Can someone tell me about energy and potential energy

An object of mass 20kg is falling in air and experiences a force due to air resistance of 40N. Determine the net force acting on the object and calculate the acceleration of the object.

The length of the wing of an air plane is 10 m. Its horizontal velocity is 200 m /s. If the vertical component of the earth’s magnetic field is 5.0 × 10^-5 weber /m2, calculate the potential difference developed across the two ends of the wing.

A track team is practicing for a 4 x 100 m relay race. The first runner, Linda, is running at a constant speed of 8.6 m/s. The next runner, Jenny, will be starting from rest at the 80 m mark. She has an acceleration of 1.0 m/s2. Ideally the two runners meet at the 100 m mark to hand over the baton. At this point, Jenny is still accelerating.

a) At what distance behind Jenny should Linda be when Jenny starts running? (Assume for simplicity that there is no distance between the two runners when the switch happens.)

b) How long does it take Jenny to run from the 80-m mark to the 100-m mark?

c) What’s Jenny’s speed at the 100m mark? Linda Jenny

I need to know how can sorters works. They pick up steel cans but not aluminium ones. Why?

I need to mention the works like magnetism, electromagnets

Calculate the ground state energy of the B4+ ion (i.e. for n = 1), and the energy of the next four highest energy levels (i.e. for n = 2, 3, 4, 5).

My answers are:- boron z=5

n=1 E1 = -340 eV n=2 E2 = -85 eV n=3 E3 = -37.78 eV n=4 E4 = -21.25 eV n=5 E5 = -13.6 eV

Are these right? thanks for your help.

I have a table of values for a projectile moving away from a radar station. My first column is the time (t) of 0 to 60 with time steps of 4. I then have a distance(km) of the projectile from the radar station followed by the angle(radians) of the projectile to the radar station.

The distance obviously increases by time along with a lowering of the angle of the projectile to the radar station.

I need to write a program which will work out the magnitude of velocity and acceleration for each time step (each 4 seconds upto 60) as the projectile moves away. I am confused how to do this because I am unsure how to approximate the derivatives. I can give further data and formulas if required. The program is the easy bit but I just don't know how to get the write answers into Excel first so I can work out how to program it correctly.

I need to do a presentation on Magnetism. The presentation needs to be enjoyable and informative. Basically I am sposed to teach them but I dunno wat to do. Any ideas?

Carol eats a regular hamburger and drinks a glass of cow's milk for breakfast. Suppose that energy content of the hamburger and the milk are 2115 kJ and 565kJ respectively. What % of energy from the food does Carol use to push a sack of rice along a horizontal distance of 4.75 m? Her hands exerted a force of 50N applied 20° down with the horizontal.

What is physics

Without using your spring scale, estimate the order of magnitude of the mass of your calculator in grams from what you judge to be its size, using the fact that the density of water is 1 g/cm3. Assume that the density of water is about the same as the density of your calculator. 1 g 102 g 104 g 106 g

I have been asked to list 6 properties which I think the ideal energy resource should have for generating electricity in a power station. So far I have: Clean and pollution free Efficient allowing the majority of the energy to be harnessed Cheap to source, refine, store and transport Plentiful and renewable Safe to use, store and transport

Do those sound ok so far? I can't think of a 6th one but was considering putting easy to transport to homes but with the question stating that it is for generating electricity in a power station that already accounts for the transport.
