Kinetic Energy (Ek) =
m \times {v}^{2} \div 2

Torricelli's Equation
g earth = 10m/s^2

{v}^{2} = {vo}^{2} + 2g \times delta(s) \\ {v}^{2} = 0 + 2 \times 10 \times 12 \\ {v}^{2} = 240m/s

120g = 0.12 kg

Ek = 0.12 x 240/2
Ek = 28.8/2
Ek = 14.4 J

Simple definition of polar vector​
Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

In physics, a polar vector is a vector such as the radius vector that reverses sign when the coordinate axes are reversed

Explanation:

Polar vectors are the type of vector usually simply known as "vectors." In contrast, pseudovectors (also called axial vectors) do not reverse sign when the coordinate axes are reversed.

The Indianapolis Motor Speedway has four banked curves, each of which forms a quarter of a circle. Suppose a race car speeds alo
boyakko [2]

Answer:

r =  255.68 m

Explanation:

When a body moves in a circular path, an acceleration, due to constant change in its direction, is developed, known as centripetal acceleration. The centripetal acceleration acts towards the center of the circular path. The formula to calculate the centripetal acceleration is given as follows:

ac = v²/r

where,

ac = centripetal acceleration = 22 m/s²

v = tangential speed = 75 m/s

r = radius of curve = ?

Therefore,

22 m/s² = (75 m/s)²/r

r = (75 m/s)²/(22 m/s²)

<u>r =  255.68 m</u>

Two point charges of +2.0 μC and -6.0 μC are located on the x-axis at x = -1.0 cm and x = +2.0 cm respectively. Where should a t
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

  x = -3 cm

Explanation:

The electrical potential is the sum of the potentials of each charge

       V = k ∑ q_{i} / r_{i}

let's apply this to our case where the potential is V = 0 for x = 0

         0 = k (q₁ / (x₁-0) + q₂ / (x₂-0) + q₃ / (x₃-0))

in our case

q₁ = + 2.0 10⁻⁶ C

q₂ = - 6.0 10⁻⁶ C

q₃ = + 3.0 10⁻⁶ C

x₁ = -1.0 cm = 1.0 10⁻² m

x₂ = +2.0 cm = 2.0 10⁻² m

we substitute in the equation

          0 = k (2 10⁻⁶ / 1 10⁻² - 6 10⁻⁶ / 2 10⁻² + ​​3 10⁻⁶ / x)

          3 10⁻⁶ / x = 2 10⁻⁴ - 3 10⁻⁴

          3 10⁻⁶ / x = -1 10⁻⁴

           x = - 3 10⁻² m

           x = -3 cm
