The list of choices you provided with your question
is utterly devoid of any such examples.

You did not give any answers to choose from. So I'll just explain to you what the difference is.

Kinetic energy means the object is in motion, or is moving.

Potential energy means the object is not moving, but it has the potential to.

Example:
You are holding your phone in your hand one foot above the ground and you are not moving it at all (Potential energy). You then drop your phone and it begins to fall (Kinetic energy).

Now, you hold your phone in your hand 6 feet above the ground and you are not moving it at all (More Potential energy). You then drop your phone and it begins to fall.. very very hard... (More Kinetic Energy).

Permanent magnet. An induced magnet would be created when a piece of iron (for example) is in contact with a magnet. Temporary magnets would be something like an electromagnet. Bar magnets are permanently magnetic unless we heat them or hammer them to cause their domains to loose alignment.

The electric current in a wire is 1.5A. How many electrons flow past a given point in a time of 2s?

kipiarov [429]

Answer:

The amount of electrons that flow in the given time is 3.0 C.

Explanation:

An electric current is defined as the ratio of the quantity of charge flowing through a conductor to the time taken.

i.e I = $\frac{Q}{t}$ ...................(1)

It is measure in Amperes and can be measured in the laboratory by the use of an ammeter.

In the given question, I = 1.5A, t = 2s, find Q.

From equation 1,

Q = I × t

= 1.5 × 2

= 3.0 Coulombs

The amount of electrons that flow in the given time is 3.0 C.

We have two solenoids: solenoid 2 has twice the diameter, half the length, and twice as many turns as solenoid 1. The current in

leva [86]

Answer:

the field at the center of solenoid 2 is 12 times the field at the center of solenoid 1.

Explanation:

Recall that the field inside a solenoid of length L, N turns, and a circulating current I, is given by the formula:

$B=\mu_0\, \frac{N}{L} I$

Then, if we assign the subindex "1" to the quantities that define the magnetic field ( $B_1$ ) inside solenoid 1, we have:

$B_1=\mu_0\, \frac{N_1}{L_1} I_1$

notice that there is no dependence on the diameter of the solenoid for this formula.

Now, if we write a similar formula for solenoid 2, given that it has :

1) half the length of solenoid 1 . Then $L_2=L_1/2$

2) twice as many turns as solenoid 1. Then $N_2=2\,N_1$

3) three times the current of solenoid 1. Then $I_2=3\,I_1$

we obtain:

$B_2=\mu_0\, \frac{N_2}{L_2} I_2\\B_2=\mu_0\, \frac{2\,N_1}{L_1/2} 3\,I_1\\B_2=\mu_0\, 12\,\frac{N_1}{L_1} I_1\\B_2=12\,B_1$

Walt ran 5 kilometers in 25 minutes going eastward what is his average velocity

Alex777 [14]

Answer:

1/5 km/min

Explanation:

the formula for velocity is distance/time

so if i plug in the distance and time i get 5/25 or 1/5

Hope this helps!

The block slides on a horizontal frictionless surface. The block has a mass of 1.0kg and is pushed 5.0N at 45°. What is the magn

Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

$3.5\:\mathrm{m/s^2}$

Explanation:

Newton's 2nd law is given as $\Sigma F = ma$ .

To find the acceleration in the horizontal direction, you need the horizontal component of the force being applied.

Using trigonometry to find the horizontal component of the force:

$\cos 45^{\circ}=\frac{x}{5},\\\frac{\sqrt{2}}{{2}}=\frac{x}{5},\\x=\frac{5\sqrt{2}}{2}$

Use this horizontal component of the force to solve for for the acceleration of the object:

$\frac{5\sqrt{2}}{2}=1.0\cdot a,\\a=\frac{5\sqrt{2}}{2}\approx \boxed{3.5\:\mathrm{m/s^2}}$
