7 J

- mariana trench

      U = - (GmM) 1 / 6,359 106

      U = - (GmM) 1.5725 10-7 J

- Chimborazo

      U = - (GmM) 1 / 6,384 106

      U = - (GmM) 1.5664 10 -7 J

Here we can see that the greatest value is that of the Mariana trench

We decided to make an iced latte by adding ice to a 200 mL hot latte at 45 °C. The ice starts out at 0 C. How much ice do we nee
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

m = 77.75 g

Explanation:

Here we know that at equilibrium the temperature of the system will be 10 degree C

so heat given by hot latte = heat absorbed by the ice

now we have

heat given by latte = m s\Delta T

Q_1 = (200)(4.186)(45 - 10)

Q_1 = 29302 J

now heat absorbed by ice is given as

Q_2 = mL + ms\Delta T

Q_2 = m(335 + 4.186(10 - 0))

Q_2 = m(376.86)

now by heat balance we have

Q_1 = Q_2

29302 = m(376.86)

m = 77.75 g

A small ball of charge Q and mass m has a velocity v at infinity. It collides head-on with a ball of the same charge and mass wh
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Kinetic energy of ball in motion = 1/2 m v² . Potential energy = 0

Let the minimum distance between the balls be d  on collision.

Electric potential energy at that time= k Q²/d , Here kinetic energy is converted into potential energy . So

1/2 m v² = kQ²/d

d =2 k Q² / mv²,= 18 x 10⁹ x Q²/ m v².

A parallel-plate capacitor is connected to a battery. After it becomes charged, the capacitor is disconnected from the battery a
Inessa [10]

Answer:

The potential difference between the plates increases

Explanation:

As we know that the capacitance of the capacitor is given by:

q = CV         (1)

where

q = charge

C = capacitance

V = Voltage or Potential Difference

Also, the capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor is given as:

C = \frac{\epsilon_{o}A}{D}           (2)

where

\epsilon_{o} = permittivity of free space or vacuum

A = Area of the plates

D = Separation distance between the plates

Now, from eqn (1) and (2):

V = \frac{qD}{A\epsilon_{o}}

Now, from the above eqn  we can say that:

Potential difference depends directly on the separation distance between the plates of the capacitor and is inversely dependent on the area of the plates of the capacitor.

Therefore, after disconnecting, if the separation between the plates is increased the potential difference across it also increases.
