Find the hiker’s gravitational potential energy if the cliff is 60m high

Physics
1 answer:
Furkat [3]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Potential energy is U=mgh

Explanation:

The potential energy depends on the mass, the acceleration of gravity g and the height at which the object or person is.

Potential energy  U=mgh

In this case we would need to know the exact mass of the hiker in order to calculate the potential energy.

But we know the values of g and h

g=9.81m/s^2

h=60m

So, the potential energy

U=m(9.81m/s^2)(60m)\\\\U=588.6*m

m is the mass of the hiker, wich is not in the description of the problem.

An automobile battery has an emf of 12.6 V and an internal resistance of 0.0600 . The headlights together present equivalent res
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

(a) V=11.86\ V

(b) V=9.76\ V

Explanation:

<u>Electric Circuits</u>

Suppose we have a resistive-only electric circuit. The relation between the current I and the voltage V in a resistance R is given by the Ohm's law:

V=R.I

(a) The electromagnetic force of the battery is \varepsilon =12.6\ V and its internal resistance is R_i=0.06\ \Omega. Knowing the equivalent resistance of the headlights is R_e=5.2\ \Omega, we can compute the current of the circuit by using the Kirchhoffs Voltage Law or KVL:

\varepsilon=i.R_i+i.R_e=i.(R_i+R_e)

Solving for i

\displaystyle i=\frac{\varepsilon}{ R_i+R_e}=\frac{12}{0.06+5.2}=2.28\ A

i=2.28\ A

The potential difference across the headlight  bulbs is

V=\varepsilon  -i.R_i=12\ V-2.28\ A\cdot 0.06\ \Omega=11.86\ V

V=11.86\ V

(b) If the starter motor is operated, taking an additional 35 Amp from the battery, then the total load current is 2.28 A + 35 A = 37.28 A. Thus the output voltage of the battery, that is the voltage that the bulbs have is

V=\varepsilon  -i.R_i=12\ V-37.28\ A\cdot 0.06\ \Omega=9.76\ V

Serhud [2]

Answer:

State vector.

Explanation:

To determine exactly where a satellite is located, engineers must think and calculate positions in three dimensions. A set of data telling engineers all of the various elements of position, velocity, and time for a satellite or spacecraft is known as a state vector.

This ultimately implies that, state vectors gives a detailed description of the position and velocity of a satellite at a specific period of time. Also, the more accurate your input state vector, the more accurate would be the position, velocity and time for a satellite when trying to determine its location. Therefore, the time tag of a state vector shouldn't be too far from the present time of the day.
