Answer:

a. Potential energy decreases and Kinetic energy increases

Explanation:

Because as he comes down due to its steepness the speed of the boy or you can say his KE increases and since he comes from a high position (hill) to the lower ground his potential energy decreases simultaneously

Halley's comet orbits the sun roughly once every 76 years. It comes very close to the surface of the Sun on its closest approach

Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

r1 = 5*10^10 m , r2 = 6*10^12 m

v1 = 9*10^4 m/s

From conservation of energy

K1 +U1 = K2 +U2

0.5mv1^2 - GMm/r1 = 0.5mv2^2 - GMm/r2

0.5v1^2 - GM/r1 = 0.5v2^2 - GM/r2

M is mass of sun = 1.98*10^30 kg

G = 6.67*10^-11 N.m^2/kg^2

0.5*(9*10^4)^2 - (6.67*10^-11*1.98*10^30/(5*10^10)) = 0.5v2^2 - (6.67*10^-11*1.98*10^30/(6*10^12))

v2 = 5.35*10^4 m/s

Particle A and particle B, each of mass M, move along the x-axis exerting a force on each other. The potential energy of the sys

Archy [21]

Speed of particle B is 2v₀/3 m/s to the left. Particle A and particle B will always have equal speed since they experience equal forces.

<h3>Conservation of energy</h3>

The speed and direction of the particle B is determined by applying the principle of conservation of energy as follows;

K.E₁ + P.E₁ = K.E₂ + P.E₂

$\frac{1}{2} Mv^2_A + \frac{G}{r^2} = \frac{1}{2} Mv^2_B + \frac{G}{r^2} \\\\ \frac{1}{2} Mv^2_A = \frac{1}{2} Mv^2_B\\\\v^2_A = v^2_B\\\\v_A = v_B$

$v_B = \frac{2v_0}{3} \ m/s \ to \ the \ left$

At any given position, the speed of particle A and particle B will be equal, since they experience equal force and they have equal masses.

The complete question is below:

Particle A and particle B, each of mass M, move along the x-axis exerting a force on each other. The potential energy of the system of two particles assosicated with the force is given by the equation U=G/r 2, where r is the distance between the two particles and G is a positive constant. At time t=T1 particle A is observed to be traveling with speed 2vo/3 to the left. The speed and direction of motion of particle B is ?

create a formula giving the strength of the induced field (B) i terms of current (I) and the distance from the wire to the probe

iren [92.7K]

So we need to find the formula for magnetic field B using the current (I) and the distance from the probe (d). So, We know that the stronger the current I, the stronger the magnetic field B. That tells us that the I and B are proportional. Also we know that the strength of the magnetic field B is weaker as the distance d of the probe increases. That tells us that B and d are inversely proportional. So our formula should have B=(I/d)*c where c is a constant of proportionality. c=μ₀/2π where μ₀ is the permeability of free space. So finally our formula is B=(μ₀I)/(2πd).
