A camera weighing 10 N falls from a small drone hovering 20 m overhead and enters free fall. What is the gravitational potential

energy change of the camera from the drone to the ground if you take a reference point of (a) the ground being zero gravitational potential energy? (b) The drone being zero gravitational potential energy? What is the gravitational potential energy of the camera (c) before it falls from the drone and (d) after the camera lands on the ground if the reference point of zero gravitational potential energy is taken to be a second person looking out of a building 30 m from the ground?

Answer:

A) 200 j

B) 0 J

C) -100 J

D) -300 J

Explanation:

We know that change in potential energy is given as

$\Delta U = U_f - U_i = mgy_f - mgy_i$

where, mg is weight

yf and yi final and initial position

mg = 10 N

yf = 0 m

yi = 20 m

$\Delta U = 10\times 20 - 0 = 200 J$

B) mg = 10 N

yf = 20 m

yi = 20 m

$\Delta U = 0 j$

c) before fall from the drone

U = mgh

h = yf - yi = 20 - 30 = -10 m

$U = 10\times (-10) = -100 J$

D) point has 0 potential energy

mg = 10 N

h = yf -yi = 0 -30 = - 30 m

$U = 10 \times (-30) = -300 J$

Which statement describes the process of subduction? Convection currents pull a plate into the mantle. One plate slides beneath

mixas84 [53]

Answer:

Subduction is the geological process in which one plate moves under another due to gravitational pull. The regions where this process occurs called subduction zones.

A subduction is a tectonic plate which is made up of crust and upper layer of mantle. These two layers are called as lithosphere.

Example: South America, central America and cascade volcanoes. In which the oceanic plate descends beneath a continental plate.

A 1600kg cannon fires a 5kg cannonball horizontally. The exit velocity of the cannonball is 80m/s and the barrel length is 2m. W

evablogger [386]

Answer:

a = 1600 m / s²

Explanation:

For this exercise we use the kinematics relations,

v² = v₀² + 2 a x

where v₀ is the initial velocity of the bullet, which as part of rest is zero, for the distance (x) we can assume that the gases accelerate along the entire trajectory of the cannon x = 2m

a = $\frac{v^2}{2x}$

let's calculate

a = $\frac{80^2}{2 \ 2}$

a = 1600 m / s²

The earth has a net electric charge that causes a field at points near its surface equal to 150 N/C and directed in toward the c

Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

a) The magnitude of the electric charge that a 60-kg human must have to overcome weight is 3.923 coulombs and its sign is negative.

b) The force of repulsion between two people is $13.851\times 10^{6}$ newtons. The use of the earth's electric field a feasible means of flight is not feasible since electric force of repulsion would destroy human body before taking advantage of any possible flight skill.

Explanation:

a) From Second Newton's Law, we form this equation of equilibrium:

$\Sigma F = F_{E}-W = 0$ (Eq. 1)

Where:

$F_{E}$ - Electrostatic force exerted on human, measured in Newton.

$W$ - Weight of the human, measured in Newton.

If we consider that human can be represented as a particle and make use of definitions of electric field and weight, the previous equation is expanded and electric charge is cleared afterwards:

$q\cdot E-m\cdot g = 0$

$q = \frac{m\cdot g}{E}$ (Eq. 2)

$E$ - Electric field, measured in Newtons per Coloumb.

$m$ - Mass, measured in kilograms.

$g$ - Gravity acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

$q$ - Electric charge, measured in Coulomb.

As electric field of the Earth is directed in toward the center of the planet, that is, in the same direction of gravity, electric field must be a negative value. If we know that $m = 60\,kg$ , $g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ and $E = -150\,\frac{N}{C}$ , the charge that a 60-kg human must have to overcome weight is:

$q = \frac{(60\,kg)\cdot \left(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)}{-150\,\frac{N}{C} }$

$q = -3.923\,C$

The magnitude of the electric charge that a 60-kg human must have to overcome weight is 3.923 coulombs and its sign is negative.

b) The electric force of repulsion between two people with the same charge calculated in part (a) is determined by Coulomb's Law, whose definition we proceed to use:

$F = \kappa \cdot \frac{q^{2}}{r^{2}}$ (Eq. 3)

Where:

$\kappa$ - Electrostatic constant, measured in Newton-square meter per square Coulomb.

$q$ - Electric charge, measured in Coulomb.

$r$ - Distance between two people, measured in meters.

If we know that $\kappa = 9\times 10^{9}\,\frac{N\cdot m^{2}}{C^{2}}$ , $q = -3.923\,C$ and $r = 100\,m$ , then the force of repulsion between two people is:

$F = \left(9\times 10^{9}\,\frac{N\cdot m^{2}}{C^{2}} \right)\cdot \left[\frac{(-3.923\,C)^{2}}{(100\,m)^{2}} \right]$

$F = 13.851\times 10^{6}\,N$

The force of repulsion between two people is $13.851\times 10^{6}$ newtons. The use of the earth's electric field a feasible means of flight is not feasible since electric force of repulsion would destroy human body before taking advantage of any possible flight skill.

Calculate the work done by the cyclist when his power output is 200 W for 1800 seconds.

Kobotan [32]

Answer:

3.6 × 10^5 J

Explanation:

Work Done = Energy

Energy = Power × time

Energy = 200 × 1800

= 360000 J

W =

$3.6 \times 10 {}^{5} j$
