Potential energy<span> is the </span>energy<span> that is stored in an object due to its position relative to some zero position. It is calculated by the expression PE = mgh where mg is the weight of the book and h is the height. It is calculated as follows:

PE = 50(1) = 50 J
</span>PE = 50(1.5) = 75 J
PE = 50(2) = 100 J

An electron has a velocity of 1.50 km/s (in the positive x direction) and an acceleration of 2.00 ✕ 1012 m/s2 (in the positive z
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

see explanation

Explanation:

Given that,

velocity of 1.50 km/s = 1.50 × 10³m/s

acceleration of 2.00 ✕ 1012 m/s2

electric field has a magnitude of strength of 18.0 N/C

\bar F= q[\bar E + \bar V \times \bar B]\\\\\bar F = [\bar E + \bar V \times ( B_x \hat i +B_y \hat j +B_z \hat z )]\\\\\\m \bar a = [\bar E + \bar V \times ( B_x \hat i +B_y \hat j +B_z \hat z )]

9.1 \times 10^-^3^1 \times 2\times 10^1^2 \hat k=-1.6\times10^-^1^9 \hat k [18\hat k+ 1.5\times 10^3 \hat i \times (B_x \hat i +B_y \hat j +B_z \hat k)]42.2 \times 10^-^1^9 \hat k = -2.4 \times 10^1^6B_y \hat k + 2.4 \times 10 ^1^6 \hat j B_z\\

B_x = undetermined

B_y = \frac{42.2 \times 10^-^1^9}{-2.4 \times 10^-^1^6} \\\\= - 0.0176 T

B_z = 0T

A basketball player standing up with the hoop launches the ball straight up with an initial velocity of v_o = 3.75 m/s from 2.5
denis23 [38]

Answer:

a) The maximum height the ball will achieve above the launch point is 0.2 m.

b) The minimum velocity with which the ball must be launched is 4.43 m/s or 0.174 in/ms.

Explanation:

a)

For the height reached, we use 3rd equation of motion:

2gh = Vf² - Vo²

Here,

Vo = 3.75 m/s

Vf =  0m/s, since ball stops at the highest point

g = -9.8 m/s² (negative sign for upward motion)

h = maximum height reached by ball

therefore, eqn becomes:

2(-9.8m/s²)(h) = (0 m/s)² - (3.75 m/s²)²

<u>h = 0.2 m</u>

b)

To find out the initial speed to reach the hoop at height of 3.5 m, we again use 3rd eqn. of motion with h= 3.5 m - 2.5m = 1 m (taking launch point as reference), and Vo as unknown:

2(-9.8m/s²)(1 m) = (0 m/s)² - (Vo)²

(Vo)² = 19.6 m²/s²

Vo = √19.6 m²/s²

<u>Vo = 4.43 m/s</u>

Vo = (4.43 m/s)(1 s/1000 ms)(39.37 in/1 m)

<u>Vo = 0.174 in/ms</u>

Please help! What is physical property and what is chemical property?
sladkih [1.3K]
PHysical properties are properties that do not involve changes in the molecular level. In this case, malleability and magnetism are physical. 
Chemical properties involve changes to the substance at the molecular level or change its identity. In this case, reacting with oxygen and nonflammability is a chemical property.

A solid spherical conductor has a radius of 12 cm. The electric field at 24 from the center of the sphere has a magnitude of 640
hoa [83]

Answer:

Charge density on the sphere = 2.2 × 10⁻⁸ C/m²

Explanation:

Given:

Radius of sphere (r) = 12 cm = 0.12 m

Distance from the electric field R = 24 cm = 0.24 m

Magnitude (E) = 640 N/C

Find:

Charge density on the sphere

Computation:

Charge on the sphere (q) = (1/K)ER²            (K = 9 × 10⁹)

Charge on the sphere (q) = [1/(9 × 10⁹)](640)(0.24)²

Charge on the sphere (q) = 4 × 10⁻⁹ C

Charge density on the sphere = q / [4πr²]

Charge density on the sphere = [4 × 10⁻⁹] / [4(3.14)(0.12)²]

Charge density on the sphere = [4 × 10⁻⁹] / [0.18]

Charge density on the sphere = 2.2 × 10⁻⁸ C/m²
