Answer:

P = 1470980 J

Explanation:

We have,

Mass of the hiker is 79 kg

It is required to find the potential energy associated with a 79-kg hiker atop New Hampshire's Mount Washington, 1900 m above sea level.

It is given by :

P=mgh\\\\P=79\times 9.8\times 1900\\\\P=1470980\ J

So, the potential energy of 1470980 J is associated with a hiker.

A parallel-plate capacitor is disconnected from a battery, and the plates are pulled a small distance farther apart. Does Q incr
kolezko [41]

Answer:

Q stay the same

Explanation:

Charging of capacitor is done by battery . If battery is disconnected , charging will stop . There will not be any discharging as plates are separate . So pulling the plates apart will not affect the charge lying on the capacitor . It will decrease its capacity and increase its potential , keeping its charge constant.

Consider identical spherical conducting space ships in deep space where gravitational fields from other bodies are negligible co
Illusion [34]

Answer:

 q = 8.61 10⁻¹¹ m

charge does not depend on the distance between the two ships.

it is a very small charge value so it should be easy to create in each one

Explanation:

In this exercise we have two forces in balance: the electric force and the gravitational force

          F_e -F_g = 0

          F_e = F_g

Since the gravitational force is always attractive, the electric force must be repulsive, which implies that the electric charge in the two ships must be of the same sign.

Let's write Coulomb's law and gravitational attraction

         k \frac{q_1q_2}{r^2} = G \frac{m_1m_2}{r^2}

In the exercise, indicate that the two ships are identical, therefore the masses of the ships are the same and we will place the same charge on each one.

          k q² = G m²

          q = \sqrt{ \frac{G}{k} }    m

we substitute

           q = \sqrt{ \frac{ 6.67 \ 10^{-11}}{8.99 \ 10^{9}} }   m

            q = \sqrt{0.7419 \ 10^{-20}}   m

           q = 0.861 10⁻¹⁰ m

           q = 8.61 10⁻¹¹ m

This amount of charge does not depend on the distance between the two ships.

It is also proportional to the mass of the ships with the proportionality factor found.

Suppose the ships have a mass of m = 1000 kg, let's find the cargo

            q = 8.61 10⁻¹¹ 10³

            q = 8.61 10⁻⁸ C

             

this is a very small charge value so it should be easy to create in each one

Two forces F1 and F2 of equal magnitude are applied to a brick of mass 20kg lying on the floor as shown in the figure above. If
jeka57 [31]

Let F_{1}=F_{2}=F.

Normal force equals (using Newton's third law) N=mg+F\sin30^{o}-F\sin37^{o}.

F_{f}\leq \mu N = \mu(mg+F\sin30^{o}-F\sin37^{o}), but F_{f}\leq F(\cos30^o+\cos37^o) for all F_{f} (in order to start moving the break). Therefore F(\cos 30^o+\cos37^o)\geq \mu(mg+F\sin30^{o}-F\sin37^{o}), solving for F: F\geq \frac{\mu mg}{\cos30^o+\cos37^o-\mu\sin30^o+\mu\sin37^o}\approx 46,91\; \textbf{N}

How can the atomic number of nitrogen be determined?
Doss [256]

Answer:

So... for the element of NITROGEN, you already know that the atomic number tells you the number of electrons. That means there are 7 electrons in a nitrogen atom. Looking at the picture, you can see there are two electrons in shell one and five in shell two.
