Given: The mass of stone (m) = 0.5 kg

Raised from heights (h₁) = 1.0 m to (h₂) = 2.0 m

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

To find: The change in potential energy of the stone

Formula: The potential energy (P) = mgh

where, all alphabets are in their usual meanings.

Now, we shall calculate the change in potential energy of the stone

Δ P = P₂ - P₁ = mg (h₂ - h₁)

or, = 0.5 kg ×9.8 m/s² ×(2.0 m - 1.0 m)

or, = 4.9 J

Hence, the required change in the potential energy of the stone will be 4.9 J

Olivia wants to find out whether a substance will fluoresce. She says she should put it in a microwave oven. Do you agree with h

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Disagree.
Fluoresce objects will only glow when put under actual Ultraviolet light. This is due to the molecules becoming excited by the ultraviolet radiation.

Microwaves give micro-waves that are present in another spectrum of wave length and will not be able to fluoresce the molecules. If it’s not “ultra violet “.... it’s not going to glow.

Supposing that the spring is un stretched when θ = 0, and has a toughness of k = 60 N/m.It seems that the spring has a roller support on the left end. This would make the spring force direction always to the left
Sum moments about the pivot to zero.
10.0(9.81)[(2sinθ)/2] + 50 - 60(2sinθ)[2cosθ] = 0 98.1sinθ + 50 - (120)2sinθcosθ = 0 98.1sinθ + 50 - (120)sin(2θ) = 0
by iterative answer we discover that
θ ≈ 0.465 radians
θ ≈ 26.6º

Hey everyone what is optics??

lana66690 [7]

Explanation:

Optics is a branch of physics that is the study of light and vision. ... The branch of physics dealing with the nature and properties of electromagnetic energy in the light spectrum and the phenomena of vision. In the broadest sense, optics deals with infrared light, visible light, and ultraviolet light.

harina [27]

Answer:

Option d is the correct option Kinetic energy is minimum while as potential energy is maximum

Explanation:

At the top most point of the flight since it cannot reach any further up in the vertical direction thus the potential energy at this position shall be maximum. Now since the total energy of the projectile is conserved so the remaining kinetic energy shall be minimum at that point so as the sum of the kinetic and potential energies remain constant.
