<span>The change in the electron's potential energy is equal to the work done on the electron by the electric field. The electron's potential energy is the stored energy relative to the electron's position in the electric field. Vcloud - Vground represents the change in Voltage. This voltage quantity is given to be 3.50 x 10^8 V, with the electron at the lower potential. The formula for calculating the change in the electron's potential energy (EPE) is found by charge x (Vcloud - Vground) = (EPEcloud - EPE ground) where charge is constant = 1.6 x 10^-19. Filling in the known quantities results in the expression 1.6 x 10^-19 (3.50 x 10^8) = (EPEcloud - EPEground) = 5.6 x 10^-11. Therefore, the change in the electron's potential energy from cloud to ground is 5.6 x 10^-11 joules.</span>

Professional Application. A 96 kg football player catches a 0.900 kg ball with his feet off the ground with both of them moving
Zarrin [17]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the equations related to the conservation of momentum.

This definition can be expressed as

m_1u_1+m_2u_2 = (m_1+m_2)V_f

Where

m_{1,2} = Mass of each object

u_{1,2} = Initial Velocity of each object

V_f= Final velocity

Rearranging the equation to find the final velocity we have,

V_f = \frac{m_1u_1+m_2u_2}{(m_1+m_2)}

Our values are given as

m_1 = 96Kg\\m_2 = 0.9Kg\\u_1 = 6.3m/s\\u_2 = 27.4m/s

Replacing we have,

V_f = \frac{(96)(6.3)+(0.9)(27.4)}{(96+0.9)}

V_f = 6.4959m/s

Therefore the final velocity is 6.5m/s

Vladimir79 [104]

E)  Biotechnology use can lead to an increase in soil erosion and pollution runoff through decreased pesticide use.

Explanation:

Biotechnology use cannot lead to an increase in soil erosion and pollution runoff through decreased pesticide use.

There is no relationship between biotechnology use and increase soil erosion and pollution run off.

Biotechnology involves the application of technology based on living things.

A block of gelatin is 120 mm by 120 mm by 40 mm when unstressed.
ycow [4]

Answer:

σ = 3.402 KPa ,  γ = 0.25 , G = 13.608 KPa

Explanation:

Given:-

- The dimension of gelatin block = ( 120 x 120 x 40 ) mm

- The applied force, F = 49 N

- The displacement of upper surface, x = 10 mm

Find:-

Find the shearing stress, shearing strain and  shear modulus.​

Solution:-

- The shear stress is the internal pressure created in an object opposing the applied action ( Force, moment, bending, or torque ).

- A force of F = 49 N was applied parallel to the top surface of the gelatin block.

- The shear effect results in a stress in the gelatin block.

- The formulation of stress ( σ ) is given below:

                        σ = F / A

Where,

           A : The surface area of the object that experiences the shear force.

- The top surface have the following dimensions:

          A = ( 0.120 )*( 0.120 ) = 0.0144 m^2

Therefore,

                     σ = 49 / 0.0144

                     σ = 3.402 KPa

- The shear strain ( γ ) is the measurement of change in dimension per unit depth of the block.

- The top surface undergoes a displacement of ( x ). The height of the top surface of the gelatin block is L = 40 mm.

Hence,

                    γ = x / L

                    γ = 10 / 40

                    γ = 0.25

- The shear modulus or the modulus of rigidity ( G ) is a material intrinsic property that signifies the amount of resistive stress to any cause of deformation.

- It is mathematically expressed as a ratio of shear stress  ( σ ) and shear strain ( γ ):

                   G =  σ / γ

                   G = 3.402 / 0.25

                   G = 13.608 KPa
