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

The length of a certain wire is kept same while its radius is doubled. what is the new resistivity of this wire?

anastassius [24]

The text does not specify whether the resistance R of the wire must be kept the same or not: here I assume R must be kept the same.

The relationship between the resistance and the resistivity of a wire is
$\rho = \frac{AR}{L}$
where
$\rho$ is the resistivity
A is the cross-sectional area
R is the resistance
L is the wire length

the cross-sectional area is given by
$A=\pi r^2$
where r is the radius of the wire. Substituting in the previous equation ,we find
$\rho = \frac{\pi r^2 R}{L}$

For the new wire, the length L is kept the same (L'=L) while the radius is doubled (r'=2r), so the new resistivity is
$\rho' = \frac{\pi r'^2 R}{L'}= \frac{\pi (2r)^2 R}{L}=4 \frac{\pi r^2 R}{L} = 4 \rho$
Therefore, the new resistivity must be 4 times the original one.

Identify which one is chemical change, chemical property,physical change and physical property

Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

Heat conductivity: Physical property

Silver tarnishing: chemical change

Sublimation: physical change

Magnetizing steel: physical property

Length of a metal object: physical property

Shortening melting: physical property

exploding dynamite: chemical change

combustible: chemical property

water freezing: physical change

Acid resistance: chemical property

brittleness: physical property

milk souring: chemical change

baking bread: chemical change

Explanation:

First you need to understand the differences between physical and chemical change; physical and chemical property.

<u>Physical properties vs chemical properties:</u>

Physical properties are properties that you can observe without changing the substance's composition. This means you can measure these properties without changing them chemically.

Chemical properties, on the other hand, are properties are not as direct. These properties are generally determined by the way the react with other substances changing their composition.

<u>Physical changes vs chemical changes:</u>

A substance that undergoes physical change does not change in chemical composition. They may look physically different in terms of size and shape, but overall, their chemical composition remains constant. The best example would be water. Water can change phases, from solid to liquid when they melt. Essentially, they look like different substances, but the change is only physical and not chemical.

Chemical change, is different by the fact that they change in chemical composition. Bonds are broken and/or made through the reaction, which changes them not only physically but chemically as well. Some of the most indicative signs of a chemical change occurring are: change in color, odor, production of gas, production of light/heat.

Light from a 560 nm monochromatic source is incident upon the surface of fused quartz (n=1. 56) at an angle of 60°. what is the

ankoles [38]

The angle of reflection is "60°".

Here we apply the law of the concept of reflection then we get the final answer easily.

The angle of incident = angle of reflection

Then, the Angle of the incident =60°

What is reflection?

Reflection is the phenomenon of light rays returning to the source after striking an obstruction.
It resembles the way a ball bounces when we toss it on a hard surface.
Some of the light rays that strike an item are reflected, some of them travel through it, and the remainder are absorbed by the object.
The given values are:Light from a monochromatic source,= 560 nm
The angle of incidence,= 60°
The surface of fused quartz (n),= 1.56
When a light ray does exist on a flat surface, the law or idea of reflection should apply since it includes both the reflected and "normal" light rays at the mirror surface.
According to the above law,Angle of incident = angle of reflection
Then, Angle of incident =60°.
