<u>Answer</u>

672,000 Joules

<u>Explanation</u>

Gravitational potential energy (P.E) is the energy possessed by a body that is at a potential height from the ground.

IT is calculated by the formula;

P.E = mgh

Where m ⇒ mass

            g ⇒ acceleration due to gravity

            h ⇒ height from trhe ground.

P.E = 1200 × 1.6 × 350

      = 672,000 Joules.

Density of iron in CGS unit is 7.8 g/cm3. Its density is SI is
kumpel [21]

Answer:

7800kg/m³

Explanation:

Density of iron in CGS unit is 7.8 g/cm3. Its density is SI is

Given the density of iron = 7.8 g/cm3.

The SI units must be in kg/m³

7.8g = 7.8/1000 kg

7.8g = 0.0078kg

1cm³ = 0.000001m³

7.8g/cm³

= 0.0078/0.000001 kg/m³

= 7800kg/m³

Hence the density in SI unit is 7800kg/m³

A uniformly charged ring of radius 10.0 cm has a total charge of 75.0 mC. Find the electric field on the axis of the ring at (a)
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

(a) 6650246.305 N/C

(b) 24150268.34 N/C

(c) 6408227.848 N/C

(d) 665024.6305 N/C

Explanation:

Given:

Radius of the ring (r) = 10.0 cm = 0.10 m           [1 cm = 0.01 m]

Total charge of the ring (Q) = 75.0 μC = 75\times 10^{-6}\ \mu C    [1 μC = 10⁻⁶ C]

Electric field on the axis of the ring of radius 'r' at a distance of 'x' from the center of the ring is given as:

E_x=\dfrac{kQx}{(x^2+r^2)^\frac{3}{2}}

Plug in the given values for each point and solve.

(a)

Given:

Q=75\times 10^{-6}\ \mu C, r=0.01\ m, a=1.00\ cm=0.01\ m,k=9\times 10^{9}\ Nm^2/C^2

Electric field is given as:

E_x=\dfrac{(9\times 10^{9})(75\times 10^{-6})(0.01)}{((0.01)^2+(0.1)^2)^\frac{3}{2}}\\\\E_x=\dfrac{6750}{1.015\times 10^{-3}}\\\\E_x=6650246. 305\ N/C

(b)

Given:

Q=75\times 10^{-6}\ \mu C, r=0.01\ m, a=5.00\ cm=0.05\ m,k=9\times 10^{9}\ Nm^2/C^2

Electric field is given as:

E_x=\dfrac{(9\times 10^{9})(75\times 10^{-6})(0.05)}{((0.05)^2+(0.1)^2)^\frac{3}{2}}\\\\E_x=\dfrac{33750}{1.3975\times 10^{-3}}\\\\E_x=24150268.34\ N/C

(c)

Given:

Q=75\times 10^{-6}\ \mu C, r=0.01\ m, a=30.0\ cm=0.30\ m,k=9\times 10^{9}\ Nm^2/C^2

Electric field is given as:

E_x=\dfrac{(9\times 10^{9})(75\times 10^{-6})(0.30)}{((0.30)^2+(0.1)^2)^\frac{3}{2}}\\\\E_x=\dfrac{202500}{0.0316}\\\\E_x=6408227.848\ N/C

(d)

Given:

Q=75\times 10^{-6}\ \mu C, r=0.01\ m, a=100\ cm=1\ m,k=9\times 10^{9}\ Nm^2/C^2

Electric field is given as:

E_x=\dfrac{(9\times 10^{9})(75\times 10^{-6})(1)}{((1)^2+(0.1)^2)^\frac{3}{2}}\\\\E_x=\dfrac{675000}{1.015}\\\\E_x=665024.6305\ N/C

4. A car, initially traveling east with a speed of
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

150 m

Explanation:

Given,

u=5m/s

a=2m/s2

t=10s

v=?

s=?

Now,

v=u+at

=5+2×10

=5+20

=25m/s

So,

s=u+v/2×t

=5+25/2×10

=30/2×10

=15×10

=150m

Compare and contrast the front limb bones of a human and a bat.
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

From the outside human arms, bird wings, and bats wings look very different. Humans are covered in skin, birds are covered in feathers, and bats are covered in hair. But on the inside there are many similarities among human, bird, and bat forearms. Did you know that humans, birds, and bats have the exact same types of bones in their forearm? These organisms share the same forearm bones because they all evolved from a common ancestor.

Human, bird, and bat forearm bones include the humerus, ulna, radius, carpals, metacarpals, and phalanges.

If, while standing on the bank of a stream, you wished to spear a fish swimming in the water out in front of you, would you aim
Serggg [28]

Answer:

<em>a) below the observed position</em>

<em>b) directly at the observed position</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

If I'm standing on the bank of a stream, and I wish to spear a fish swimming in the water out in front of me, I would aim below the observed fish to make a direct hit. This is because the phenomenon of refraction of light in water causes the light coming from the fish is refract away from the normal as it passes  into the air and into my eyes.

If I'm to zap the fish with a taser, I would aim directly at the observed fish because the laser (a form of concentrated light waves) will refract into the water, taking the same path the light from the fish took to get to my eyes.
