If the potential energy of the three-object system is to be a maximum (closest to zero), should object 3 be placed closer to object 1, closer to object 2, or halfway between them?

If the potential energy of the three-object system is to be a maximum (closest to zero), should object 3 be placed closer to object 1, closer to object 2, or halfway between them?

 

Object 3 should be placed closer to object 1.

 

Object 3 should be placed on a halfway between object 2 and object 1.

 

Object 3 should be placed closer to object 2.

 

Solution

I think that Object 3 should be placed closer to object 2.

Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

D. the wind picking up dust and carrying it

Explanation:

Erosion is a process in which an agent transfer the top soil to another region, thereby exposing the lower soil. These agents have the ability to move the top layer of soil and deposit it at another place. The major agents in this case are; a running or flowing body of water and wind.

Therefore, the change to the Earth's surface that is an example of erosion is the wind picking up dust and carrying it. Thereby exposing the lower layers.

List the 3 types of collisions that occur when your vehicle hits an object.
koban [17]

These collisions are: "a Vehicle Collision, a Human Collision, Internal Collision." A vehicle collision is a collision that involves two or more vehicles and is when the vehicles collide against each other creating a unbalanced force since how the force comes from opposite directions. A human collision would involve a vehicle and a human which would also be a unbalanced force but the human wouldn't have much affect of it's speed. A internal collision is when something happens inside the vehicle which decreases, or increases the vehicles speed.

Hope this helps!

A diver leaves the end of a 4.0 m high diving board and strikes the water 1.3s later, 3.0m beyond the end of the board. Consider
shutvik [7]

Answer:

4.0 m/s

Explanation:

The motion of the diver is the motion of a projectile: so we need to find the horizontal and the vertical component of the initial velocity.

Let's consider the horizontal motion first. This motion occurs with constant speed, so the distance covered in a time t is

d=v_x t

where here we have

d = 3.0 m is the horizontal distance covered

vx is the horizontal velocity

t = 1.3 s is the duration of the fall

Solving for vx,

v_x = \frac{d}{t}=\frac{3.0 m}{1.3 s}=2.3 m/s

Now let's consider the vertical motion: this is an accelerated motion with constant acceleration g=9.8 m/s^2 towards the ground. The vertical position at time t is given by

y(t) = h + v_y t - \frac{1}{2}gt^2

where

h = 4.0 m is the initial height

vy is the initial vertical velocity

We know that at t = 1.3 s, the vertical position is zero: y = 0. Substituting these numbers, we can find vy

0=h+v_y t - \frac{1}{2}gt^2\\v_y = \frac{0.5gt^2-h}{t}=\frac{0.5(9.8 m/s^2)(1.3 s)^2-4.0 m}{1.3 s}=3.3 m/s

So now we can find the magnitude of the initial velocity:

v=\sqrt{v_x^2+v_y^2}=\sqrt{(2.3 m/s)^2+(3.3 m/s)^2}=4.0 m/s

If we have a one-electron atom, and the electron can occupy any of 5 different energy levels, and transitions are possible betwe
xeze [42]

Answer:

10

Explanation:

 Lets say that a,b,c,d,e are the five allowed energy states in order of decreasing energy. Then the number of possible different spectral lines comes from the electron dropping from a high state to a lower state. So, they will do so in following ways:

a - b

a - c

a - d

a- e

b - c

b - d

b- e

c - d

c- e

d- e

Ans- Ten different possible energy jumps giving six different colors or lines in the spectrum.
