Gravitational potential energy.

As the rider falls, the GPE is converted into kinetic energy.

He gets it from the huge motor that lifts the cars and people to the top of the first hill and then let's them go.

An electron and a proton are held on an x axis, with the electron at x = + 1.000 m and the proton at x = - 1.000 m. Part A How m

PART A)

Electrostatic potential at the position of origin is given by

$V = \frac{kq_1}{r_1} + \frac{kq_2}{r_2}$

here we have

$q_1 = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} C$

$q_2 = -1.6 \times 10^{-19} C$

$r_1 = r_2 = 1 m$

now we have

$V = \frac{Ke}{r} - \frac{Ke}{r}$

$V = 0$

Now work done to move another charge from infinite to origin is given by

$W = q(V_f - V_i)$

here we will have

$W = e(0 - 0) = 0$

so there is no work required to move an electron from infinite to origin

PART B)

Initial potential energy of electron

$U = \frac{Kq_1e}{r_1} + \frac{kq_2e}{r_2}$

$U = \frac{9\times 10^9(-1.6\times 10^{-19}(-1.6 \times 10^{-19})}{19} + \frac{9\times 10^9(1.6\times 10^{-19}(-1.6 \times 10^{-19})}{21}$

$U = (2.3\times 10^{-28})(\frac{1}{19} - \frac{1}{21})$

$U = 1.15\times 10^{-30}$

Now we know

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

$KE = \frac{1}{2}(9.1\times 10^{-31}(100)^2$

$KE = 4.55 \times 10^{-27} kg$

now by energy conservation we will have

So here initial total energy is sufficient high to reach the origin

PART C)

It will reach the origin

The velocity of a 0.25kg model rocket changes from 15m/s [up] to 40m/s [up] in

vivado [14]

The force the escaping gas exerts of the rocket is 10.42 N.

<h3>Force escaping gas exerts</h3>

The force the escaping gas exerts of the rocket is calculated as follows;

F = m(v - u)/t

where;

m is mass of the rocket
v is the final velocity of the rocket
u is the initial velocity of the rocket
t is time of motion

F = (0.25)(40 - 15)/0.6

F = 10.42 N

Thus, the force the escaping gas exerts of the rocket is 10.42 N.

What is most responsible for the uneven heating of the air in the atmosphere?

Phoenix [80]

<span>The answer would be convection currents. Convection happens when atoms with a lot of heat energy in a liquid or gas transfer and get the room of particles with fewer heat energy. Heat energy is transported from hot places to cooler places by convection.</span>
