The gravitational potential energy
gpe = mgh
Weight = (mass) x (acceleration of gravity)
Acceleration of gravity = 9.81 m/s² on Earth, 1.62 m/s² on the Moon.
The feather's weight is . . .
On Earth: (0.0001 kg) x (9.81 m/s²) = <em>0.000981 Newton </em>
On the Moon: (0.0001 kg) x (1.62 m/s²) = <em>0.000162 N</em>
The presence or absence of atmosphere makes no difference. In fact, the numbers would be the same if the feather were sealed in a jar, or spinning wildly in a tornado, or hanging by a thread, or floating in a bowl of water or chicken soup. Weight is just the force of gravity between the feather and the Earth. It's not affected by what's around the feather, or what's happening to it.
Answer:
The kinetic energy K of the moving charge is K = 2kQ²/3d = 2Q²/(4πε)3d = Q²/6πεd
Explanation:
The potential energy due to two charges q₁ and q₂ at a distance d from each other is given by U = kq₁q₂/r.
Now, for the two charges q₁ = q₂ = Q separated by a distance d, the initial potential energy is U₁ = kQ²/d. The initial kinetic energy of the system K₁ = 0 since there is no motion of the charges initially. When the moving charge is at a distance of r = 3d, the potential energy of the system is U₂ = kQ²/3d and the kinetic energy is K₂.
From the law of conservation of energy, U₁ + K₁ = U₂ + K₂
So, kQ²/d + 0 = kQ²/3d + K
K₂ = kQ²/d - kQ²/3d = 2kQ²/3d
So, the kinetic energy K₂ of the moving charge is K₂ = 2kQ²/3d = 2Q²/(4πε)3d = Q²/6πεd
Answer:
Explanation:
Givens
Heat of Fusion = 2.05 * 10^5 J / kg watch the units.
Heat to actually melt the copper = 82 10^5 J
Formula
Mass of copper = Heat / Heat of Fusion
Solution
Mass of copper = 82*10^5 J / (2.05 * 10^5 J / kg)
Mass of copper = 40 kg
Notice that the kg is in the denominator of the second fraction. The rules of fractions would tell you the 1/1 / / 1 /kg . You take the right fraction and turn it upside down and multiply. 1 / 1 * kg/1 = 1* kg / 1*1 which is just kg.
Answer 40 kg of copper
