A chain of length L has a mass of m which is uniformly distributed. When it is placed on a smooth horizontal table, 1/4 of its l

ength hangs over the edge of the table (as shown in the figure). Then the chain slides away from the table freely, how much gravitational potential energy has changed from the beginning to the chain just sliding away from the table? (The height of the table from the ground is much greater than L)

Gravitational potential energy has changed from the beginning to the chain just sliding away from the table willl be MgL/24.

<h3>What is gravitational potential energy?</h3>

The energy that an item has due to its location in a gravitational field is known as gravitational potential energy.

Length of hanging part, L/4

The gravitational potential energy is;

Work = Gravitational potential energy

Work done =force×displacement

\rm W = \frac{Mg}{3} \times \frac{L}{8} \\\\ W = \frac{MgL}{24}

Hence, gravitational potential energy has changed from the beginning to the chain just sliding away from the table willl be MgL/24.

If the net external force acting on a system is zero , then the total momentum of the system is zero
Neporo4naja [7]
If net external force acting on the system is zero, momentum is conserved. That means, initial and final momentum are same → total momentum of the system is zero.

Hydrogen is found in three different states inside Jupiter, ______, liquid, and liquid ______.
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

gas, metal

Explanation:

The three states of by which hydrogen is found in Jupiter is made up of:

  1. Gaseous hydrogen
  2. liquid hydrogen
  3. liquid metal hydrogen

This is also the same states found in Saturn too.

The pressure inside the largest planet in our solar system is very great.

  • Hydrogen and helium makes up the entirety of the planet Jupiter.
  • It has been discovered that inside this planet, hydrogen often occurs as gas, liquid and metal
  • This is often attributed to the huge amount of pressure in the planet.
