Answer:

The final kinetic energy is  K =  1.1 \ J

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The electric field is  E =  100 \ V/m

    The charge on the object is  q =  4.5 mC  =  4.5 *10^{-3} \ C

    The mass of the object is  m_o  =  68 \ g  = 0.68 \ kg

     The distance moved by the object is d =  1.0 \ m

The workdone on the object by the fields  is  mathematically represented as

   W =  [qE + mg]d

Now this workdone is equivalent to the final kinetic energy so  

      K = W =  [qE + mg]d

substituting values

        K = W =  [4.5*10^{-3  } *100  + 0.68 * 9.8]* 1

        K =  1.1 \ J

A spotlight on a boat is y = 2.2 m above the water, and the light strikes the water at a point that is x = 8.5 m horizontally di
slava [35]

Answer:

The answer to the question is

The distance d, which locates the point where the light strikes the bottom is   29.345 m from the spotlight.

Explanation:

To solve the question we note that Snell's law states that

The product of the incident index and the sine of the angle of incident is equal to the product of the refractive index and the sine of the angle of refraction

n₁sinθ₁ = n₂sinθ₂

y = 2.2 m and strikes at x = 8.5 m, therefore tanθ₁ = 2.2/8.5 = 0.259 and

θ₁ =  14.511 °

n₁ = 1.0003 = refractive index of air

n₂ = 1.33 = refractive index of water

Therefore sinθ₂ =  \frac{n_1sin\theta_1}{n_2}  = \frac{1.003*0.251}{1.33} = 0.1885 and θ₂ = 10.86 °

Since the water depth is 4.0 m we have tanθ₂ = \frac{4}{x_2} or x₂ = \frac{4}{tan\theta_2 } =\frac{4}{tan(10.86)} = 20.845 m

d = x₂ + 8.5 = 20.845 m + 8.5 m = 29.345 m.

the moon revolves around the earth in a nearly circular orbit kept by gravitational force exerted by the earth work done will be
rodikova [14]

Answer:

Zero because the applied force is perpendicular to the motion of the object.

No work is done on an object moving is a circular path about a central attractive force.

Any work done in such a case would result in a change in the orbit.

What is the daily use of the deltoid?
Ghella [55]

Answer:

In our everyday life, the deltoids take on most of the work in rotating our arms, but besides that the deltoid muscle also allows us to carry objects at a safe distance from the body. It is also responsible from stopping a dislocation or injury to the humerus when we carry something heavy.

You are on vacation in San Francisco and decide to take a cable car to see the city. A 5800-kgkg cable car goes 260 mm up a hill
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

4.325\times10^6J

Explanation:

Mass of the cable car, m = 5800 kg

It goes 260 m up a hill, along a slope of \theta=17^o

Therefore vertical elevation of the car = 260sin\theta=260sin17^o=76.0166m

Now, when you get into the cable car, it's velocity is zero, that is, initial kinetic energy is zero (since K.E. = \frac{1}{2} mv^2). Similarly as the car reaches the top, it halts and hence final kinetic energy is zero.

Therefore the only possible change in the cable car system is the change in it's gravitational potential energy.

Hence, total change in energy = mgh = 5800\times9.81\times76.0166J=4.325\times10^6J

where, g = acceleration due to gravity

h = height/vertical elevation
