Dane is standing on the moon holding an 8 kilogram brick 2 metres above the ground. How much energy is in the brick's gravitatio
Nadya [2.5K]

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

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

100 meters, 54.5 East of North or 125.5 North of East.

Explanation:

Try drawing it out to get a better visual. Make sure that when you draw the arrows that you make a scale (for example: 1 cm = 10 meters). After drawing it out, draw a line from the origin/starting point and connect it to the end point from the "75 m west" arrow. Then, measure the line you drew and convert it back into meters. Lastly, measure the angle.

A magnetic field of 0.080 T is in the y-direction. The velocity of wire segment S has a magnitude of 78 m/s and components of 18
Annette [7]

Answer:

Part a)

Induced EMF when length vector is along Z direction is 0.72 V

Part b)

Induced EMF when length vector is along Y direction is ZERO

Explanation:

As we know that the motional EMF induced in the wire is given as

E = (v\times B). L

1)

As we know that

v = 18\hat i + 24\hat j + 72\hat k

B = 0.080 \hat j

L = 0.50 \hat k

now we have

\vec v \times \vec B = 1.44\hat k - 5.76 \hat i

so we have

E = 1.44 (0.50) = 0.72 V

2)

If the length vector is along Y direction then we have

L = 0.50 \hat j

so again we have

\vec v \times \vec B = 1.44\hat k - 5.76 \hat i

so we have

EMF = 0

Consider the following spectrum where two colorful lines (A and B) are positioned on a dark background. The violet end of the sp
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

a )

This type of spectrum is called line emission spectrum . Because it consists of lines . It is emission spectrum because it is due to emission of radiation from a source .

b ) The wavelength of a photon  is inversely proportional to its energy .  Photon  due to transition between n = 1 and n = 3 will have higher energy than

that due to transition between n = 2 and n = 5 . So the later photon ( B)  will have greater wavelength or photon  due to transition between n = 2 and n = 5 will have greater wavelength .
