Calculate the potential energy of a 4 kg cat crouched 3 meters off the ground

Physics
1 answer:
NeTakaya4 years ago
5 0

Gravitational potential energy = (mass) x (gravity) x (height)


GPE = (4 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) x (3 m)


GPE = (4 x 9.8 x 3) kg-m²/s²


GPE = 117.6 Joules

A crate which has a mass of m1 = 125kg is sitting on an icy surface. A rope is attached to the crate and held at angle theta 28.
devlian [24]

Answer:

μ = 0.109

Explanation:

Draw a free body diagram of the crate.  There are four forces:

Weight force mg pulling down.

Normal force N pushing up.

Applied force P pulling at θ above the horizontal.

Friction force Nμ pushing to the left.

Sum of the forces in the y direction:

∑F = ma

N + P sin θ − mg = 0

N = mg − P sin θ

Sum of the forces in the x direction:

∑F = ma

P cos θ − Nμ = ma

P cos θ − ma = Nμ

μ = (P cos θ − ma) / N

μ = (P cos θ − ma) / (mg − P sin θ)

Given:

P = 585 N

θ = 28.0°

m = 125 kg

a = 3.30 m/s²

μ = (585 cos 28.0° − 125 kg × 3.30 m/s²) / (125 kg × 9.8 m/s² − 585 sin 28.0°)

μ = 0.109

In a cyclotron, the orbital radius of protons with energy 300 keV is 16.0 cm . You are redesigning the cyclotron to be used inst
Archy [21]

Answer:

16 cm

Explanation:

For protons:

Energy, E = 300 keV

radius of orbit, r1 = 16 cm

the relation for the energy and velocity is given by

E = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}

So, v = \sqrt{\frac{2E}{m}}   .... (1)

Now,

r = \frac{mv}{Bq}

Substitute the value of v from equation (1), we get

r = \frac{\sqrt{2mE}}{Bq}

Let the radius of the alpha particle is r2.

For proton

So, r_{1} = \frac{\sqrt{2m_{1}E}}{Bq_{1}}    ... (2)

Where, m1 is the mass of proton, q1 is the charge of proton

For alpha particle

So, r_{2} = \frac{\sqrt{2m_{2}E}}{Bq_{2}}    ... (3)

Where, m2 is the mass of alpha particle, q2 is the charge of alpha particle

Divide equation (2) by equation (3), we get

\frac{r_{1}}{r_{2}}=\frac{q_{2}}{q_{1}}\times \sqrt{\frac{m_{1}}{m_{2}}}

q1 = q

q2 = 2q

m1 = m

m2 = 4m

By substituting the values

\frac{r_{1}}{r_{2}}=\frac{2q}}{q}}\times \sqrt{\frac{m}}{4m}}=1

So, r2 = r1 = 16 cm

Thus, the radius of the alpha particle is 16 cm.

1) Halving the distance (i.s., decreasing by a factor of two) between two charged objects will cause the electrical force betwee
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

Explanation:

For an electric force, F the formula:

F = kQq/r^2

Given:

r2 = 1/2 × r1

F1 × r1 = k

F1 × r1 = F2 × r2

F2 = (F1 × r1^2)/(0.5 × r1)^2

= (F1 × r1^2)/0.25r1^2

= 4 × F1.
