The potential energy of a body is the maximum at the highest position of that body. So for example, if the maximum position of the ball is at 3 m, there will be the maximum potential energy.

To get the half of the maximum potential energy, the ball should be at the half of the maximum position, which is 1.5 m.

A 2.0 kg sphere with a velocity of 6.0 m/s collides head-on and elastically with a stationary 10 kg sphere
dmitriy555 [2]

Question: A 2.0 kg sphere with a velocity of 6.0 m/s collides head-on and elastically with a stationary 10 kg sphere, What is thier velocities after collision.

Answer:

v = 6 m/s, v' = 0 m/s

Explanation:

From the question,

For Elastic collision,

mu+m'u' = mv+m'v'......................... Equation 1

Where m = mass of the first sphere, m' = mass of the second sphere, u = initial velocity of the first sphere, u' = initial velocity of the second sphere, v = final veolocity of the first sphere, v' = final velocity of the second sphere.

Also,

The relative velocity before collision = relative velocity after collision

u-u' = v-v'............................ Equation 2

Given:  m = 2 kg, m' = 10 kg, u = 6 m/s, u' = 0 m/s

Substitute into equation 1 and 2

2(6)+10(0) = 2v+10v'

2v+10v' = 12.............. Equation 3

6-0 = v-v'

v-v' = 6 ................... Equation 4

Solve equation 3 and 4 simultaneously.

v = 6+v'............. Equation 5

Substitute equation 5 into equation 3

2(6+v')+10v' = 12

12+2v'+10v' = 12

12v' = 12-12

v' = 0/12

v' = 0 m/s.

Also substitute the value of v' into equation 5

v = 6+0

v = 6 m/s

A solenoid 25.0 cmcm long and with a cross-sectional area of 0.550 cm^2 contains 460 turns of wire and carries a current of 90.0
ankoles [38]

Answer:

a.  B = 0.20T

b.  u = 17230.6 J/m³

c.  E = 0.236J

d.  L = 5.84*10^-5 H

Explanation:

a. In order to calculate the magnetic field in the solenoid you use the following formula:

B=\frac{\mu_o n i}{L}               (1)

μo: magnetic permeability of vacuum = 4π*10^-7 T/A

n: turns of the solenoid = 460

L: length of the solenoid = 25.0cm = 0.25m

i: current  = 90.0A

You replace the values of the parameters in the equation (1):

B=\frac{(4\pi*10^{-7}T/A)(460)(90.0A)}{0.25m}=0.20T

The magnetic field in the solenoid is 0.20T

b. The magnetic permeability of air is approximately equal to the magnetic permeability of vacuum. To calculate the energy density in the solenoid you use:

u=\frac{B^2}{2\mu_o}=\frac{(0.20T)^2}{2(4\pi*10^{-7}T/A)}=17230.6\frac{J}{m^3}

The energy density is 17230.6 J/m³

c. The total energy contained in the solenoid is:

E=uV           (2)

V is the volume of the solenoid and is calculated by assuming the solenoid as a perfect cylinder:

V=AL

A: cross-sectional area of the solenoid = 0.550 cm^2 = 5.5*10^-5m^2

V=(5.5*10^{-5}m^2)(0.25m)=1.375*10^{-5}m^3

Then, the energy contained in the solenoid is:

E=(17230.6J/m^3)(1.375*10^{-5}m^3)=0.236J

The energy contained is 0.236J

d. The inductance of the solenoid is calculated as follow:

L=\frac{\mu_o N^2 A}{L}=\frac{(4\pi*10^{-7}T/A)(460)^2(5.5*10^{-5}m^2)}{0.25m}\\\\L=5.84*10^{-5}H

The inductance of the solenoid is 5.84*10^-5 H

A runner is moving at a constant speed of 8.00 m/s around a circular track. If the distance from the runner to the center of the
Genrish500 [490]

Answer: Last option

2.27 m/s2

Explanation:

As the runner is running at a constant speed then the only acceleration present in the movement is the centripetal acceleration.

If we call a_c to the centripetal acceleration then, by definition

a_c =w^2r = \frac{v^2}{r}

in this case we know the speed of the runner

v =8.00\ m/s

The radius "r" will be the distance from the runner to the center of the track

r = 28.2\ m

a_c = \frac{8^2}{28.2}\ m/s^2

a_c = 2.27\ m/s^2

The answer is the last option
