Sophia is planning on going down an 8-m water slide. Her weight is 50 N. She knows that she has gravitational potential energy (

GPE) at various points on the slide At each point, her GPE can be found by using an equation. GPE = weight * height above ground Graph her GPE versus height every 2 m as she goes down the slide. Use height in meters above ground on the y-axis. Use GPE in Joules on the x-axis.​

4 0

Answer:

Explanation:

graph would be a straight line from (0, 0) to (400, 8)

Plot points are

PE = mgh

50(0) = 0 J

50(2) = 100 J

50(4) = 200 J

50(6) = 300 J

50(8) = 400 J

Suppose you are playing hockey on a new-age ice surface for which there is no friction between the ice and the hockey puck. You
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

<em>Not slow down or speed up</em>.

Explanation:

Hitting the puck accelerates the speed of the puck from zero to the speed with which it leaves at the instance they lose contact. Since there is no friction between the puck and the ice, there will be no force decelerating or accelerating the hockey puck, allowing the puck to move away and remain in motion without speeding up or slowing down indefinitely theoretically.

A positive point charge Q is fixed on a very large horizontal frictionless tabletop. A second positive point charge q is release
Scilla [17]

Answer:

(A) As it moves farther and farther from Q, its speed will keep increasing.

Explanation:

When a positive charge Q is fixed on a horizontal frictionless tabletop and a second charge q is released near to it then according to the Coulombs law the force acting on it decreases with the square of the distance between them.

Mathematically:

F=\frac{1}{4\pi.\epsilon_0} \times \frac{Q.q}{r^2}

where:

r = distance between the charges

\epsilon_0= permittivity of free space

By the Newtons' second law of motion if the we know that the acceleration is directly proportional to the force applied. So as  the distance between the charges increases the its acceleration also decreases therefore now the charge feels less acceleration but still continues to accelerate with a fading magnitude.

Increasing the two objects will cause the gravitational force between the objects to decrease.
ELEN [110]
This statement is false. Increasing the two objects' mass (I'm guessing) will actually increase their gravitational force. This is because of the equation:

F_g =  \frac{Gm_1m_2}{d^2}

If the distance was increased, then the statement would be true, but since you are increasing mass, which is proportional to the Force of Gravity, you are in fact, increasing the gravitational force between the two objects.

A ball of radius R and mass m is magically put inside a thin shell of the same mass and radius 2R. The system is at rest on a ho
dlinn [17]

Answer:

x =\frac{-R}{2}

Explanation:

From the question we are told that mass

Thin layer radius = 2R

Generally the expression for ths solution is given as

Xcm =(m*0 =m(-2R))/2m =-mR/(2m)=-R/2

the center of mass will not move at initial state  

Considering the center of mass of both bodies

xcm=\frac{m*x+m*x)}{2m} =x

x =\frac{-R}{2}

Therefore the enclosing layer moves x =\frac{-R}{2}
