Answer:

25.6 Joules

Explanation:

The gravitational potential energy of the brick is 25.6 J

Explanation:

The gravitational potential energy of an object is the energy possessed by the object due to its position in a gravitational field.

Near the surface of a planet, the gravitational potential energy is given by

where

m is the mass of the object

g is the strength of the gravitational field

h is the height of the object relative to the ground

For the brick in this problem, we have:

m = 8 kg is its mass

g = 1.6 N/kg is the strenght of the gravitational field on the moon

h = 2 m is the height above the ground

Substituting, we find:

The gravitational potential energy of the brick is 25.6 J

Explanation:

The gravitational potential energy of an object is the energy possessed by the object due to its position in a gravitational field.

Near the surface of a planet, the gravitational potential energy is given by

PE=mgh

where

m is the mass of the object

g is the strength of the gravitational field

h is the height of the object relative to the ground

For the brick in this problem, we have:

m = 8 kg is its mass

g = 1.6 N/kg is the strenght of the gravitational field on the moon

h = 2 m is the height above the ground

Substituting, we find:

PE=(8)(1.6)(2)=25.6 J

If a current of 2.4 a is flowing in a cylindrical wire of diameter 2.0 mm, what is the average current density in this wire?
Gnom [1K]

The average current density in the wire is given by:

J=\frac{I}{A}

where I is the current intensity and A is the cross-sectional area of the wire.


The cross-sectional area of the wire is given by:

A=\pi r^2

where r is the radius of the wire. In this problem, r=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{2.0 mm}{2}=1.0 mm=0.001 m, so the cross-sectional area is

A=\pi (0.001 m)^2=3.14 \cdot 10^{-6} m^2


and the average current density is

J=\frac{I}{A}=\frac{2.4 A}{3.14 \cdot 10^{-6} m^2}=7.64 \cdot 10^5 A/m^2

In a certain region of space, a uniform electric field has a magnitude of 4.30 x 104 n/c and points in the positive x direction.
denis23 [38]
The magnetic force exerted by a field E to a charge q is given by F=Eq. In this case, F=4.30*10^4*(6.80mu C). 1mu C=10^-6C, so F=4.30*6.80=10^-2=0.29N. The direction is in the x direction, the direction that the field is applied because the charge is positive.

NeX [460]

Answer:

KE= 1/2mv²

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of a body is the energy possessed by virtue of the body in motion

Given the parameters

m which is the mass of the body

v which is the velocity of the body too

K.E = kinetic energy

The expression for the kinetic energy of a body is given as

levacccp [35]

Answer:

Obviously Lengthen...   T = 2\pi \sqrt{L/g}   or   g = 4\pi ^{2} L/g

Explanation:

As we can observe from the equation, time period of a simple pendulum depends upon the length directly. When the gravitational acceleration increases the time period of the pendulum decreases and vice versa. So, by increasing the length, the time period can be adjusted...
