We know that potential energy is simply energy due to position which has the formula:

PE = mass * gravity * height

We know that mass * gravity is weight, therefore:

PE = weight * height

27500 J = weight * 42 m

<span>weight = 654.76 Newtons</span>

d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:C

Explanation:

When a constant horizontal force is applied to the box, box started moving in the horizontal direction such that it moves with constant velocity v_0

Constant velocity implies that net force on the box is zero

i.e. there must be an opposing force which is equal to the applied force and friction force can serve that purpose.

So option c is the correct choice.

If the second harmonic of a certain string is 42 Hz, what is the fundamental frequency of the string?
sdas [7]
Data:
f_{2} = 42 Hz
n (Wave node)
V (Wave belly) 
L (Wave length)
<span>The number of bells is equal to the number of the harmonic emitted by the string.
</span>
f_{n} =  \frac{nV}{2L}

Wire 2 → 2º Harmonic → n = 2

f_{n} = \frac{nV}{2L}
f_{2} = \frac{2V}{2L} &#10;
2V =  f_{2} *2L
V =  \frac{ f_{2}*2L }{2}
V =  \frac{42*2L}{2}
V =  \frac{84L}{2}
V = 42L

Wire 1 → 1º Harmonic or Fundamental rope → n = 1


f_{n} = \frac{nV}{2L}
f_{1} = \frac{1V}{2L}
f_{1} =  \frac{V}{2L}

If, We have:
V = 42L
Soon:
f_{1} = \frac{V}{2L}
f_{1} = \frac{42L}{2L}
\boxed{f_{1} = 21 Hz}

Answer:

<span>The fundamental frequency of the string:
</span>21 Hz

How does the mass affect the speed as it rolls down a slope?
VikaD [51]
As we use the Kinetic energy and the equation is 1/2mv^2, changing its mass will change its speed and its energy. So more mass, more speed more energy. also the gravitational potential energy; mass x gravity x height; more mass and more height more speed as it go down to the slope! Hope it helps!
