You lower a 2.50 kg textbook (remember when textbooks used to be made out of paper instead of being digital?) from a height of 1

.85 m to 1.50 m. What is its change in potential energy?
Physics

Answer:

Change in potential energy = 8.58 J

Explanation:

Potential energy = Mass x Acceleration due to gravity x Height

Potential energy = mgh

m = 2.50 kg

g = 9.81 m/s²

Initial height, h₁ = 1.85 m

Final height, h₂ = 1.50 m

Change in potential energy = mgh₁  - mgh₂

Change in potential energy = 2.5 x 9.81 x 1.85 - 2.5 x 9.81 x 1.50

Change in potential energy = 8.58 J

Why do astronomers use the word on to describe angles on the sky rather than angles in the sky?
Sever21 [200]
<span>The use of the word on instead of the word in when referring to the angular distance between celestial objects comes about because all of the objects appear to be on the celestial sphere and at an indeterminable distance. While we know that objects are at different distances in the sky, their distance from Earth is irrelevant in determining the angular distance between the two objects as viewed from Earth.</span>

Wire sizes are often reported using the AWG (American Wire Gauge) system in which smaller diameter wires are said to be of highe
NISA [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

24 - gauge wire , diameter = .51 mm .

Resistivity of copper ρ = 1.72 x 10⁻⁸ ohm-m

R = ρ l / s

1.72x 10⁻⁸ / [3.14 x( .51/2)² x 10⁻⁶ ]

= 8.42 x 10⁻² ohm

= .084 ohm

B )  Current required through this wire

= 12 / .084 A

= 142.85 A

C )

Let required length be l

resistance = .084 l

2 = 12 / .084 l

l = 12 / (2 x .084)

= 71.42 m

Choose the correct statement concerning units of power or energy. a. A kilojoule (kJ) is a unit of power. b. A gigawatt (GW) is
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

A kilowatt (kW) is a unit of power.

Explanation:

The power of an object is given by :

P=\dfrac{E}{t}

Here,

E is the energy required

t is time

The SI unit of power is Watts and the SI unit of energy is Joule. the commercial unit of energy is kilowatt per hour.    

Option (1) :  A kilojoule (kJ) is a unit of power is incorrect.

Option (2) : A gigawatt (GW) is a unit of energy is incorrect.

Option (3) : A watt (W) is a unit of energy is incorrect.

Option (4) : A kilowatt x hour per year (kWh/yr) is a unit of energy is incorrect.

Option (4) : A kilowatt (kW) is a unit of power is correct.

Hence, the correct option is (d).

A woman and her dog are out for a morning run to the river, which is located 4.0 KM away. The woman runs at 2.5 M/S in a straigh
VLD [36.1K]

River shore is located at distance

d = 4 km

speed of the woman is given as

v_1 = 2.5 m/s

now the time taken by the woman to cover the distance is

t = \frac{d}{v}

t = \frac{4000}{2.5} = 1600 s

for the same time interval the dog will run to and fro with speed 4.5 m/s

so the total distance moved by the dog is given by

d = v* t

d = 4.5 * 1600

d = 7200 m

<em>so the total distance that dog will move is 7200 m or 7.2 km</em>
