We are given:

m1 = 300 grams
m2 = 500 grams
h1 = h2 = 2 meters

We have to determine the potential energy of both toy cars:

PE = mgh
PE1 = m1gh1
PE1 = 300 grams/1000g/kg * 9.81 m/s^2 * 2 meters
PE1 = 5.886 Joules

PE2 = m2gh2
PE2 = 500 grams/1000g/kg * 9.81 m/s^2 * 2 meters
PE2 = 9.81 Joules

PE2 - PE1 / PE2

9.81 - 5.886 Joules / 9.81 joules * 100 = 40.0%

Therefore, the 500-gram car is greater by 40% in terms of potential energy than the 300-gram car. This is because mass is directly proportional to the potential energy of an object.

Answer:

66.67% of 500 g Potential energy is greater than that of 300 g of Potential energy.

Explanation:

Height of 300 g mass=h_{1}= 2 m

Height of 500 g mass=h_{2}=2 m

h_{1}=h_{2}

and also gravity remains constant

hence

% of potential energy of 500 g greater than of 300 g=((500-300)/300)*100

% of potential energy greater=(2/3)*100

% of potential energy greater=66.67%

For a 50 kV anode voltage, what is the maximum photon energy of the x-ray radiation?
V125BC [204]

Answer:

The energy of photon, E=8\times 10^{-15}\ J

Explanation:

It is given that,

Voltage of anode, V=50\ kV=50\times 10^3\ V=5\times 10^4\ V

We need to find the maximum energy of the photon of the x- ray radiation. The energy required to raise an electron through one volt is called electron volt.

E=eV

e is charge of electron

E=1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 5\times 10^4

E=8\times 10^{-15}\ J

So, the maximum energy of the x- ray radiation is 8\times 10^{-15}\ J. Hence, this is the required solution.

Put the following events in the order they occurred to lead to the formation of the solar system:
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

Third → First → Second → Fourth

Explanation:

Initially helium and Hydrogen in abundance started to form atoms

Following the atoms formation by hydrogen and helium bombardment of new matter into the Earth took place.

The bombardment of matter resulted in separation of Earth into respective layers based on the weight of the matter.

A primitive ocean was created as a result of off gassing of the volcanoes.

Two cars start from rest at a red stop light. When the light turns green, both cars accelerate forward. The blue car accelerates
saul85 [17]
First, create an illustration of the motion of the two cars as shown in the attached picture. The essential equations used is

For constant acceleration:
a = v,final - v,initial /t

The solutions is as follows:

 a = v,final - v,initial /t
 3.8 = (v - 0)/2.8 s
 v = 10.64 m/s
 After 2.8 seconds, the speed of the blue car is 10.64 m/s.
