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

While traveling along a highway a driver slows from 32 m/s and comes to a stop with an acceleration of -6 m/s2. How long did it

diamong [38]

Answer: 6s

Explanation:

Vs=32m/s speed at beginning of slowing down

Vf=0m/s stop speed

a= -6 m/s² acceleration

----------------

Use equation for acceleration :

a=(Vf-Vs)/t

a*t=Vf-Vs

t=(Vf-Vs)/a

t=(0-36)/-6

t=-36/-6

t=6 s

A coil of 40 turns is wrapped around a long solenoid of cross-sectional area 7.5×10−3m2. The solenoid is 0.50 m long and has 500

defon

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to mutual inductance in a solenoid.

This definition is described in the following equation as,

$M = \frac{\mu_0 N_1 N_2A_1}{l_1}$

Where,

$\mu =$ permeability of free space

$N_1 =$ Number of turns in solenoid 1

$N_2 =$ Number of turns in solenoid 2

$A_1=$ Cross sectional area of solenoid

l = Length of the solenoid

Part A )

Our values are given as,

$\mu_0 = 4\pi *10^{-7}H/m$

$N_1 = 500$

$N_2 = 40$

$A = 7.5*10^{-4}m^2$

$l = 0.5m$

Substituting,

$M = \frac{\mu_0 N_1 N_2A_2}{l_1}$

$M = \frac{(4\pi *10^{-7})(500)(40)(7.5*10^{-4})}{0.5}$

$M = 3.77*10^{-4}H$

PART B) Considering that many of the variables remain unchanged in the second solenoid, such as the increase in the radius or magnetic field, we can conclude that mutual inducantia will appear the same.

Two equal point charges QQQ are separated by a distance ddd. One of the charges is released and moves away from the other due on

lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

The kinetic energy K of the moving charge is K = 2kQ²/3d = 2Q²/(4πε)3d = Q²/6πεd

Explanation:

The potential energy due to two charges q₁ and q₂ at a distance d from each other is given by U = kq₁q₂/r.

Now, for the two charges q₁ = q₂ = Q separated by a distance d, the initial potential energy is U₁ = kQ²/d. The initial kinetic energy of the system K₁ = 0 since there is no motion of the charges initially. When the moving charge is at a distance of r = 3d, the potential energy of the system is U₂ = kQ²/3d and the kinetic energy is K₂.

From the law of conservation of energy, U₁ + K₁ = U₂ + K₂

So, kQ²/d + 0 = kQ²/3d + K

K₂ = kQ²/d - kQ²/3d = 2kQ²/3d

So, the kinetic energy K₂ of the moving charge is K₂ = 2kQ²/3d = 2Q²/(4πε)3d = Q²/6πεd
