A 0.5 kg stone is raised from 1m to 2m height from the ground. what is the change in potential energy of the stone?

Physics
1 answer:
Usimov [2.4K]3 years ago
4 0

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

Which of the following statements about the nuclear strong force is true?
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer: 2, the nuclear strong force drops to practically nothing at large distances.

Explanation: The protons and neutrons in the nucleus share subatomic particles called pions. This exchange is what keeps the protons and neutrons stuck together in the nucleus. Despite the strong force being the strongest force, it has a very small range. This is because pions have very short lifespans. So, the strong force would have literally no effect at large distances.

Hope that helped! :)

What was significant about the clay samples from the Western Hemisphere? How was the Alvarez hypothesis modified in response?
Elenna [48]

Answer:

Either Answer you Put is fine i put one as an answer and the other is the sample response and got it right.

My Answer: rather than typical sea floor rock, which had been shocked, melted, and ejected to the surface in minutes, and evidence of colossal seawater movement directly afterwards from sand deposits. Crucially the cores also showed a near complete absence of gypsum, a sulfate-containing rock, which would have been vaporized and dispersed as an aerosol into the atmosphere, confirming the presence of a probable link between the impact and global longer-term effects on the climate and food chain.

Sample Response:

Samples from the Western Hemisphere contained significantly higher amounts of shock-fractured quartz. This led Walter and Luis Alvarez to hypothesize that the asteroid impact site was in the Western Hemisphere.

The chart below shows the amount of coal mined in four different states of USA in the year 2005.
ozzi
The correct answer is <span>Montana.

In fact, we see from the table that Montana is the state with the largest amount of coal mined in 2005: 120 billion tons, while all the other states have a smaller amount of coal mined (37, 68 and 78, for West Virginia, Wyoming and Illinois, respectively).</span>
