Answer: Apple at point D

Explanation:

Potential energy is the energy possessed by an object by virtue of its position.

$P.E=m\times g\times h$

m= mass of object

g = acceleration due to gravity = $10ms^{-2}$

h = height of an object

Thus as can be seen from the relation, potential energy is directly proportional to the height of an object, the apple with maximum height, at point D will have maximum potential energy.

D. Because as height increases, so does the potential energy.

Consider the following neutral electron configurations in which n has a constant value. Which configuration would belong to the

grandymaker [24]

Answer:

he configuration with the highest electronic affinity is 2s2 2p5

Explanation:

Electronic affinity is the variation of energy when we add an electron to a neutral atom to form an ion

When an electron is added, it must occupy a space is the sub-level of the atom, giving more stability when it approaches the configuration of a complete shell with eight electrons (noble gas), so the affinity must increase when moving in a period Group VIII noble gases)

Let's examine the given settings

In this case, when adding an electron, 2s2 is very far from a complete level configuration, so its affinity must be small.

2s2 2p2 when adding an electro the one has a little more affinity, but is still a long way from a full shell, it would be missing 3 electrons

2s2 2sp5 this is the atom with the highest electronic affinity, since i = that when adding an electron the ion has the configuration of a noble gas. This is the most stable on the list

2s2 2p6 already has a full shell making it very difficult to insert an electron into this atom.

In summary, the configuration with the highest electronic affinity is 2s2 2p5

Which kind of force do you exert on an object when you pull it toward you?

jarptica [38.1K]

By definition we have to:

Applied force: It is the external force that acts directly on a body.

Therefore, we can say that if you have an object and push it towards yourself, you are exerting an external force on the object.

This external force was not acting on the object previously, therefore, it is a force that you are applying at that moment.

Answer:

you exert an Applied Force on an object when you pull it towards you

A. Applied Force

miss Akunina [59]

The total work done by the electric field on the charge is given by the scalar product between the electric force acting on the charge and the displacement of the charge:
$W=F d cos \theta$
where the force is F=qE, d=0.556 and $\theta=55.2^{\circ}$ . Using the value of q and E given by the problem, we find
$W=qEdcos\theta = 6.39\cdot10^{-5}J$

An astronaut finds herself in a predicament in which she has become untethered from her shuttle. She figures that she could get

Blizzard [7]

In order to solve the problem, it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the conservation of momentum, especially when there is an impact or the throwing of an object.

The equation that defines the linear moment is given by

$mV_i = (m-m_O)V_f - m_OV_O$

where,

m=Total mass

$m_O =$ Mass of Object

$V_i =$ Velocity before throwing

$V_f =$ Final Velocity

$V_O =$ Velocity of Object

Our values are:

$m_1=5.3kgm_2=7.9kg\\m_3=10.5kg\\m_A=75kg\\m_{Total}=m=98.7Kg$

Solving to find the final speed, after throwing the object we have

$V_f=\frac{mV_0+m_TV_O}{m-m_O}$

We have three objects. For each object a launch is made so the final mass (denominator) will begin to be subtracted successively. In addition, during each new launch the initial speed will be given for each object thrown again.

That way during each section the equations should be modified depending on the previous one, let's start:

A) $5.3Kg\rightarrow 15m/s$
