A 2kg bowling ball rolls at a speed of 5 m/s on a roof of the building that is 40 meters tall. What is the kinetic energy

1 answer:

8 0

The kinetic energy is $\frac 1 2 m v^2$ and the height of the building doesn't matter at all.

$E = \frac 1 2 m v^2 = \frac 1 2 (2)(5)^2 = 25$ joules

Permafrost characterizes the biome called

liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

Tundra Biome

Explanation:

Permafrost is a type of soil that is frozen all year round. It consists of rocks, soils and ice. The ice or frost holds the earth materials together.

The tundra biome lies below the arctic circle close to the north pole. Most of the earth here is predominantly frozen all year round. A layer of glacier covers the surface and a deep lying layer of permafrost follows suit.

Some mountain tops capped with ice shows this tundra features.

Most tundras are termed cold deserts as they have little to no precipitation all year round. There is absence of vegetation cover as a result of low growing season of the plants.

The small currents in axons corresponding to nerve impulses produce measurable magnetic fields. a typical axon carries a peak cu

Gemiola [76]

Answer:

$6.66\cdot 10^{-12}T$

Explanation:

The magnetic field produced by a current-carrying wire is given by

$B=\frac{\mu_0 I}{2\pi r}$

where

$\mu_0$ is the vacuum permeability

I is the current

r is the distance from the wire

In this problem we have

$I=0.040 \mu A=4\cdot 10^{-8}A$

r = 1.2 mm = 0.0012 m

So the magnetic field strength is

$B=\frac{(4\pi \cdot 10^{-7} H/m)(4\cdot 10^{-8}A)}{2\pi (0.0012 m)}=6.66\cdot 10^{-12}T$

Atoms that have become negatively charged by gaining extra electrons are called _____. anions anodes cations cathodes

nikklg [1K]

Anions: negatively charged atoms

Cations: positively charged atoms (CAT-ions are PAWS-itively charged)
Anode: positively charged electrode that allows electrical current flow (positive end of battery)
Cathode: negatively charged electrode that allows electrical current flow (negative end of batter)

You need to focus a 10 mW, 632.8 nm Gaussian laser beam that is 5.0 mm in diameter into a sample. You have access to a lens with

Anna [14]

Answer:

ee that the lens with the shortest focal length has a smaller object

Explanation:

For this exercise we use the constructor equation or Gaussian equation

$\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{p} + \frac{1}{q}$

where f is the focal length, p and q are the distance to the object and the image respectively.

Magnification a lens system is

m = $\frac{h'}{h}$ = - $\frac{q}{p}$

h ’= -\frac{h q}{p}

In the exercise give the value of the height of the object h = 0.50cm and the position of the object p =∞

Let's calculate the distance to the image for each lens

f = 6.0 cm

$\frac{1}{q} = \frac{1}{f } - \frac{1}{p}$

as they indicate that the light fills the entire lens, this indicates that the object is at infinity, remember that the light of the laser rays is almost parallel, therefore p = inf

q = f = 6.0 cm

for the lens of f = 12.0 cm q = 12.0 cn

to find the size of the image we use

h ’= h q / p

where p has a high value and is the same for all systems

h ’= h / p q

Thus

f = 6 cm h ’= fo 6 cm

f = 12 cm h ’= fo 12 cm

therefore we see that the lens with the shortest focal length has a smaller object
