- The signs of the two changes in potential energy are opposite
Explanation:
When the proton and electron both move through the same displacement in an electric field, the change in potential energy that is associated with the proton is equal in magnitude.
Also, it should be noted that the signs of the two changes in potential energy are opposite.
b. Block on an incline
A block of mass mı = 3.9 kg on a smooth inclined plane of angle 38° is connected by a cord over a small frictionless
pulley to a second block of mass m2 = 2.6 kg hanging vertically. Take the positive direction up the incline and use 9.81
m/s2 for g.
What is the tension in the cord to the nearest whole number?
Block on the incline:
• net force parallel to the incline
∑ F (para.) = m₁ g sin(38°) - T = m₁ a
where T is the magnitude of tension in the cord.
Notice that we take down-the-incline to be the positive direction, so that if the 3.9-kg block pulls the 2.6-kg block upwards, then the acceleration of the system is positive.
Suspended block:
• net vertical force
∑ F (vert.) = T - m₂ g = m₂ a
Solve both equations for the acceleration a, set the results equal to one another, and solve for T :
a = g sin(38°) - T/m₁
a = T/m₂ - g
==> g sin(38°) - T/m₁ = T/m₂ - g
==> T (1/m₂ + 1/m₁) = g (sin(38°) + 1)
==> T = g (sin(38°) + 1) / (1/m₂ + 1/m₁)
==> T = (9.81 m/s²) (sin(38°) + 1) / (1/(2.6 kg) + 1/(3.9 kg)) ≈ 25 N

If UP is assumed to be the positive direction and we let gravity be 10 m/s² which will be in the downward direction so will be negative.
a) v = 6 + (-10)(0.5) = 1 m/s the result is positive, so upward
b) v = 6 + (-10)(2) = -14 m/s the result is negative, so downward
En la siguiente expresión matemáticas w=mg el peso w con relación a se relaciona con la masa m en una proporción
a) Directamente proporcional b) Inversamente proporcional c) Es constante
d) Ninguna de las anteriore
Answer:
a) Directamente proporcional
Explanation:
El peso se puede definir como la fuerza que actúa sobre un cuerpo o un objeto como resultado de la gravedad.
Matemáticamente, el peso de un objeto viene dado por la fórmula;
[tex] Peso = mg [/tex]
Donde;
m es la masa del objeto.
g es la aceleración debida a la gravedad.
De la expresión matemática, podemos deducir que el valor del peso de un objeto es directamente proporcional a la masa del objeto.
Por lo tanto, un aumento en la masa de un objeto provocaría un aumento en el peso del objeto y viceversa.

A 1-cm long wire carrying 15 A is inside a solenoid 4 cm in radius with 800 turns/m carrying a current of 40 mA. The wire segment is oriented perpendicularly to the axis of the solenoid. What is the magnitude of the magnetic force on this wire segment in ???? N?
Answer:
the magnitude of the magnetic force on the wire segment is 6.03 x 10⁻⁶ N
Explanation:
Given;
length of the conductor, L = 1 cm = 0.01 m
current carried by the solenoid, I₁ = 15 A
radius of the solenoid, r = 4 cm
number of turns per length of the solenoid, n = 800 turns/m
current carried by the solenoid, I₂ = 40 mA = 0.04 A
The magnetic field of the solenoid is calculated as;
B = μnI₂
where;
μ is the permeability of free space = 4π x 10⁻⁷ Tm/A
B = ( 4π x 10⁻⁷) x (800) x (0.04)
B = 4.022 x 10⁻⁵ T
The magnitude of the magnetic force on the wire segment is calculated as;
F = BI₁L sinθ
where
θ is the angle made by the wire segment against the solenoid = 90⁰
F = (4.022 x 10⁻⁵) x (15) x (0.01) x sin(90)
F = 6.03 x 10⁻⁶ N
Therefore, the magnitude of the magnetic force on the wire segment is 6.03 x 10⁻⁶ N

