Answer:

Decreases

Explanation:

As an object falls from some height, the gravitational potential energy of the object decreases.

Potential energy is the energy due to the position of a body.

The potential energy is mathematically expressed as:

Potential energy = mass x acceleration due to gravity x height

So, potential energy is directly proportional to mass and height.

The higher the mass and height, the more the potential energy.

Maurinko [17]

Answer:

B) along the -z-axis.

Explanation:

According to the Fleming's left hand rule we know that when a positive charge moves with velocity v perpendicular to the direction of magnetic field the it experiences a magnetic force perpendicular to the the plane in which the velocity vector and the magnetic field vector lies.

As a result all the three vector are mutually perpendicular in such a case.

Here as per given condition we have a negative charge moving along x-axis which experiences the deflection in -y direction so the magnetic field will be along the negative z axis i.e. into the screen.

in a hydraulic garage the small piston has a radius of 5 cm and the large piston has radius of 15 cm what force must be applied

viktelen [127]

The force applied to small piston = 2.2 x 10³ N

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

a radius of 5 cm and 15 cm

weight 20000 N

Required

Force applied

Solution

Pascal Law :

F₁/A₁=F₂/A₂

A₁ = π.5²

A₂ = π.15²

F₁/ π.5² cm² = 20000/π.15² cm²

F₁ = 2222.22 N⇒2.2 x 10³ N
