Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 98.1 \ Joules}}$

Explanation:

The formula for potential energy is:

$E_p=mgh$

where m is the mass, g is the gravitational acceleration, and h is the height.

The mass is 5 kilograms and the height is 2 meters. Assuming this ball is on Earth, then the gravitational acceleration is 9.81 meters per square second.

$m= 5 \ kg \\g= 9.81 \ m/s^2 \\\h= 2 \ m$

Substitute the values into the formula.

$E_p= ( 5 \ kg )(9.81 \ m/s^2)( 2 \ m)$

Multiply the first two numbers.

$E_p=49.05 \ kg*m/s^2 (2 \ m )$

Multiply again.

$E_p= 98.1 \ kg*m^2/s^2$

1 kilogram square meter per square second is equal to 1 Joule.
Our answer is equal to 98.1 Joules

$E_p= 98.1 \ J$

The ball has 98.1 Joules of potential energy.

Hi there!

In this instance, the object spinning in a horizontal circle will experience a net force in the horizontal direction due to tension.

The net force is equivalent to the centripetal force, so:

∑F = T

mv²/r = T

Solve for v:

v = √rT/m

v = 13.96 m/s

Korvikt [17]

Answer:

The strength of the electric field is $1.35\times10^{4}\ N/C$ .

Explanation:

Given that,

Speed $v= 5.05\times10^{5}\ m/s$

Time $t= 3.90\times10^{-7}\ s$

Angle = 45°

We need to calculate the acceleration

Using equation of motion

$v = u+at$

$5.05\times10^{5}=0+a\times3.90\times10^{-7}$

$a =\dfrac{5.05\times10^{5}}{3.90\times10^{-7}}$

$a=1.29\times10^{12}\ m/s^2$

We need to calculate the strength of the electric field

Using relation of newton's second law and electric force

$F= ma=qE$

$ma = qE$

$E=\dfrac{ma}{q}$

Put the value into the formula

$E=\dfrac{1.67\times10^{-27}\times1.29\times10^{12}}{1.6\times10^{-19}}$

$E=1.35\times10^{4}\ N/C$

Hence, The strength of the electric field is $1.35\times10^{4}\ N/C$ .

NOTE: The strength of an electromagnet is directly proportional to not only the current but the number of windings. Doubling the number of windings doubles the strength of the magnet.
