It is 10.20 m from the ground.

<u>Explanation:</u>

<u>Given:</u>

m = 0.5 kg

PE = 50 J

We know that the Potential energy is calculated by the formula:

P. E = m \times g \times h

where m is the is mass in kg;  g  is acceleration due to gravity which is 9.8 m/s  and  h  is height in meters.

PE is the Potential Energy.

Potential Energy is the amount of energy stored when an object is stationary.

Here, if we substitute the values in the formula, we get

P. E = m \times g \times h

50 = 0.5 × 9.8 × h

50 = 4.9 × h

h = \frac {50} {4.9}

h = 10.20 m

What feature best distinguishes one form of electromagnetic energy from another?
anastassius [24]

The family of electromagnetic waves ranges from the Long Radio waves to the gama rays.

All of that contain electromagnetic energy and move at the speed of light.

But what distinguish one from another is their wavelengh.

Or, if you like, its counterpart: their frequency. (as can be seen in the equation c = λ . f   where c is the speed of light, λ is the wavelengh and f is the frequency).

The shorter the wavelengh (the greater the frequency) more powerful (more energy it contains) is the electromagnetic wave.

From all the different kinds of electromagnetic waves of the spectrum, the less powerful (less energetic) are the Long Radio waves (λ in metres) and the more powerful ones are the gama rays (λ in 10^{-12} m).

Why is charge usually transferred by electrons rather than by protons?
Alexus [3.1K]
This is because most of the atom cannot move due to being held in place by surronding atoms, but electrons can move around and travel

I have a problem in this questions?
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

8.46E+1

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Charge 1 (q₁) = 39 C

Charge 2 (q₂) = –53 C

Force (F) of attraction = 26×10⁸ N

Electrical constant K) = 9×10⁹ Nm²/C²

Distance apart (r) =?

The distance between the two charges can be obtained as follow:

F = Kq₁q₂ / r²

26×10⁸ = 9×10⁹ × 39 × 53 / r²

26×10⁸ = 1.8603×10¹³ / r²

Cross multiply

26×10⁸ × r² = 1.8603×10¹³

Divide both side by 26×10⁸

r² = 1.8603×10¹³ / 26×10⁸

r² = 7155

Take the square root of both side

r = √7155

r = 84.6 m

r = 8.46E+1 m
