Potential energy is the energy possessed by a body at rest while the kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a body in motion.
Potential energy is given by mass× gravitational acceleration × height
         That is energy = mgh
For the first ball the potential energy is 2.268 ×10 ×5 = 113.4 J (5 lb = 2.268 kg)
          The second ball with the same mass will have 2.268 ×10 ×10 = 226.8 J
Thus, the potential energy is dependent on the height of a given body and therefore the ball at the 5 foot hill has less potential energy.

Answer:

8.79*10^6 rad/s

Explanation:

To find the frequency of the circular orbit for an electron you use the following expression, for the radius of the trajectory of an electron, that travels trough a constant magnetic field:

r=\frac{mv}{qB}         (1)

r: radius of the trajectory

m: mass of the electron = 9.1*10^-31 kg

v: speed of the electron = 1.0*10^6 m/s

q: charge of the electron = 1.6*10^-19 C

B: magnitude of the magnetic field = 5.0*10^-5 T

You use the fact that the angular frequency in a circular motion is given by:

\omega=\frac{v}{r}

Then, you solve the equation (1) in order to obtain v/r:

\frac{v}{r}=\omega=\frac{qB}{m}

Finally, you replace the values of the parameters:

\omega=\frac{(1.6*10^{-19}C)(5.0*10^{-5}T)}{9.1*10^{-31}kg}\\\\\omega=8.79*10^6\frac{rad}{s}

hence, the angular frequency is 8.79*10^6 rad/s

The frequency is:

f=2\pi \omega=5.5*10^7Hz

Why are all bodies in nature electrically neutral? short answer please​
DENIUS [597]

Answer: because they have equal numbers of protons

Explanation: Atoms are electrically neutral because they have equal numbers of protons (positively charged) and electrons (negatively charged). If an atom gains or loses one or more electrons, it becomes an ion
