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.

What are the properties of transverse waves in physics
jarptica [38.1K]

Transverse wave, movement in which all focuses on a wave sway along ways at right edges to the course of the wave's development. Surface swells on water, seismic S (auxiliary) waves, and electromagnetic (e.g., radio and light) waves are instances of transverse waves. Waves come in two assortments.

What is the acceleration of a proton moving with a speed of 6.5 m/s at right angles to a magnetic field of 1.8 t ?
defon
The magnetic force acting on the proton is 
F=qvB \sin \theta
where
q is the proton charge
v is its speed
B is the intensity of the magnetic field
\theta is the angle between the direction of v and B; since the proton is moving perpendicular to the magnetic field, \theta=90^{\circ} and \sin \theta=1, so the force becomes
F=qvB

this force provides the centripetal force that keeps the proton in circular motion:
m \frac{v^2}{r} = q v B
where the term on the left is the centripetal force, with
m being the mass of the proton
r the radius of its orbit

Re-arranging the previous equation, we can find the radius of the proton's orbit:
r= \frac{mv}{qB}= \frac{(1.67 \cdot 10^{-27} kg)(6.5 m/s)}{(1.6 \cdot 10^{-19} C)(1.8 T)}=3.77 \cdot 10^{-8}m

And now we can calculate the centripetal acceleration of the proton, which is given by
a_c =  \frac{v^2}{r}= \frac{(6.5 m/s)^2}{3.77\cdot 10^{-8}m}=1.12 \cdot 10^9 m/s^2

Joule’s law is a linear relationship, that is, the more heat you provide, the greater the temperature change. However, in the pr
Nitella [24]

Answer:

hydrogen bridge

Explanation:

Joule's relationship to heat and temperature is true for all materials where we assume that interatomic forces are linear, when atoms separate these forces decrease. There is a point where the separation between atoms is enough that thermal agitation can separate the molecules and there is a change of state, generally from solid to liquid and from liquid to vapor. When these changes of state are occurring all the energy supplied is used to break the links, so the temperature does not change.

In the specific case of water, there is a bond called a hydrogen bridge that breaks around 4ºC, therefore, at this temperature there is a deviation from the curve since this link is being broken, this does not lead to a change of macroscopic state.

For the other temperatures the water behaves like the other bodies.

the acceleration of a rocket traveling upward is given by a=(6+.02s)m/s^s, where s is in meters. Determine the rocket's velocity
NikAS [45]

Answer:

a) velocity v = 322.5m/s

b) time t = 19.27s

Explanation:

Note that;

ads = vdv

where

a is acceleration

s is distance

v is velocity

Given;

a = 6 + 0.02s

so,

\int\limits^s_0 {a} \, ds  = \int\limits^v_0 {v} \, dv\\ \int\limits^s_0 {6+0.02s} \, ds  = \int\limits^v_0 {v} \, dv\\ 6s + \frac{0.02s^{2} }{2} = \frac{1}{2} v^{2} \\v = \sqrt{12s + 0.02s^{2} } .....................1 \\\\\\

Remember that

v = \frac{ds}{dt} \\\frac{ds}{v} = dt\\\int\limits^s_0 {\frac{ds}{\sqrt{12s+0.02s^{2} } } } \, ds = \int\limits^t_0 {} \, dt \\t=  (5\sqrt{2} ) ln  \frac{| [s + 300 + \sqrt{(s^{2}  + 600s)} ] |}{300} .......2

substituting s = 2km =2000m, into equation 1

v = 322.5m/s

substituting s = 2000m into equation 2

t = 19.27s
