Answer:

Potential energy.

Explanation:

By the definition of potential energy we know that it is the energy possessed by the body by the virtue of its position. It is different from kinetic energy which is the virtue of the motion of a body.

Now formula of potential energy is:

PE = mgh

Where

PE = Potential energy

m = Mass of body

g = Acceleration due to gravity

Now imagine a container filled with water. Everyone knows that water is contained in form of tiny molecules which can be considered as layers on each other. Now the layers get higher and higher, each molecule on the higher layer is getting farther and farther from the base line of container.

Now according to formula of potential energy,

mass and acceleration due to gravity are same but height is increasing continuously, thus every molecule has greater potential energy comparing the molecule which belongs to the lower layer. In this way you can see that the only energy contained by the molecules of fluid at the higher level than the base is potential energy.

Now PE at base = mgh(1)

PE = at height = mg(h2)

since h2>h1

So magnitude of potential energy at the higher level will increase. So you can say that, above the base level, energy possessed by a fluid is Potential Energy.

aivan3 [116]

Answer:

As we keep on increasing the radius the value of the gravitation force of attraction decreases and as we decrease the radius the gravitation force increases.

Explanation:

Like the coulombs law of electrostatics, the law of gravitation also depends inversely on the square of the value of r. Therefore, as we keep on increasing the value of r the value of the gravitation force decreases and as we decrease the value of the r the value of gravitation force increases.

Gravitation Force=\frac{Gm_{1}m_{2} }{r^{2}}

Coulombs's Law= \frac{Kq_{1}q_{2} }{r^{2}}

What's the value of 1,152 Btu in joules? A. 1,964,445 J B. 2,485,664 J C. 987,875 J D. 1,215,360 J
OLga [1]

Answer: Option (d) is correct.

Explanation:

Given,  1,152 British thermal units

1 British thermal unit = 1055.06 joules

So, in 1,152 British thermal units there will be :

1152\times 1055.06 Joules=1215429.12 Joules=1.21542912\times 10^{8} Joules

Hence, from the given options the closest answer is of option (d). So, option (d) is correct.

How many excess electrons must be present on each sphere if the magnitude of the force of repulsion between them is 3.33××10âˆ
AlekseyPX

Answer:

There are 756.25 electrons present on each sphere.

Explanation:

Given that,

The force of repression between electrons, F=3.33\times 10^{-21}\ N

Let the distance between charges, d = 0.2 m

The electric force of repulsion between the electrons is given by :

F=k\dfrac{q^2}{r^2}

q=\sqrt{\dfrac{Fr^2}{k}}

q=\sqrt{\dfrac{3.33\times 10^{-21}\times (0.2)^2}{9\times 10^9}}

q=1.21\times 10^{-16}\ C

Let n are the number of excess electrons present on each sphere. It can be calculated using quantization of charges. It is given by :

q = ne

n=\dfrac{q}{e}

n=\dfrac{1.21\times 10^{-16}}{1.6\times 10^{-19}}

n = 756.25 electrons

So, there are 756.25 electrons present on each sphere. Hence, this is the required solution.
