How do you find the change in potential energy

Physics
1 answer:
ratelena [41]3 years ago
3 0

P.E = mgh

This is the formula for potential energy.

This is where m is mass, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and h is height.

All you have to do is multiply all these numbers together.

Boyles law<br> squeezing a balloon is one way to burst it. Why? ...?
KiRa [710]
According to Boyle's Law,  volume is inversely proportional to pressure. It means if the volume of a gas goes up the pressure goes down and if the volume of the gas goes up the pressure goes down. When the pressure of air inside the inflated balloon is more than the atmospheric pressure outside the balloon. And also when the density inside is greater than the density outside. The molecules inside the balloon move and bang around the inner walls which produces force, which provides the pressure of an enclosed air.

If you had 8 balls and 7 of them were a certain weight, and 1 of them was heavier, how could you find the heaviest ball. All the
dybincka [34]

Answer:

There are two method of comparing the balls 1) using a balance  2) by  only 2 weighings.

Explanation:

There are two method of comparing the balls 1) using a balance  2) by  only 2 weighings.

Make the following groups - --- (1,2,3),(4,5,6),(7,8)

Step 1. compare the Weigh (1,2,3) and (4,5,6)

there are 2 possible outcomes:

1---both the group are of same weight. and named as (Case A)

2--- one of the group is heavier than other and named as  (Case B)

Step 2. Let examine both case

In Case A --in this case, now compare the weight of 7th and 8th ball. By this you have recognize the heavier ball by 2 weighing method.

In Case B -- considered the heaviest group (assume group (1,2,3) is heavy), from this group take randomly two ball and compare the their weight. out of these two ball, one  is heavy else the third ball is.

Which of the following would have more momentum than fiona, a 313kg hippo, running at 8m/s?
kap26 [50]
Let's calculate the momentum of Fiona, given by the product between its mass and its speed:
p=mv=(313 kg)(8 m/s)=2504 kg m/s

Now let's compare it with the momentum of the other animals:
a) the mass of the sea turtle is missing, so we cannot calculate its momentum.
b) the momentum of the dolphin is 
p=mv=(150 kg)(18 m/s)=2700 kg m/s
c) the momentum of the horse is
p=mv=(380 kg)(4 m/s)=1520 kg m/s
d) the momentum of the lion is
p=mv=(190 kg)(11 m/s)=2090 m/s

And we can see that the correct answer is b), because the momentum of the dolphin is greater than the momentum of Fiona.
