Pe = mgh.
14000 J = (40kg)(10m/s^2)(h)
h = 35 meters

Pe = mgh.

14000 J = (40kg)(10m/s^2)(h)

h = 35 meters

The energy stored by any pair of positive charges is inversely proportional to the distance between them, and directly proportio
denpristay [2]

Answer:

 U = 25 J

Explanation:

The energy in a set of charges is given by

          U = k \sum \frac{q_i}{r_i}

in this case we have three charges of equal magnitude

          q = q₁ = q₂ = q₃

with the configuration of an equilateral triangle all distances are worth

          d = a

          U = k ( \frac{q_1q_2}{ r_1_2 } + \frac{q_1q_3}{r_1_3} + \frac{q_2q_3}{r_2_3} )

we substitute

           15 = k q² (3 / a)

            k q² /a = 5

For the second configuration a load is moved to the measured point of the other two

          d₁₃ = a

The distance to charge 2 that is at the midpoint of the other two is

          d₁₂ = d₂₃ = a / 2

           U = k (\frac{q_1q_2}{ r_1_2 } + \frac{q_1q_3}{r_1_3} + \frac{q_2q_3}{r_2_3})

            U = k q² (  \frac{2}{a} + \frac{1}{a} + \frac{2}{a} )

            U = (kq² /a) 5

substituting

            U = 5 5

            U = 25 J

Explain the following observations:
Deffense [45]

Answer and Explanation:

a. An oxygen-filled balloon is not able to float in the air, because the oxygen inside the balloon is of the same density, that is, the same "weight" as the oxygen outside the balloon and present in the atmosphere. The balloon can only float if the gas inside it is less dense than atmospheric oxygen. Helium gas is less dense than atmospheric gas, so if a balloon is filled with helium gas, that balloon will be able to float because of the difference in density.

b. The ship is able to float in the water because its steel construction is hollow and full of air. This makes the average density of this ship less than the density of water, which makes the ship lighter than water and for this reason, this ship is able to float. In addition, the ship is partially immersed, allowing the weight of the ship on the water to counteract the buoyant force that the water promotes on the ship. Weight and buoyant are two opposing forces that keep the ship afloat.

A horizontal spring with spring constant 85 N/m extends outward from a wall just above floor level. A 2.5 kg box sliding across
Nikolay [14]

As the box compresses the spring, the spring performs

-1/2 (85 N/m) (0.065 m)² ≈ -0.18 J

of work on the box. By the work energy theorem, the total work performed on the box (which is done only by the spring since there's no friction) is equal to the change in the box's kinetic energy. At full compression, the box has zero instantaneous speed, so

<em>W</em> = ∆<em>K</em>   ==>   -0.18 J = 0 - 1/2 (2.5 kg) <em>v</em> ²

where <em>v</em> is the box's speed when it first comes into contact with the spring. Solve for <em>v</em> :

<em>v</em> ² ≈ 0.14 m²/s²   ==>   <em>v</em> ≈ 0.38 m/s