Complete question:
A bullet 2 cm long is fired at 420m/s and passes straight through a 10.0 cm thick board, exiting at 280m/s? What is the average acceleration of the bullet through the board?
Answer:
The average acceleration of the bullet through the board is -4.083 x 10⁵ m/s²
Explanation:
Given;
initial velocity of the bullet, u = 420 m/s
final velocity of the bullet, v = 280 m/s
length of the bullet, d₁ = 2 cm
thickness of the board, d₂ = 10 cm
total distance penetrated by the bullet through the board;
d = d₁ + d₂ = 2 cm + 10 cm = 12 cm = 0.12 m
The average acceleration of the bullet through the board is calculated as;
[tex]v^2 = u^2 + 2ad\\\\2ad = v^2 - u^2\\\\a = \frac{v^2 - u^2}{2d} \\\\a = \frac{(280^2) - (420^2)}{2(0.12)} = -4.083 \times 10^{5} \ m/s^2[/tex]
Therefore, the average acceleration of the bullet through the board is -4.083 x 10⁵ m/s²
Light takes 1.2 sec to get from the moon to the Earth. Assume you are looking at the moon with noticeable earth shine. If the Sun burned out, you would eventually see the crescent of the moon disappear. The earth shine part of the moon would disappear Answer 2.4 s after the crescent disappeared.
Answer:
1.2 seconds
Explanation:
Answer to the following question is 1.2 seconds
Because light from the moon takes 1.2 seconds to reach Earth, the light released from the crescent immediately before it vanishes will also take 1.2 seconds to reach Earth. As a result, the earth-shine portion of the moon will vanish 1.2 seconds after the crescent has vanished.
In first case a mass M is split into two parts with one part being 1/6.334 th of the original mass. In second case M is split into two equal parts. In both the cases the two parts are separated by same distance. What ratio of the magnitude of the gravitational force in first case to the magnitude of the gravitational force in the second case
Answer:
[tex]F_r=0.132:0.25[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that:
[tex]M_1=M*\frac{1}{6.334}[/tex]
Therefore
[tex]M_2=M-M*\frac_{1}{6.334}[/tex]
[tex]M_2=M*\frac{5.334}{6.334}[/tex]
Generally the equation for Gravitational force of attraction is mathematically given by
For Unequal split
[tex]F=\frac{GM_1M_2}{d^2}[/tex]
[tex]F=\frac{G(M*\frac_{1}{6.334})(M*\frac{5.334}{6.334})}{d^2}[/tex]
[tex]F=\frac{GM^2}{d^2}*(0.132)[/tex]
For equal split
[tex]F=\frac{GM_1M_2}{d^2}[/tex]
[tex]F=\frac{G(\frac{M}{2})((\frac{M}{2}}{d^2}[/tex]
[tex]F=0.25 \frac{GM^2}{d^2}[/tex]
Therefore the ratio of the gravitational force is

A bus moving on a straight road increases its speed uniformly from rest to 20m's over a time period of 1 min. The distance travelled during the time is (a) 150 m (b) 300 m (c) 600 m (d) 900 m
Explanation:
Given that,
Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/sFinal velocity (v) = 20 m/sTime taken (t) = 1 minute = 60 secondsIn order to find the distance travelled, firstly we need calculate the acceleration.
→ v = u + at
→ 20 = 0 + 60a
→ 20 = 60a
→ 20 ÷ 60 = a
→ ⅓ m/s² = a
Now, by using the 2nd equation of motion :
→ s = ut + ½at²
→ s = 0(60) + ½ × ⅓ × (60)²
→ s = ⅙ × 3600
→ s = 1 × 600
→ s = 600 m
Hence, the distance travelled is 600 m.
A force of 1000N is used to kick a football of mass 0.8kg find the velocity with which the ball moves if it takes 0.8 sec to be kicked.
The velocity of the ball is 100m/s
The first step is to write out the parameters;
The force used to kick the ball is 1000N
The mass of the ball is 0.8 kg
Time is 0.8 seconds
Therefore the velocity can be calculated as follows
F= Mv-mu/t
1000= 0.8(v) - 0.8(0)/0.8
1000= 0.8v- 0.8/0.8
Cross multiply both sides
1000(0.8) = 0.8v
800= 0.8v
divide both sides by the coefficient of v which is 8
800/0.8= 0.8v/0.8
v= 1000m/s
Hence the velocity is 1000m/s

The correct statements about resistivity of any given metal are The resistivity of metal is more than that of insulators and Metals can carry electricity more easily than insulators. Option a and c are correct answer.
Resistivity is a property that quantifies how strongly a material opposes the flow of electric current. Metals have lower resistivity compared to insulators. This means that metals allow electric current to flow more easily than insulators.
Due to their lower resistivity, metals have higher electrical conductivity and can carry electric current more easily compared to insulators. Insulators, on the other hand, have high resistivity and hinder the flow of electric current. Resistivity is a material-specific property and varies for different substances. Metals, such as copper or aluminum, have low resistivity and are often used as conductors for transmitting electricity. Insulators, such as rubber or plastic, have high resistivity and are used to prevent the flow of electricity.

