A cart rolling at ground level has K = 1500 J. It comes to a ramp, rolls up the ramp to an elevated platform. When it's on this

elevated platform, it has K = 1000 J. What does its gravitational potential energy equal on top of that platform?

Evangelista Torricelli was the first person to realize that we live at the bottom of an ocean of air. He correctly surmised that

Radda [10]

Answer:

a) h = 8.02 10³ m b) yes

Explanation:

a) The pressure in a fluid is given by

P = ρ g h

The pressure in this case is the atmospheric pressure, 1.013 105 Pa, let's clear the height (h)

h = P / ρ g

h = 1.013 10⁵ / (1.29 9.8)

h = 8.02 10³ m

b) The height of Mount Everest is 8848 m

It is above this height, according to this model there would be no air to breathe

Three +3.0-μC point charges are at the three corners of a square of side 0.50 m. The last corner is occupied by a −3.0-μC charge

kramer

Answer:

E = 440816.32 N/C

Explanation:

Given data:

Three point charge of charge equal to +3.0 micro coulomb

fourth point charge = - 3.0 micro coulomb

side of square = 0.50 m

$K =1/4 \pi \epsilon_0 = 8.99 \times 10^9$ N.m^2/c^2

Due to having equal charge on center of square, 2 charge produce equal electric field at center and other two also produce electric field at center of same value

So we have

$E_1 + E_3 = 0$

$E =E_2 + E_4$

$E = 2 E_2$

[ $E_2 =\frac{2\times k \times q}{r^2}$

[ $r= \frac{(0.5^2 + 0.5^2)^2}{2} = 0.35 m$ ]

plugging all value

$E = 2 E_2$

$E = 2 E_2 =\frac{2\times k \times q}{r^2}$

$E = \frac{2 \times 8.99 \times 10^93\times 10^{-6}}{0.35^2}$

E = 440816.32 N/C

The closest stars are 4 light years away from us. How far away must you be from a 854 kHz radio station with power 50.0 kW for t

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

The distance from the radio station is 0.28 light years away.

Solution:

As per the question:

Distance, d = 4 ly

Frequency of the radio station, f = 854 kHz = $854\times 10^{3}\ Hz$

Power, P = 50 kW = $50\times 10^{3}\ W$

$I_{p} = 1\ photon/s/m^{2}$

Now,

From the relation:

P = nhf

where

n = no. of photons/second

h = Planck's constant

f = frequency

Now,

$n = \frac{P}{hf} = \frac{50\times 10^{3}}{6.626\times 10^{- 34}\times 854\times 10^{3}} = 8.836\times 10^{31}\ photons/s$

Area of the sphere, A = $4\pi r^{2}$

Now,

Suppose the distance from the radio station be 'r' from where the intensity of the photon is $1\ photon/s/m^{2}$

$I_{p} = \frac{n}{A} = \frac{n}{4\pi r^{2}}$

$1 = \frac{8.836\times 10^{31}}{4\pi r^{2}}$

$r = \sqrt{\frac{8.836\times 10^{31}}{4\pi}} = 2.65\times 10^{15}\ m$

Now,

We know that:

1 ly = $9.4607\times 10^{15}\ m$

Thus

$r = \frac{2.65\times 10^{15}}{9.4607\times 10^{15}} = 0.28\ ly$

A particle with charge 3.20×10−19 c is placed on the x axis in a region where the electric potential due to other charges increa

lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

-5 V

Explanation:

The charged particle (which is positively charged) moves from point A to B, and its kinetic energy increases: it means that the particle is following the direction of the field, so its potential energy is decreasing (because it's been converted into potential energy), therefore it is moving from a point at higher potential (A) to a point at lower potential (B). This means that the value

vb−va

is negative.

We can calculate the potential difference between the two points by using the law of conservation of energy:

$\Delta K+ \Delta U=0\\\Delta K + q\Delta V=0$

where:

$\Delta K=+1.6\cdot 10^{-18} J$ is the change in kinetic energy of the particle

$q=3.2\cdot 10^{-19} C$ is the charge of the particle

$\Delta V =V_b-V_a$ is the potential difference

Re-arranging the equation, we can find the value of the potential difference:

$\Delta V=V_b-V_a = -\frac{\Delta K}{q}=-\frac{1.6\cdot 10^{-18} J}{3.2\cdot 10^{-19} C}=-5 V$
