We know that -

P.E=m*g*h

Where,

m = mass

g = acceleration due to gravity

h=height

First we convert height into meters.

1 km = 1000 meters

3 km = 1000 * 3 meters = 3000 meters

So, putting the values in the above formula, and by taking 'g' = 9.8 m/s², we get-

P.E.= 2*3000*9.8

P.E.= 58800 Joules

P.E.= 58.8 kJ

Sairah's work is correct as far as it goes.  The potential energy of the ball
relative to the bottom of the hill is 58,800 Joules.

<u>To address the second part of the question:</u>
In order to get ahold of that energy, the ball must be returned to the bottom
of the hill. The most efficient way would be to drop it, so that it wouldn't have to
scrape along the grass on the way down. But that can only work if there's a sheer
cliff on one side of the hill. Otherwise, you just have to roll it down, and accept the
fact that it loses some of its energy to friction on the way.

However the ball gets to the bottom, the energy it has left shows up in the form
of kinetic energy, and 58,800 joules is a lot of kinetic energy.  If somehow the ball
could arrive at the bottom with ALL the energy it had at the top, it would be moving
at something like 540 miles per hour !

As a new electrical technician, you are designing a large solenoid to produce a uniform 0.170 T magnetic field near its center.
lord [1]

Answer:

Explanation:

Magnetic field = permeability x turn density x current

Magnetic field = 0.22T

turn density = 4150 /1.6 = 2593.75 t/m

permeability : µ = k µ°

µ°= 4 π 10^-7

k = 1

I = 0.22 / 4 π 10^-7 * 2593.75 = 0.22 10^7 /32594 = 67.497 A
