Answer:

<em>The gravitational potential energy of the parachutist is 3,528,000 J</em>

Explanation:

<u>Gravitational Potential Energy </u>

It's the energy stored in an object because of its height in a gravitational field.

It can be calculated with the equation:

U=m.g.h

Where:

m = mass of the object

h = height with respect to a fixed reference

g = acceleration of gravity, usually taken as $9.8 m/s^2$ .

The parachutist has a mass of m=120 kg and he jumps at a height of h= 3,000 m. Computing the gravitational potential energy:

U = 120 * 3,000 * 9.8

U = 3,528,000 J

The gravitational potential energy of the parachutist is 3,528,000 J

Answer:

Given that

speed u=4*10^6 m/s

electric field E=4*10^3 N/c

distance b/w the plates d=2 cm

basing on the concept of the electrostatices

now we find the acceleration b/w the plates to find the horizontal distance traveled by the electron when it hits the plate.

acceleration a=qE/m= $1.6*10^{-19}*4*10^3/9.1*10^{-31} =0.7*10^{15}$ = $7*10^{14}$ m/s

now we find the horizontal distance traveled by electrons hit the plates

horizontal distance

$X=u[2y/a]^{1/2}$

= $4*10^6[2*2*10^{-2}/7*10^{14}]^{1/2}$

= $3*10^{-2}$ = 3 cm

Calculate the net force on particle q1. First, find the direction of the force particle q2 is exerting on particle q1. Is it pus

ValentinkaMS [17]

The net force on particle particle q1 is 13.06 N towards the left.

<h3>Force on q1 due to q2</h3>

F(12) = kq₁q₂/r₂

F(12) = (9 x 10⁹ x 13 x 10⁻⁶ x 7.7 x 10⁻⁶)/(0.25²)

F(12) = -14.41 N (towards left)

<h3>Force on q1 due to q3</h3>

F(13) = (9 x 10⁹ x 7.7 x 10⁻⁶ x 5.9 x 10⁻⁶)/(0.55²)

F(13) = 1.352 N (towards right)

<h3>Net force on q1</h3>

F(net) = 1.352 N - 14.41 N

F(net) = -13.06 N

Thus, the net force on particle particle q1 is 13.06 N towards the left.

Where are the magnetic<br> fields<br> strongest near a bar magnet?

mixer [17]

<h2>ANSWER:</h2>

<u>The north pole</u>

The magnetic field of a bar magnet is strongest at either pole of the magnet. It is equally strong at the north pole when compared with the south pole. The force is weaker in the middle of the magnet and halfway between the pole and the center.

What can the magnetic field be used for

deff fn [24]

Answer:

the magnetic field can be used to make electricity

Explanation:

Moving a magnet around a coil of wire, or moving a coil of wire around a magnet, pushes the electrons in the wire and creates an electrical current. Electricity generators essentially convert kinetic energy (the energy of motion) into electrical energy
