Answer: It increased by a factor of 5

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy $P$ is given by the following formula:

$P=mgh$

Where:

$m$ is the mass of the cylinder (assumed as constant)

$g$ is the acceleration due gravity (assumed as constant)

$h$ is the height of the cylinder

As we can see, $P$ is directly proportional to $h$ . Hence, if $h$ increases by a factor of 5 $P$ increases by a factor of 5, as well.

Bart stole a watermelon in ran 5,000 feet from the cops to chase lasted 0.1 hours how fast was Bart running in miles per hour...

valentinak56 [21]

5000 feet = 0.947 miles.

Speed= ?
Distance=o.947 miles
Time= 0.1 hours

Speed=distance/time
= 0.947/0.1
=9.47 miles per hour

The average distance of the planet mercury from the sun is 0.39 times the average distance of the earth from the sun. How long i

Stels [109]

Answer:

$T_1=0.24y$

Explanation:

Using Kepler's third law, we can relate the orbital periods of the planets and their average distances from the Sun, as follows:

$(\frac{T_1}{T_2})^2=(\frac{D_1}{D_2})^3$

Where $T_1$ and $T_2$ are the orbital periods of Mercury and Earth respectively. We have $D_1=0.39D_2$ and $T_2=1y$ . Replacing this and solving for

$T_1^2=T_2^2(\frac{D_1}{D_2})^3\\T_1^2=(1y)^2(\frac{0.39D_2}{D_2})^3\\T_1^2=1y^2(0.39)^3\\T_1^2=0.059319y^2\\T_1=0.24y$

inessss [21]

Answer: live conductor with his right hand and touches a ground with his left hand

Explanation:

When a technician touches a live conductor with his right hand and touches a ground with his left hand, it is the most dangerous, and likely to cause serious injury.

This is because when the person touches the live conductor, there will be an electrical path which will allow current flow with the aid of the person's body. This is because the body of human being is a conductor. Therefore, when the technician touches the live conductor with his right hand and touches a ground with his left hand, an electrical path is created.

Which of the following statements are true? (Select all that apply.) Ammeters have a relatively high resistance and are placed i

xenn [34]

Answer: Ammeters have a very low resistance and are placed in series with a resistor.

Ammeters have a very low resistance so as to not significantly alter the total resistance of a circuit.

Voltmeters have a relatively high resistance and are placed in parallel with a resistor.

Explanation: An ammeter is a device which used to measure current in a circuit. Thus, it is placed in series with the other components of the circuit. In series, the current remains same throughout the circuit and depends on the net resistance of the circuit.

This, the ammeter must have very low resistance so that it doesn't alter the net resistance of the circuit.

A voltmeter is a device which is used to measure potential drop across a component in a circuit. Thus, it is placed in parallel combination to to the component. The resistance of a voltmeter must be high so that no current flows through it and alters the potential drop across the component.
