Internal energy.

Explanation:

In any substance/object, the particles inside it (atoms/molecules) constantly move in random directions and with random speeds (this motion is called Brownian motion). As a result, the particles have some kinetic energy (which is proportional to the temperature of the substance). Moreover, the particles interact with each other due to the presence of electrostatic intermolecular forces, and as a result, the particles also have some potential energy.

The sum of the kinetic energies and potential energies of the particles in a substance is called internal energy.

Internal energy would be the answer because it says the sum of energies "IN" the particles.

a stone with a mass of 2.40 kg is moving with velocity (6.60î − 2.40ĵ) m/s. find the net work (in j) on the stone if its velocit

ch4aika [34]

By the work energy theorem, the total work done on the stone is given by its change in kinetic energy,

$W = \Delta K = \dfrac m2 ({v_2}^2 - {v_1}^2)$

We have

$\vec v_1 = (6.60\,\vec\imath - 2.40\,\vec\jmath)\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s} \implies {v_1}^2 = \|\vec v_1\|^2 = 49.32 \dfrac{\rm m^2}{\rm s^2}$

$\vec v_2 = (8.00\,\vec\imath + 4.00\,\vec\jmath) \dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s} \implies {v_2}^2 = \|\vec v_2\|^2 = 80.0\dfrac{\mathrm m^2}{\mathrm s^2}$

Then the total work is

$W = \dfrac{2.40\,\rm kg}2 \left(80.0\dfrac{\rm m^2}{\rm s^2} - 49.32\dfrac{\rm m^2}{\rm s^2}\right) \approx \boxed{36.8\,\rm J}$

Answer:

The magnitude of the magnetic field is 1.01T and its direction is in the negative x direction

Explanation:

In order to calculate the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field, you take into account the following equation for the magnetic force on the proton:

$\vec{F_B}=q\vec{v}\ X\ \vec{B}$ (1)

v: speed of the proton = 9.9*10^5 m/s

q: charge of the proton = 1.6*10^-19C

B: magnetic field = ?

FB: magnetic force on the proton = 1.6*10^-13N

When the proton travels in the positive y direction (^j), you have that the proton experiences a force in the positive z direction (+^k). To obtain this direction of the magnetic force on the proton, it is necessary that the magnetic field points in the negative x direction, in fact, you have:

^j X (-^i) = -(-^k)=^k

To obtain the magnitude of the magnetic field you use:

$F_B=qvBsin90\°=qvB\\\\B=\frac{F_B}{qv}=\frac{1.6*10^{-13}N}{(1.6*10^{-19}C)(9.9*10^5m/s)}\\\\B=1.01T$
