Answer:

P.E.=29.4Nm

Explanation:

given data

m=1kg

h=3m

g=9.8m/s²

to find

gravitational potential energy=P.E.=?

solution

P.E.=mgh

PUTTING VALUES

P.E.=1kg×9.8m/s²×3m

P.E.=29.4Nm

Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

L= 12 light years

Explanation:

for length dilation we use the formula

$L=L_0\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2} }$

now calculating Lo

Lo = 12.5×365×24×3600×3×10^8

= 1.183×10^17 m

now putting the values of v and Lo in the above equation we get

$L=1.183\times10^{17}\sqrt{1-\frac{0.28c^2}{c^2} }$

= 1.136×10^17 m

L= $= \frac{1.136\times10^{17}}{365\times24\times3600\times3\times10^8}$ m

so L= 12 light years

At what speed do a bicycle and its rider, with a combined mass of 100 kg , have the same momentum as a 1600 kg car traveling at

noname [10]

$Given:\\m_b=100kg\\m_c=1600kg\\v_c=5.2 \frac{m}{s} \\p_b=p_c\\\\Find:\\v_b=?\\\\Solution:\\\\p_b=p_c\\\\p=mv\\\\m_bv_b=m_cv_c\Rightarrow v_b= \frac{m_cv_c}{m_b} \\\\v_b= \frac{1600kg\cdot5.2 \frac{m}{s} }{100kg} =83.2 \frac{m}{s}$

A convex security mirror has a radius of curvature of 12.0 cm. What is the magnification of a pare 3.0 m from the mirror?

Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

magnification will be -0.025

Explanation:

We have given the radius of curvature = 12 cm

And object distance = 3 m

So focal length $f=\frac{R}{2}=\frac{12}{2}=6cm$

Now for mirror we know that $\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{u}+\frac{1}{v}$

So $\frac{1}{0.06}=\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{v}$

$16.66-0.333=\frac{1}{v}$

v = 0.750 m

Now magnification of the mirror is $m=\frac{-v}{u}=\frac{-0.750}{3}=-0.025$

What is electricity

fgiga [73]

Electricity is a form of energy. Electricity is the flow of electrons. All matter is made up of atoms, and an atom has a center, called a nucleus. The negative charge of an electron is equal to the positive charge of a proton, and the number of electrons in an atom is usually equal to the number of protons. Hope this helped. ;)
