The net gain in potential energy by the crate is 120 J.

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

Potential energy is the energy that an object has stored in it as a result of its position or condition. Potential energy exists in a stretched spring, a book held above your head, and a bicycle on top of a hill. The joule, which is represented by the letter "J," is the standard unit for calculating potential energy.

<h3 /><h3>Calculation:</h3>

We use the idea of potential energy, which is given by the equation,

PE = mgh

where,

m = mass of the crate

g = gravitational acceleration

h = height

Given,

mg = 40 N

L = 5 m

angle of inclination, ∅ = 37°

h = L sin∅

h = 5 (sin 37°)

h = 5 (3/5)

h = 3 m

Put the values in the above formula,

PE = mgh

PE = 40 (3)

PE = 120 J

Therefore, the net gain in potential energy by the crate is 120 J.

A teacher performing demonstration finds that a piece of cork displaces 23.5 ml of water. The piece of cork has a mass 5.7 g. Wh

Sedbober [7]

Answer: 0.24g/ml

Explanation:

Given that:

Volume of water displaced = 23.5 ml

Mass of cork = 5.7 g

Density of the cork = ?

Recall that density is obtained by dividing the mass of a substance by the volume of water displaced.

i.e Density = Mass/volume

Density = 5.7g /23.5ml

Density = 0.24g/ml

Thus, the density of the piece of cork is 0.24g/ml

A 5.00 kg rock whose density is 4300 kg/m3 is suspended by a string such that half of the rock's volume is under water. You may

12345 [234]

Answer:

The tension on the string is $T = 43.302 \ N$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass of the rock is $m_r = 5.00 \ kg = 5000 \ g$

The density of the rock is $\rho = 4300 \ kg/m^3 = 4.3 g/dm^3$

Generally the volume of the rock is mathematically evaluated as

$V = \frac{m_r}{\rho}$

substituting values

$V = \frac{5000}{4.3}$

$V = 1162.7 \ dm^3$

The volume of the rock immersed in water is

$V_w = \frac{V}{2}$

substituting values

$V_w = \frac{1162.7 }{2}$

$V_w = 581.4 \ dm^3$

mass of water been displaced by the this volume is

$m_w = V_w$ According to Archimedes principle

=> $m_w = 581.4 \ g$

$m_w = 0.5814 \ kg$

The weight of the water displace is

$W _w = m_w * g$

$W _w = 0.5814 * 9.8$

$W _w = 5.698 \ N$

The actual weight of the rock is

$W_r = m_r * g$

$W_r = 5.0 * 9.8$

$W_r = 49.0 \ N$

The tension on the string is

$T = W_r - W_w$

substituting values

$T = 49.0 - 5.698$

$T = 43.302 \ N$

If a girl is standing in front of a smooth surface from which a sound is reflected, the girl may hear

gavmur [86]

Near the surface of reflection, reflected wave may interfere with incident wave leading to production of constructive and as well as destructive interference. This in turn, can result to resonance as well as enhancement of the sound intensity as the waves of reflection adds to incident wave. Therefore, the girl would higher intensity of reflected waves as compared to incident waves.

Therefore, statement A is correct.

The riddle is solved by knowing that there is only one person left in the garden and that is you.

<h3>How many people are in the garden?</h3>

We are told that there were a total of 34 people in the yard. We do not know if these people are in the garden or somewhere around the yard. The next information we have is that a total of 30 persons were killed.

Since you killed them in the garden, the others may still be lurking somewhere in the yard thus there is only one person left in the garden and that is you.

What is air pressure?

dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

A. Earth's gravity pulling down on air molecules

Explanation:

Air pressure refers to the weight of the air per unit surface area. It is the amount of gravitational force which is pulling down the molecules of air.

The common unit of air pressure is: Pascal, atm

1 atm = 101325 Pa

As the column of the air above increases, the air pressure increase. This is because with the increase in amount of air, the weight increase of the air increases. This is the reason a diver feels immense pressure in the sea and cooking takes a lot of time on hilly areas because of low air pressure.
