Answer:

5,760,000 lb-ft²/s²

Explanation:

Work done, W = mgy where m = mass of stone = 12,000 lb, g = 32 ft/s² and y = vertical distance = 15 ft.

So, W = mgy = 12,000 lb × 32 ft/s² × 15 ft. = 5,760,000 lb-ft²/s²

A beam of electrons is sent horizontally down the axis of a tube to strike a fluorescent screen at the end of the tube. On the w
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

The answer is 3.

Explanation:

The answer to this question can be found by applying the right hand rule for which the pointer finger is in the direction of the electron movement, the thumb is pointing in the direction of the magnetic field, so the effect that this will have on the electrons is the direction that the middle finger points in which is right in this example.

So as a result of the magnetic field directed vertically downwards which is at a right angle with the electron beams, the electrons will move to the right and the spot will be deflected to the right of the screen when looking from the electron source.

I hope this answer helps.

A student standing on a stationary skateboard tosses a textbook with a mass of mb = 1.25 kg to a friend standing in front of him
juin [17]

Answer:

The velocity of the student has after throwing the book is 0.0345 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of book =1.25 kg

Combined mass = 112 kg

Velocity of book = 3.61 m/s

Angle = 31°

We need to calculate the magnitude of the velocity of the student has after throwing the book

Using conservation of momentum along horizontal  direction

m_{b}v_{b}\cos\theta= m_{c}v_{c}

v_{s}=\dfrac{m_{b}v_{b}\cos\theta}{m_{c}}

Put the value into the formula

v_{c}=\dfrac{1.25\times3.61\times\cos31}{112}

v_{c}=0.0345\ m/s

Hence, The velocity of the student has after throwing the book is 0.0345 m/s.

Which equation represents the law of conservation of energy in a closed system?
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

KE + PE = KE + PE

Explanation:

In a closed system, the mechanical energy of the system is constant.

Mechanical energy is given by the sum of kinetic energy and potential energy; mathematically:

U = KE + PE

where

KE is the kinetic energy

PE is the potential energy

This means that if we consider two situations, one at the beginning and one at the end, the value of U will not change if the system is closed; this means that the sum KE + PE will remain the same, so we can write:

KE + PE = KE + PE
