If two identical bowling balls are raised to the same height, one on Earth and the other on the moon, which has the larger poten

tial energy relative to the surface of the bodies?
Physics
1 answer:
mash [69]4 years ago
5 0

Answer:

"The bowling ball on Earth will have a greater potential energy relative to the surface because the Earth has a much greater mass, and therefore a much stronger gravitational acceleration."

Explanation:

Potential energy acts as a result of the object placed over the Earth's surface, The object has the ability to fall because of the gravitational force. Gravitational potential  energy is based on the weight of the object and also the height above the ground surface. But the elastic potential energy acts due to the shape of the object. Potential energy is related with the restoring of the forces which is the spring or the force of the gravity.

A particle with negative charge q and mass m = 2.65×10−15 kg is traveling through a region containing a uniform magnetic field B
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

q = 2,95 10-6 C

Explanation:

The magnetic force on a particle is described by the equation

      F = q v x B

Where bold indicate vectors

Let's make the vector product

      vxB =\left[\begin{array}{ccc}i&j&k\\-3&4&12\\0&0&-0.13\end{array}\right]

                     

      v x B = 1.20 106 [i ^ (4 0.130) - j ^ (3 0.130)]

      vx B = 1.20 106 [0.52 i ^ - 0.39j ^]

As they give us the force module, let's use Pythagoras' theorem,

     |v xB | =1.20 10⁶ √( 0.52² + 0.39²)

    |v x B| = 1.20 10⁶ 0.65

     v xB = 0.78 10⁶

Let's replace and calculate

    2.30 = q 0.78 10⁶

    q = 2.3 / 0.78 106

    q = 2,95 10-6 C

A copper wire is 1.6 m long and its diameter is 1.1 mm. If the wire hangs vertically, how much weight (in N) must be added to it
qaws [65]

Answer:

Weight required = 194.51 N

Explanation:

The elongation is given by

            \Delta L=\frac{PL}{AE}

Length , L= 1.6 m

Diameter, d = 1.1 mm

Area

   A=\frac{\pi d^2}{4}=\frac{\pi \times (1.1\times 10^{-3})^2}{4}=9.50\times 10^{-7}m^2

Change in length, ΔL = 2.8 mm = 0.0028 m

Young's modulus of copper, E = 117 GPa = 117 x 10⁹ Pa

Substituting,

      \Delta L=\frac{PL}{AE}\\\\0.0028=\frac{P\times 1.6}{9.50\times 10^{-7}\times 117\times 10^9}\\\\P=194.51N

Weight required = 194.51 N

Which formulas have been correctly rearranged to solve for radius? Check all that apply. r = GM central/v^2 r =fcm/v^2 r =ac/v^2
jek_recluse [69]

The orbital radius is: r=\frac{GM}{v^2}

Explanation:

The problem is asking to find the radius of the orbit of a satellite around a planet, given the orbital speed of the satellite.

For a satellite in orbit around a planet, the gravitational force provides the required centripetal force to keep it in circular motion, therefore we can write:

\frac{GMm}{r^2}=m\frac{v^2}{r}

where

G is the gravitational constant

M is the mass of the planet

m is the mass of the satellite

r is the radius of the orbit

v is the speed of the satellite

Re-arranging the equation, we find:

\frac{GM}{r}=v^2\\r=\frac{GM}{v^2}

A fuse in an electric circuit is a wire that is designed to melt, and thereby open the circuit, if the current exceeds a predete
arlik [135]

Answer:

0.0389 cm

Explanation:

The current density in a conductive wire is given by

J=\frac{I}{A}

where

I is the current

A is the cross-sectional area of the wire

In this problem, we know that:

- The fuse melts when the current density reaches a value of

J=520 A/cm^2

- The maximum limit of the current in the wire must be

I = 0.62 A

Therefore, we can find the cross-sectional area that the wire should have:

A=\frac{I}{J}=\frac{0.62}{520}=1.19\cdot 10^{-3} cm^2

We know that the cross-sectional area can be written as

A=\pi \frac{d^2}{4}

where d is the diameter of the wire.

Re-arranging the equation, we  find the diameter of the wire:

d=\sqrt{\frac{4A}{\pi}}=\sqrt{\frac{4(1.19\cdot 10^{-3})}{\pi}}=0.0389 cm
