Potential Energy = mgh , 

mass = 1.4 kg, g ≈ 10 m/s², h = 0.8m

Potential Energy = mgh = 1.4 * 10 * 0.8 = 11.2 N

Potential Energy added = 11.2 N

To calculate Potential Energy you need to Multiply 1.4*.8*9.8.... 9.8 is the acceleration due to gravity an they expect you to know to add 9.8 when you calculate Potential Energy. So the correct answer is 10.976 but rounded up is 11.

To practice Problem-Solving Strategy 23.2 for continuous charge distribution problems. A straight wire of length L has a positiv
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

             E = k Q / [d(d+L)]

Explanation:

As the charge distribution is continuous we must use integrals to solve the problem, using the equation of the elective field

       E = k ∫ dq/ r² r^

"k" is the Coulomb constant 8.9875 10 9 N / m2 C2, "r" is the distance from the load to the calculation point, "dq" is the charge element  and "r^" is a unit ventor from the load element to the point.

Suppose the rod is along the x-axis, let's look for the charge density per unit length, which is constant

         λ = Q / L

If we derive from the length we have

        λ = dq/dx       ⇒    dq = L dx

We have the variation of the cgarge per unit length, now let's calculate the magnitude of the electric field produced by this small segment of charge

        dE = k dq / x²2

        dE = k λ dx / x²

Let us write the integral limits, the lower is the distance from the point to the nearest end of the rod "d" and the upper is this value plus the length of the rod "del" since with these limits we have all the chosen charge consider

        E = k \int\limits^{d+L}_d {\lambda/x^{2}} \, dx

We take out the constant magnitudes and perform the integral

        E = k λ (-1/x){(-1/x)}^{d+L} _{d}

   

Evaluating

        E = k λ [ 1/d  - 1/ (d+L)]

Using   λ = Q/L

        E = k Q/L [ 1/d  - 1/ (d+L)]

 

let's use a bit of arithmetic to simplify the expression

     [ 1/d  - 1/ (d+L)]   = L /[d(d+L)]

The final result is

     E = k Q / [d(d+L)]

A champion athlete can produce one horsepower (746 W) for a short period of time. The number of 16-cm-high steps a 70-kg athlete
erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

407 steps

Explanation:

From the question,

P = mgh/t........... Equation 1

Where P = power, m = mass, g = acceleration due to gravity, h = height, t = time.

Make h the subject of the equation

h = Pt/mg............. Equation 2

Given: P = 746 W, t = 1 minute = 60 seconds, m = 70 kg.

Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute into equation 2

h = 746(60)/(70×9.8)

h = 44760/686

h = 65.25 m

h = 6525 cm

number of steps = 6525/16

number of steps = 407 steps

Alex throws a 0.15-kg rubber ball down onto the floor. The ball’s speed just before impact is 6.5 m/s, and just after is 3.5 m/s
Jet001 [13]

Answer: Change in ball's momentum is 1.5 kg-m/s.

Explanation: It is given that,

Mass of the ball, m = 0.15 kg

Speed before the impact, u = 6.5 m/s

Speed after the impact, v = -3.5 m/s (as it will rebound)

We need to find the change in the magnitude of the ball's momentum. It is given by :

So, the change in the ball's momentum is 1.5 kg-m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

Derive an algebraic equation for the vertical force that the bench exerts on the book at the lowest point of the circular path i
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

The algebraic equation is:

F_{v} =\frac{m_{b}v_{b}^{2}   }{R} -m_{b} g

Explanation:

Given information:

mb = book's mass

vb = tangential speed

R = radius of the path

Question: Derive an algebraic equation for the vertical force, Fv = ?

To derive the equation, we need to draw a force diagram for this case, please, see the attached diagram. As you can see, there are three types of forces acting on the system. Two up and one of the weight acting down. Therefore, the algebraic equation is as follows:

F_{v} =\frac{m_{b}v_{b}^{2}   }{R} -m_{b} g

The variables were defined above and g is the gravity.
