The gravitational potential energy of the object is 100 J.

Gravitational potential energy stored in an object is the work done in raising the object to a height h against the gravitational force acting on it.

The gravitational force acting on a body is its weight mg, where m is its mass and g, the acceleration due to gravity.

Work done by a force is equal to the product of the force and the displacement made by the point of application of the force.

$GPE = mgh$

The weight of the object is given as 20 J and it is raised to a height of 5 m.

$GPE =(mg)*h = (20 N)*(5m)=100 J$

The gravitational potential energy of the object is 100 J.

Answer:

(a) 135 kV

(b) The charge chould be moved to infinity

Explanation:

(a)

The potential at a distance of r from a point charge, Q, is given by

$V = -\dfrac{kQ}{r}$

where $k = 9\times 10^9 \text{ F/m}$

Difference in potential between the points is

$kQ\left[-\dfrac{1}{0.2\text{ m}} -\left( -\dfrac{1}{0.1\text{ m}}\right)\right] = \dfrac{kQ}{0.2\text{ m}} = \dfrac{9\times10^9\text{ F/m}\times3\times10^{-6}\text{ C}}{0.2\text{ m}}$

$PD = 135\times 10^3\text{ V} = 135\text{ kV}$

(b)

If this potential difference is increased by a factor of 2, then the new pd = 135 kV × 2 = 270 kV. Let the distance of the new location be x.

$270\times10^3 = kQ\left[-\dfrac{1}{x}-\left(-\dfrac{1}{0.1\text{ m}}\right)\right]$

$10 - \dfrac{1}{x} = \dfrac{270000}{9\times10^9\times3\times10^{-6}} = 10$

$\dfrac{1}{x} = 0$

$x = \infty$

The charge chould be moved to infinity

Answer:

D.-4.798m/s

Explanation:

Greetings !

Given values

$u= 4ms \\ a = 0.21ms {}^{2} \\ t = 3.8sec$

Solve for V of the given expression

Firstly, recall the velocity-time equation

$v = u + at$

plug in known values to the equation

$v = (4) + (0.21)(3.8)$

solve for final velocity

$v = 4.792ms$

Hope it helps!

. How does the area of a rectangle relate to the lengths of each side?

iragen [17]

Area is 2-dimensional which means it has a length and a width area is measured in square units such as square inches, square feet or square meters. To find the area of a rectangle multiply the length by the width.

Answer:

Superconducting materials can transport electrons with no resistance, and hence release no heat, sound, or other energy forms. Superconductivity occurs at a specific material's critical temperature (Tc). As temperature decreases, a superconducting material's resistance gradually decreases until it reaches critical temperature. At this point resistance drops off, often to zero, as shown in the graph at right.
