Answer: KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}

Explanation:

Kinetic Energy is the energy a particle, body or object possesses due to its movement and is mathematically defined as:

KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}

Where:

m is the mass of the body

v is the velocity  of the body

So, if we want to calculate the kinetic energy KE of an object, we have to use the equation given above.

The earth has a net electric charge that causes a field at points near its surface equal to 150 N/C and directed in toward the c
maria [59]

To solve this problem we will start using the concepts related to the electric field, from there we will find the load exerted on the body. Through this load it will be possible to make a sum of forces in balance to find the load that a human supports. Finally with these values it will be possible to find the repulsive force. We will proceed as follows,

The electric field is

E= \frac{kQ}{R^2}

Here,

k = Coulomb's Constant

Q = Charge

R = Distance (At this case from the center of mass of the earth to the surface)

Rearranging to find the charge,

Q = \frac{ER^2}{k}

Replacing,

Q = frac{(150)(6.38*10^6)}{8.99*10^9}

Q = 6.79*10^5 C

Since the electric field is directed towards the center of earth, the charge is negative.

PART A) Once the load is found we can proceed to apply the balance of Forces, for which the electrostatic force must be equivalent to the weight, this in order to satisfy the balance, therefore

F_w = F_e

mg = \frac{kQq}{R^2}

Replacing,

(62)(9.8) = \frac{(8.99*10^9)(q)(-6.79*10^5)}{(6.38*10^6)^2}

Solving for q,

q = -4.056C

PART B) Finally using the given distance and the values of the found load we can find the repulsive Force, which is

F =\frac{kq^2}{d^2}

F = \frac{(8.99*10^9)(-4.056)^2}{110^2}

F = 1.22*10^7N

PART C) The answer is no. According to the information found, we can conclude that traveling through an electric field is not viable because there is a repulsive force of great magnitude acting on the body.

How can i prove the conservation of mechanical energy?​
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

We can also prove the conservation of mechanical energy of a freely falling body by the work-energy theorem, which states that change in kinetic energy of a body is equal to work done on it. i.e. W=ΔK. And ΔE=ΔK+ΔU. Hence the mechanical energy of the body is conserved

Una furgoneta circula por una carretera a 55km/h. Diez km atrás , un coche circula en el mismo sentido a 85km/h ¿ En cuanto tiem
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

t = 0.33h = 1200s

x = 18.33 km

Explanation:

If the origin of coordinates is at the second car, you can write the following equations for both cars:

car 1:

x=x_o+v_1t    (1)

xo = 10 km

v1 = 55km/h

car 2:

x'=v_2t    (2)

v2 = 85km/h

For a specific value of time t the positions of both cars are equal, that is, x=x'. You equal equations (1) and (2) and solve for t:

x=x'\\\\x_o+v_1t=v_2t\\\\(v_2-v_1)t=x_o\\\\t=\frac{x_o}{v_2-v_1}

t=\frac{10km}{85km/h-55km/h}=0.33h*\frac{3600s}{1h}=1200s

The position in which both cars coincides is:

x=(55km/h)(0.33h)=18.33km

Describe the factors that cause static friction between two surfaces to increase.
maw [93]

Answer : The static friction depends on two factors

1. Roughness of the surface

2. Force

Explanation : Friction occur when surface is not smooth.

The formula of friction is

F= \mu mg

Static friction depends on the roughness of the surface and force which is trying to push to object along the surface.

Static friction is caused by the attraction between two surfaces that are in contact.  when the surface will rough and the object will heavier then the force will be larger.

When force is applied to a breaker bar the torque can be calculated by multiplying the length of the lever by the?
Nimfa-mama [501]

When a force applied to a breaker bar the torque can be calculated by multiplying the<u> length of the lever</u> by the tangential component of force on the lever.

<h3>What is torque?</h3>

Torque is the <u>rotating equivalent</u> of force in physics and mechanics. Depending on the subject of study, it is also known as the moment, moment of force, rotating force, or turning effect. It illustrates how a force can cause a change in the body's rotational motion.

Torque is given by the formula :

                          α = r x F ( bold letters represent vector quantities)

The S.I. unit for torque is :  N - m ( Newton - meter)

<h3>How do we define 1 N-m of torque?</h3>

The newton-metre is a torque unit (also known as a moment) in the SI system. The torque produced by a one newton force applied <u>perpendicularly to the end of a one metre long</u> moment arm is known as a newton-metre.
