A ball is thrown upward. At a height of 10 meters above the ground, the ball has a potential energy of 50 joules (with the poten

tial energy equal to zero at ground level) and is moving upward with a kinetic energy of 50 joules. Air friction is negligible. The maximum height reached by the ball is most nearly

Answer: 20m

Explanation:

We will solve this question by applying the law of conservation of energy which states that the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy is always the same.

The PE is 0 at surface and maximum at top while the KE is maximum at surface and 0 at top.

From the question,

PE = mgh = 50 J -(1)

mg* 10 = 50

mg = 50/10

mg = 5

The total energy at that point = PE + KE = 50 + 50 = 100 J

Therefore, at topmost point, the PE will be 100 J

mgH = 100J , H is the needed height

Using the value of mg obtained above, we have

H= 100/5

H = 20 m

The distance between two charged objects is doubled. What happens to the electrostatic force between the two?a)It will double.b)
zzz [600]

Answer:

d) It will be cut to a fourth of the original force.

Explanation:

The magnitude of the electrostatic force between the charged objects is

F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

q1 and q2 are the charges of the two objects

r is the separation between the two objects

In this problem, the initial distance is doubled, so

r' = 2r

Therefore, the new electrostatic force will be

F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{(r')^2}=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{(2r)^2}=\frac{1}{4}(k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2})=\frac{1}{4}F

So, the force will be cut to 1/4 of the original value.

Explain Archimedes Principle
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

Archimedes' principle states that the upward buoyant force that is exerted on a body immersed in a fluid, whether fully or partially, is equal to the weight of the fluid that the body displaces. Archimedes' principle is a law of physics fundamental to fluid mechanics. It was formulated by Archimedes of Syracuse.
