Answer:

1375J

Explanation:

The gravitational potential/potential energy of the at the top of the tree which is the energy by virtue of its position.

P.E = mgh

mass = m

Acceleration due to gravity = g

height = h

At the top of the tree, the value of h (height) is high resulting in the gravitational potential. When the cat lands on the ground, the value of h is zero, the the gravitational potential would be zero and all the potential energy have been converted to other forms of energy.

Therefore, the total gravitational potential store is equal to the maximum amount of energy that can be transferred which is equal to 1375J.

Which of the following statements is true?

Correct answer choice is :

C) The freezing and melting temperatures of a substance are the same.

Explanation:

Fluids have a particular temperature at which they convert into solids, identified as their freezing point. In theory, the melting point of a solid should be the same as the freezing point of the liquid. In practice, small variations among these measures can be seen. The freezing point of a matter is the same as that substance's melting point. At this distinct temperature, the substance can exist as either a solid or a liquid. At temperatures below the freezing/ melting point, the substance is a solid.

A space station, in the form of a wheel 140 m in diameter, rotates to provide an "artificial gravity" of 3.90 m/s2 for persons w

Zigmanuir [339]

Radial acceleration is given by

$a_{rad}= \frac{v^2}{r}$
where

$v=r \omega$
then

$a_{rad}= \frac{r^2 \omega^2}{r}=r\omega^2$

Now

$70\omega^2=3.90 \frac{m}{s^2} \\ \\ \omega= \sqrt{ \frac{3.9}{70} }$

Using the relation

$\omega=2 \pi f$

$2 \pi f= \sqrt{ \frac{3.9}{70} }\\ \\ f= \frac{1}{2 \pi}\sqrt{ \frac{3.9}{70} }Hz$

Putting into rpm

$\frac{60}{2 \pi}\sqrt{ \frac{3.9}{70}} =2.254rpm$

A(n) 10.1 g bullet is fired into a(n) 2.41 kg ballistic pendulum and becomes embedded in it. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8

fomenos

Answer:

$v = 186.90\,\frac{m}{s}$

Explanation:

The motion of ballistic pendulum is modelled by the appropriate use of the Principle of Energy Conservation:

$\frac{1}{2}\cdot (m_{p}+m_{b})\cdot v^{2} = (m_{p}+m_{b})\cdot g \cdot h$

The final velocity of the system formed by the ballistic pendulum and the bullet is:

$v = \sqrt{2\cdot g\cdot h}$

$v = \sqrt{2\cdot (9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} )\cdot (0.031\,m)}$

$v\approx 0.78\,\frac{m}{s}$

Initial velocity of the bullet can be calculated from the expression derived of the Principle of Momentum:

$(0.0101\,kg)\cdot v = (2.41\,kg + 0.0101\,kg)\cdot (0.78\,\frac{m}{s} )$

$v = 186.90\,\frac{m}{s}$

Answer:

Before sled starts to move it has a potential energy due to the elevation...and then that potential energy converted to kinetic energy due to presence of a velocity...the sled will continue to move if their is no resesive force...but however friction force is presence that cause the sled to stop....

Two small metal spheres are 25 cm apaft.The spheres have equal amount of negative charge and repel each other with a force of 0.

Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

$0.5\times 10^{-6}C$

Explanation:

According to coulombs law force between two charges is given by $F=\frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon _0}\frac{Q_1Q_2}{R^2}$ here R is the distance between both the charges which is given as 25 cm

We have given force F =0.036 N

So $0.036=\frac{1}{4\pi \times 8.85\times 10^{-12}}\frac{Q^2}{(0.25^2)}$ As $\epsilon _0$ is constant which value is $8.85\times 10^{-12}$

$Q^2=0.250\times 10^{-12}$

$Q=0.5\times 10^{-6}C$
