Answer:

hmax = 181.48m

Explanation:

In order to calculate the maximum height reached by the same ball in the moon, you first calculate the initial velocity of the ball by using the information about the maximum height on the Earth. You use the following formula:

h_{max}=\frac{v_o^2}{2g}     (1)

hmax: maximum height reached by the ball in the Earth = 30m

vo: initial velocity of the ball = ?

g: gravitational acceleration on Earth = 9.8m/s^2

From the equation (1) you solve for vo:

v_o=\sqrt{2gh_{max}}=\sqrt{2(9.8m/s^2)(30m)}=24.24\frac{m}{s}

Next, you use the same equation (1) but for the gravitational acceleration of the moon, which is given by:

g' = 1.62m/s^2

h_{max}=\frac{(24.24m/s)^2}{2(1.62m/s^2)}=181.48m

The same ball, with the same initial velocity, will reache a heigth of 181m in the moon.

If the radius of an atom is 60 pm and the radius of the Earth is 6000 km, by how many orders of
kherson [118]

Answer:

1 x 10¹⁷

               

Explanation:

Given data:

        Radius of the earth  = 6000km

        Radius of an atom  = 60pm

Now, how many orders is the radius of the earth larger than an atom

Solution:

To solve this problem, let us express both quantity as the same unit;

         1000m  = 1km

    6000km  = 6000 x 10³m   =  6 x 10⁶m

    60pm;

            1 x 10⁻¹²m  = 1pm

    60pm  = 60 x  1 x 10⁻¹²m  = 6 x 10⁻¹¹m

Now;

The order:   \frac{6 x 10^{6} }{6 x 10^{-11} }   = 1 x 10¹⁷

A 5.0 kg object moving at 5.0 m/s. KE = mv2 times 1/2
steposvetlana [31]

Answer: KE = 62.5J

Explanation:

Given that

Mass of object = 5kg

kinetic energy KE = ?

velocity of object = 5m/s

Since kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a moving object, and it depends on the mass (m) of the object and the velocity (v) by which it moves. Therefore, the object has kinetic energy.

i.e K.E = 1/2mv^2

KE = 1/2 x 5kg x (5m/s)^2

KE = 0.5 x 5 x 25

KE = 62.5J

Thus, the object has 62.5 joules of kinetic energy.

Assume that the electric field E is equal to zero at a given point. Does it mean that the electric potential V must also be equa
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

  • No, this doesn't mean the electric potential equals zero.

Explanation:

In electrostatics, the electric field \vec{E} is related to the gradient of the electric potential V with :

\vec{E} (\vec{r}) = - \vec{\nabla} V (\vec{r})

This means that for constant electric potential the electric field must be zero:

V(\vec{r}) = k

\vec{E} (\vec{r}) = - \vec{\nabla} V (\vec{r}) = - \vec{\nabla} k

\vec{E} (\vec{r}) = -  (\frac{\partial}{\partial x} , \frac{\partial}{\partial y } , \frac{\partial}{\partial z}) k

\vec{E} (\vec{r}) = -  (\frac{\partial k}{\partial x} , \frac{\partial k}{\partial y } , \frac{\partial k}{\partial z})

\vec{E} (\vec{r}) = -  (0,0,0)

This is not the only case in which we would find an zero electric field, as, any scalar field with gradient zero will give an zero electric field. For example:

V(\vec{r})= (x+2)^2 (y+4)^3 (z+5)^4

give an electric field of zero at point (0,0,0)
