Answer:

(B)  1.23 x 10⁴ J

Explanation:

Given;

radius of the sphere, r = 7.0 m

diameter of the sphere, d = 2r = 14.0 m

mass of the person sitting on the sphere, m = 90.0 kg

The gravitational potential energy of the person is given by;

P.E = mgh

where;

g is acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

h is the height above the ground level = d = 14.0 m

P.E = mgh

P.E = (90)(9.8)(14)

P.E = 12348 J

P.E = 1.2348 x 10⁴ J

Therefore, the gravitational potential energy of the person is 1.2348 x 10⁴ J

A girl delivering newspapers covers her route by traveling 3.00 blocks west, 4.00 blocks north, and then 6.00 blocks east. What
Harrizon [31]

The concepts used to solve this problem are those related to the Pythagorean theorem for which we will calculate the distance and the pitch.

According to the attached diagram we have that the expression of the resulting displacement is

R = \sqrt{(3b)^2+(4b)^2}

Therefore the resultant displacement of the girl is

R = \sqrt{(9b^2+16b^2)}

R = \sqrt{25b^2}

R = 5b

Therefore the girl has displaced around of 5 blocks

A sled is accelerating down a hill at a rate of 1 m s2 . If the mass of the sled is suddenly cut in half and the net force on th
mihalych1998 [28]
We have that F=ma from the 2nd Newton law where F is the force, m is the mass and a is the acceleration. Suppose we have that F' is the new force and m' is the new mass. Then, we have that a'=F'/m' still, by rearranging Newton's law. We are given that F'=2F and m'=m/2. Hence,
a'= \frac{2F}{ \frac{m}{2} } = \frac{4F}{m} = 4\frac{F}{m}
But now, we have from F=ma, that a=F/m and we are given that a=1m/s^2.
We can substitute thus, a'=4a=4*1m/s^2=4m/s^2.

How do I solve this​
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

W = 8.01 × 10^(-17) [J]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we need to know the electron is a subatomic particle with a negative elementary electrical charge (-1,602 × 10-19 C), The expression to calculate the work is given by:

W = q*V

where:

q = charge = 1,602 × 10^(-19) [C]

V = voltage = 500 [V]

W = work [J]

W = 1,602 × 10^(-19) * 500

W = 8.01 × 10^(-17) [J]

Zanzabum

Complete question:

Resistor is made of a very thin metal wire that is 3.2 mm long, with a diameter of 0.4 mm. What is the electric field inside this metal resistor? If the potential difference due to electric field between the two ends of the resistor is 10 V.

Answer:

The electric field inside this metal resistor is 3125 V/m

Explanation:

Given;

length of the wire, L = 3.2 mm = 3.2 x 10⁻³ m

diameter of the wire, d = 0.4 mm = 0.4 x 10⁻³ m

the potential difference due to electric field between the two ends of the resistor, V = 10 V

The electric field inside this metal resistor is given by;

ΔV = EL

where;

ΔV is change in electric potential

E = ΔV / L

E = 10 / (3.2 x 10⁻³ )

E = 3125 V/m

Therefore, the electric field inside this metal resistor is 3125 V/m
