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 student measures the volume of a gas sample at several different temperatures. The results are tabulated as follows:Temperatur

lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

Check the first and the third choices:

a. The temperature of a gas is directly proportional to its volume

b. The temperature-to-volume ratio of a gas is constant.

Explanation:

Rewrite the table for better understanding:

Temperature of gas (K) Volume of gas (L)

298 4.55

315 4.81

325 4.96

335 ?

Calculate the ratios temperature to volume with 3 significant figures:

298 / 4.55 = 65.5

315 / 4.81 = 65.5

325 / 4.96 = 65.5

Then, those numbers show a constant temperature-to-volume ratio, which may be expressed in a formula as:

Temperature / Volume = constant, which is a directly proportional variation (the volume increases in a constant proportion to the increase of the temperature).

Hence, the correct choices are:

The temperature of a gas is directly proportional to its volume (first statement), and

The emperature-to-volume ratio of a gas is constant (third statement).

Problem #2: An apple is thrown upward with an initial velocity of +24.0 m/s. a. Sketch the apple's trip and label what you know.

bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

a) The initial velocity (u) = 24 m/s

We can solve this problem using the formula:

v² = u² - 2gh

where v = final velocity, g= acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s², h = height.

At maximum height, the final velocity = 0 m/s

v² = u² - 2gh

0² = 24² - 2(9.8)h

2(9.8)h = 24²

2(9.8)h = 576

19.6h = 576

h = 29.4 m

b) The time taken to reach the maximum height is given as:

v = u - gt

0 = 24 - 9.8t

9.8t = 24

t = 2.45 s

The total time needed for the apple to return to its original position = 2t = 2 * 2.45 = 4.9 s

In a physics laboratory experiment, a coil with 200 turns enclosing an area of 11.8 cm^2 is rotated during the time interval 4.9

Zanzabum

Answer:

Explanation:

Flux through the coil = nBA , n is no of turns , B is magnetic flux and A a is area of the coli

= 200 x 5.6 x 10⁻⁵ x 11.8 x 10⁻⁴

= 13216 x 10⁻⁹ weber .

b ) When the coil becomes parallel to magnetic field , flux through it will become zero.

c ) e m f induced = change in flux / time

= 13216 x 10⁻⁹ / 4.9 x 10⁻²

= 2697.14 x 10⁻⁷ V

= 269.7 x10⁻⁶

269.7 μV.

A hot air balloon is on the ground, 200 feet from an observer. The pilot decides to ascend at 100 ft/min. How fast is the angle

liq [111]

Answer:

0.0031792338 rad/s

Explanation:

$\theta$ = Angle of elevation

y = Height of balloon

Using trigonometry

$tan\theta=y\dfrac{y}{200}\\\Rightarrow y=200tan\theta$

Differentiating with respect to t we get

$\dfrac{dy}{dt}=\dfrac{d}{dt}200tan\theta\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{dy}{dt}=200sec^2\theta\dfrac{d\theta}{dt}\\\Rightarrow 100=200sec^2\theta\dfrac{d\theta}{dt}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{d\theta}{dt}=\dfrac{100}{200sec^2\theta}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{d\theta}{dt}=\dfrac{1}{2}cos^2\theta$

Now, with the base at 200 ft and height at 2500 ft

The hypotenuse is

$h=\sqrt{200^2+2500^2}\\\Rightarrow h=2507.98\ ft$

Now y = 2500 ft

$cos\theta=\dfrac{200}{h}\\\Rightarrow cos\theta=\dfrac{200}{2507.98}=0.07974$

$\dfrac{d\theta}{dt}=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 0.07974^2\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{d\theta}{dt}=0.0031792338\ rad/s$

The angle is changing at 0.0031792338 rad/s
