Answer:
1960Joules
Explanation:
Since we are not told what too find, we can as well find the Gravitational Potential Energy.
GPE = mass * acceleration due to gravity * height
GPE = 100*9.8 * 2
GPE = 980*2
GPE = 1960Joules
Hence the gravitational potential Energy is 1960Joules
Answer:
166 666 666.7 years
Explanation:
We start the question by making the units uniform. We are told that the continents move at 3 cm/year = 0.03 m/year.
We are also told that the continents are now 5000 km = 5 000 000 m apart
So to calculate the time it took for them to be this far apart
t = distance/speed
t = 5 000 000 m/(0.03 m/year) = 166 666 666.7 years
Answer:
PE = (|accepted value – experimental value| \ accepted value) x 100%
Explanation:
1. All the relevant resistors are in series, so the total (or equivalent) resistance is the sum of the resistances of the resistors: 20 Ω + 80 Ω + 50 Ω = 150 Ω [choice A].
2. The ammeter will read the current flowing through this circuit. We can find the ammeter reading using Ohm's law in terms of the electromotive force provided by the battery: I = ℰ/R = (30 V)(150 Ω) = 0.20 A [choice C].
3. The voltmeter will measure the potential drop across the 50 Ω resistor, i.e., the voltage at that resistor. We know from question 2 that the current flowing through the resistor is 0.20 A. So, from Ohm's law, V = IR = (0.20 A)(50 Ω) = 10. V, which will be the voltmeter reading [choice F].
4. Trick question? If the circuit becomes open, then no current will flow. Moreover, even if the voltmeter were kept as element of the circuit, voltmeters generally have a very high resistance (an ideal voltmeter has infinite resistance), so the current moving through the circuit will be negligible if not nil. In any case, the ammeter reading would be 0 A [choice B].
