A book weighs 0.5 kilograms on a book shelf that is 2 meters above the ground. What is the potential energy of the book relative

to the ground? (HINT: you may use 10 N/kg as the value for gravity)

Using the GPE=MGH, M=0.5 kg, G=9.8m/s H= 2 m multiply those all together and we will have 9.8 J (joules)

A ball is thrown straight up at 20 m. What is the balls velocity as it hits the ground?
deff fn [24]

Answer:

<em>The velocity of the ball as it hit the ground = 19.799 m/s</em>

Explanation:

Velocity: Velocity of a body can be defined as the rate of change of displacement of the body. The S.I unit of velocity is m/s. velocity is expressed in one of newtons equation of motion, and is given below.

v² = u² + 2gs.......................... Equation 1

Where v = the final velocity of the ball, g = acceleration due to gravity, s = the height of the ball

<em>Given: s = 20 m, u = 0 m/s</em>

<em>Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²</em>

<em>Substituting these values into equation 1,</em>

<em>v² = 0 + 2×9.8×20</em>

<em>v² = 392</em>

<em>v = √392</em>

<em>v = 19.799 m/s.</em>

<em>Therefore the velocity of the ball as it hit the ground = 19.799 m/s</em>

A 2.0-mm-long, 1.0-mmmm-diameter wire has a variable resistivity given by rho(x)=(2.5×10−6)[1+(x1.0m)2]Ωmrho(x)=(2.5×10−6)[1+(x1
Tresset [83]

Answer:

1.144 A

Explanation:

given that;

the length of the wire = 2.0 mm

the diameter of the wire = 1.0 mm

the variable resistivity R = \rho (x) =(2.5*10^{-6})[1+(\frac{x}{1.0 \ m})^2]

Voltage of the battery = 17.0 v

Now; the resistivity of the variable (dR) can be expressed as = \frac{\rho dx}{A}

dR = \frac{(2.5*10^{-6})[1+(\frac{x}{1.0})^2]}{\frac{\pi}{4}(10^{-3})^2}

Taking the integral of both sides;we have:

\int\limits^R_0  dR = \int\limits^2_0 3.185 \ [1+x^2] \ dx

R = 3.185 [x + \frac {x^3}{3}}]^2__0

R = 3.185 [2 + \frac {2^3}{3}}]

R = 14.863 Ω

Since V = IR

I = \frac{V}{R}

I = \frac{17}{14.863}

I = 1.144 A

∴  the current if this wire if it is connected to the terminals of a 17.0V battery = 1.144 A

If the Sun and volcanoes were controlling the climate, the climate would
Harman [31]

Answer:

<em>Undergo global warming at a faster rate than what we are seeing currently</em>

Explanation:

Climate can be described as the average weather of a place. The climate of a particular place can be described after looking at the temperature of the place for a year or more.

If factors, such as the Sun and volcanoes controlled climates then there would be an increase in the temperature and more global warming. Volcanoes can be described as heat erupting from mountains which will, of course, lead to global warming.

A box of unknown mass is sliding with an initial speed vi = 5.60 m/s across a horizontal frictionless warehouse floor when it en
Maksim231197 [3]

We know that the Delta E + W(Work done by non-conservative forces) = 0 (change of energy)

In here, the non-conservative force is the friction force where f = uN (u =kinetic friction coefficient) 

W= f x d = uNd ; N=mg 
Delta E = 1/2 mV^2 -1/2mVi^2 

umgd + 1/2mV^2 - 1/2mVi^2 = 0 (cancel out the m term) 

This will then give us: 

1/2Vi^2-ugd = 1/2V^2 

V^2 = Vi^2 - 2ugd

So plugging in our values, will give us:

V= Sqrt (5.6^2 -2.3^2)

=sqrt (26.07)

= 5.11 m/s

in the diagram the solid eventually becomes a gas what will happen to bring the substance from a solid to a gas
Ratling [72]
Since there is no diagram I can see to prove my answer, I must infer that a heat source should be applied to the solid substance and cause the atoms in the solid to spread further apart and become a different state, in which atoms will be able to freely move, gas.
