Answer:

63.36 kJ

Explanation:

Potential energy (PE) is the energy stored within an object, due to the object's position, arrangement or state.

Since the Boulder is now on a height , it has a potential energy

Potential Energy = mass * gravitational acceleration * height

(Assume the gravitational acceleration = 10ms⁻²)

$PE =m*g*h\\=264*10*24\\=63360 J\\=63.36 kJ$

Electrons in a particle beam each have a kinetic energy of 4.0 × 10 −17 J. What is the magnitude of the electric field that will

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

-833.3 N/C

Explanation:

Kinetic energy, K, in terms of electric field, E, is given as:

K = qEr

q = charge = e = 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹C

E = Electric field

r = distance = 0.3m

The electric field can be gotten by making E subject of formula:

E = K/(qr)

The electeic field needed to stop the electrons must be equal in magnitude to the electric field carried by these electrons:

E = (4.0 × 10⁻¹⁷)/(-1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ * 0.3)

E = -833.3 N/C

This is the electric field needed to stop the electrons.

The negative sign means that the electric field must be in a direction opposite to the motion of the electrons.

3. Imagine a 10kg block moving with a speed of 20m/s calculate the kinetic energy of this block

MatroZZZ [7]

The formula of the kinetic energy is:
$E_{k} = \frac{m v^{2} }{2}$
where m is a mass of the object, v is speed of the object at the moment of time. So we have:
$E_{k} = \frac{10* 20^{2} }{2} = 2000J$
The answer is 2000 Joules.

Answer:

65 meters

Explanation:

Time = 10 seconds

Speed = 6.5 m/s

Distance = ?

$Distance = speed\times time\\\\d = 6.5 \times 10 \\d = 65 m$
