Answer: 2934.75 Joules

Explanation:

Potential energy can be defined as energy possessed by an object or body due to its position.

Mathematically, potential energy is given by the formula;

<em>P.E = mgh</em>

Where P.E represents potential energy measured in Joules.

m represents the mass of an object.

g represents acceleration due to gravity measured in meters per second square.

h represents the height measured in meters.

Given the following data;

Weight =645

Height = 4.55

<em>P.E = mgh</em>

But we know that weight = mg = 645N

Substituting into the equation, we have;

<em>P.E = 645 • 4.55</em>

<em>P.E = 2934.75J</em>

Potential energy, P.E = 2934.75 Joules.

Ann [662]

Answer:

The charges under study are of the same sign

The calculation of the electric field for each charge separately, there is no relationship between the charges

Explanation:

Let's start by writing the equation for the electric field

          E = k q / r²

where q is the charge under analysis and r the distance from this charge to a positive test charge.

When analyzing the statement the student has some problems.

* The charges under study are of the same sign, it does not matter if positive or negative.

* The calculation of the electric field for each charge separately, there is no relationship between the charges for the calculation of the electric field.

* What is added is the interaction of the electric field with the positive test charge, in this case each field has the opposite direction to the other, so the vector sum gives zero

Igoryamba

A particle moves along a straight line with equation of motion s = f(t), where s is measured in meters and t in seconds. Find the velocity and the speed when t = 4. f(t) = 12t² + 35 t + 1

Answer:

Velocity = 131 m/s

Speed = 131 m/s

Explanation:

Equation of motion, s = f(t) = 12t² + 35 t + 1

To get velocity of the particle, let us find the first derivative of s

v (t) = ds/dt = 24t + 35

At t = 4

v(4) = 24(4) + 35

v(4) = 131 m/s

Speed is the magnitude of velocity. Since the velocity is already positive, speed is also 131 m/s

Explain how you can determine the direction of a magnetic field produced by a wire if you know the diection of the current throu
ololo11 [35]

Explanation:

Right hand thumb rule : Point the thumb of your right hand in the direction of the current flow, the direction of curvature of the fingers will give us the direction of the magnetic field produced by current carrying wire. This rule was given by Maxwell.

1) If the current is moving in upward direction , the direction of the magnetic field will be in anti clock wise direction.

2) If the current is moving in downward direction , the direction of the magnetic field will be in clock wise direction.

A 52.0-kg person, running horizontally with a velocity of +3.63 m/s, jumps onto a 15.2-kg sled that is initially at rest. (a) Ig
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

The coefficient of kinetic friction between the sled and the snow is 0.0134

Explanation:

Given that:

M = mass of person = 52 kg

m = mass of sled = 15.2 kg

U = initial velocity of person = 3.63 m/s

u = initial velocity of sled = 0 m/s

After collision, the person and the sled would move with the same velocity V.

a) According to law of momentum conservation:

Total momentum before collision = Total momentum after collision

MU + mu = (M + m)V

V=\frac{MU+mu}{M+m}

Substituting values:

V=\frac{MU+mu}{M+m}=\frac{52(3.63)+15.2(0)}{52+15.2} =2.81m/s

The velocity of the sled and person as they move away is 2.81 m/s

b) acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

d = 30 m

Using the formula:

V^2=2\mu(gd)\\\mu=\frac{V^2}{2gd} \\\mu=\frac{2.81^2}{2*9.8*30} =0.0134

The coefficient of kinetic friction between the sled and the snow is 0.0134
