Electric potential energy, or Electrostatic potential energy, is a potential energy (measured in joules) that results from conservative Coulomb forces and is associated with the configuration of a particular set of point charges within a defined system. An object may have electric potential energy by virtue of two key elements: its own electric charge and its relative position to other electrically charged objects.

A ball is thrown upward from the top of a building at an angle of 30.0° to the horizontal and with
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

Vertical position = 45 +  20 sin (30) t  - 4.9 t^2

 when it hits ground this = 0

               0 = -4.9t^2 + 20 sin (30 ) t + 45

                0 = -4.9t^2 + 10 t +45 = 0     solve for t =4.22 sec

  max height is at  t= - b/2a = 10/9.8 =1.02

     use this value of 't' in the equation to calculate max height = 50.1 m

      it has  4.22 - 1.02 to free fall = 3.2 seconds free fall

           v = at = 9.81 * 3.2 = 31.39 m/s VERTICAL

      it will <u>also</u> still have horizontal velocity =  20 cos 30 = 17.32 m/s

        total velocity will be sqrt ( 31.39^2 + 17.32^2) = 35.85 m/s

Horizontal range = 20 cos 30  * t  =  20 *  cos 30  * 4.22 = 73.1 m

A fisherman notices that his boat is moving up and down periodically without any horizontal motion, owing to waves on the surfac
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

v = 1.2 m/s

Explanation:

The wavelength of the waves is given as the horizontal distance between the crests:

λ = wavelength = 5.5 m

Now, the time period is given as the time taken by boat to move from the highest point again to the highest point. So it will be equal to twice the time taken by the boat to travel from highest to the lowest point:

T = Time Period = 2(2.3 s) = 4.6 s

Now, the speed of the wave is given as:

v = f\lambda

where,

v= speed of wave = ?

f = frequency of wave = \frac{1}{T} = \frac{1}{4.6\ s} = 0.217\ Hz

Therefore,

v = (0.217\ Hz)(5.5\ m)\\

<u>v = 1.2 m/s</u>

A child weighing 200 N is being held back in a swing by a horizontal force of 125 N, as shown in the image. What is the tension
mixer [17]

Answer:

75

Explanation:

i am not sure but if 200N boy is being held back then the force that's holding him back must be equal to or greater than his weight. if 125N is already exerted then the tension will be:

T=200-125

= 75

When at rest, a ruler has a length of 12.0 inches. How fast (in m/s) must the ruler fly past you in order for it to shorten to 6
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

2.598×10^8 m/sec

Explanation:

The length of the contraction is given by l=l_0\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}} here l_0 is length of the ruler at rest which is given as 12 inches

l is the length of the ruler in moving condition which is given as 6 inches c is the speed of the light and v is the velocity of the ruler.

l=l_0\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}

\frac{l}{l_0}=\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}

1-(\frac{l}{l_0})^2=\frac{v^2}{c^2}

1-(\frac{6}{12})^2=\frac{v^2}{c^2}

0.866=\frac{v}{c}

v=0.866\times 3\times 10^8=2.598\times 10^8 m/sec
