When an object is above the Earth's surface it has gravitational potential energy (GPE). The amount of GPE an object has depends on its mass and its height above the Earth's surface.
The weight of an object is the size of the force of gravity pulling the object down. When an object falls it transfers GPE to KE (kinetic energy).

A ball held 2.0 meters above the floor has 59 joules of potential energy the bald mass is about
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

Mass of ball = 3.0102 Kg.

Explanation:

Potential energy at height h is given by

PE = mgh

where m is the mass of the body

g is the the acceleration due to gravity whose value is 9.8 m/s^2

h is the height from surface level

PE is potential energy

In the problem given h = 2 meters

PE = 59 joules

59 = m*9.8*2

=> m = 59/9.8*2 = 3.0102 Kg

Thus, mass of ball is 3.0102 Kg.

A uniform narrow tube 1.90 m long is open at both ends. It resonates at two successive harmonics of frequencies 280 Hz and 294 H
Over [174]

Answer:

a)14Hz

b)26.6m/s

Explanation:

a)we were given

the first harmonics frequencies as 280 Hz

The second harmonic frequency as 294 Hz.

The fundamental frequency is equal to the gap which means the distance that exist between the harmonics, then

the fundamental frequency=(294 - 280 = 10 Hz)

= 14Hz

b) We know the frequency and the wavelength of the sound wave (

We were told that the wavelength must be twice the length of the tube then, velocity can be calculated as

And fundamental frequency= 14Hz, and distance of 1.90 m then

v = f*2L = (14Hz)*2*(1.90 m) = 26.6m/s

Therefore, the speed of sound in the gas in the tubes is 26.6m/s

A boat radioed a distress call to a Coast Guard station. At the time of the call, a vector A from the station to the boat had a
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

d = 39.7 km

Explanation:

initial position of the boat is 45 km away at an angle of 15 degree East of North

so we will have

r_1 = 45 sin15 \hat i + 45 cos15 \hat j

r_1 = 11.64 \hat i + 43.46\hat j

after some time the final position of the boat is found at 30 km at 15 Degree North of East

so we have

r_2 = 30 cos15\hat i + 30 sin15 \hat j

r_2 = 28.98\hat i + 7.76 \hat j

now the displacement of the boat is given as

d = r_2 - r_1

d = (28.98\hat i + 7.76 \hat j) - (11.64 \hat i + 43.46\hat j)

d = 17.34 \hat i - 35.7 \hat j

so the magnitude is given as

d = \sqrt{17.34^2 + 35.7^2}

d = 39.7 km

In the Earth's mantle, heat is transferred in large convection currents. Within these currents,
liq [111]

A.cooler and hotter rock rise but do not sink.

B.hotter and cooler rock sink but do not rise.

C.hotter rock rises and cooler rock sinks.

D.cooler rock rises and hotter rock sinks.

hotter rock rises and cooler rock sinks.

Answer: Option C.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The process that happens inside the surface of earth makes the rocks inside the surface to either expand or shrink in size because of the presence of heat inside the surface.

Heat rises and as the warmer rock gets further away from the super heated center of the Earth it begins to cool off and starts to sink back toward the super heated center of the Earth where it is reheated and the whole process starts over again. That is what a convection current is.
