Answer:

15 m/s

Explanation:

Using the law of conservation of energy, potential energy equals kinetic energy hence

mgh=0.5mv^{2}

Therefore

v=\sqrt{2gh}

where g is the acceleration due to gravity, m is the mass of the object, h is the height and v is the speed of the wallet

Taking g as 9.81 then

v=\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 11.5}=15.02098532  m/s\approx 15 m/s

A charged particle is moving in a uniform magnetic field at a speed of 8.2Ã10^3 m/s in a direction 87° from the direction of th
77julia77 [94]

Answer:

Magnetic field, B = 0.042 T

Explanation:

It is given that,

Speed of charged particle, v=8.2\times 10^3\ m/s

Angle between velocity and the magnetic field, \theta=87

Charge, q=5.7\ \mu C=5.7\times 10^{-6}\ C

Magnetic force, F = 0.002 N

The magnetic force is given by :

F=qvB\ sin\theta

B is the magnetic field  

B=\dfrac{F}{qv\ sin\theta}

B=\dfrac{0.002}{5.7\times 10^{-6}\times 8.2\times 10^3\times sin(87)}

B = 0.042 T

So, the strength of the magnetic field is 0.042 Tesla. Hence, this is the required solution.

How do I find the approximate velocity of "the object", on the graph at 5 seconds?
MakcuM [25]

First, foremost, and most critically, you must look at the graph, and critically
examine its behavior from just before until just after the 5-seconds point.

Without that ability ... since the graph is nowhere to be found ... I am hardly
in a position to assist you in the process.

A piece of wood that floats on water has a mass of 0.0175 kg. A lead weight is tied to the wood, and the apparent mass with the
crimeas [40]

Answer:

Specific gravity is 0.56

Explanation:

We know that

mass of water displaced by the wood is, m1( apparent mass when wood in air and lead is submerged in water) - m2(the apparent mass when wood and lead both are submerged in water)

= 0.0765 - 0.0452 = 0.0313 Kg

So the specific gravity of the wood is, = mass of wood / mass of water displaced by the wood

= 0.0175/0.0313

=0.56
