Explanation:

an object's gravitational potential energy Eg is m×g×h where:

m=mass

g=9.8m/s²

h=height relative to the closest object below it (because it cannot potentially fall through it

so Eg = 15×9.8×5=735J

A cargo elevator on Earth (where g = 10 m/s2) lifts 3000 kg upwards by 20 m. 720 kJ of electrical energy is used up in the proce

MakcuM [25]

Answer: 83%

Explanation:

Efficiency of the process = work output/work input × 100%

Work input is the energy used up in the process = 720,000Joules

Work output = Force × distance

= (3000×10)× 20

= 600000 Joules

Efficiency= 600000/720000 × 100

= 0.83×100

= 83%

two masses are kept 2 metre apart there is gravitational force of 2 Newton what is the gravitational force when they are kept at

sukhopar [10]

Answer: 0.5N

Explanation:

Gravitational force is calculated using the formula :

F = Gm1m2/r^2

Where G is the gravitational constant (6.67 × 10^-11)

At a distance 'r' of 2metres apart:

Mass of objects are m1 and m2

Gravitational force 'F1' = 2N

Inputting values into the formula :

2 = Gm1m2 / 2^2 - - - - - (1)

At a distance 'r' of 4meters apart:

Mass of objects are m1 and m2

Gravitational force 'F2' = y

Inputting values

F2 = Gm1m2 / 4^2 - - - - - (2)

Dividing equations 1 and 2

2 = Gm1m2 / 2^2 ÷ F2 = Gm1m2 / 4^2

2 / F2 = (Gm1m2 / 4) / (Gm1m2 / 16)

2 / F2 = (Gm1m2 / 4) × (16 / Gm1m2)

2/F2 = 16 / 4

Cross multiply

2 × 4 = 16 × F2

8 = 16F2

F2 = 8/16

F2 = 0.5N

Combine these three velocity vectors into a resultant: 3.0 m/s north, 4.0 m/s east 1.0 m/s west. Identify the resultant vector

Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

The resultant vector is 1 m/s

Explanation:

The resultant vector is 1 m/s west based on triangle law of vector addition, when two sides of a triangle is represented by two vectors, the resultant vector is the third side of the triangle.

Ohms law is A.(R=E/W). B.(R=E/1). C.(E/Z). D.none of them

nikklg [1K]

Answer:

D. none of them.

Explanation:

This is because Ohm's law is:

Voltage = Current × Resistance

or,

V = IR
