A student librarian lifts a 2.2 kg book from the floor to a height of 1.25 m. He carries the book 8.0 m to the stacks and places

the book on a shelf that is.35 m above the floor. How much work does he do on the book?
I understand most of it, but I am unsure of what distance to use. Please help? ...?

Consider an electron with charge −e and mass m orbiting in a circle around a hydrogen nucleus (a single proton) with charge +e.
kicyunya [3294]

Result:

v=\sqrt{k\frac{e^2}{m_e r}}, 2.18\cdot 10^6 m/s

Explanation:

The electromagnetic attraction between the electron and the proton in the nucleus is equivalent to the centripetal force:

k\frac{(e)(e)}{r^2}=m_e \frac{v^2}{r}

where

k represents the Coulomb constant

e denotes the charge of the electron

e denotes the charge of the proton in the nucleus

r signifies the distance from the electron to the nucleus

v indicates the velocity of the electron

is the mass of the electron

Rearranging for v, we determine

v=\sqrt{k\frac{e^2}{m_e r}}

Inside a hydrogen atom, the distance separating the electron from the nucleus is roughly

r=5.3\cdot 10^{-11}m

while the mass of the electron is

m_e = 9.11\cdot 10^{-31}kg

and the charge is

e=1.6\cdot 10^{-19} C

By plugging in the values into the formula, we achieve

v=\sqrt{(9\cdot 10^9 m/s) \frac{(1.6\cdot 10^{-19} C)^2}{(9.11\cdot 10^{-31} kg)(5.3\cdot 10^{-11} m)}}=2.18\cdot 10^6 m/s

Mosses don't spread by dispersing seeds; they disperse tiny spores. The spores are so small that they will stay aloft and move w
Keith_Richards [3271]

Solution:

Em_{f} / Em₀ = 0.30

Explanation:

In this problem, we apply the connection between mechanical energy, kinetic energy, and gravitational potential energy.

      K = ½ m v²

      U = mgh

We assess the mechanical energy at two positions:

Initial. Lower

    Em₀ = K = ½ m v²

At its highest point

    Em_{f} = U = mg and

Now let's compute

    Em₀ = ½ m 3.6²

    Em₀ = m 6.48

    Em_{f} = m 9.8 × 0.2

    Em_{f} = m 1.96

Thus the energy lost is given by:

    Em_{f} / Em₀ = m 1.96 / m 6.48

   Em_{f} / Em₀ = 0.30

This means that 30% of the sun's energy is transformed into potential energy.

There are various conversion possibilities.

This energy changes into thermal energy affecting the spores and air, since it cannot be regained.
