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.

A basketball is held over head at a height of 2.4 m. The ball is lobbed to a teammate at 8 m/s at an angle of 40'. If the ball i

cupoosta [38]

Explanation:

since both the teammates are of the same height, their height won't matter. Because now the basketball won't cover any vertical distance.

We have to calculate its range the horizontal distance covered by it when tossed from one teammate to the other.

range can be calculated by the formula :-

$\boxed{\mathfrak{range = \frac{ u {}^{2} \sin 2\theta }{g} }}$

u is the velocity during its take off and $\theta$ is the angle at which its thrown

Given that

u = 8m/ s
$\theta$ = 40°

calculating range using the above formula

$= \frac{ {8}^{2} \sin2(40) }{10}$

$= \frac{64 \times \sin(80) }{10}$

value of sin 80 = 0. 985

$= \frac{64 \times 0.985}{10}$

$= \frac{63.027}{10}$

$= 6.3027$

Hence,

$\mathfrak { \blue{the \: teammate \: is \: \red{\underline{6.3027 \: meters} }\: away } }$

An airplane flies eastward and always accelerates at a constant rate. At one position along its path, it has a velocity of 34.5

Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

the acceleration of the airplane is 5.06 x 10⁻³ m/s²

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity of the airplane. u = 34.5 m/s

distance traveled by the airplane, s = 46,100 m

final velocity of the airplane, v = 40.7 m/s

The acceleration of the airplane is calculated from the following kinematic equation;

v² = u² + 2as

$2as= v^2 - u^2\\\\a = \frac{v^2 - u^2}{2s} \\\\a = \frac{(40.7)^2 -(34.5)^2}{2 \times 46,100} \\\\a = 5.06 \ \times \ 10^{-3} \ m/s^2$

Therefore, the acceleration of the airplane is 5.06 x 10⁻³ m/s²

A small grinding wheel has a moment of inertia of 4.0*10-5kgm2. What net torque must be applied to the wheel for its angular acc

kvv77 [185]

Hi there!

We can use the rotational equivalent of Newton's Second Law:

$\huge\boxed{\Sigma \tau = I \alpha}$

Στ = Net Torque (Nm)

I = Moment of inertia (kgm²)

α = Angular acceleration (rad/sec²)

We can plug in the given values to solve.

$\Sigma \tau = (4 * 10^{-5})(150) = \boxed{0.006 Nm}$

A block of ice at 0°C is added to a 150g aluminum calorimeter cup which holds 210 g of water at 12°C. If all but 2.0 g of ice me

Over [174]

Answer:

original mass of the block of ice is 38.34 gram

Explanation:

Given data

cup mass = 150 g

ice temperature = 0°C

water mass = 210 g

water temperature = 12°C

ice melt = 2 gram

to find out

solution

we know here

specific heat of aluminum is c = 0.900 joule/gram °C

Specific heat of water C = 4.186 joule/gram °C

so here temperature difference is dt = 12- 0 = 12°C

so here heat lost by water and cup are given by

heat lost = cup mass × c × dt + water mass × C × dt

heat lost = 150 × 0.900 × 12 + 210 × 4.186 × 12

heat lost = 12168.72 J

mass of ice melt here = heat lost / latent heat of fusion

here we know latent heat of fusion = 334.88 joule/gram

mass of ice melt = 12168.72 / 334.88

mass of ice melt is 36.337554 gram

so mass of ice is here = mass of ice melt + ice melt

mass of ice = 36.337554 + 2

mass of ice = 38.337554 gram

so original mass of the block of ice is 38.34 gram

Why is the light bulb not a closed system?

Nana76 [90]

Answer:An incandescent light bulb gives only energy of the system in the form of heat. ... The roof of a house is stable but it receives energy from the surroundings and transfers energy through it towards lower temperature side which includes no mass transfer. So, it is best considered as closed system.
