Answer:

Explanation:

Potential energy is the energy of a body due to is virtue of rest.

Potential energy is given as mgh

g is a constant and it is 9.81m/s²

And also the mass of the body is given as 1.3kg

Now the height of the body is

He took a book to a storey building of height 26m

He still holds the book 151 cm (1.51m) above the house.

The house is on an altitude of 1609m from the sea level.

Total Ug with out the sea level is

Ug=mgh

Ug=1.3 × 9.81 ×(26+1.51)

Ug=350.84J

Then, the potential energy due to the sea level is given as

Ug=mgh

Where g = 1/6371 m/s²

Therefore

Ug=mgh

Ug=1.3 × 1/6371 ×1609

Ug=0.328J

Total energy = 0.328+350.84

Ug=351.17J

Two charges are placed on the x axis. One of the charges (q1 = +7.7 µC) is at x1 = +3.1 cm and the other (q2 = -19 µC) is at x2
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

a)E=50.53\times 10^{6}\ N/C

The direction will be negative direction.

b)E=268.22\times 10^{6}\ N/C

The direction will be positive direction.

Explanation:

Given that

q1 = +7.7 µC is at x1 = +3.1 cm

q2 = -19 µC is at x2 = +8.9 cm

We know that electric filed due to a charge given as

E=K\dfrac{q}{r^2}

E_1=K\dfrac{q_1}{r_1^2}

E_2=K\dfrac{q_2}{r_2^2}

Now by putting the va;ues

a)

E_1=9\times 10^9\times \dfrac{7.7\times 10^{-6}}{0.031^2}\ N/C

E_1=72.11\times 10^{6}\ N/C

E_2=9\times 10^9\times \dfrac{19\times 10^{-6}}{0.089^2}\ N/C

E_2=21.58\times 10^{6}\ N/C

The net electric field

E=E_1-E_2

E=50.53\times 10^{6}\ N/C

The direction will be negative direction.

As we know that electric filed line emerge from positive charge and concentrated at negative charge.

b)

Now

distance for charge 1 will become =5.5 - 3.1 = 2.4 cm

distance for charge 2 will become =8.9-5.5 = 3.4 cm

E_1=9\times 10^9\times \dfrac{7.7\times 10^{-6}}{0.024^2}\ N/C

E_1=120.3\times 10^{6}\ N/C

E_2=9\times 10^9\times \dfrac{19\times 10^{-6}}{0.034^2}\ N/C

E_2=147.92\times 10^{6}\ N/C

The net electric field

E=E_1+E_2

E=268.22\times 10^{6}\ N/C

The direction will be positive direction.

A 73-kg Norwegian olympian ski champion is going down a hill sloped at 39 ◦ . The coefficient of kinetic friction between the sk
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

Explanation:

net force on the skier = mg sin 39 - μ mg cos39

mg ( sin39 - μ cos39 )

= 73 x 9.8 ( .629 - .116)

= 367 N

impulse = net force x time = change in momentum .

= 367 x 5 = 1835 kg m /s

velocity of the skier after 5 s = 1835 / 73

= 25.13 m /s

b )

net force becomes zero

mg ( sin39 - μ cos39 ) = 0

μ = tan39

= .81

c )

net force becomes zero , so he will continue to go ahead with constant speed of 25.13 m /s

so he will have speed of 25.13 m /s after 5 s .

Nearly all conventional piston engines have flywheels on them to smooth out engine vibrations caused by the thrust of individual
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

This is because, the flywheel has a very large moment of Inertia and hence sudden piston torques have negligible effect on the flywheel, but every piston combined has a significant torque. This smoothens out the vibrations.
