$Kinetic energy = \frac{mass*velocity ^{2} }{2} = \frac{40*2 ^{2} }{2} = 80J$ . Therefore kinetic energy of the box while on the conveyor belt is 80J.

Answer : The kinetic energy of the box is, 80 J

Explanation :

The formula used for kinetic energy is:

$K.E=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

where,

K.E = kinetic energy = ?

m = mass = 40 kg

v = velocity = 2 m/s

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get the kinetic energy of the box while it is on the conveyor belt.

$K.E=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

$K.E=\frac{1}{2}\times (40kg)\times (2m/s)^2$

$K.E=80kg.m^2/s^2=80J$

Thus, the kinetic energy of the box is, 80 J

Why is the following situation impossible? Two identical dust particles of mass 1.00 µg are floating in empty space, far from an

Igoryamba

Answer:

This is a conceptual problem so I will try my best to explain the impossible scenario. First of all the two dust particles ara virtually exempt from any external forces and at rest with respect to each other. This could theoretically happen even if it's difficult for that to happen. The problem is that each of the particles have an electric charge which are equal in magnitude and sign. Thus each particle should feel the presence of the other via a force. The forces felt by the particles are equal and opposite facing away from each other so both charges have a net acceleration according to Newton's second law because of the presence of a force in each particle:

$a=\frac{F}{m}$

Having seen Newton's second law it should be clear that the particles are actually moving away from each other and will not remain at rest with respect to each other. This is in contradiction with the last statement in the problem.

ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

Option b. it has the same position and the same acceleration as A

Explanation:

Let's analyze every statement:

a. it has the same position and the same velocity as A

In the instant where B passes A, they Do have the same position. Velocity however, cannot be the same because if they were, ball B would never pass ball A. So, this is false.

b. it has the same position and the same acceleration as A

As we said in the previous option, the position is the same. The acceleration is gravity for both balls, so this is true.

c. it has the same velocity and the same acceleration as A

Acceleration is the same but velocities are not, so this is false.

d. it has the same displacement and the same velocity as A

The distance they have traveled is the same, so the displacement is the same, but the velocity is not, so this is false.

e. it has the same position, displacement and velocity as A

The position and displacement is the same but not velocity, so this is false.

Only option b is true.

Two small aluminum spheres, each of mass 0.0250 kilograms, areseparated by 80.0 centimeters.

sineoko [7]

Answer:

Total number of electrons

$N = 7.25 \times 10^{24}$

electrons removed from each sphere

$N = 5.27 \times 10^{15}$

Fraction of electrons transferred is given as

$f = 7.27 \times 10^{-10}$

Explanation:

As we know that moles is defined as

$n =\frac{mass}{molar mass}$

$n = \frac{0.0250}{0.026982}$

$n = 0.93$

so number of atoms of Al in each sphere is given as

$N = 0.93(6.02 \times 10^{23})$

$N = 5.58 \times 10^{23}$

Now number of electrons in each atom is given as

atomic number = number of electrons in each atom = 13

total number of electrons in each sphere is

$N = 13 \times (5.58 \times 10^{23})$

$N = 7.25 \times 10^{24}$

Also we know that force of attraction between them is given as

$F= \frac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}$

$1.00 \times 10^4 = \frac{(9\times 10^9)q^2}{0.80^2}$

$q = 8.4 \times 10^{-4} C$

now we have

$q = Ne$

$8.4 \times 10^{-4} = N(1.6 \times 10^{-19}$

$N = \frac{(8.4 \times 10^{-4})}{1.6 \times 10^{-19}}$

$N = 5.27 \times 10^{15}$

Fraction of electrons transferred is given as

$f = \frac{5.27 \times 10^{15}}{7.25 \times 10^{24}}$

$f = 7.27 \times 10^{-10}$

The burj Khalifa in Dubai is the worlds tallest building. It rises to an amazing 828M above the ground and if you were to get to

antoniya [11.8K]

I don't understand what you mean by "depth" of the steps. The flat part of the step has a front-to-back dimension, and the 'riser' has a height. I don't care about the horizontal dimension of the step because it doesn't add anything to the climber's potential energy. And if the riser of each step is 20cm high, then 3,234 of them only take him (3,234 x 0.2) = 646.8 meters up off the ground. So something is definitely fishy about the steps.

Fortunately, we don't need to worry at all about the steps in order to derive a first approximation to the answer ... one that's certainly good enough for high school Physics.

In order to lift his bulk 828 meters from the street to the top of the Burj, the climber has to provide a force of 800 newtons, and maintain it through a distance of 828 meters. The work [s]he does is (force) x (distance) = <em>662,400 joules. </em>
