Which object has the most gravitational potential energy?

Kipish [7]

Answer: An 8 kg book at a height of 3 m has the most gravitational potential energy.

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy is the product of mass of object, height of object and gravitational field.

So, formula to calculate gravitational potential energy is as follows.

U = mgh

where,

m = mass of object

g = gravitational field = $9.81 m/s^{2}$

h = height of object

(A) m = 5 kg and h = 2m

Therefore, its gravitational potential energy is calculated as follows.

$U = mgh\\= 5 kg \times 9.81 m/s^{2} \times 2 m\\= 98.1 J (1 J = kg m^{2}/s^{2})$

(B) m = 8 kg and h = 2 m

Therefore, its gravitational potential energy is calculated as follows.

$U = mgh\\= 8 kg \times 9.81 m/s^{2} \times 2 m\\= 156.96 J (1 J = kg m^{2}/s^{2})$

(C) m = 8 kg and h = 3 m

Therefore, its gravitational potential energy is calculated as follows.

$U = mgh\\= 8 kg \times 9.81 m/s^{2} \times 3 m\\= 235.44 J (1 J = kg m^{2}/s^{2})$

(D) m = 5 kg and h = 3 m

Therefore, its gravitational potential energy is calculated as follows.

$U = mgh\\= 5 kg \times 9.81 m/s^{2} \times 3 m\\= 147.15 J (1 J = kg m^{2}/s^{2})$

Thus, we can conclude that an 8 kg book at a height of 3 m has the most gravitational potential energy.

Which particle is most likely to interact with your hand? Select one: a. Alpha particle b. Beta particle c. Gamma particle d. Ne

IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

The correct option is a

Explanation:

The alpha particle has the lowest penetrating power of the trio of alpha, beta and gamma particles and can be stopped by a sheet of paper and hence cannot penetrate a human skin. Beta particle has a higher penetrating power than alpha particle (some of it penetrates the human skin and some do not) while the gamma particle has the highest penetrating power (with all of it penetrating the human skin).

From the above description, it can be deduced that the alpha particle will stay and interact with the hand (because of its low penetrating power) as the remaining particles move through the skin.

A ship maneuvers to within 2.46×10³ m of an island’s 1.80 × 10³ m high mountain peak and fires a projectile at an enemy ship 6.1

Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

The distance close to the peak is 597.4 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance of the first ship from the mountain $d=2.46\times10^{3}\ m$

Height of island $h=1.80\times10^{3}\ m$

Distance of the enemy ship from the mountain $d'=6.10\times10^{2}\ m$

Initial velocity $v=2.55\times10^{2}\ m/s$

Angle = 74.9°

We need to calculate the horizontal component of initial velocity

Using formula of horizontal component

$v_{x}=v\cos\theta$

Put the value into the formula

$v_{x}=2.55\times10^{2}\cos74.9$

$v_{x}=66.42\ m/s$

We need to calculate the vertical component of initial velocity

Using formula of vertical component

$v_{y}=v\sin\theta$

Put the value into the formula

$v_{y}=2.55\times10^{2}\sin74.9$

$v_{y}=246.19\ m/s$

We need to calculate the time

Using formula of time

$t=\dfrac{d}{v_{x}}$

$t=\dfrac{2.46\times10^{3}}{66.42}$

$t=37.03\ sec$

We need to calculate the height of the shell on reaching the mountain

Using equation of motion

$H= v_{y}t-\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2$

Put the value in the equation

$H=246.19\times37.03-\dfrac{1}{2}\times9.8\times(37.03)^2$

$H=2397.4\ m$

We need to calculate the distance close to the peak

Using formula of distance

$H'=H-h$

Put the value into the formula

$H'=2397.4-1800$

$H'=597.4\ m$

Hence, The distance close to the peak is 597.4 m.

Compare tidal range to spring tide

makkiz [27]

Spring tides have higher high tides and lower low tides whereas neap tides have lower high tides and higher low tides. Hence, the range is much larger in a spring tide than in a low tide.

The half-life of a certain isotope is 15 minutes. How much of a 400 g sample will remain after 90 minutes?12.5 g6.25 g26.7 g66.7

Virty [35]

There is a total of 6 half lives that need to take place.

ONE HALF LIFE = 200

TWO HALF LIFES = 100

THREE HALF LIFES = 50

FOUR HALF LIFES = 25

FIVE HALF LIFES = 12.5

SIX HALF LIFES = 6.25

The answer is 6.25g
