When gravity increases what happens to weight?

A penguin slides at a constant velocity of 3.57 m/s down an icy incline. The incline slopes above the horizontal at an angle of

igomit [66]

Answer:t=0.81 s

Explanation:

Given

Penguin slides down with constant velocity of 3.57 m/s

as the Penguin Slides with constant velocity therefore $F_{net}$ is zero on Penguin

$F_{net}=mg\sin \theta -f_r$

$f_r=$ friction Force

$f_r=\mu mg$

$\mu =$ coefficient of Kinetic friction

$mg\sin \theta =\mu mg$

$\tan \theta =\mu$

$\mu =\tan 9.85=0.45$

after reaching on floor final velocity of penguin will be zero after time t

thus

$v=u+at$

here $a=\mu g$

$a=0.45\times 9.8=4.41$ (deceleration)

$0=3.57-4.41\times t$

$t=\frac{3.57}{4.41}=0.809$

$t=0.81 s$

True or false if an object has energy it must be moving

Drupady [299]

Answer:

Explanation:

If an object is moving, it is said to have kinetic energy (KE). Potential energy (PE) is energy that is "stored" because of the position and/or arrangement of the object. The classic example of potential energy is to pick up a brick. When it's on the ground, the brick had a certain amount of energy.

An owl weighing 40N is sitting in a tree waiting to dive down to catch a mouse. If the owl's potential energy is 800 J with resp

Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

Explanation:

<u>Gravitational Potential Energy</u>

Gravitational potential energy (GPE) is the energy stored in an object due to its vertical position or height in a gravitational field.

It can be calculated with the equation:

U=m.g.h

Where m is the mass of the object, h is the height with respect to a fixed reference, and g is the acceleration of gravity or $9.8 m/s^2$ .

The weight of an object of mass m is:

W = m.g

Thus, the GPE is:

U=W.h

Solving for h:

$\displaystyle h=\frac{U}{W}$

The weight of the owl is W=40 N and its GPE is U=800 J.

$\displaystyle h=\frac{800}{40}=20$

h = 20 m

Jack tries to place magnets on his refrigerator at home, but they won’t stick. What could be the reason?

saul85 [17]

The most probable reason why the magnets won't stick on the refrigerator is that the body of the refrigerator and the magnets have like poles. If both have negative or both have positive poles facing each other, they will repel. In principle, magnets are attracted to opposite poles and like poles repel.

In the nuclear fission process mass is converted into energy. Determine the total mass that must be converted to energy in one y

brilliants [131]

Answer:

1) Mass that needs to be converted at 100% efficiency is 0.3504 kg

2) Mass that needs to be converted at 30% efficiency is 1.168 kg

Explanation:

By the principle of mass energy equivalence we have

$E=mc^{2}$

where,

'E' is the energy produced

'm' is the mass consumed

'c' is the velocity of light in free space

Now the energy produced by the reactor in 1 year equals

$Energy=Power\times time\\\\\therefore Energy=1\times 10^{9}\times 365\times 24\times 3600\\\\Energy=31.536\times 10^{15}Joules$

Thus the mass that is covertred at 100% efficiency is

$mass=\frac{Energy}{c^{2}}\\\\mass=\frac{31.536\times 10^{15}}{(3\times 10^{8})^{2}}\\\\mass=\frac{31.536\times 10^{15}}{9\times 10^{16}}\\\\\therefore mass=0.3504kg$

Part 2)

At 30% efficiency the mass converted equals

$mass|_{30}=\frac{mass|_{100}}{0.3}\\\\mass|_{30}=\frac{0.3504}{0.3}\\\\mass|_{30}=1.168kg$
