Potential energy U = mgh

Given h = 123 m,
mg = F = 780 N

Then
U = (123)(780)
= 95940
= 9.59 x 10^4

A small particle has charge -2.00 uC and mass 1.50×10-4 kg. It moves from point A, where the electric potential is V(A) = 200 V,
Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

v_b=6.13 m/s..

Explanation:

Since no external force is acting on the system.

Therefore, Total energy remains constant before and after.

So, Total energy of system= energy due to potential applied+kinetic energy

T.E=qV_a+\dfrac{1}{2}mv_a^2=qV_b+\dfrac{1}{2}mv_b^2\\\dfrac{1}{2}mv_b^2=\dfrac{1}{2}mv_a^2+q(V_a-V_b)\\

(Here v=velocity ,V=potential ,q=charge and m=mass).

Putting values .

We get,  v_b=6.13 m/s..

At point B charged particle is moving faster as compared to point A.

Hence, it is the required solution.

A boat is traveling upstream at 14 km/h with respect to the water of a river. The water itself is flowing at 9 km/h with respect
kirill [66]

Answer:

16.64 km/h

Explanation:

Think of the x and y components as the a and b sides of a triangle and simply do the Pythagorean Theorem:

a^2+b^2=c^2

14^2+9^2=c^2

\sqrt{196+81}=c

\sqrt{277}=c

16.64 km/h

Two forces that make up 3rd law of motion can: 1)Act on the same object 2)do not act on same time 3)Act on different objects 4)D
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

3) Act on different objects

Explanation:

Newton's third law of motion states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Action-reaction force pairs make it possible for fishes to swim, birds to fly, cars to move, etc.

Basically, action-reaction force pairs are characterized by the following statements;

I. The forces are the same type such as magnetic force, contact force or gravitational force.

II. The forces are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction.

III. They act up on two different bodies.

Hence, the two forces that make up 3rd law of motion can act on different objects.

For example, while driving down the road, a bug strikes the windshield of a vehicle (Action) and makes a quite obvious mess in front of the face of the driver of the vehicle (Reaction) i.e the bug hit the vehicle and the vehicle hits the bug.
