Answer:

Change in potential energy is 700.7 J.

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the object is, $m=286$ kg

Height to which the object is raised above his head, $h=0.25$ m

Acceleration due to gravity is, $g=9.8$ m/s²

We know that for a mass $m$ raised to a height $h$ , the change in potential energy is given as:

$\Delta PE=mgh$ , where, $\Delta PE\rightarrow \textrm{Change in Potential Energy}$

Now, plug in the given values and solve.

$\Delta PE=286\times 9.8\times 0.25=700.7\textrm{ J}$

Therefore, the change in the potential energy is 700.7 J.

Answer: Relative motion

Explanation: If two objects are moving either towards or away from each other with both having their velocities in a reference frame and someone is outside this reference frame seeing the motion of the two objects.

The observer ( in his own frame of reference) will measure a different velocity as opposed to the velocities of the two object in their own reference frame. p

Both the velocity measured by the observer in his own reference frame and the velocity of both object in their reference is correct.

Velocities of this nature that have varying values based on motion referenced to another body is known as relative velocity.

Motion of this nature is known as relative motion.

Note that the word reference frame is simply any where the motion is occurring and the specified laws of motion is valid

For this example of ours, the reference frame of the companion is the train and the telephone poles has their reference frame as the earth.

The companion will measure the velocity of the telephone poles relative to him and the velocity of the telephone pole relative to an observer outside the train will be of a different value.

Assume a reaction takes 7.5 moles of anhydrous calcium chloride and energy transfer occurs, which we record as 21.2 joules of en

OLga [1]

Answer: 2.83 J/mol

Explanation:

Heat of solution, sometimes interchangeably called enthalpy of solution, is said to be the energy released or absorbed when the solute dissolves in the solvent. A solute is that which can dissolve in a solvent, to form a solution

Given

No of moles of CaCl = 7.5 mol

Total energy used = 21.2 J

Heat of solution = q/n where

q = total energy

n = number of moles

Heat of solution = 21.2 / 7.5

Heat of solution = 2.83 J/mol

Here, mA = 3.65 kg and mB = 7.05 kg. The string connecting the two objects is of negligible mass and the pulley is frictionless.

Answer:

The magintude of the acceleration for both objects is $3.11m/s^2$

Explanation:

Drawing a free body diagram on the two boxes we can analyze the system more easily.

we can take the acceleration going up as positive for reference purposes.

for mA let's suppose that is ascending so:

$T_A-m_A*g=m_A*a$

and for mB (descending):

$T_B-m_B*g=-m_B*a$

$T_A=T_B$

because the two boxes has the same acceleration because they are attached together:

$m_B*g-m_B*a-m_a*g=m_a*a\\(m_B-m_A)*g=(m_a+m_B)*a\\a=\frac{(7.05kg-3.65kg)*9.8m/s^2}{3.65kg+7.05kg}\\\\a=3.11m/s^2$

So the magintude of the acceleration for both objects is $3.11m/s^2$

Two +1 C charges are separated by 30000 m, what is the magnitude of the force?

Kipish [7]

Answer:

The magnitude of the force is 10 N

Explanation:

Coulomb's Law

The electrostatic force between two charged objects is directly proportional to the product of their charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the two objects.

Written as a formula:

$\displaystyle F=k\frac{q_1q_2}{d^2}$
