The potential energy of any object depends on its mass as well as its height off the ground.

Potential energy = mass x gravity x height.

We don't have enough information to compare the potential energies of these two objects because we don't know their masses.

The moon's mass is 7.34x10-kg and it is 3.8x10m away from earth. Calculate the gravitational force of attraction between earth a
Nana76 [90]
Again I think you did not give the right constants. So I would use the correct constants for mass of moon and distance from earth to moon.

<span>The formula for force of attraction between any two bodies in the universe
F  =  GMm / r^2.      (Newton's Universal law of Gravitation).

G = Universal gravitational constant, G = 6.67 * 10 ^ -11  Nm^2 / kg^2.
M = Mass of Earth. = 5.97 x 10^24 kg.
m = mass of moon = 7.34 x 10^22  kg.
r = distance apart, between centers = in this case it is the distance from Earth to the Moon
   = 3.8 x 10^8 m.

(Sorry I could not assume with the values you gave, they are wrong, and if we use them we would be insulting Physics).


So F = ((6.67 * 10 ^ -11)*(5.97 x 10^24)*(7.34 * 10^22)) / (3.8 x 10^8)^2.
  Punch it all up in your calculator.
 
I used a Casio 991 calculator, it should be one of the best in the world.Really lovely calculator, that has helped me a lot in computations like this. I am thankful for the Calculator.

F = 2.0240 * 10^ 20 N.
So that's our answer.
Hurray!!</span>

Uma partícula com carga “Q”, no vácuo, gera um potencial elétrico de 600 volts a uma distância de 6,0 m, determine o valor dessa
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

q =  400 nC

the correct answer is b

Explanation:

The expression for the electric potential of a point charge is

            V = k q / r

they ask us for the electrical charge

          q = V r / k

let's calculate

         Q = 600 6.0 / 9 10⁹

         Q = 4 10⁻⁷ C

let's reduce to nC

          Q = 4 10⁻⁷ C (10⁹ nC / 1C)

          q = 4 10² nC = 400 nC

the correct answer is b

La expresión para el potencial eléctrico de una carga puntual es

            V = k q/r

nos piden la carga eléctrica

          q= V r /k

          calculemos

         Q= 600  6,0 / 9 10⁹

         Q=  4 10⁻⁷ C

reduzcamos a nC

          Q = 4 10⁻⁷ C(10⁹ nC/1C )  

          q = 4 10² nC = 400 nC

la respuesta correcta es b

The engine of a 2250 kg car propels the vehicle with 5625 N of force. Find the acceleration of the car.
lana [24]

Answer: 2.5m/s^2

Explanation:

Mass of car = 2250 kg

Force = 5625 N

Acceleration of the car = ?

Recall that Force is the product of mass of an object and acceleration by which it moves.

i.e Force = Mass x acceleration

5625 N = 2250 kg x acceleration

Acceleration = (5625 N / 2250 kg)

Acceleration = 2.5m/s^2

Thus, the acceleration of the car is 2.5 metres per second square.

A force of 20 N compresses a spring with a spring constant 50 N/m. How much energy is stored in the spring?
Alex787 [66]

Answer:

4J

Explanation:

Hooke's Law states:

F = -kx

where F = force

k = spring constant

x = displacement of spring

20 = -(50)x

-20/50 = x = -2/5

We can now use this information to find the energy in the Elastic Potential Energy Formula which is...

1/2(k)(x)^2

1/2(50)(2/5)^2 = 4J
