The Burj Khalifa in Dubai is the world's tallest building. The structure is 828 m (2,716.5 feet) and has more than 160 stories.

A tourist is obviously using the elevator to reach their hotel room and after a long ride finally arrives at the correct floor where the tourist has − 187000 J of potential energy. If the 184 lb tourist has zero potential energy at the top of the building, what is the height h of the hotel room above the ground? The acceleration due to gravity is 9.81 m/s2.

Answer:

 h = 599.5 m

Explanation:

Given,

height of structure = 828 m

weight of the tourist = 184 lb

                                 = 184 x 0.45359 = 83.43 Kg

Potential energy = 187000 J

PE = m gd

d = \frac{PE}{mg}

d = \frac{187000}{83.43\times 9.81}

h = 228.5 m

Height of the room above the ground.

 h = 828 - 228.5

 h = 599.5 m

Height of the floor above ground is equal to 599.5 m.

Two positive charges are equal. Which has more electric potential energy?
Xelga [282]

Electrostatic potential energy of a system of charge is given by

U = \frac{kq_1q_2}{r}

here we have

q_1,q_2 = two charges of different magnitudes

r = distance between charges

so here we can see that electrostatic potential energy will depends upon the product of two charges and inversely depends upon the distance between the two charges

So here we can say that the electrostatic potential energy of two charges will be same and equal to each other

What is the potential difference across a parallel-plate capacitor whose plates are separated by a distance of 4.0 mm where each
suter [353]

The potential difference across the parallel plate capacitor is 2.26 millivolts

<h3>Capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor</h3>

The capacitance of the parallel plate capacitor is given by C = ε₀A/d where

  • ε₀ = permittivity of free space = 8.854 × 10⁻¹² F/m,
  • A = area of plates and
  • d = distance between plates = 4.0 mm = 4.0 × 10⁻³ m.

<h3>Charge on plates</h3>

Also, the surface charge on the capacitor Q = σA where

  • σ = charge density = 5.0 pC/m² = 5.0 × 10⁻¹² C/m² and
  • a = area of plates.

<h3>The potential difference across the parallel plate capacitor</h3>

The potential difference across the parallel plate capacitor is V = Q/C

= σA ÷ ε₀A/d

= σd/ε₀

Substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

V = σd/ε₀

V = 5.0 × 10⁻¹² C/m² × 4.0 × 10⁻³ m/8.854 × 10⁻¹² F/m

V = 20.0 C/m × 10⁻³/8.854 F/m

V = 2.26 × 10⁻³ Volts

V = 2.26 millivolts

So, the potential difference across the parallel plate capacitor is 2.26 millivolts
