Answer:

Explanation:

An object falling loses gravitational potential energy and gains kinetic energy. The gravity potential is the gravitational potential energy per unit mass. This energy comes from the gravitational potential energy released when the water falls. ... At 0, all the energy is in gravitational potential energy.

Aunt Matilda goes to a well and throws a penny straight down the well at 3.0 m/s. She hears a splash after 0.5 seconds. How deep

nevsk [136]

Answer : The correct option is (d) 2.73 m

Explanation :

By the 2nd equation of motion,

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

where,

s = distance or height = ?

u = initial velocity = 3.0 m/s

t = time = 0.5 s

a = acceleration due to gravity = $9.8m/s^2$

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

$s=(3.0m/s)\times (0.5s)+\frac{1}{2}\times (9.8m/s^2)\times (0.5s)^2$

$s=2.73m$

Therefore, the correct option is (d) 2.73 m

Explain how to find the acceleration of an object that has one-dimensional horizontal motion.

Nostrana [21]

Acceleration is how much the velocity changes within a period of time so,

Acceleration= is the change in velocity divided by change in time

your units will be m/s squared

Consider two children sitting on a merry-go-round, with one closer to the outer edge and one closer to the center. show answer N

dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

They both have the same angular speed.

Explanation:

The mathematical formula for angular speed is:

$w=\frac{2\pi}{T}$

where $w$ is angular speed, $2\pi$ is a constant, and $T$ is the period (the time it takes the marry-go-round to complete a lap).

What we can see from the formula is that, since the $2\pi$ does not change its value, the angular speed depends only on the period T.

In this case for both the children closer to the outher edge and for the children closer to the center, the time to complete a lap is the same, because the time does not depend on where they are sitting in the marry go round. This means that the period for both is the same.

Thus, since the period for both is the same, the angular speed given by

$w=\frac{2\pi}{T}$ will also be the same

A thin spherical shell of radius R has a total charge +Q uniformly distributed over its surface. Of the following distance r fro

grigory [225]

Answer:

The correct answer is B

Explanation:

Let's calculate the electric field using Gauss's law, which states that the electric field flow is equal to the charge faced by the dielectric permittivity

Φ $._{E}$ = ∫ E. dA = $q_{int}$ / ε₀

For this case we create a Gaussian surface that is a sphere. We can see that the two of the sphere and the field lines from the spherical shell grant in the direction whereby the scalar product is reduced to the ordinary product

∫ E dA = $q_{int}$ / ε₀

The area of a sphere is

A = 4π r²

E 4π r² = $q_{int}$ / ε₀

E = (1 /4πε₀ ) q / r²

Having the solution of the problem let's analyze the points:

A ) r = 3R / 4 = 0.75 R.

In this case there is no charge inside the Gaussian surface therefore the electric field is zero

E = 0

B) r = 5R / 4 = 1.25R

In this case the entire charge is inside the Gaussian surface, the field is

E = (1 /4πε₀ ) Q / (1.25R)²

E = (1 /4πε₀ ) Q / R2 1 / 1.56²

E₀ = (1 /4π ε₀ ) Q / R²

$E_{B}$ = Eo /1.56 ²

$E_{B}$ = 0.41 Eo

C) r = 2R

All charge inside is inside the Gaussian surface

$E_{B}$ =(1 /4π ε₀ ) Q 1/(2R)²

$E_{B}$ = (1 /4π ε₀ ) q/R² 1/4

$E_{B}$ = Eo 1/4

$E_{B}$ = 0.25 Eo

D) False the field changes with distance

The correct answer is B
