Given data:

Mass of oyster (m) = 25 g,

= 0.025 kg ( since 1 Kg = 1000 g)

Height of oyster (h) = 11 m,

determine gravitational potential energy (GPE) = ?

Gravitational potential energy is energy of an object possesses because of its position on the earth. The amount of gravitational potential energy of an object on earth depends on its mass and height from the earth.

Mathematically,

GPE = m. g. h Joules

Where,

GPE = gravitational potential energy,

m = mass of object in Kg,

g = gravitational force in m/s², g = 9.8 m/s²

h = height of the object in meters,

Now substituting all the values in the equation GPE

GPE = 0.025 Kg × 9.8 m/s² × 11 m

= 2.695 J

Gravitational potential energy of the oyster is 2.695 J

If an electric current of 8.50 A flows for 3.75 hours through an electrolytic cell containing copper-sulfate (CuSO4) solution, t

muminat

Answer:

75.5g

Explanation:

From the ionic equation, we can write

$CU^{2+}+SO^{2-}_{4}\\$

next we find the number of charge

Note Q=it

for i=8.5A, t=3.75 to secs 3.75*60*60=13500secs

hence

$Q=8.5*13500\\Q=114750C$

Since one faraday represent one mole of electron which equal 96500C

Hence the number of mole produced by 114750C is

114750/96500=1.2mol

The mass of copper produced is

$mol=\frac{mass}{molar mass} \\mass=mole*molar mass\\mass=1.2*63.5\\mass=75.5g$

Hence the amount of copper produced is 75.5g

An 80-cm uniform 10-kg bar is resting on two scales, one at either end. A smaller 4-kg mass (m) is placed at a distance of d = 2

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer

given,

length of bar = 80 cm

mass of the bar = 10 kg

smaller mass = 4 kg

distance = 20 cm

$s_1 + s_2 = 10 + 4$

$s_1 + s_2 = 14\ kg$

taking moment about B

$s_1 \times 0.8 - 10 \times 0.4 - 4 \times 0.6 = 0$

$s_1 \times 0.8 = 6.4$

$s_1 = 8\ N$

$s_2 = 14 - s_1$

$s_2 = 14 - 8$

$s_2 = 6 N$

difference between two scale = 8 - 6

= 2 N

A body is placed on a rough inclined plane. Why does the frictional force decrease with the increase of angle of inclination

kondor19780726 [428]

The frictional force is directly proportional to the force that is perpendicular on the surface.

When the body is placed on a horizontal level with zero inclination, the only force acting on the body is the gravitational force which always pulls the body down. The gravitational force, in this case, is the perpendicular force to the surface. Accordingly, this entire force is used to generate friction

Now as the inclination of the surface increases, the gravitational force is no longer the perpendicular force of the body, its value decreases, which means only a part is used to generate frictional force. Consequently, frictional force decreases.

When the inclination reaches 90 degrees, the gravitational force does not act along the normal and accordingly, no friction force is generated.