A person runs up the stairs elevating his 102 kg body a vertical distance of 2.29 meters in a time of 1.32 seconds at a constant speed.
Determine the work done by the person climbing the stair case.
Answer:
Work done = 2289.084 Joules
Explanation:
Given the following data;
Mass = 102 Kg
Height = 2.29
Time = 1.32 seconds
We know that acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²
a. To find the work done by the person;
Here, work would be done in the form of gravitational potential energy.
Gravitational potential energy (GPE) is an energy possessed by an object or body due to its position above the earth.
Mathematically, gravitational potential energy is given by the formula;
G.P.E = mgh
Where;
G.P.E represents potential energy measured in Joules.
m represents the mass of an object.
g represents acceleration due to gravity measured in meters per seconds square.
h represents the height measured in meters.
Substituting into the formula, we have;
Work done = 102 * 2.29 * 9.8
Work done = 2289.084 Joules
A Ball A and a Ball B collide elastically. The initial momentum of Ball A is -2.00kgm/s and the initial momentum of Ball B is -5.00kgm/s. Ball A has a mass of 4.00kg and is traveling at 2.50 m/s after the collision. What is the velocity of ball B if it has a mass of 6.50kg?
The velocity of B after the collision is obtained as -2.6 m/s.
What is the principle of conservation of momentum?Now we now that the principle of conservation of momentum states that the momentum before collision is equal to the momentum after collision.
Thus;
(-2.00kgm/s) + ( -5.00kgm/s) = ( 4.00kg * 2.50 m/s) + ( 6.50kg * v)
-7 = 10 + 6.5v
-7 - 10 = 6.5v
v = -7 - 10 /6.5
v = -2.6 m/s
Hence, the velocity of B after the collision is obtained as -2.6 m/s.

Labels: Isobaric process; W= 0J; Work done on the system; Work done by the system.
I will give brainliest!
P.S. AL2006 if you see this please help!
I'm not very good at this material. I'll try it, but if I were you, I wouldn't bet money on these answers.
"Isobaric" means constant pressure. So those are the horizontal lines, where every point on the line is at the same pressure. Those are the processes 1>2 and 3>4 .
I'm going around and around in my mind with the other labels, and I can't decide. So I'm afraid I can't answer any more of them ... they might be wrong.
Answer:
1 -> 2 & 3 -> 4: Isobaric process
4 -> 1: Work done BY the system
2 -> 3: Work done ON the system
W(total): W = 0J
Explanation:
The two horizontal lines (1 -> 2 & 3 -> 4) are "Isobaric" since isobaric processes take place at constant pressure. I believe 4 -> 1 is "Work done BY the system" since pressure increases when there is an increase of thermal energy, in other words, the system is absorbing heat. This is why the volume increases from 1 -> 2 after the system has absorbed heat in 4 -> 1. Following the directions of the arrows, 2 -> 3 would be "Work done ON the system" since pressure is DECREASING, meaning temperature is also exiting the system. That's why the next step (3 -> 4) shows a decrease in volume. This model depicts a process that has a W(total) of 0 J because this is a cycle.
I hope this helps :))

b. Projectile on cliff (range)
An object of mass 5 kg is projected at an angle of 25° to the horizontal with a speed of 22 ms-1 from the top of the cliff.
The height of the cliff is 21 m. Take g, the acceleration due to gravity, to be 9.81 ms2
How far horizontally (to 1 decimal place) from the base of the cliff does the object land?
Answer:
x = 41.28 m
Explanation:
This is a projectile launching exercise, let's find the time it takes to get to the base of the cliff.
Let's start by using trigonometry to find the initial velocity
cos 25 = v₀ₓ / v₀
sin 25 = Iv_{oy} / v₀
v₀ₓ = v₀ cos 25
v_{oy} = v₀ sin 25
v₀ₓ = 22 cos 25 = 19.94 m / s
v_{oy} = 22 sin 25 = 0.0192 m / s
let's use movement on the vertical axis
y = y₀ + v_{oy} t - ½ g t²
when reaching the base of the cliff y = 0 and the initial height is y₀ = 21 m
0 = 21 + 0.0192 t - ½ 9.81 t²
4.905 t² - 0.0192 t - 21 = 0
t² - 0.003914 t - 4.2813 =0
we solve the quadratic equation
t = [tex]\frac{ 0.003914\ \pm \sqrt{0.003914^2 + 4 \ 4.2813 } }{2}[/tex]
t = [tex]\frac{0.003914 \ \pm 4.13828}{2}[/tex]
t₁ = 2.07 s
t₂ = -2.067 s
since time must be a positive scalar quantity, the correct result is
t = 2.07 s
now we can look up the distance traveled
x = v₀ₓ t
x = 19.94 2.07
x = 41.28 m
The time delay between transmission and the arrival of the reflected wave of a signal using ultrasound traveling through a piece of fat tissue was 0.13 ms. At what depth did this reflection occur? (The average propagation speed for sound in body tissue is 1540 m/s)
Answer:
10.01 cm
Explanation:
Given that,
The time delay between transmission and the arrival of the reflected wave of a signal using ultrasound traveling through a piece of fat tissue was 0.13 ms.
The average propagation speed for sound in body tissue is 1540 m/s.
We need to find the depth when the reflection occur. We know that, the distance is double when transmitting and arriving. So,
[tex]v=\dfrac{2d}{t}\\\\d=\dfrac{vt}{2}\\\\d=\dfrac{1540\times 0.13\times 10^{-3}}{2}\\\\d= $$0.1001\ m[/tex]
or
d = 10.01 cm
So, the reflection will occur at 10.01 cm.
