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

Answer:

The solution(s) are in order with respect to the attachments

2.613\:\cdot10^5 Joules ; 5. Adding the same amount of heat to two different objects will produce the same increase in temperature ; 2. Same speed in both ; 2. A

Explanation:

Diagram 1 ( Liquid Nitrogen ) : So as you can see, we want our units in Joules here, and can therefore multiply the mass of gaseous nitrogen and the latent heat of liquid nitrogen, to cancel the units kg, and receive our solution - in terms of Joules. Let's do it.

q ( energy removed ) = mass of nitrogen * latent heat of liquid nitrogen,

q = 1.3 kg * 2.01 * 10⁵ J / kg = 1.3\:\cdot \:2.01\:\cdot \:\:10^5 = 10^5\cdot \:2.613 = 100000\cdot \:2.613 = 261300 Joules = 261.3 kiloJoules = 2.613 * 10⁵Joules is the energy that must be removed

Diagram 2 : The same amount of heat does not necessarily mean the same increase in temperature for two different objects. The increase in temperature depends on the specific heat capacity of the substance. Therefore your solution is 5 ) Adding the same amount of heat to two different objects will produce the same increase in temperature.

Diagram 3 : The temperatures in both glasses are the same, and hence the molecules have the same average speed. Therefore your solution is 2 ) Same speed in both.

Diagram 4 : Glass A has more water molecules, and hence has more thermal energy. Your solution is 2 ) A.
