Answer:

The Wednesday test launch stored more potential energy, and launched the spacecraft at a faster speed because the stronger magnetic field closer to the magnet resulted in a greater increase in potential energy.

How much heat must be added to make a 5g substance with a specific heat of 2 J/gC that has its temperature go up 10 degrees? Q =

zlopas [31]

Answer:

100 Joule

Explanation:

Amount of heat in agiven body is given by Q = m•C•ΔT

where m is the mass of the body

c is the specific heat capacity of body. It is the amount of heat stored in 1 unit weight of body which raises raises the temperature of body by 1 unit of temperature.

ΔT is the change in the temperature of body

___________________________________________

coming back to problem

m = 5g

C = 2J/gC

since, it is given that temperature of body increases by 10 degrees, thus

ΔT = 10 degrees

Using the formula for heat as given

Q = m•C•ΔT

Q = 5* 2 * 10 Joule= 100 Joule

Thus, 100 joule heat must be added to a 5g substance with a specific heat of 2 J/gC to raise its temperature go up by 10 degrees.

An electric field of 1.32 kV/m and a magnetic field of 0.516 T act on a moving electron to produce no net force. If the fields a

Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

The speed of the electron is $2.55\times 10^3\ m/s$ .

Explanation:

Given that,

The magnitude of electric field, $E=1.32\ kV/m=1.32\times 10^3\ V/m$

The magnitude of magnetic field, B = 0.516 T

Both the magnetic and electric fields are acting on the moving electron. Then, the magnitude of electric field and magnetic field is balanced such that :

$evB=eE\\\\v=\dfrac{E}{B}\\\\v=\dfrac{1.32\times 10^3}{0.516}\\\\v=2558.13\ m/s$

$v=2.55\times 10^3\ m/s$

So, the speed of the electron is $2.55\times 10^3\ m/s$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

What is the kinetic energy of a an 80kg football player running at 8 m/s?

Ugo [173]

In the question it is already given that the football player is 80 kg.
Then the mass of the football player = 80 kg
Velocity at which the football player is running = 8 m/s
<span>Kinetic Energy = 0.5 • mass • square of velocity
Now we have to put the known data in this equation to find the actual velocity of the footballer.
</span> <span></span>So
Kinetic Energy of the footballer = 0.5 * 80 * (8 * 8)
= 0.5 * 80 * 64
= 2560
So the Kinetic energy of the footballer is 2560 joules

Particle A and particle B, each of mass M, move along the x-axis exerting a force on each other. The potential energy of the sys

Archy [21]

Speed of particle B is 2v₀/3 m/s to the left. Particle A and particle B will always have equal speed since they experience equal forces.

<h3>Conservation of energy</h3>

The speed and direction of the particle B is determined by applying the principle of conservation of energy as follows;

K.E₁ + P.E₁ = K.E₂ + P.E₂

$\frac{1}{2} Mv^2_A + \frac{G}{r^2} = \frac{1}{2} Mv^2_B + \frac{G}{r^2} \\\\ \frac{1}{2} Mv^2_A = \frac{1}{2} Mv^2_B\\\\v^2_A = v^2_B\\\\v_A = v_B$

$v_B = \frac{2v_0}{3} \ m/s \ to \ the \ left$

At any given position, the speed of particle A and particle B will be equal, since they experience equal force and they have equal masses.

The complete question is below:

Particle A and particle B, each of mass M, move along the x-axis exerting a force on each other. The potential energy of the system of two particles assosicated with the force is given by the equation U=G/r 2, where r is the distance between the two particles and G is a positive constant. At time t=T1 particle A is observed to be traveling with speed 2vo/3 to the left. The speed and direction of motion of particle B is ?
