Imagine you are holding an apple. how could you increase the potential energy of this apple?

1 answer:

6 0

If you're holding the apple at your waist, lift it to your mouth.
Potential energy relative to any level is proportional to its height
above that level. Increase that height, and you've increased the
potential energy.

Since energy is conserved ... it never magically appears or
disappears ... you need to tell where that extra energy for the
apple came from.

It's exactly the work you did ... the force of your muscles acting
through the distance you raised the apple ... that became the
additional potential energy that the apple gained.

How long will it take you to travel 20 miles on a bus that drives 60 miles/h?

ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

<u>20 Minutes</u>

<u></u>

Explanation:

Well we know Mph (Miles per hour) is distance over time : $\frac{distance}{time} \\$

R (rate) = 60

d (distance) = 20

t (time) = Unknown

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

R = $\frac{d}{t}$

↓

60 = $\frac{20}{t}$

↓

t = $\frac{20}{60}$

↓

t = $\frac{1}{3}$ or 0.3333

<em>So basically it would take one third of an hour. Lets change these units to minutes.</em>

60 * 0.333333 = 20

<em>So it would take you </em><u><em>20 minutes</em></u><em> to drive 20 miles on a bus that drives 60 mph</em>

<em />

Hope that helps

Why isn’t a bird sitting on a high-voltage power line electrocuted? Contrast this with the situation in which a large bird hits

Grace [21]

Answer:

The reason the bird is not electrocuted is due to some facts about circuit:

1. Completeness of circuit- This circuit needs to be

complete in order for current to flow. The bird standing on only one wire has not completed the circuit.

2. A potential difference: Another factor deciding

the direction of flow of current is (electric)

potential. Current always flows from a higher

potential to a lower potential. In other words it

can be said that electrons flow from lower

potential to higher one. (the direction of electric

current is opposite to that of the electrons). So

we need the potential difference for current to

flow. The bird standing on only one wire has no potential difference.

3. Path of least Resistance- Factor that decides

the path a current will flow in case of parallel

paths is the (electric) resistance offered by the

path. Current will always flow in the path that

offers least resistance. The leg of a bird has high resistance.

Explanation:

It has no potential difference as both the legs of bird are touching the same wire at same constant potential. ... If the bird would touch the ground while sitting on the wire or flap its wings and touch another electric wire with a different voltage, then it would get shocked and likely die by electrocution.

while in the other hand, the Bird that touches two wires with it wings at the same time will get electrocuted because it has completed a circuit and the its feathers created a potential difference .

A cyclotron with a magnetic field of 0.47 t is designed to accelerate protons in a circle with a radius 0.68 m. What is the angu

Ghella [55]

The angular frequency of the cyclotron is 0.07 x $10^{8}$ Hz.

<h3>What is angular frequency?</h3>

Angular frequency, abbreviated "ω" is a scalar measure of rotation rate in physics.
It describes the rate of change of the argument of the sine function, the rate of change of the phase of a sinusoidal waveform, or the angular displacement per unit of time.

<h3>What is cyclotron?</h3>

The cyclotron device is made to accelerate charge particles to extremely high speeds by applying crossed electric and magnetic fields.

<h3>Calculation of angular frequency:</h3>

Given,

B = 0.47 T

r = 0.68

mass of proton = 1.6x $10^{-27}$
