A 5kg cat is lifted 2m into the air. How much GPE does it gain

Physics
1 answer:
luda_lava [24]4 years ago
5 0

m = mass of the cat being lifted = 5 kg

h = height to which the cat is raised into air = 2 m

g = acceleration due to gravity of earth = 9.8 m/s²

U = gravitational potential energy gained by the cat

Gravitational potential energy gained by the cat is given as

U = m g h

inserting the values in the above equation

U = (5 kg) (9.8 m/s²) (2 m)

U = (5 x 9.8 x 2) (kg m²/s²)

U = 98 J

What is the internal resistance of a 12.0 V car battery whose terminal voltage drops to 8.2 V when the starter draws 75 A
jonny [76]

Answer:

The internal resistance of the cell is 0.051 ohm.

Explanation:

Given;

emf of the battery, E = 12 V

terminal voltage of the cell, V = 8.2 V

current in the circuit, I = 75 A

let the potential drop of the cell due to internal resistance (r) = Ir

The internal resistance of the cell is calculated from the equation below;

E = V + Ir

where;

r is the internal resistance of the cell

Ir = E - V\\\\r = \frac{E-V}{I} \\\\r = \frac{12-8.2}{75} \\\\r = 0.051 \ ohm

Therefore, the internal resistance of the cell is 0.051 ohm.

A particular coaxial cable is comprised of inner and outer conductors having radii 1 mm and 3 mm respectively, separated by air.
noname [10]

Answer:

The value is  \rho_s  =  4.026 *10^{-6} \  C/m^2

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The radius of the inner conductor  is  r_1 = 1 \ mm =  0.001 \ m

    The radius of the outer conductor is  r_2 = 3 \ mm = 0.003 \  m

    The potential at the outer conductor is  V = 1.5 kV  =  1.5 *10^{3} \  V

Generally the capacitance per length of the capacitor like set up of the two conductors is

      C= \frac{2 * \pi * \epsilon_o }{ ln [\frac{r_2}{r_1} ]}

Here \epsilon_o is the permitivity of free space with value  \epsilon_o =  8.85*10^{-12} C/(V \cdot m)

=>   C= \frac{2 *  3.142  * 8.85*10^{-12}  }{ ln [\frac{0.003}{0.001} ]}

=>   C= 50.6 *10^{-12} \  F/m

Generally given that the potential  of the outer conductor with respect to the inner conductor is positive it then mean that the outer conductor is positively charge

Generally the line  charge density of the outer  conductor is mathematically represented as

      \rho_l  =  C *  V

=>   \rho_d  =  50.6*10^{-12} *  1.5*10^{3}

=>   \rho_d  =  7.59*10^{-8} \  C/m

Generally the surface charge density is mathematically represented as

        \rho_s  =  \frac{\rho_l }{2 \pi * r_2 }    here 2 \pi r = (circumference \ of \ outer \  conductor  )

=>    \rho_s  =  \frac{7.59 *10^{-8} }{2* 3.142 * 0.003 }

=>    \rho_s  =  4.026 *10^{-6} \  C/m^2

Which of the following statements about Copernicus' heliocentric model of the Solar System are accurate?
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

(i) It was the first such model was supported by scientific evidence: FALSE

(ii) It was not published until Copernicus was close to death: TRUE

(iii) It was the first time a heliocentric model had ever been suggested: FALSE

(iv) It was not controversial, and was readily accepted: FALSE

(v) It stated that the Sun revolved around the Earth: FALSE

(vi) It stated that the Earth revolved around the Sun: TRUE

Explanation:

We proceed to demonstrate the validity of each option from statement:

(i) It was the first such model was supported by scientific evidence: FALSE

The geocentric model was based mostly on interpretation of two astronomical findings: (a) The displacement of the stars with respect to Earth due to stellar parallax, (b) The apparent consistency of brightness of the planet Venus seen from Earth.

(ii) It was not published until Copernicus was close to death: TRUE

Copernicus published his heliocentric theory, contained in the book <em>De revolutionibus orbium coelestium,</em> months before his death, in 1543.

(iii) It was the first time a heliocentric model had ever been suggested: FALSE

Greek mathematician and astronomer Aristarchus of Samos was the first person who proposed the heliocentric model in the 4th Century.

(iv) It was not controversial, and was readily accepted: FALSE

The Roman Catholic Church defended geocentric model proposed by Claudius Ptolemy and Tycho Brahe and rejected the model proposed by Copernicus, whose publication was included in the <em>Index Librorum Prohibitorum</em> in 1616.

(v) It stated that the Sun revolved around the Earth: FALSE

This is the main idea of the geocentric model.

(vi) It stated that the Earth revolved around the Sun: TRUE

This is the main idea of the heliocentric model.
