Work is done when a force is applied to an object moves that object. the work is calculated by multiplying the force by the amount of movement of an object

Answer:

Work done is the product of the force applied on a body or object and the distance covered.

Explanation:

Work done = F x d

Where F is force measured in newton and d is the distance covered measured in metres.

Coulomb's law is expressed mathematically as

nataly862011 [7]

Force between two charges =

( 1/4πε₀ ) · (Charge #1) · (Charge #2) / (Distance between them)²

in the direction away from each other.

In other words, if the force is positive, the charges are repelling.
If the force is negative, the charges are attracting.

At an instant when the displacement is equal to a/2, what fraction of the total energy of the system is potential?

madreJ [45]

<span>At an instant when the displacement is equal to a/2, Potential energy U = 1/2ka(square) where a is displacement. when a= a/2 U = 1/4ka(square) U = E/4 Potential Energy = 1/4 Total energy</span>

In an experiment, a disk is set into motion such that it rotates with a constant angular speed. As the disk spins, a small spher

boyakko [2]

Answer:

L₀ = L_f , K_f < K₀

Explanation:

For this exercise we start as the angular momentum, with the friction force they are negligible and if we define the system as formed by the disk and the clay sphere, the forces during the collision are internal and therefore the angular momentum is conserved.

This means that the angular momentum before and after the collision changes.

Initial instant. Before the crash

L₀ = I₀ w₀

Final moment. Right after the crash

L_f = (I₀ + mr²) w

we treat the clay sphere as a point particle

how the angular momentum is conserved

L₀ = L_f

I₀ w₀ = (I₀ + mr²) w

w = $\frac{I_o}{I_o + m r^2}$ w₀

having the angular velocities we can calculate the kinetic energy

starting point. Before the crash

K₀ = ½ I₀ w₀²

final point. After the crash

K_f = ½ (I₀ + mr²) w²

sustitute

K_f = ½ (I₀ + mr²) ( $\frac{I_o}{I_o + m r^2}$ w₀)²

Kf = ½ $\frac{I_o^2}{ I_o + m r^2}$ w₀²

we look for the relationship between the kinetic energy

$\frac{K_f}{K_o}$ = $\frac{I_o}{I_o + m r^2}$

$\frac{K_f}{K_o } < 1$

K_f < K₀

we see that the kinetic energy is not constant in the process, this implies that part of the energy is transformed into potential energy during the collision

) A satellite of mass m has an orbital period T when it is in a circular orbit of radius R around the earth. If the satellite in

Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

A) T.

Explanation:

Kepler's third law states that the orbital period (T) of a satellite is related with the radius (R) and the mass of the object (M) it orbits:

$T=\frac{2\pi R^{\frac{3}{2}}}{\sqrt{GM}}$

So the orbital period is independent of the mass of the satellite, that means no matter the mass every satellite at a radius R around the earth have an orbital period A.
