Answer:

In physics, the kinetic energy (KE) of an object is the energy that it possesses due to its motion

In classical mechanics, the gravitational potential at a location is equal to the work (energy transferred) per unit mass that would be needed to move an object to that location from a fixed reference location. It is analogous to the electric potential with mass playing the role of charge. The reference location, where the potential is zero, is by convention infinitely far away from any mass, resulting in a negative potential at any finite distance.

In mathematics, the gravitational potential is also known as the Newtonian potential and is fundamental in the study of potential theory. It may also be used for solving the electrostatic and magnetostatic fields generated by uniformly charged or polarized ellipsoidal bodies

A car takes off from rest takes of from rest and covers a distance of 80m on a straight road in 10s.Calculate the magnitude of i

hodyreva [135]

Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s [the car was at rest]
Distance (s) = 80 m
Time (t) = 10 s
Let the magnitude of acceleration be a.
By using the equation of motion, $s = ut + \frac{1}{2} a {t}^{2}$ we get, $80 = 0 \times 10 + \frac{1}{2} \times a \times {10}^{2} \\ = > 80 = \frac{1}{2} \times 100a \\ = > 80 = 50a \\ = > a = \frac{80}{50} \\ = > a = 1.6$

Answer:

The magnitude of its acceleration is 1.6 m/s^2.

Hope you could get an idea from here.

a runner starts from rest and has an acceleration of 3 m/s^2. How fast is she running after 1.1 seconds

grigory [225]

Acceleration x time = velocity

Since you're given acceleration and time, just plug the values into the equation.

3 $\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ x 1.1 s = ?

Solve that equation, and remember your velocity should be in m/s.

A thin aluminum rod lies along the x-axis and has current of I = 16.0 A running through it in the +x-direction. The rod is in th

coldgirl [10]

Answer:

a) The magnitude of the magnetic field = 7.1 mT

b) The direction of the magnetic field is the +z direction.

Explanation:

The force, F on a current carrying wire of current I, and length, L, that passes through a magnetic field B at an angle θ to the flow of current is given by

F = (B)(I)(L) sin θ

F/L = (B)(I) sin θ

For this question,

(F/L) = 0.113 N/m

B = ?

I = 16.0 A

θ = 90°

0.113 = B × 16 × sin 90°

B = 0.113/16 = 0.0071 T = 7.1 mT

b) The direction of the magnetic field will be found using the right hand rule.

The right hand rule uses the first three fingers on the right hand (the thumb, the pointing finger and the middle finger) and it predicts correctly that for current carrying wires, the thumb is in the direction the wire is pushed (direction of the force; -y direction), the pointing finger is in the direction the current is flowing (+x direction), and the middle finger is in the direction of the magnetic field (hence, +z direction).

Kobotan [32]

Answer:

v_y = v_{oy} - g t

where the upward direction is positive, so the arrow represents this speed (blue) must decrease, reach zero and grow in a negative direction as time progresses

Explanation:

In this exercise you are asked to observe the change in velocity in a projectile launch.

If we assume that the friction force is small, the velocity in the x-axis must be constant

vₓ = v₀ₓ

Therefore, the arrow (red) that represents this movement must not change in magnitude.

In the direction of the y axis, the acceleration of gravity is acting, so the magnitude of the velocity in this axis changes

v_y = v_{oy} - g t

where the upward direction is positive, so the arrow represents this speed (blue) must decrease, reach zero and grow in a negative direction as time progresses
