The gravitational potential energy of an object, measured with respect to the ground, is given by
U=mgh
where m is the object's mass, g is the gravitational acceleration and h is the height of the object measured from the ground.

In our problem, the mass of the plane is m= 5 tons = 5000 kg, while the potential energy is
U=1000 kJ=1 \cdot 10^6 J
so we can re-arrange the previous formula and use these data to calculate h, the height of the airplane:
h= \frac{U}{mg}= \frac{1 \cdot 10^6 J}{(5000 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)} =20.39 m

A uniform electric field of magnitude 4.6 ✕ 104 N/C is perpendicular to a square sheet with sides 3.0 m long. What is the electr
rodikova [14]

Answer:

41.4* 10^4 N.m^2/C

Explanation:

given:

E= 4.6 * 10^4 N/C

electric field is 4.6 * 10^4 N/C and square sheet is perpendicular to electric field so, area of vector is parallel to electric field

then electric flux = ∫ E*n dA

                            = ∫ 4.6 * 10^4 * 3*3

                            = 41.4* 10^4 N.m^2/C

Answer:

Answer:

3 g/cm          

Explanation:

Mass of stone = 30 g

Initial volume of cylinder = 50 cm

Increased volume = 60 cm

Volume = 60-50

= 10 cm

Density of stone = Mass/Volume

= 30/10

= 3 g/ml            as 1 ml = 1 cm

= 3 g/ml
