Multiple ChoiceA radioactive particle weighing 7.20 x 103 ng is found 110 m above the earth's surface. What is its potential energy?616views3rank1comments
Textbook QuestionThe accompanying photo shows a pipevine swallowtail caterpillar climbing up a twig. (a) As the caterpillar climbs, its potential energy is increasing. What source of energy has been used to effect this change in potential energy?366views
Textbook QuestionConsider the two spheres shown here, one made of silver and the other of aluminum. (d) If you release the spheres simultaneously, they will have the same velocity when they hit the ground. Will they have the same kinetic energy? If not, which sphere will have more kinetic energy?395views
Textbook QuestionAn electron with a mass of 9.1 * 10-28 g is traveling at 1.8 * 107 m/s in an electron microscope. Calculate the kinetic energy of electron in units of joules, and report your answer in scientific notation. (LO 1.11) (a) 1.5 * 10-16 J (b) 1.6 * 10-20 J (c) 2.9 * 10-13 J (d) 2.9 * 10-10 J631views
Textbook Question(b) Why does increasing the temperature cause a solid substance to change in suc- cession from a solid to a liquid to a gas?387views
Textbook Question(a) Calculate the kinetic energy, in joules, of a 15-g bullet moving at 120 m/s.690views
Textbook QuestionTwo positively charged particles are first brought close together and then released. Once released, the repulsion between particles causes them to move away from each other. (b) Does the potential energy of the two particles prior to release increase or decrease as the distance between them is increased.1008views1rank

Textbook QuestionA 100-kg man decides to add to his exercise routine by walking up six flights of stairs (30 m) 10 times per day. He figures that the work required to increase his potential energy in this way will permit him to eat an extra order of French fries, at 245 Cal, without adding to his weight. Is he correct in this assumption?352views
Textbook QuestionSuppose an Olympic diver who weighs 52.0 kg executes a straight dive from a 10-m platform. At the apex of the dive, the diver is 10.8 m above the surface of the water. (b) Assuming that all the potential energy of the diver is converted into kinetic energy at the surface of the water, at what speed, in m>s, will the diver enter the water?586views
