Answer:

doubled

Explanation:

The energy possessed by the virtue of position or configuration of the body is called potential energy of the body.

The formula for the potential energy is given by

P.E = m g h

Where, m be the mass of the body, g be the acceleration due to gravity and h be the height.

So, if the height is doubled, the potential energy is also doubled.

Potential energy due to gravity = Ep = mgh [symbols have their usual meaning ]
Evidently, HALVING the mass will make Ep , HALF its previous value. So, It will be halved.

mart [117]

Answer:

diameter of largest orbit is 0.60 m

Explanation:

given data

isotopes accelerates KE = 6.5 MeV

magnetic field B = 1.2 T

to find out

diameter

solution

first we find velocity from kinetic energy equation

KE = 1/2 × m×v² ........1

6.5 × 1.6 × $10^{-19}$ = 1/2 × 1.672 × $10^{-27}$ ×v²

v = 3.5 × $10^{7}$ m/s

radius will be

radius = $\frac{m*v}{B*q}$ ........2

radius = $\frac{1.672*10^{-27}*3.5*10^{7}}{1.2*1.6*10^{-19}}$

radius = 0.30

so diameter = 2 × 0.30

so diameter of largest orbit is 0.60 m

How does the speed of an object relate to the energy of the object

Ann [662]

Answer:

Increasing the speed of an object decreases its motion energy. Increasing the speed of an object increases its motion energy. Increasing the speed of an object does not affect its motion energy. Whether or not its motion energy is affected depends on how much its speed was increased.
