Answer : Potential energy of the cat is 117.6 J.

Explanation :

It is given that,

Mass of the cat, m = 4 kg

Height from the ground, h = 3 m

We know that the potential energy of the cat is possessed by the virtue of its height under the action of gravity.

Mathematically, it is given as :

PE=mgh

PE=4\ kg\times 9.8\ m/s^2\times 3\ m

PE=117.6\ J

Hence, this is the required solution

Gravitational potential energy = mass × gravity × height

Ep = (4)(9.81)(3)

Energy = 117.72 Joules

= 1.2x10^2 Joules

In which electric circuit would the voltmeter read 10 volts ?
ki77a [65]

Given that,

Voltage = 10 volt

Suppose, The three resistance is connected in parallel and each resistance is 12 Ω. find the current in the electric circuit.

We need to calculate the equivalent resistance

Using formula of parallel

\dfrac{1}{R}=\dfrac{1}{R_{1}}+\dfrac{1}{R_{2}}+\dfrac{1}{R_{3}}

Put the value into the formula

\dfrac{1}{R}=\dfrac{1}{12}+\dfrac{1}{12}+\dfrac{1}{12}

\dfrac{1}{R}=\dfrac{1}{4}

R=4\ \Omega

We need to calculate the current in the circuit

Using ohm's law

V=IR

I=\dfrac{V}{R}

Where, V = voltage

R = resistance

Put the value into the formula

I=\dfrac{10}{4}

I=2.5\ A

Hence, The current in the circuit is 2.5 A

If a volume of air is warmed, it expands and tends to
Butoxors [25]

if a volume of air is warmed it expands due to increased translational kinetic energy as it expands it will start to cool.

<h3>When does temperature increase volume?</h3>

We can then conclude that at constant pressure, temperature and volume are directly proportional: temperature increases, volume increases; decrease temperature, decrease volume.

In this case, the higher the temperature, the greater the kinetic energy that acts on the molecules of this gas, so when the gas expands, these molecules find more space and collide less, which will cause the gas to cool.

How does the direction of acceleration compare with the direction of the net force that produces it
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

The direction of the acceleration is in the same direction as the net force causing it.  F = ma is actually a vector equation in which f and a are both vectors and m is a scalar constant.
