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.

1.- An elevator is being lowered at a constant speed by a steel cable attached to an electric motor. Which statement is correct?

Nady [450]

Answer:

the correct one is C

Explanation:

For this exercise we must use the work definition

W = F. s

Where the bold characters indicate vectors and the point is the scalar producer

W = F s cos θ

Where θ is the angles between force and displacement.

Let us support this in our case. The cable creates an upward tension and with the elevator going down the angle between them is 180º so the work of the cable on the elevator is negative.

The evade has a downward force, its weight so the force goes down and the displacement goes down, as both are in the same direction the work is positive

When examining the statements the correct one is C

At a particular instant, an electron moves toward the east in a uniform magnetic field that is directed straight downward. the m

alexdok [17]

Answer:

towards the south

Explanation:

When the electron enters the region with magnetic field, it experiences a magnetic force perpendicular to both the directions of the electron's velocity and the magnetic field.

The direction of the force exerted on the electron can be found by using the right-hand rule:

- Index finger: direction of the velocity of the electron --> towards the east

- Middle finger: direction of the magnetic field --> downward

- Thumb: direction of the force on a positive particle --> towards the north

However, the electron is a negatively charged particle, so we must reverse the direction of the force: therefore, the force exerted on the electron is towards the south.

An Olympic runner completes the 200-meter sprint in 23 seconds. What is the runnerâ€™s average speed? (Round your answer to the

Amanda [17]

The average speed of the runner is 8.7m/s.

Therefore, Option C) 8.7m/s is the correct answer.

Given the data in the question;

Distance covered; $d = 200m$

Time taken; $t = 23s$

Average speed; $s = \ ?$

Speed is the rate at which an object covers a certain distance. It is expressed as:

$s = \frac{d}{t}$

Where s is speed, d is distance and t is time taken.

We substitute our given distance into the equation

$s = \frac{200m}{23s} \\\\s = 8.6956m/s\\\\s = 8.7m/s$

The average speed of the runner is 8.7m/s

Therefore, Option C) 8.7m/s is the correct answer.

Triss [41]

Answer:

a) the first vector has magnitude 58 cm and the angle is 15 measured clockwise from the positive side of the x-axis

b) the second vector, the magnitude is 55.7 cm and the angle is 35 half from the negative side of the x-axis in a clockwise direction

c) the magnitude is 54.2 cm with an angle of 18 measured counterclockwise from the x-axis

Explanation:

For this exercise we draw a Cartesian coordinate system in this system: East coincides with the positive part of the x-axis and North with the positive part of the y-axis.

a) the first vector has magnitude 58 cm and the angle is 15 measured clockwise from the positive side of the x-axis

b) the second vector, the magnitude is 55.7 cm and the angle is 35 half from the negative side of the x-axis in a clockwise direction

c) the magnitude is 54.2 cm with an angle of 18 measured counterclockwise from the x-axis

In the attachment we can see the representation of the three vectors
