From the calculations, the mass of the pole is 82 Kg.

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

The term potential energy has to do with the energy that is possessed by a body by virtue of its position.

Given that;

height = 6.15 m

PE = 4942 J

mass = ??

g = 9.8 m/s^2

Now

PE = mgh

m = PE/gh

m = 4942 J/9.8 m/s^2 * 6.15 m

m = 82 Kg

A race car moving along a circular track has a centripetal acceleration of 15.4 m/s? If the car has

Helen [10]

Answer:

r = 58.44 [m]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use the following equation that relates the centripetal acceleration with the tangential velocity and the radius of rotation.

a = v²/r

where:

a = centripetal acceleration = 15.4 [m/s²]

v = tangential speed = 30 [m/s]

r = radius or distance [m]

r = v²/a

r = 30²/15.4

r = 58.44 [m]

Can a average velocity be zero.Why?

marishachu [46]

<u>Answer:</u>

Yes

<u>Explanation:</u>

Average velocity is the ratio of total displacement and time taken for that displacement:

$average \space\ velocity = \frac{displacement}{time}$

This means if displacement is zero, then average velocity will also be zero.

Displacement is zero when an object moves some distance in one direction, and then moves the same distance but in the opposite direction.

∴ As it is possible for displacement to be zero, it is also possible for average velocity to be zero.

A 13.0-g wad of sticky clay is hurled horizontally at a 110-g wooden block initially at rest on a horizontal surface. The clay s

Alisiya [41]

Answer:

$v_{ic}=92.53 m/s$

Explanation:

We need to apply conservation of momentum and energy to solve this problem.

<u>Conservation of momentum</u>

$p_{i}=p_{f}$

$m_{c}v_{ic}=(m_{c}+m_{w})V$ (1)

m(c) is the mass of stick clay
m(w) is the mass of the wooden block
v(ic) is the initial velocity of clay
V is the final velocity of the system clay plus wood.

<u>Conservation of total energy</u>

The change in kinetic energy is equal to the change in internal energy, in our case it would be the energy loss due to the friction force. Let's recall the definition of work, it is the dot product between force and displacement, Therefore:

$\Delta E=W$

$\frac{1}{2}(m_{c}+m_{w})V^{2}=F_{friction}*d$

$\frac{1}{2}(m_{c}+m_{w})V^{2}=\mu (m_{c}+m_{w})gd$

We can find V from this equation:

$V=\sqrt{2\mu gd}=\sqrt{2*0.65*9.81*7.5}=9.78 m/s$

Now, let's put V into the equation (1) and find v(ic)

$v_{ic}=\frac{(m_{c}+m_{w})V}{m_{c}}=\frac{123*9.78}{13}=92.53 m/s$

I hope it helps you!

The power lines are at a high potential relative to the ground, so there is an electric field between the power lines and the gr

s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:C.The tube should be held vertically, perpendicular to the ground.

Explanation: Power lines are mainly overhead power installation that transfer electric energy from one place to another. Electric power lines contains both Magnetic field and Electric field.

Potential difference is the change in the amount of energy carried by an electric circuit from one point to another. TO MAXIMIZE THE POTENTIAL DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ONE END OF THE TUBE AND ANOTHER? THE TUBE SHOULD BE HELD VERTICALLY,PERPENDICULAR TO THE GROUND.

If you were going to describe the relationship between current, voltage, and power, you could say: (1 point) Group of answer cho

Ber [7]

Answer:

The correct option is "In order to gain more power you would need to increase either current or voltage."

Explanation:

To answer the question, we note that;

The formula for Electrical Power are as follows,

P = I²·R, or P = I·V,

Therefore, if we increase either the current, I with the voltage, V remaining constant or we increase the Voltage, V with the current, I remaining constant or we increase both the voltage, V an the current, I the Power, P will be increased.

Therefore, the correct option is "In order to gain more power you would need to increase either current or voltage."
