PE = mgh

so (75kg)(9.8m/s2)(100m) = 73,500 Joules

KE = 1/2 m * v^2

so (1/2)(75kg)(60m/s)^2 = 135,000 Joules

ME = 208,500 Joules

Find an expression for the electric field e⃗ at the center of the semicircle. hint: a small piece of arc length δs spans a small
ahrayia [7]
Let l = Q/L = linear charge density. The semi-circle has a length L which is half the circumference of the circle. So w can relate the radius of the circle to L by 

<span>C = 2L = 2*pi*R ---> R = L/pi </span>

<span>Now define the center of the semi-circle as the origin of coordinates and define a as the angle between R and the x-axis. </span>

<span>we can define a small charge dq as </span>

<span>dq = l*ds = l*R*da </span>

<span>So the electric field can be written as: </span>

<span>dE =kdq*(cos(a)/R^2 I_hat + sin(a)/R^2 j_hat) </span>

<span>dE = k*I*R*da*(cos(a)/R^2 I_hat + sin(a)/R^2 j_hat) </span>

<span>E = k*I*(sin(a)/R I_hat - cos(a)/R^2 j_hat) </span>

<span>E = pi*k*Q/L(sin(a)/L I_hat - cos(a)/L j_hat)</span>

Phantasy [73]

Answer:

<u> Power = 9.75 ×10^8\frac{kgm^2}{s^3}</u>

Explanation:

  • Power is rate of change of energy.
  • Here gravitational energy is transferred to kinetic energy of water at a definite rate.

For one second 650m^3 of water flows out down to 150m oh depth.

So, the energy at a height of 150m is transformed to kinetic energy.

for a second,

       650m^3 of water flows down ⇒ (1000kg/m^3 × 650m^3) = 6.5×10^5kg of warer flos down.

The total gravitational potential energy stored in water is

    = <u>mass of water × height× gravity</u>

    = 6.5 ×10^5 × 150 × 10 =  9.75 ×10^8\frac{kgm^2}{s^2}

As it is transformed in a second it is also equal to <u>Power.</u>

Projectile Motion: A pilot drops a package from a plane flying horizontally at a constant speed. Neglecting air resistance, when
love history [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

The package had the same velocity as the plane when it was dropped. Newton's 1st Law says that "an object in motion tends to stay in motion, at the same velocity, in a straight line unless acted on by an outside force".

There only outside force acting on the package was its weight -- that force is straight down. The horizontal velocity that the plane gave the package continued (as Newton said it would), so as it fell, horizontally it kept pace with the plane.
