What Kinetic energy is exactly equal to Gravitational Potential Energy why is height halfway between the maximum height?

5 0

Explanation:

Let us calculate the work done in lifting an object of mass m through a height h, such as in Figure 1. If the object is lifted straight up at constant speed, then the force needed to lift it is equal to its weight mg. The work done on the mass is then W = Fd = mgh. We define this to be the gravitational potential energy (PEg) put into (or gained by) the object-Earth system. This energy is associated with the state of separation between two objects that attract each other by the gravitational force

Potential energy is a property of a system rather than of a single object—due to its physical position. An object’s gravitational potential is due to its position relative to the surroundings within the Earth-object system. The force applied to the object is an external force, from outside the system. When it does positive work it increases the gravitational potential energy of the system. Because gravitational potential energy depends on relative position, we need a reference level at which to set the potential energy equal to 0. We usually choose this point to be Earth’s surface, but this point is arbitrary; what is important is the difference in gravitational potential energy, because this difference is what relates to the work done. The difference in gravitational potential energy of an object (in the Earth-object system) between two rungs of a ladder will be the same for the first two rungs as for the last two rungs.

A particle that has mass m and charge q enters a uniform magnetic field that has magnitude B and is directed along the x axis. T
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

a) The trajectory will be a helical path.

b) θ = 2*π rad

Explanation:

a) Since the initial velocity of the particle has a component parallel (x-component) to the magnetic  field B , the trajectory will be a helical path.

b) Given

t = 2*π*m/(q*B)

We can use the equation

θ = ω*Δt

where

θ is the angular displacement

ω is the angular speed, which is obtained as follows:

ω = q*B/m

then we have

θ = (q*B/m)*2*π*m/(q*B)

⇒  θ = 2*π rad
