Answer:

For the purposes of your question, we can think of speed and velocity as being the same thing. Therefore, the kinetic energy of an object is proportional to the square of its velocity (speed). In other words, If there is a twofold increase in speed, the kinetic energy will increase by a factor of four.

The kinetic energy of an object is directly proportional to the square of the speed of the object.

Explanation: 

The kinetic energy is the measure of energy exerted by the object during its state of motion. The kinetic energy depend on the mass of the object and the speed the object is moving. So, the kinetic energy is related to square of the speed of the object.

$\text { Kinetic energy }=\frac{1}{2} \times \text { mass of the object } \times \text { (velocity of the object) }^{2}$

Thus, kinetic energy is directly proportional to the square of the speed of the object. So, as the speed of the object increases the kinetic energy increases double the times of its speed of the object.

We anticipate a constant Poynting vector of magnitude since the hot resistor will be emitting heat and none of the electric or magnetic fields will change over time.

S = P/A

Always pointing away from the wire, this Poynting vector.

<h3>What is the Poynting vector?</h3>

Describes the size and direction of the energy flow in electromagnetic waves using a Poynting vector. It bears the name of the 1884 invention of English physicist John Henry Poynting. It stands for the electromagnetic field's directional energy flux or power flow. The Poynting vector is significant in a static electromagnetic field because it determines the direction of energy flow in an electromagnetic field. This vector represents the radiation pressure of an electromagnetic wave and points in its direction of propagation.

Remember to include your data, equation, and work when solving this problem.

andrezito [222]

Answer:

F = 0.00156[N]

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using Newton's proposed universal gravitation law.

$F=G*\frac{m_{1} *m_{2} }{r^{2} } \\$

Where:

F = gravitational force between the moon and Ellen; units [Newtos] or [N]

G = universal gravitational constant = 6.67 * 10^-11 [N^2*m^2/(kg^2)]

m1= Ellen's mass [kg]

m2= Moon's mass [kg]

r = distance from the moon to the earth [meters] or [m].

Data:

G = 6.67 * 10^-11 [N^2*m^2/(kg^2)]

m1 = 47 [kg]

m2 = 7.35 * 10^22 [kg]

r = 3.84 * 10^8 [m]

$F=6.67*10^{-11} * \frac{47*7.35*10^{22} }{(3.84*10^8)^{2} }\\ F= 0.00156 [N]$

This force is very small compare with the force exerted by the earth to Ellen's body. That is the reason that her body does not float away.

Why does a gymnast rub powder on his hands before exercising on a set of parallel bars? (I need a scientific answer)

dlinn [17]

Answer

To increase friction for a better grip.

Answer

Most human beings do sweat hands especially on the palm. When this happens the person will not have a good grip of heavy objects because they will slide/slip from the hand.

By applying the powder, you are trying to make the hand dry hence increasing the friction for a better grip.

If the gymnast doesn't do this the parallel bars may slip from the hands and injure himself or herself.

The magnitude of displacements a and b are 3m and 4m, respectively, c=a+b. What is the magnitude of c if the angel between a and

AysviL [449]

Answer:

(a) 7 m

(b) 1 m

Explanation:

Given:

The magnitude of displacement vector 'a' is 3 m

The magnitude of displacement vector 'b' is 4 m.

The vector 'c' is the vector sum of vectors 'a' and 'b'.

(a)

Now, when the angle between the vectors is 0°, it means that the vectors are in the same direction. When vectors are in the same direction, then their resultant magnitude is simply the sum of their magnitudes.

So, magnitude of 'c' when 'a' and 'b' are in same direction is given as:

$|\overrightarrow c|=|\overrightarrow a|+|\overrightarrow b|\\\\|\overrightarrow c|=3 + 4 = 7\ m$

Therefore, the magnitude of vector 'c' is 7 m when angle between 'a' and 'b' is 0°.

(b)

When the angle between the vectors is 180°, it means that the vectors are exactly in the opposite direction. When the vectors are in opposite direction, then their resultant magnitude is the subtraction of their magnitudes.

So, magnitude of 'c' when 'a' and 'b' are in opposite direction is:

$|\overrightarrow c|=||\overrightarrow a|-|\overrightarrow b||\\\\|\overrightarrow c|=|3 - 4| = 1\ m$

Therefore, the magnitude of vector 'c' is 1 m when angle between 'a' and 'b' is 180°.
