294000J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Height of hill = 500m

Mass of Chris = 60kg

Unknown:

Potential energy increase = ?

Solution:

Potential energy is the energy by virtue of the position of a body.

  Potential energy = mgh

m is the mass of the bike

g is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height

At the base of the hill,

    P.E = mgh = 60 x 9.8 x 0 = 0J

At the top:

    P.E = mgh = 60 x 9.8 x 500 = 294000J

Potential energy increase = 294000J - 0J = 294000J

the diagram to the right shows an electrical wire. the arrow shows the direction of the current. what does “b” represent?
goblinko [34]

B represents the direction of the magnetic field around the wire

Explanation:

A wire carrying an electric current always produces a magnetic field around itself. The lines of the magnetic field produced by a current-carrying wires are concentric circles around the wire. The magnitude of the field is given by the formula:

B=\frac{\mu_0 I}{2 \pi r}

where

\mu_0 is the vacuum permeability

I is the current in the wire

r is the distance from the wire

The direction of the field lines is given by the so-called right hand rule, shown in the figure. Basically, the thumb of the right hand is placed in the direction of the electric current, while the other fingers are "wrapped" around the thumb: the direction of the other fingers give the direction of the magnetic field lines.

Which term is defined by the force that moving, charged particles exert on one another?
Lisa [10]

Answer:

Electromagnetic force

Explanation:

There are four fundamental forces in nature:

- Gravity: it is the force that is exerted between any objects with mass. It is the weakest of all forces, so it is only relevant at planetary scales. It is always attractive, and it has an infinite range.

- Electromagnetic force: it is the force exerted between charged objects and between magnets (it is responsible for electric fields and magnetic fields). It is the 2nd strongest force, and it is the force that holds atoms in a molecule together. It can be attractive or repulsive, and it has an infinite range.

- Strong nuclear force: it is the strongest of all forces. It is responsible for holding the nucleons together inside the nucleus, and it is attractive. It has a very limited range (10^{-15}m), so it is relevant only at very small scales

- Weak nuclear force: it is the force responsible for radioactive decays and neutrino interactions. It also has a very short range (10^{-18} m

Looking at all these definitions, we see that the term that defines the force that acts between charged particles is the electromagnetic force.

uysha [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

ASSUMING your speed is constant

f₀ = f(v + vo)/(v + vs)

   Δf = f approach - f depart

69.5 = (769(343 + vo)/(343 + 0)) - (769(343 - vo)/(343 + 0))

69.5 = 769(2vo/343)

  vo = 15.5 m/s
