At the top:
Potential Energy = (mass) x (gravity) x (height)
= (30 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) x (3 meters)
= 882 joules
At the bottom:
Kinetic Energy = (1/2) x (mass) x (speed)²
= (1/2) x (30 kg) x (3 m/s)²
= (15 kg) x (9 m²/s²)
= 135 joules .
He had 882 joules of potential energy at the top,
but only 135 joules of kinetic energy at the bottom.
Friction stole (882 - 135) = 747 joules of his energy while he slid down.
The seat of his jeans must be pretty warm.
Total mechanical energy = kinetic energy + potential energy
E = KE + PE
E = ½mv² + mgh
E = ½(0.1 kg)(2 m/s)² + (0.1 kg)(9.8 m/s²)(1.5 m)
E = 0.2 J + 1.47 J
E = 1.67 J
Choices 1, 2, and 4 . . . . . Yes
Choices 3 and 5 . . . . . No
Answer:
1. 24375 N/C
2. 2925 V
Explanation:
d = 12 cm = 0.12 m
F = 3.9 x 10^-15 N
q = 1.6 x 10^-19 C
1. The relation between the electric field and the charge is given by
F = q E
So, 

E = 24375 N/C
2. The potential difference and the electric field is related by the given relation.
V = E x d
where, V be the potential difference, E be the electric field strength and d be the distance between the electrodes.
By substituting the values, we get
V = 24375 x 0.12 = 2925 Volt
