Answer:

Correct answer letter b.

Explanation:

When the book is on the top shelf of the bookcase, it just only gravitational potential energy, due to the gravitational field and the kinetic energy at this point is zero because the book is at rest.

Now, when the book starts falling, all the potential energy will transform into the kinetic energy. It happens, thanks to the conservation of the energy,that says energy can neither be created nor destroyed, energy can only be transferred or changed from one form to another.

Let's recall that the gravitational potential energy depends on the object's position, so when the book falls, the magnitude of the position decreases and the speed of this object increases.

Therefore, the potential energy of the book decreases as kinetic energy increases.

Correct answer letter b.

Do you have to keep citing the same source
emmasim [6.3K]
I don't think so as long as you make it apparent that the information comes the same source. So citing over and over again is unnecessary as long as it's clear that the information is from the same website or source. If you can't make it clear that they are from the same website source, it would a safe choice to continue to cite to avoid allegations of plagiarism.

A wire with resistance R is connected to the terminals of a 6.0 V battery. What is the potential difference between the ends of
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

Potential difference = 6.0 V

I for 1.0Ω = 6 A

I for 2.0Ω = 3 A

I for 3.0Ω = 2 A

Explanation:

Potential difference (ΔV) = Current (I) x Resistance (R)

The potential difference is constant and equals 6.0 V, hence;

I = ΔV/R

When R = 1.0, I =6/1 = 6 amperes

When R = 2.0, I = 6/2 = 3 amperes

When R = 3.0, I = 6/3 = 2 amperes

<em>The potential difference is 6.0 V and the current is 6, 3, and 2 amperes for a resistance of 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0Ω respectively.</em>

OlgaM077 [116]

Explanation:

Area of ring \ 2{\pi} a d a

Charge of on ring d q=-(\ 2{\pi} a d a)

Charge on disk

Q=-\left(\pi R^{2}\right)

\begin{aligned}d v &=\frac{k d q}{\sqrt{x^{2}+a^{2}}} \\&=2 \pi-k \frac{a d a}{\sqrt{x^{2}+a^{2}}} \\v(1) &=2 \pi c k \int_{0}^{R} \frac{a d a}{\sqrt{x^{2}+a^{2}}} \cdot_{2 \varepsilon_{0}}^{2} R \\&=2 \pi \sigma k[\sqrt{x^{2}+a^{2}}]_{0}^{2} \\&=\frac{2 \pi \sigma}{4 \pi \varepsilon_{0}}[\sqrt{z^{2}+R^{2}}-(21)] \\&=\frac{\sigma}{2}(\sqrt{2^{2}+R^{2}}-2)\end{aligned}
