Answer: The 6 kg rock sitting on a 3.2 m cliff.

Explanation:

The potential energy of an object of mass M that is at a height H above the ground us:

U = M*H*g

where g is the gravitational acceleration:

g = 9.8m/s^2

Then:

"An 8 kg rock sitting on a 2.2 m cliff"

M = 8kg

H = 2.2m

U = 8kg*2.2m*9.8 m/s^2 = 172.48 J

"a 6 kg rock sitting on a 3.2 m cliff"

M = 6kg

H = 3.2m

U = 6kg*3.2m*9.8m/s^2 = 188.16 J

You can see that the 6kg rock on a 3.2m cliff has a larger potential energy.

Answer:

B=9.1397*10^-4 Tesla

Explanation:

To find the velocity first we put kinetic energy og electron is equal to potential energy of electron

K.E=P.E

$\frac{1}{2}*m*v^{2} =e*V$

where :

m is the mass of electron

v is the velocity

V is the potential difference

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2*e*V}{m} }$ eq 1

Radius of electron moving in magnetic field is given by:

$R=\frac{m*v}{q*B}$ eq 2

where:

m is the mass of electron

v is the velocity

q=e=charge of electron

B is the magnitude of magnetic field

Put v from eq 1 into eq 2

$R=\frac{m*\sqrt{\frac{2*e*V}{m} } }{e B}$

$B=\sqrt{\frac{2*m*V}{e*R^{2} } }$

$B=\sqrt{\frac{2*(9.31*10^{-31})*(2.12*10^{3}) }{(1.60*10^{-19})*(0.170)^{2} } }$

B=9.1397*10^-4 Tesla

12 ounces of beer plus 12 ounces of wine plus 3 ounces of liquor = how

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

12 ounces of beer plus 12 ounces of wine plus 3 ounces of liquor are equivalent to 6 drinks.

Explanation:

In the United States, a standard "drink" of beer has 12 ounces, a standard "drink" of wine has 5 ounces and standard drink of liquor has 1.5 ounces. Then, we obtain the quantity of drinks by dividing the total volume of each drink by its respective unit volume and summing each term. That is:

$N = \frac{12\,oz}{12\,\frac{oz}{dr} }+\frac{12\,oz}{5\,\frac{oz}{dr} }+\frac{3\,oz}{1.5\,\frac{oz}{dr} }$
