Which object would have more potential energy, a bowling ball stored on a high shelf, or a base ball on the same shelf? Why? Whi

ch one would you rather have fall on your head?

Answer:

A bowling ball stored on a high shelf has more potential energy

A base ball on the same shelf should rather fall on my head

Explanation:

Potential energy =mgh where m= mass, g= gravitational force and h is height

The bowling ball is bigger and heavier than the base ball

which means more mass . The remaining parameters are constant.

This means the bowling ball has more potential energy.

Since the base ball is lighter then it’s preferable to land on someone’s head due to the lesser force it will expert and lesser pain too.

Mary has a mass of 40 kg and sprints at 1 m/s. How much kinetic energy does she have?
Sav [38]

Answer:

20 J

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is given as half of the product of mass and the square of velocity of an object:

KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

where m = mass = 40 kg

v = velocity = 1 m/s

Hence, Mary's kinetic energy is:

KE = \frac{1}{2} * 40 * 1^2

KE = 20 * 1 = 20 J

She has a kinetic energy of 20 J.

A proton enters a uniform magnetic field of strength 1 T at 300 m/s. The magnetic field is oriented perpendicular to the proton’
scZoUnD [109]

A charged particle moving in a magnetic field experiences a force equal to:

\vec{F}=q\vec{v}\times \vec{B}

Thus, the magnitude of the force that the proton experiences is given by:

F=qvBsin\theta

The magnetic field is perpendicular to the proton's velocity, therefore, we have \theta=90^\circ. Replacing the given values, we obtain:

F=1.6*10^{-19}C(300\frac{m}{s})(1T)sin(90^\circ)\\F=4.8*10^{-17}N
