Answer: higher and lower

Explanation:

charge in an electric field will experience a force in the direction of decreasing potential energy. Since the electric potential energy of a negative charge is equal to the charge times the electric potential the direction of decreasing electric potential energy is the direction of increasing electric potential.

if a runners power is 400 watts as she runs, how much chemical energy does she convert into other forms in 10 minutes

AnnZ [28]

Answer:

Energy converted = $240000\,Joules = 240\, kJoules$

Explanation:

Recall that Power is the rate at which energy is transferred therefore defined by the mathematical formula: $Power\,=\,\frac{Energy\,transferred}{time}$

Since the information on the power of the runner is given, as well as the time the energy conversion takes place, we can then use this equation to find how much energy is been converted. Notice that we just need to change the given time *10 minutes) into the appropriate units (seconds)to get the answer in SI units of energy (Joules). The conversion of 10 minutes into seconds is done by multiplying : 10 minutes * 60 seconds/minute = 600 seconds.

We use this then to find the energy converted by the runner:

$Power\,=\,\frac{Energy\,transferred}{time}\\400 \,W = \frac{E}{600\,sec} \\400 \,W * 600\,sec=E\\E=240000\,Joules = 240\, kJoules$

Two power lines run parallel for a distance of 220 m and are separated by a distance of 40.0 cm. If the current in each of the t

daser333 [38]

Answer:

The magnitude of force is 1.86 N and the direction of force is towards the other wire.

Explanation:

Given:

Current flowing through each power line, I = 130 A

Distance between the two power lines, d = 40 cm = 0.4 m

Length of power lines, L = 220 m

The force exerted by the power lines on each other is given by the relation:

$F = \frac{\mu_{0}LII }{2\pi d}$

Substitute the suitable values in the above equation.

$F = \frac{4\pi\times10^{-7}\times220\times130\times130 }{2\pi\times0.4}$

F = 1.86 N

Since the direction of current flowing through the power lines are opposite to each other, so the force is attractive in nature. Hence, the direction of force experienced by the power lines on each other is towards the each other.

7. A force of 100 N acting on a body gives it a speed of 200 m/s in 2

alekssr [168]

Answer:

Choice a. 1 kg, assuming that all other forces on the object (if any) are balanced.

Explanation:

By Newton's Second Law,

$\displaystyle a = \frac{\Sigma F}{m}$ ,

where

$a$ is the acceleration of the object in $\text{m}\cdot\text{s}^{-2}$ ,
$\Sigma F$ is the net force on the object in Newtons, and
$m$ is the mass of the object in kilograms.

As a result,

$\displaystyle m = \frac{\Sigma F}{a}$ .

Assume that all other forces on this object are balanced. The net force on the object will be $100\;\text{N}$ . The net force is constant. Acceleration should also be constant and the same as the average acceleration in the two seconds.

<h3>What is the average acceleration of this object?</h3>

$\displaystyle \begin{aligned}\text{Acceleration} &= \text{Average Acceleration}=\frac{\text{Change in Velocity}}{\text{Time Taken}}\end{aligned}$ .

$\displaystyle {a} = \frac{200\;\text{m}\cdot\text{s}^{-1}}{2\;\text{s}}=100\;\text{m}\cdot\text{s}^{-2}$ .

<h3>Apply Newton's Second Law to find the mass of the object.</h3>

$\displaystyle m = \frac{\Sigma F}{a} = \frac{100\;\text{N}}{100\;\text{m}\cdot\text{s}^{-2}} = 1\;\text{kg}$ .
