Answer:

The energy possessed by a body as a result of its position or condition rather than its motion.

Simplified, this formula can be written as: Potential Energy = mgh, where m is the mass, measured in kilograms; g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s^2 at the surface of the Earth); and h is the height, measured in meters.

Answer:

potential energy. noun. the energy of a body or system as a result of its position in an electric, magnetic, or gravitational field. It is measured in joules (SI units), electronvolts, ergs, etcSymbol: E p, V, U, φ Abbreviation: PE.

Given the function f(x) = 8x3 − 3x2 − 5x 8, what part of the function indicates that the left and right ends point in opposite d

ale4655 [162]

Answer: The degree of the first term.

Explanation:

The function:

$f(x) = 8x^3-3x^2-5x^8$

The left and right ends would be indicated when x is changed to -x. When this is substituted, the change is indicated by the first term because only the degree of first term is odd.

Let the left hand side be donated by -x.

Then,

$f(-x) =8(-x)^3-3(-x)^2-5(-x)^8\\ \Rightarrow f(-x)=-8x^3-3x^2-5x^8$

Hence, the correct option is the degree of the first term indicates the left and right end points of the function.

How would you find the total energy stored in the

likoan [24]

Answer:

The energy of the capacitors connected in parallel is 0.27 J

Given:

C = $2.0\micro F = 2.0\times 10^{- 6} F$

C' = $4.0\micro F = 4.0\times 10^{- 6} F$

Potential difference, V = 300 V

Solution:

Now, we know that the equivalent capacitance of the two parallel connected capacitors is given by:

$C_{eq} = C + C' = 2.0 + 4.0 = 6.0\micro F = 6.0\times 10^{- 6} F$

The energy of the capacitor, E is given by;

$E = \frac{1}{2}C_{eq}V^{2}$

$E = \frac{1}{2}\times 6.0\times 10^{- 6}\times 300^{2} = 0.27 J$

The amount of charge that passes per unit time is called <em>electric current</em> .

Current has dimensions of [Charge] / [Time] .

It's measured and described in units of ' Ampere ' .

1 Ampere means 1 Coulomb of charge passing a point every second.

A test charge of -3x10^-7 C is located 7 cm to the right of a charge of -9x10^-6 C and 20 cm to the left of a charge of +10x10^-

musickatia [10]

Answer:

5.634 N rightwards

Explanation:

qo = - 3 x 10^-7 C

q1 = - 9 x 10^-6 C

q2 = 10 x 10^-6 C

r1 = 7 cm = 0.07 m

r2 = 20 cm = 0.2 m

The force on test charge due to q1 is F1 which is acting towards right

According to the Coulomb's law

$F_{1}=\frac{Kq_{1}q_{0}}{r_{1}^{2}}$

F1 = (9 x 10^9 x 9 x 10^-6 x 3 x 10^-7) / (0.07 x 0.07)

F1 = 4.959 N rightwards

The force on test charge due to q2 is F1 which is acting towards right

According to the Coulomb's law

$F_{2}=\frac{Kq_{2}q_{0}}{r_{2}^{2}}$

F2 = (9 x 10^9 x 10 x 10^-6 x 3 x 10^-7) / (0.2 x 0.2)

F2 = 0.675 N rightwards

Net force on the test charge

F = F1 + F2 = 4.959 + 0.675 = 5.634 N rightwards
