A 1400 kg wrecking ball hangs from a 20-m-long cable. the ball is pulled back until the cable makes an angle of 30.0 ∘ with the

vertical.part aby how much has the gravitational potential energy of the ball changed?

From the geometry of the problem, the 20 m-long cable creates the hypotenuse of a right triangle, with the extended of the other two sides of size 20 m * cos(30 deg), which is around 17.3 m. Therefore, the ball has increased by 20 m - 17.3 m = 2.7 m.

The potential energy will have altered by m*g*h, which is 1400 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 * 1.6 m , or about 37044 joules.

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Let's recall the formula of Gravitational Potential Energy as follows:

$\large {\boxed {E_p = mgh }$

<em>Ep = Gravitational Potential Energy ( Newton )</em>

<em>m = Object's Mass ( kg )</em>

<em>g = Gravitational Acceleration ( m )</em>

<em>h = Height ( m )</em>

Let us now tackle the problem !

$\texttt{ }$

<u>Given:</u>

mass of wrecking ball = m = 1400 kg

length of the cable = L = 20 m

angle with the vertical = θ = 30.0°

<u>Asked:</u>

gravitational potential energy = Ep = ?

<u>Solution:</u>

$Ep = m g h$

$Ep = m g (L - L\cos \theta)$

$Ep = 1400 ( 9.8 ) ( 20 - 20 \cos 30^o )$

$Ep = 13720 ( 20 - 10\sqrt{3} )$

$Ep \approx 37000 \texttt{ J}$

A lamp hangs vertically from a cord in a descending elevator that decelerates at 1.4 m/s2. (a) If the tension in the cord is 91

yanalaym [24]

Answer:8.125 kg

Explanation:

Given

deceleration of elevator $a=1.4\ m/s^2$

suppose T is the tension in the cord

therefore net force on lamp is

$F_{net}=T-mg$

$F_{net}=ma$

direction of a and g is in the same direction

$T-mg=m(1.4)$

$T=m(g+a)$

$m=\dfrac{T}{g+a}$

$m=\dfrac{91}{9.8+1.4}$

$m=8.125\ kg$

A 37 N block rests on a horizontal surface. The coefficients of static and kinetic friction between the surface and the block ar

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

The frictional force acting on the block is 14.8 N.

Explanation:

Given that,

Weight of block = 37 N

Coefficients of static = 0.8

Kinetic friction = 0.4

Tension = 24 N

We need to calculate the maximum friction force

Using formula of friction force

$f=\mu mg$

Put the value into the formula

$f=0.8\times37$

$f=29.6\ N$

So, the tension must exceeds 29.6 N for the block to move

We need to calculate the frictional force acting on the block

Using formula of frictional force

$f = \mu N$

Put the value in to the formula

$f=0.4\times37$

$f=14.8\ N$

Hence, The frictional force acting on the block is 14.8 N.

A proton moves from a location where V = 87 V to a spot where V = -40 V. (a) What is the change in the proton's kinetic energy?

Art [367]

Answer: a) 127 eV; b) there is no change of kinetic energy.

Explanation: In order to explain this problem we have to use the change of potentail energy ( conservative field) is equal to changes in kinetic energy. So for the proton ther move to lower potential then they gain kinetic energy from the electric field. This means the electric force do work in this trayectory and then the protons increased changes its speed.

If we replace the proton by a electron we have a very different situaction, the electrons are located in a lower potental then they can not move to higher potential if any external force does work on the system.

In resumem, the electrons do not move from a point with V=87 to other point with V=-40 V. The electric force point to high potential so the electrons can not move to lower potential region (V=-40V).

zzz [600]

Answer:

Continental drift theory describes the long term effect of plate tectonics.

Explanation:

The long term result of plate tectonic movement is the continental drift. The continents of Earth lay on tectonic plates, that are in motion and interaction via plate tectonics. The drift of the Earths continent is an ongoing process evident in the rift valleys and seafloor spreading zones.

The theory that the Earth's continents are dynamic and have drifted relative to each other is known as continental drift which correlates with the theory of plate tectonics.

Every year, the Earth's outer shell plates are displaced by a small amount due to the heat coming from the Earths interior via convection currents.
