Answer:

16916.4 V

Explanation:

Electric potential: This is the work done in bringing a unit positive charge from infinity to that point in against the action of the field. The S.I unit  of Electric potential is V.

mathematically, Electric potential can be expressed as

P = E×d ....................................... Equation 1.

Where P = Electric potential, E = Electric Field, d = distance/height of the level at the top of the Washington  Monument.

Given: E = 100 V/m, d = 555 ft = 555×0.3048 m = 169.164 m.

Substitute into equation 1

P = 100×169.164

P = 16916.4 V.

Thus the potential difference = 16916.4 V.

a car accelerates uniformly from rest to a speed of 65 km/h (18 m/s) in 12s. Find the distance the car travels during this time?
Vinil7 [7]

The car's speed was zero at the beginning of the 12 seconds,
and 18 m/s at the end of it.  Since the acceleration was 'uniform'
during that time, the car's average speed was (1/2)(0 + 18) = 9 m/s.

12 seconds at an average speed of 9 m/s  ==>  (12 x 9) = 108 meters .

==========================================

That's the way I like to brain it out.  If you prefer to use the formula,
the first problem you run into is:  You need to remember the formula !

The formula is        D = 1/2 a T²

                   Distance = (1/2 acceleration) x (time in seconds)²

             Acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)
                                  =        (18 m/s)            /        (12 sec)
                                  =                      1.5 m/s² .

                  Distance  =  (1/2 x 1.5 m/s²) x (12 sec)²
                                  =       (0.75 m/s²)  x  (144 sec²)  =  108 meters .

lukranit [14]

Answer:

Option B

a=19 m/s^{2}

Explanation:

Given information

Radius of container, r=12cm=12/100=0.12m

Angular velocity= 2 rev/s, converted to rad/s we multiply by 2π

Angular velocity, \omega=2*2\pi =12.56637061

We know that speed, v=r\omega

Centripetal acceleration, a=\frac {v^{2}}{r} and substituting v=r\omega we obtain that

a=r\omega^{2}

Substituting \omega for 12.56637061  and r for 0.12

a=0.12*(12.56637061)^{2}=18.94964045 m/s^{2}

Rounded off, a=19 m/s^{2}
