Answer:E

252

Explanation:

The total mechanical energy of an object or system is given by:

Where

is the kinetic energy of the object and

is the potential energy of the object. The carriage, sitting motionless at the top of the hill, has only potential energy in the form of gravitational potential energy.

Gravitational potential energy is given by:

Where

is the mass of the object,

is the gravitational acceleration constant, and

is the height of the object above some specific reference point, in this case the ground

below.

The weight of a stationary object at the surface of the earth is equal to the force of gravity acting on the object.

→

We are given that the carriage weighs

Two identical conducting spheres, A and B, carry equal charge. They are stationary and are separated by a distance much larger t

podryga [215]

Answer:

8F_i = 3F_f

Explanation:

When two identical spheres are touched to each other, they equally share the total charge. Therefore, When neutral C is first touch to A, they share the initial charge of A equally.

Let us denote that the initial charge of A and B are Q. Then after C is touched to A, their respective charges are Q/2.

Then, C is touched to B, and they share the total charge of Q + Q/2 = 3Q/2. Their respective charges afterwards is 3Q/4 each.

The electrostatic force, Fi, in the initial configuration can be calculated as follows.

$F_i = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{q_Aq_B}{r^2} = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{Q^2}{r^2}[/tex}The electrostatic force, Ff, in the final configuration is [tex]F_f = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{q_Aq_B}{r^2} = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{3Q^2/8}{r^2}[/tex}Therefore, the relation between Fi and Ff is as follows[tex]F_i = F_f\frac{3}{8}\\8F_i = 3F_f$

A hypodermic needle consists of a plunger of circular cross-section that slides inside a hollow cylindrical syringe. when the pl

Blababa [14]

The fluid that is being passed through the syringe and needle is incompressible, which means that it will transmit pressure equally. Therefore, the pressure on the plunger will be equivalent to the pressure on the needle. We also know that:

Pressure = Force / Area

Pressure on plunger = 4 / (π*(0.012/2)²)
Pressure on plunger = 35.4 kPa
Pressure on needle = 35.4 kPa

35.4 kPa = F / (4 / (π*(0.0025/2)²)
F = 0.17 N

The force on the needle is 0.17 N

An electric dipole consisting of charges of magnitude 1.70 nC separated by 6.80 μm is in an electric field of strength 1160 N/C.

bazaltina [42]

Answer:

p = 1.16 10⁻¹⁴ C m and ΔU = 2.7 10 -11 J

Explanation:

The dipole moment of a dipole is the product of charges by distance

p = 2 a q

With 2a the distance between the charges and the magnitude of the charges

p = 1.7 10⁻⁹ 6.8 10⁻⁶

p = 1.16 10⁻¹⁴ C m

The potential energie dipole is described by the expression

U = - p E cos θ

Where θ is the angle between the dipole and the electric field, the zero value of the potential energy is located for when the dipole is perpendicular to the electric field line

Orientation parallel to the field

θ = 0º

U = 1.16 10⁻¹⁴ 1160 cos 0

U1 = 1.35 10⁻¹¹ J

Antiparallel orientation

θ = 180º

cos 180 = -1

U2 = -1.35 10⁻¹¹ J

The difference in energy between these two configurations is the subtraction of the energies

ΔU = | U1 -U2 |

ΔU = 1.35 10-11 - (-1.35 10-11)

ΔU = 2.7 10 -11 J

The escape velocity is defined to be the minimum speed with which an object of mass m must move to escape from the gravitational

s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

v = √2G $M_{earth}$ / R

Explanation:

For this problem we use energy conservation, the energy initiated is potential and kinetic and the final energy is only potential (infinite r)

Eo = K + U = ½ m1 v² - G m1 m2 / r1

Ef = - G m1 m2 / r2

When the body is at a distance R> Re, for the furthest point (r2) let's call it Rinf

Eo = Ef

½ m1v² - G m1 $M_{earth}$ / R = - G m1 $M_{earth}$ / R

v² = 2G $M_{earth}$ (1 / R - 1 / Rinf)

If we do Rinf = infinity 1 / Rinf = 0

v = √2G $M_{earth}$ / R

Ef = = - G m1 m2 / R

The mechanical energy is conserved

Em = -G m1 $M_{earth}$ / R

Em = - G m1 $M_{earth}$ / R

R = int ⇒ Em = 0

A person walks due south from point A for 500 yards and then due west for 300 yards, arriving at point B. Answer the following q

Pepsi [2]

The total displacement of the person walking from point A to point B is 300 yards.

As shown in the figure we can conclude that the required method to calculate the total displacement is the Pythagoras theorem.

<h3>Pythagoras theorem in brief :</h3>

According to the Pythagorean Theorem, the square that represents the hypotenuse, or side of a right triangle that faces the right angle, is equal to the total of the squares on the triangle's legs.(or, in popular algebraic notation, $a^2 + b^2 = c^2$ ).
