Answer:

2.61 J

Explanation:

Since potential energy U = mgy where m = mass of object, g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s² and y = height of object above the ground.

Now for the coffee mug, m= 0.422 kg and it is 0.63 m on a table, so it is 0.63 m above the ground. Thus, y = 0.63 m.

We compute U

U = mgy

= 0.422 kg × 9.8 m/s² × 0.63 m

= 2.605 J

≅ 2.61 J

So, the potential energy of the mug with respect to the floor is 2.61 J

What is the mass of an atom that has 2 protons, 3 neutrons, and 2 electrons
marusya05 [52]
You can find the mass of an atom by adding the number of protons and neutrons. In this case the atom has 2 protons and 3 neutrons so the mass is 5.

A paintball’s mass is 0.0032kg. A typical paintball strikes a target moving at 85.3 m/s.
vekshin1

Answer:

A)  If the paintball stops completely the magnitude of the change in the paintball’s momentum is  p=0.273kg*m/s

B) If the paintball bounces off its target and afterward moves in the opposite direction with the same speed, the change in the paintball’s momentum is  p=0.546kg*m/s

C) A paintball bouncing off your skin in the opposite direction with the same speed hurts more than a paintball exploding upon your skin because of the strength exerted is twice than if it explodes.

Explanation:

Hi

A) We use the formula of momentum p=mv, so we have p=0.0032kg*85.3m/s=0.273kg*m/s

B) We use the same formula above, then due we have a change of direction at the same speed, therefore the change in the momentum is the double so

p=2*0.0032kg*85.3m/s=0.546kg*m/s.

C) The average strength of the force an object exerts during impact is determined by the amount the object’s momentum changes. therefore

F=\frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t}, as we don't have any data about the impact time but we know momentum is twice, time does no matter and strength is twice too.

If points a and b are connected by a wire with negligible resistance, find the magnitude of the current in the 12.0 v battery.
Marizza181 [45]
V = I * R
Where V is the voltage, I is the current and R is the resistance. Using Ohm's law, you require resistance to find the current through the wire. Technically, if the wire has a resistance of 0, you will get infinite current. But this isn't possible. Maybe the negligible resistance refers to the battery's internal resistance - not the wire's resistance.
