Why does 30 kg mass at the top of a hill have more potential energy?

So when it comes to Gravitational Potential Energy the higher an object of mass is the more energy it has as the equation for EPG is = MGH so the M is Mass of the object , the G is the gravitational constant which on earth is roughly 9.8 m/s and the H is the height of the object. So the greater the H value is the more energy you'll have. An example would be using your 30kg mass say at a height of 10 meters would have the EPG of 2940 Joules of energy since EPG= MGH so EPG= (30)(9.8)(10) . Now if the object was at a height of 20 meters the EPG would be greater as EPG=(30)(9.8)(20) which would be 5880 joules of energy

When an airplane is sitting on the ramp, which of Newton's Laws does it exhibit?
antiseptic1488 [7]
It shows the first law of Newton.

The first law states that :-

'If an object is at rest it will be at rest or if it is at motion, it will be in the state of motion until an external force is applied'

Since the airplane is at rest, it will be at rest showing the first law

Consider two balls on a horizontal, frictionless surface. Ball A (with mass ma) is moving toward ball B (with mass mb = 1 kg). B
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

Explanation:

When two ball of identical mass collides perfectly elastically , there is exchange of velocity between the two balls .

Here ball be was at rest initially . After collision ball A comes to rest , so there is complete exchange of velocity . Hence ball A must have same mass as that of B . mass of ball A = 1 kg .

b ) Due to complete exchange of velocity , velocity of ball A will be picked up by ball B . Hence velocity of ball B = 3.1416 m /s . Yes it will be moving in the direction of ball A .

c )

In case of perfectly inelastic collision they will become  single mass

total mass = 2 kg

applying conservation of momentum law

their common velocity after collision = 1 x 3.1416 / 2 = 1.57 m /s

d )

Applying conservation of momentum law

initial momentum = Ma x va

they move in opposite direction after collision

their total momentum after collision

1 x va - Ma va

applying law of conservation of momentum

1 x va - Ma va  = Ma va

va = 2Ma va

Ma = .5 kg .

An alternating-current (AC) source supplies a sinusoidally varying voltage that can be described with the function v of t is equ
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

ω, the angular frequency of the source equals 377 rad/s

Explanation:

From the question, V(t) = V cosωt.

Now, ω = the angular frequency of the sinusoidal wave is given by

ω = 2πf where f = the frequency of the source = 60 Hz

So, the angular frequency of the source ,ω = 2π × the frequency of the source.

So, ω = 2πf

ω = 2π × 60 Hz

ω = 120π rad/s

ω = 376.99 rad/s

ω ≅ 377 rad/s

So, ω, the angular frequency of the source equals 377 rad/s

An capacitor consists of two large parallel plates of area A separated by a very small distance d. This capacitor is connected t
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

Will be doubled.

Explanation:

For a capacitor of parallel plates of area A, separated by a distance d, such that the charges in the plates are Q and -Q, the capacitance is written as:

C = \frac{Q}{V}  = e_0\frac{A}{d}

where e₀ is a constant, the electric permittivity.

Now we can isolate V, the potential difference between the plates as:

V = \frac{Q}{e_0} *\frac{d}{A}

Now, notice that the separation between the plates is in the numerator.

Thus, if we double the distance we will get a new potential difference V', such that:

V' = \frac{Q}{e_0} *\frac{2d}{A} = 2*( \frac{Q}{e_0} *\frac{d}{A}) = 2*V\\V' = 2*V

So, if we double the distance between the plates, the potential difference will also be doubled.
