Work done is by the change in the potential energy of the system. The work done by gravity is 924.63 J.

<h3>What is the Kinetic Energy?</h3>

Potential energy in physics is the energy that an item retains as a result of its position in relation to other objects, internal tensions, electric charge, or other elements.
The gravitational potential energy of an object, which is based on its mass and distance from another object's center of mass, the elastic potential energy of an extended spring, and the electric potential energy of an electric charge in an electric field are examples of common types of potential energy. The joule, denoted by the letter J, is the energy unit in the International System of Units (SI).

Solution:

mass = 5.10 kg

height = 18.5 mm

We know that work done by the gravity on the watermelon is the change in the potential energy of the watermelon, therefore,

Work done due to gravity = change in the potential energy of the system

W = $\Delta PE$

W = mg (h₀ - h₁)

W = 5.10 × 9.8 × 18.5

W = 924.63 J

A solid disk of mass 2 kg and radius 2 m is given a horizontal push of 20N at a point .3 m above its center. a. What is the mini

Margaret [11]

Answer:

$\mu_s=1.0205$

Explanation:

Given:

mass of solid disk, $m=2\ kg$

radius of disk, $r=2\ m$

force of push applied to disk, $F=20\ N$

distance of application of force from the center, $s=0.3\ m$

<em>For the condition of no slip the force of static friction must be greater than the applied force so that there is no skidding between the contact surfaces at the contact point.</em>

$\therefore F$

where:

$f_s$ = static frictional force

$\Rightarrow 20$

$\mu_s>1.0204$

The pressure, p, of water (in pounds per square foot) at a depth of d feet below the surface is given by the formula p=15+15/33d

Viefleur [7K]

The pressure of the water on the diver is given in an expression written as:

<span>p=15+15/33d

where p is the pressure and d is the distance of the diver </span><span>below the surface.

The pressure is calculated as follows:

</span>p=15+15/33(100) = 15.00 pounds per square feet

Therefore, the correct answer is option A.

A conducting sphere contains positive charge distributed uniformly over its surface. Which statements about the potential due to

stira [4]

Answer:

a. FALSE

b. FALSE

c. TRUTH

d. FALSE

e. FALSE

Explanation:

To determine which statements are truth or false you focus in the following formula, for the electric potential generated by a conducting sphere:

$V=\frac{Q}{4\pi \epsilon_o R}$ inside the sphere

$V'=\frac{Q}{4\pi \epsilon_o r}$ for r > R (outside the sphere)

R: radius of the sphere

ε0: dielectric permittivity of vacuum

Q: charge of the sphere

As you can notice, inside the sphere the potential is constant. Inside the sphere, the potential is the same. Outside the surface the potential decreases as 1/r, being r the distance to the center of the sphere.

Hence, you can conclude:

a. The potential at the center of the sphere is zero. FALSE

b.The potential is lowest, but not zero, at the center of the sphere. FALSE

c. The potential at the center of the sphere is the same as the potential at the surface. TRUTH

d. The potential at the center is the same as the potential at infinity. FALSE

e. The potential at the surface is higher than the potential at the center. FALSE
