Two objects, with different masses, have a gravitational potential energy of 100 J each; they are released from rest and fall to

the ground. Both objects were released from the same height.
Is this statement True or False?

The statement can't be true. Objects with different masses held at the same height don't have the same gravitational potential energy.

The eiffel tower is a steel structure whose height increases by 19.5 cm when the temperature changes from −8 to +42 °c. what is

Readme [11.4K]

The coefficient of expansion is 13 * 10^-6 m per meter length.per oK
The temperature difference = 42 - - 8 = 50 oC
delta T = (42 + 273) - (-8 + 273) = 50 oK
delta L = L * 13* 10^6 m/oK
oK = 50 oK delta L = 19.5 cm = 19.5 cm [1m / 100 cm] = 0.195m
So we need to find the length and it is computed by:
0.195= L * 13 * 10^-6 * 50 L = 0.195 / (13*10^-6*50) L = 300 m

A boat moves through the water of a river at 10m/s relative to the water, regardless of the boat ‘s direction . If the water in

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

The appropriate solution is "61.37 s".

Explanation:

The given values are:

Boat moves,

= 10 m/s

Water flowing,

= 1.50 m/s

Displacement,

d = 300 m

Now,

The boat is travelling,

= $10+1.50$

= $11.5 \ m/s$

Travelling such distance for 300 m will be:

⇒ $v = \frac{d}{t} \ sot \ t$

$=\frac{d}{v}$

On putting the values, we get

$=\frac{300}{11.5}$

$=26.08 \ s$

Throughout the opposite direction, when the boat seems to be travelling then,

= $10-1.50$

= $8.5 \ m/s$

Travelling such distance for 300 m will be:

⇒ $v=\frac{v}{t} \ sot \ t$

$=\frac{d}{v}$

On putting the values, we get

$=\frac{300}{8.5}$

$=35.29 \ s$

hence,

The time taken by the boat will be:

= $26.08+35.29$

= $61.37 \ s$

A person walks first at a constant speed of 5.50 m/s along a straight line from point A to point B and then back along the line

Sav [38]

Answer:

4.25 m/s

Explanation:

They walked the first distance at 5.50 m/s, then the same distance at 3 m/s.

Since the distances are equal, the average speed is simply the average of 5.50 and 3.

(5.50 + 3) / 2 = 4.25

Her average speed over the entire trip is 4.25 m/s.

Answer:

Chemical change

Explanation:

A chemical change is what happens. The food digested changes smell due to some enzyme the has acted on the food which catalyzes the rate of digestion. The enzymes acts on the food in order to speed up the rate of the reaction (digestion) and in turn causing the smell.

A 11 g plastic ball is moving to the left at 29 m/s. How much work must be done on the ball to cause it to move to the right at

Rasek [7]

Answer:

4.25 J

Explanation:

Given that

mass of plastic ball = 11 g

Mass of plastic ball = 0.011 kg

velocity of ball = 29 m/s

We know that from work power energy theorem

$W_{all}=Change\ in\ kinetic\ energy\ of\ system$

We know that kinetic energy of moving mass given as

$KE=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2$

Now by pitting the values

$KE=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2$

$KE=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 0.011\times 29^2$

KE= 4.25 J

So the work done on the ball is 4.25 J
