B.False

Einstein's vision of GR is NOT that somehow Gravity comes along and alters (indents?) some existing structure.
It is that Gravity (with its four possible sources) actually determines the entire global structure of Space-Time in which such sources are extant.

Consider the motion of a 4.00-kg particle that moves with potential energy given by U(x) = + a) Suppose the particle is moving w
gtnhenbr [62]

Correct question:

Consider the motion of a 4.00-kg particle that moves with potential energy given by

U(x) = \frac{(2.0 Jm)}{x}+ \frac{(4.0 Jm^2)}{x^2}

a) Suppose the particle is moving with a speed of 3.00 m/s when it is located at x = 1.00 m. What is the speed of the object when it is located at x = 5.00 m?

b) What is the magnitude of the force on the 4.00-kg particle when it is located at x = 5.00 m?

Answer:

a) 3.33 m/s

b) 0.016 N

Explanation:

a) given:

V = 3.00 m/s

x1 = 1.00 m

x = 5.00

u(x) = \frac{-2}{x} + \frac{4}{x^2}

At x = 1.00 m

u(1) = \frac{-2}{1} + \frac{4}{1^2}

= 4J

Kinetic energy = (1/2)mv²

= \frac{1}{2} * 4(3)^2

= 18J

Total energy will be =

4J + 18J = 22J

At x = 5

u(5) = \frac{-2}{5} + \frac{4}{5^2}

= \frac{4-10}{25} = \frac{-6}{25} J

= -0.24J

Kinetic energy =

\frac{1}{2} * 4Vf^2

= 2Vf²

Total energy =

2Vf² - 0.024

Using conservation of energy,

Initial total energy = final total energy

22 = 2Vf² - 0.24

Vf² = (22+0.24) / 2

Vf = \sqrt{frac{22.4}{2}

= 3.33 m/s

b) magnitude of force when x = 5.0m

u(x) = \frac{-2}{x} + \frac{4}{x^2}

\frac{-du(x)}{dx} = \frac{-d}{dx} [\frac{-2}{x}+ \frac{4}{x^2}

= \frac{2}{x^2} - \frac{8}{x^3}

At x = 5.0 m

\frac{2}{5^2} - \frac{8}{5^3}

F = \frac{2}{25} - \frac{8}{125}

= 0.016N

A 0.10 kg meter stick is held perpendicular to a vertical wall by a 2.5 mm string going from the wall to the far end of the stic
il63 [147K]

Explanation:

a)

Sum of moments = 0 (Equilibrium)

T . cos (Q)*L = m*g*L/2

cos Q = \frac{\sqrt{(2.5^2 - L^2) } }{2.5}

T*\frac{\sqrt{(2.5^2 - L^2) } }{2.5} * L = 0.1 *9.81*L/2

T = \frac{2.4525}{\sqrt{(2.5)^2 - L^2} }

b) If the String is shorter the Q increases; hence, Cos Q decreases which in turn increases Tension in the string due to inverse relationship!

c)

T = \frac{1.962}{\sqrt{(2)^2 - L^2} }

Two 3 m long conductors are separated from each other by 5 mm and carry a current of 10 A dc. Calculate the force that one condu
makkiz [27]

Answer:

0.012 N

Explanation:

The formula to apply is that adopted from the Ampere law which is;

F= μ* I₁*I₂*l /2πd   where

F is force that one conductor exerts on the other.

μ = magnetic permeability of free space = 4π×10⁻⁷ T. m/A

I₁ = current in conductor one=10 A

I₂ = current in conductor two= 10 A

l= length of conductor= 3 m

d= distance between the conductors = 5 mm = 0.005 m

Applying the values in the equation

F= 4π×10⁻⁷ *10*10*3 / 2π*0.005

F= 6 * 10⁻⁵ / 0.005

F=0.012 N

If a light ray strikes a flat mirror at an angle of 44° from horizontal the reflected ray will be​
ladessa [460]

Answer: The reflected ray will be 44 degrees.

Explanation: The Law of Reflection states the angle of incidence ( the incoming light ray) equals the angle of reflection ( the light ray being reflected) Therefore, the angle of reflection will be 44 degrees.

Hope that helped!
