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

If the volume is held constant, what happens to the pressure of a gas as temperature is decreased? Explain.

Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:Decreases

Explanation:

Given

Volume is held constant that is it is a isochoric process.

We know that

PV=nRT

as n,V& R are constant therefore only variables are

P & T

so $\frac{P_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2}{T_2}$

$\frac{P_1}{P_2}=\frac{T_1}{T_2}$

As $T_1$ is decreasing therefore Pressure must also decrease so that ratio remains constant.

A 8.00-kg object is hung from the bottom end of a vertical spring fastened to an overhead beam. The object is set into vertical

Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

109.32 N/m

Explanation:

Given that

Mass of the hung object, m = 8 kg

Period of oscillation of object, T = 1.7 s

Force constant, k = ?

Recall that the period of oscillation of a Simple Harmonic Motion is given as

T = 2π √(m/k), where

T = period of oscillation

m = mass of object and

k = force constant if the spring

Since we are looking for the force constant, if we make "k" the subject of the formula, we have

k = 4π²m / T², now we go ahead to substitute our given values from the question

k = (4 * π² * 8) / 1.7²

k = 315.91 / 2.89

k = 109.32 N/m

Therefore, the force constant of the spring is 109.32 N/m

A horse shoe magnet is placed on a mass balance such that a uniform magnetic field of magnitude B runs between it from North to

BARSIC [14]

Answer:

(a) Measured change in mass (Δm) = BVL/Rg

(b) Total measured mass M' = M - BVL/Rg

Explanation:

Current (I) across is coil is given by the formula;

I = V/R ------------------------1

The magnetic force is given by the formula;

Fb = B*I*L -------------------2

Putting equation 1 into equation 2, we have;

Fb = B*V*L/R -------------------3

Change in mass (Δm) is given as:

Δm = Fb/g -----------------------4

Putting equation 3 into equation 4, we have;

Δm = BVL/Rg

Therefore, change in mass (Δm) = BVL/Rg

2. Since B runs from North to South and current running from East to West, then the magnetic force is directed upward.

Therefore,

Total measure mass M' = M - BVL/Rg
