Answer:

Kinetic energy cannot be negative

potential energy is a reference dependent quantity and it can be positive as well as negative both

Since potential energy is defined only for conservative force so it can not be found for friction force

Explanation:

Kinetic energy of an object is given by the formula

KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

here we know that

m = mass of object that can not be negative

v = speed of the object and since its square is given here so it can not be negative

so Kinetic energy is always positive

potential energy is given as the energy due to the virtue of the position of object

so it is

\Delta U = -\int F.dr

so potential energy is a reference dependent quantity and it can be positive as well as negative both

Since potential energy is defined only for conservative force so it can not be found for friction force

What current is needed in the solenoid's wires?
marta [7]
Using Ampere's Law, the magnetic field produced inside this solenoid is given by
B = uo N I / h
where uo is the vacuum permeability, N is the number of turns in the solenoid and h is the length of the solenoid. Earth's magnetic field is around 50 microteslas in North America thus the current needed in the solenoid is
I = B h / (uo N) = (50 E-6 ) (4) / ((4 pi E-7)(6000) ) = 0.026 A
I = 26 mA
So you need a current of around 26 mA.

You throw a stone horizontally at a speed of 5.0 m/s from the top of a cliff that is 78.4 m high.
Monica [59]

a)You throw a stone horizontally at a speed of 5.0 m/s from the top of a cliff that is 78.4 m high.

from above statement we got

height = 78.4 m

since the ball is thrown, so its vertical velocity would be zero

u = 0

taking g = 9.8m/s^2

now, using the equation of motion

h = ut + gt^2/2

now putting all the values in it

we got ,

78.4 = 9.8 * t^2/ 2

by solving we got,

t = 4 sec

b) now, since along the horizontal , no force acting and accelaration is zero so

R = ut , R is RANGE

R = 5 * 4

range =  20 m

c)  vertical components of the stone’s velocity just before it hits the ground = v sin θ =

horizontal   components of the stone’s velocity  just before it hits the ground = v cos θ

Calcular la resistencia de una varilla de grafito de 170 cm de longitud y 60 mm2. Resistividad grafito 3,5 10-5 Ωm
ozzi

Answer:

R = 0.992 Ω

Explanation:

En esta pregunta, dada la información que contiene, debemos calcular la resistencia de la varilla de grafito.

Matemáticamente,

Resistencia = (resistividad * longitud) / Área De la pregunta;

Resistividad = 3,5 * 10 ^ -5 Ωm

longitud = 170 cm = 1,7 m

Área = 60 mm ^ 2 = 60/1000000 = 6 * 10 ^ -5 m ^ 2

Conectando estos valores a la ecuación anterior, tenemos;

Resistencia = (3.5 * 10 ^ -5 * 1.7) / (6 * 10 ^ -5) =

(3.5 * 1.7) / 6 = 0.992 Ω
