A force parallel to the x-axis acts on a particle moving along the x-axis. This force produces potential energy U(x) given by U(

x)=αx4,where α = 0.750 J/m4J/m4.
# What is the magnitude of the force when the particle is at x = -0.800 m?

Answer:

Explanation:

U(x)=αx⁴

Force F = - dU / dx

= 4αx³

= 4 x .75 x³

= 3 x³

Force when x = .8 m

F =  3 (0.8)³

= 1.54 N

How can a 1kg ball have more kinetic energy than a 100kg ball? Explain both using words and by providing a numerical example
MariettaO [177]

1 kg ball can have more kinetic energy than a 100 kg ball as increase in velocity is having greater impact on K.E than increase in mass.

<u>Explanation</u>:

We know kinetic energy can be judged or calculated by two parameters only which is mass and velocity. As kinetic energy is directly proportional to the (velocity)^2 and increase in velocity leads to greater effect on translational Kinetic Energy. Here formula of Kinetic Energy suggests that doubling the mass will double its K.E but doubling velocity will quadruple its velocity:

\text { Kinetic Energy }=\frac{1}{2} m v^{2}

Better understood from numerical example as given:

If a man A having weight 50 kg run with speed 5 m/s and another man B having 100 kg weight run with 2.5 m / s. Which man will have more K.E?

This can be solved as follows:

\text { Kinetic Energy of } \mathrm{A}=\frac{1}{2} 50 \times 5^{2}=625 \mathrm{J}

\text { Kinetic Energy bf } \mathrm{B}=\frac{1}{2} 100 \times 2.5^{2}=312.5 \mathrm{J}

It shows that man A will have more K.E.

Hence 1 kg ball can have more K.E than 100 kg ball by doubling velocity.

you throw an object straight up at 15m/s. how fast is it going when it gets back to the height from which you threw it?
laiz [17]
At the same speed because it will slow down as it approaches the peak then speed up as it goes down again


it will be going 15m/s when it gets to the same height if we neglect air resistance and the object doesn't hit something

Asbestos would most likely be found where in a house?
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Asbestos would most likely be found <u>around pipes</u> in a house.

Asbestos is nan organic naturally occurring mineral.

Its composition is similar to thin fibers like crystals of of silicate mineral.

The fibers of Asbestos are so thin and microscopic that they liberate into the atmosphere due to erosion and other processes.

These tiny particles are considered harmful for health as they are carcinogenic in nature and causes mesothelioma.

Its melting point is between 400 to 1,040 °C and is available in blue, green, grey white and yellow color.

the half-life of iodine-131 is 8.1 days. how much time had passed if i only have one-fourth of the original sample?​
morpeh [17]

Answer:

16.2 days

Explanation:

Find the number of halflives:

1/2   *  1/2 =  1/4     so <u>two</u>   halflives have passed

   2 * 8.1 days = 16.2 days
