What is the potential energy of a 2,000-kg car parked at the top of a 30-m hill?

Potential energy is a relative measure, so the answer is dependent on the assumptions we make. The potential energy in the car is going to be gravitational potential energy(PE). PE = mgh, where m is the mass, g is 9.8 m/s^2, and h is the height. So PE = 2000*9.8*h = 19600h. The final answer obviously depends on h. Most likely the problem is assuming that 30 meters under the top of the hill is considered 0 meters. Then h would be 30m and PE would equal 588 kJ.

Calculate the radius of the orbit of a proton moving at 2.2x10^6 m/s in a magnetic field 0.7 T where v and B are perpendicular.
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

3.28 cm

Explanation:

To solve this problem, you need to know that a magnetic field B perpendicular to the movement of a proton that moves at a velocity v will cause a Force F experimented by the particle that is orthogonal to both the velocity and the magnetic Field. When a particle experiments a Force orthogonal to its velocity, the path it will follow will be circular. The radius of said circle can be calculated using the expression:

r = \frac{mv}{qB}

Where m is the mass of the particle, v is its velocity, q is its charge and B is the magnitude of the magnetic field.

The mass and  charge of a proton are:

m = 1.67 * 10^-27 kg

q = 1.6 * 10^-19 C

So, we get that the radius r will be:

r =  \frac{1.67 * 10^-27 kg * 2.2*10^6 m/s}{1.6 * 10^-19 C* 0.7 T} = 0.0328 m, or 3.28  cm.

DESCRIBE floods and droughts. What are their effects? EXPLAIN how they can be prevented
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

<u>EFFECTS: ( doughts)</u>

  1. There would be less water in the river for you and other people who live along the river to use.
  2. If we use too much water during times of normal rainfall, we might not have enough water when a drought happens.

<u>EFFECTS:( FLOODS)</u>

  1. The immediate impacts of flooding include loss of human life, damage to property, destruction of crops, loss of livestock, and deterioration of health conditions owing to waterborne diseases.
  2. power plants, roads and bridges are damaged and disrupted, some economic activities may come to a standstill, people are forced to leave their homes and normal life is disrupted.

How to prevent from flooding is :

  1. Construct buildings above flood levels.
  2. Tackle climate change

How to prevent from droughts :

  1. drought trends that may occur based on statistical and actual weather forecasts.
  2. In the U.S., the U.S. Drought Monitor provides a day-by-day visual of the drought conditions around the country.

* Hopefully this helps:) Mark me the brainliest:)!!!

In a thunder and lightning storm there is a rule of thumb that many people follow. After seeing the lightning, count seconds to
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

2.837% less than actual value.

Explanation:

Based on given information let's calculate our value.

S = Vxt = 331m/s x 5s = 1655m, that is the total distance that sound would travel in 5 seconds.

1mile = 1609.34meters.

percentage error is.

\frac{actual-calculated}{actual} *100 = \frac{1609.34-1655}{1609.34} *100 = -2.83%

negative indicates less than actual value.

Can someone help?
laila [671]

Answer:

i) 21 cm

ii) At infinity behind the lens.

iii) A virtual, upright, enlarged image behind the object

Explanation:

First identify,

object distance (u) = 42 cm (distance between  object and lens, 50 cm - 8 cm)

image distance (v) = 42 cm (distance between  image and lens, 92 cm - 50 cm)

The lens formula,

\frac{1}{v} -\frac{1}{u} =\frac{1}{f}

Then applying the new Cartesian sign convention to it,

\frac{1}{v} +\frac{1}{u} =\frac{1}{f}

Where f is (-), u is (+) and  v is (-) in  all 3  cases. (If not values with signs have to considered, this method that need will not arise)

Substituting values you get,

i) \frac{1}{42} +\frac{1}{42} =\frac{1}{f}\\\frac{2}{42} =\frac{1}{f}

f = 21 cm

ii) u =21 cm, f = 21 cm v = ?

Substituting in same equation\frac{1}{v} =\frac{1}{21} =\frac{1}{21} \\\\\frac{1}{v} = 0\\

  v ⇒ ∞ and image will form behind the lens

iii) Now the object will be within the focal length of the lens. So like in the attachment, a virtual, upright, enlarged image behind the object.
