A book starts on a shelf 1 m off of the ground. You then move the book to a higher shelf that is 3 m off of the ground. If the s

ystem gained 20 J of gravitational potential energy, what is the mass of the book?

Answer:

Using g = 9.8: 1.02 kg, Using g = 10: 1 kg

Explanation:

E = mgh

20 = m(9.8)(3 - 1)

20 = 9.8m(2)

20 = 19.6m

m = 1.02 kg

I'm now assuming you may be using a g constant of 10, thus the close integer result, in which case the mass would be exactly 1 kilogram.

Two equal-mass pieces of metal are sitting side by side at the bottom of a deep lake. One piece is aluminum and the other is lea
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

A. Aluminium

Explanation:

Buoyant force is  simple terms refers to the weight of water displaced when an object is immersed in it. The higher the volume of an object, the higher the buoyant force.

From the problem, we have two metals of equal mass, aluminium and lead, of which lead is denser.

density =\frac{mass}{volume}

Volume =\frac{mass}{density}

This means that the volume of each metal depends on the density, and for the fact that lead is denser , it will have a lower volume than aluminium which means Aluminium will have a greater buoyant force.

No they don't.  Incident rays parallel to the axis of a concave mirror
reflect from the mirror's surface and converge at its focal point.

How much work is done on the electron by the electric field of the sheet as the electron moves from its initial position to a po
miss Akunina [59]

Incomplete question as the charge density is missing so I assume charge density of 3.90×10^−12 C/m².The complete one is here.

An electron is released from rest at a distance of 0 m  from a large insulating sheet of charge that has uniform surface charge density 3.90×10^−12 C/m² .  How much work is done on the electron by the electric field of the sheet as the electron moves from its initial position to a point 3.00×10−2 m from the sheet?

Answer:

Work=1.06×10⁻²¹J

Explanation:

Given Data

Permittivity of free space ε₀=8.85×10⁻¹²c²/N.m²

Charge density σ=3.90×10⁻¹² C/m²

The electron moves a distance d=3.00×10⁻²m

Electron charge e=-1.6×10⁻¹⁹C

To find

Work done

Solution

The electric field due is sheet is given as

E=σ/2ε₀

E=\frac{3.90*10^{-12}C/m^{2}  }{2(8.85*10^{-12}C^{2} /N.m^{2} )}\\ E=0.22V/m

Now we need to find force on electron

F=eE\\F=(1.6*10^{-19}C )(0.22V/m)\\F=3.525*10^{-20}N

Now for Work done on the electron

W=F*d\\W=(3.525*10^{-20} N)(3.00*10^{-2}m)\\W=1.06*10^{-21}J

What is the equivalent resistance of the circuit?
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

Since the wire is not splitting at any point in the circuit,

the resistors are in series

Hence, Equivalent resistance = 10 + 20 + 30

Equivalent Resistance = 60 Ω

How many excess electrons must be distributed uniformly within the volume of an isolated plastic sphere 23.0 cm in diameter to p
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

10573375000

216.57162\ N/C

Explanation:

k = Coulomb constant = 8.99\times 10^{9}\ Nm^2/C^2

r = Distance = \dfrac{d}{2}=\dfrac{23}{2}=11.5\ cm

E = Electric field = 1150 N/C

Electric field is given by

E=\dfrac{kq}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow q=\dfrac{Er^2}{k}\\\Rightarrow q=\dfrac{1150\times 0.115^2}{8.99\times 10^9}\\\Rightarrow q=1.69174\times 10^{-9}\ C

Number of electrons is given by

n=\dfrac{1.69174\times 10^{-9}}{1.6\times 10^{-19}}\\\Rightarrow n=10573375000

Number of excess electrons is 10573375000

r = 0.115+0.15 = 0.265 m

E=\dfrac{kq}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow E=\dfrac{8.99\times 10^9\times 1.69174\times 10^{-9}}{0.265^2}\\\Rightarrow E=216.57162\ N/C

The electric field is 216.57162\ N/C
