Three students are about to dive from the high boards into the pool. The boys are on diving boards that are 3 m above the water,

and the girl is on a board that is 5 m above the water. Using the picture as a model of energy levels, which of these has the MOST gravitational potential energy AND explain HOW YOU KNOW. (hint: think about what is true about things with a large potential energy…)

V125BC [204]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that there are boys (plural) only at a height of 3 meters, they still might have more energy than a single girl.

The girl might have a mass of 50 to 60 kg. The boys will likely have slightly more.

Girl PE

PE = 5 * 50 * 10

PE = 2500 N

Boys

PE = 3 * 120 * 10

PE = 3600 N

That's with 2 boys on the 3 meter board.  The girl would have a PE more than 1 boy likely or possibly.

Two magnets are sliding towards each other. One of the magnets, which has a mass of 125 grams, is moving in the positive x-direc
olasank [31]

Answer:

0.45 m/s in the negative x-direction

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of momentum, the sum of initial momentum equals the sum of final momentum

Momentum, p=mv where m is the mass and v is the velocity

m_1v_1+m_2v_2=(m_1+m_2)v_c where v_c is the common velocity, v_1 and v_2 are velocities of magnet moving in positive x-direction and magnet moving in negative x-direction respectively, m_1 and m_2 are masses of magnet moving in positive x-direction and magnet moving in negative x-direction respectively.

Substituting 125 g for m_1 and 85 g for m_2, 7.33 m/s v_1, -11.9 m/s for v_1 then

125 g\times 7.33 m/s + (85 g\times -11.9)=(125 g+ 85 g)\times v_c

-95.25 g. m/s=210 g v_c

v_c=\frac {-95.25 g.m/s}{210 g}=-0.453571429 m/s
\approx -0.45 m/s

Therefore, the velocity of single unit is 0.45 m/s in the negative x-direction

What is the average speed of a car that traveled 222.0 miles in 4.596 hours?
Ratling [72]

Answer:

48.3mph

Explanation:

Given that

Distance = 222.0miles

Time = 4.596hours

Average speed = total distance/total time

= 222.0miles/4.596

= 48.3mph

Hence the average speed is 48.3mph

Find electric field at point p which is a distance l away from the both +q and -q
denis-greek [22]

Answer:

\frac{1}{4\times(pie)\times\text{E}} \times\frac{q}{I^{2} }+\frac{1}{4\times(pie)\times\text{E}} \times\frac{-q}{I^{2} }

Explanation:

As given point p is equidistant from both the charges

It must be in the middle of both the charges

Assuming all 3 points lie on the same line

Electric Field due a charge q at a point ,distance r away

=\frac{1}{4\times(pie)\times\text{E}} \times\frac{q}{r^{2} }

Where

  • q is the charge
  • r is the distance
  • E is the permittivity of medium

Let electric field due to charge q be F1 and -q be F2

I is the distance of P from q and also from charge -q

⇒

F1=\frac{1}{4\times(pie)\times\text{E}} \times\frac{q}{I^{2} }

F2=\frac{1}{4\times(pie)\times\text{E}} \times\frac{-q}{I^{2} }

⇒

F1+F2=\frac{1}{4\times(pie)\times\text{E}} \times\frac{q}{I^{2} }+\frac{1}{4\times(pie)\times\text{E}} \times\frac{-q}{I^{2} }
