First one, holding a basketball in the air. Potential energy is the energy it has mostly from gravity. The further you go from the center of mass, the more energy.

Before coming into conclusion first we have to understand potential energy.The potential  energy of a body is defined as the energy possessed by a body due  to its position and configuration.

There are  generally two types of potential energy.One is gravitational potential energy and the other one is elastic potential energy.The former one is due to the position of the body at a certain height from the surface of earth.The latter one is due to the change in  configuration of the body.

There is also electric potential energy which is stored  inside the electric filed of charge particles at rest.

The first example is holding a basket ball in air.As the body is at certain height from earth surface ,hence it has gravitational potential energy which is a best example of potential energy.

The second one is a rolling ball across a flat table.It has both rotational kinetic energy due to its rolling motion as well as potential energy due to its position.

The third one  can't be considered as it is electric in nature.

The fourth one is turning on a flashlight in a dark room.The light is due to the heating effect of electric current. so it is not gravitational in nature.

Hence option  one is the correct answer.

salantis [7]

Answer:

A. Time Division multiple Access (TDMA)

Explanation:

Time-division multiple access (TDMA) is a channel access method for shared-medium networks

It allows several users to share the same frequency channel by dividing the signal into different time slots. The users transmit in rapid succession, one after the other, each using its own time slot.

A student connects an object with mass m to a rope with a length r and then rotates the rope around her head parallel to the gro
Alexandra [31]

The object takes 0.5 seconds to complete one rotation, so its rotational speed is 1/0.5 rot/s = 2 rot/s.

Convert this to linear speed; for each rotation, the object travels a distance equal to the circumference of its path, or 2<em>π</em> (1.2 m) = 2.4<em>π</em> m ≈ 7.5 m, so that

2 rot/s = (2 rot/s) • (2.4<em>π</em> m/rot) = 4.8<em>π</em> m/s ≈ 15 m/s

thus giving it a centripetal acceleration of

<em>a</em> = (4.8<em>π</em> m/s)² / (1.2 m) ≈ 190 m/s².

Then the tension in the rope is

<em>T</em> = (50 kg) <em>a</em> ≈ 9500 N.

A simple dipole consists of two charges with the same magnitude, q, but opposite sign separated by a distance d. The EDM (electr
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

a. dW = ∫pEsinθdθ  b. W = p.E

Explanation:

a. We know torque τ = p × E = pEsinθ where θ is the angle between p and E

Let the torque τ rotate the dipole by an amount dθ. So, the workdone dW = ∫τdθ = ∫pEsinθdθ

b. So, the total work done is gotten by integrating from 90 to θ. So,

W = ∫₉₀⁰dW

= ∫₉₀⁰pEsinθdθ

= pE∫₉₀⁰sinθdθ

= pE(cosθ - cos90)

=pEcosθ

= p.E

You stand on a bridge above a river and drop a rock into the water below from a height of 25 m. (Assume no air resistance)
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

PART a)

here when stone is dropped there is only gravitational force on it

so its acceleration is only due to gravity

so we will have

a = g = 9.8 m/s^2

Part b)

Now from kinematics equation we will have

y = v_i t + \frac{1}{2} at^2

now we have

y = 25 m

so from above equation

25 = 0 + \frac{1}{2}(9.8 )t^2

t = 2.26 s

Part c)

If we throw the rock horizontally by speed 20 m/s

then in this case there is no change in the vertical velocity

so it will take same time to reach the water surface as it took initially

So t = 2.26 s

Part D)

Initial speed = 20 m/s

angle of projection = 65 degree

now we have

v_x = vcos\theta

v_x  = 20 cos65 = 8.45 m/s

v_y = vsin\theta

v_y = 20 sin65 = 18.13 m/s

PART E)

when stone will reach to maximum height then we know that its final speed in y direction becomes zero

so here we can use kinematics in Y direction

v_f - v_y = at

0 - 18.13 = (-9.8) t

t = 1.85 s

so it will take 1.85 s to reach the top
