A block with a mass of 8.7 kg is dropped from rest from a height of 8.7 m, and remains at rest after hitting the ground. 1)If we

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to gravitational potential energy.

This can be defined as the product between mass, gravity and body height.

Mathematically it can be expressed as

\Delta P = mgh

\Delta P = (8.7)(9.8)(3)

\Delta P = 255.78J

Therefore the change in the internal energy of the system is 255.78

You and your friends are going on a picnic in a very small car. On your way, the car breaks down and you try to push it to get i
zaharov [31]

Answer:

The pushing of the car by you and your friends is the applied force and when the car moves, it means that the velocity has changed thus causing the movement or acceleration.

Explanation:

Newton's work on forces regarding motion can never be neglected by scientists. Sir Isaac Newton when he was alive, among several of his works he proposed the three laws guiding the forces of motion. In this question we are only going to be treating only one out of the three Newton's Law of motion and that is the second Law Of Newton's laws of motion.

The second Law Of Newton's laws of motion states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the applied force and inversely proportional to the object's mass.

(1). Now, to the question: " How are you and your friends applying Newton's second law of motion here? "

The pushing of the car by you and your friends is the applied force and when the car moves, it means that the velocity has changed thus causing the movement or acceleration.

According to the law, the more the Force, the more the acceleration.

(2). For the second part of the question, " What if the car you were traveling in was a large SUV?"

From the law stated above we see that the acceleration is inversely proportional to the mass, thus if the car is a large SUV, It means that more force is needed to change the car's velocity.

A uniform electric field is created by two parallel plates separated by a distance of 0.04 m. What is the magnitude of the elect
FromTheMoon [43]

Complete question:

A uniform electric field is created by two parallel plates separated by a

distance of 0.04 m. What is the magnitude of the electric field established

between the plates if the potential of the first plate is +40V and the second

one is -40V?

Answer:

The magnitude of the electric field established between the plates is 2,000 V/m

Explanation:

Given;

distance between two parallel plates, d = 0.04 m

potential between first and second plate, = +40V and -40V respectively

The magnitude of the electric field established between the plates is calculated as;

E = ΔV / d

where;

ΔV is change in potential between two parallel plates;

d is the distance between the plates

ΔV = V₁ -V₂

ΔV = 40 - (-40)

ΔV = 40 + 40

ΔV = 80 V

E = ΔV / d

E = 80 / 0.04

E = 2,000 V/m

Therefore, the magnitude of the electric field established between the plates is 2,000 V/m

Two parallel plates 19 cm on a side are given equal and opposite charges of magnitude 2.0 ✕ 10^−9 C. The plates are 1.8 mm apart
Romashka [77]

Answer:

E   = 5291.00 N/C

Explanation:

Expression for capacitance is

C = \frac{\epsilon  A}{d}

where

A is area of square plate

D = DISTANCE BETWEEN THE PLATE

C = \frac{\epsilon\times(19\times 10^{-2})^2}{1.5\times 10^{-3}}

C = 24.06 \epsilon

C = 24.06\times 8.854\times 10^{-12} F

C =2.1\times 10^{-10} F

We know that capacitrnce and charge is related as

V = \frac{Q}{C}

 = \frac{2\tiimes 10^{-9}}{2.\times 10^{-10}}

v = 9.523 V

Electric field is given as

E = \frac{V}{d}

   = \frac{9.52}{1.8*10^{-3}}

E   = 5291.00 V/m

E   = 5291.00 N/C

A particle with a charge of 2e moves between two points which have a potential difference of 75V. What is the change in potentia
Sonbull [250]
Electric potential energy is defined as Ep=Q*V where Q is the magnitude of the charge and V is the potential difference. So when a charge moves between the points that have a potential difference, it's energy changes. 

In our case: 

Q=2e=2*(-1.6*10^-19) C
V=75 V

Ep=(-3.2*10^-19)*75

Ep=-2.4*10^-17 J

The change in potential energy of the charge is -2.4*10^-17 J
