Natalie lifts a 15-kg rock from the ground onto a 1.5 meter high wall. what is the amount of potential energy she has given the

rock?
Physics

Zina [86]3 years ago

The amount of gravitational potential energy acquired by the rock is equal to:
\Delta U = mg \Delta h
where 
m is the mass of the rock
g is the gravitational acceleration
\Delta h is the increase in height of the rock

Substituting the data of the problem, we find
\Delta U=(15 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)(1.5 m)=220.7 J
So, Natalie gave 220.7 J of energy to the rock.

A bus is moving and has 500000 joules of kinetic energy. The brakes are applied and the bus stops. How much work is needed to st
Bad White [126]
For the work-energy theorem, the work needed to stop the bus is equal to its variation of kinetic energy:
W=K_f - K_i
where
W is the work
Kf is the final kinetic energy of the bus
Ki is the initial kinetic energy of the bus

Since the bus comes at rest, its final kinetic energy is zero: K_f = 0, so the work done by the brakes to stop the bus is
W=-K_i = -500000 J
And the work done is negative, because the force applied by the brake is in the opposite direction to that of the bus motion.

Find the value of F1 + F2 + F3.<br>​
Dovator [93]

Answer:

F = 0.78[N]

Explanation:

The given values correspond to forces, we must remember or take into account that the forces are vector quantities, that is, they have magnitude and direction. Since we have two X-Y coordinate axes (two-dimensional), we are going to decompose each of the forces into the X & y components.

<u>For F₁</u>

<u />F_{y}=2[N]<u />

<u>For F₂</u>

F_{x}=2*cos(60)\\F_{x}=1[N]\\F_{y}=-2*sin(60)\\F_{y}=-1.73[N]

<u>For F₃</u>

<u />F_{x}=-1*sin(60)\\F_{x}=-0.866[N]\\F_{y}=1*cos(60)\\F_{y}=0.5 [N]<u />

Now we can sum each one of the forces in the given axes:

F_{x}=1-0.866=0.134[N]\\F_{y}=2-1.73+0.5\\F_{y}=0.77[N]

Now using the Pythagorean theorem we can find the total force.

F=\sqrt{(0.134)^{2} +(0.77)^{2}}\\F= 0.78[N]

What is evaporation? Condensation? Drag the terms on the left to the appropriate blanks on the right to complete the sentences.
krok68 [10]

Answer:

Evaporation is the physical change in which a substance converts from its <u>liquid</u> state to its <u>gaseous</u> state. Condensation is the physical change in which a substance converts from its <u>gaseous</u> state to its <u>liquid</u> state.

Explanation:

Evaporation and condensation are opposite processes to each other. Evaporation changes a liquid to a gas and condensation is the reverse.

Suppose a sound wave and an electromagnetic wave have the same frequency. Which has the longer wavelength? 1. the electromagneti
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

1. the electromagnetic wave.

Explanation:

Mathematically,

wavelength = velocity ÷ frequency

A mechanical wave is a wave that is not capable of transmitting its energy through a vacuum. Mechanical waves require a medium in order to transport their energy from one location to another. A sound wave is an example of a mechanical wave. Sound waves are incapable of traveling through a vacuum.

Electromagnetic waves of different frequency are called by different names since they have different sources and effects on matter, increasing frequency decreases wavelength.

Sound waves (which obviously travel at the speed of sound) are much slower than electromagnetic waves (which travel at the speed of light.)  

Electromagnetic waves are much faster than sound waves and If the Velocity of the wave increases and the frequency is constant, the wavelength also increases.
