Answer:

A) bringing a positively charged balloon near it.

Explanation:

This is the correct answer because is the only option in which the object has a charge (a positive one in this case). That means when the scientist brings a positively charged balloon near the hollow metal globe on the top of the Van de Graaff generator a repulsion is seen it because the globe is positively charged too.

A stone is dropped into a well. The sound of the splash is heard 6.25 s later. What is the depth of the well? (Take the speed of
Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

depth of well is 163.30 m

Explanation:

Given data

speed of sound = 343 m/s

timer = 6.25 s

to find out

depth of well

solution

let us consider depth d

so equation will be

depth = 1/2 ×g ×t²    ..............1

and

depth = velocity of sound × time    .................2

here we have given time 6.25 that is sum of 2 time

when stone reach at bottom that time

another is sound reach us after stone strike on bottom

so time 1 + time 2 = 6.25 s

so from equation 1  and 2 we get

1/2 ×g ×t² = velocity of sound × time

1/2 ×9.8 × t1² = 343 × (6.25 - t1 )

t1 = 5.77376 sec

so height = 1/2 ×g ×t²

height = 1/2 ×9.8 × (5.773)²

height = 163.30 m

A ball rolls down the hill which has a vertical height of 15 m. Ignoring friction what would be the gravitational potential ener
trasher [3.6K]

a) Potential energy: 147 m [J]

The gravitational potential energy of an object is given by

U=mgh

where

m is its mass

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

h is the height of the object above the ground

In this problem,

h = 15 m

We call 'm' the mass of the ball, since we don't know it

So, the potential energy of the ball at the top of the hill is

U=(m)(9.8)(15)=147 m (J)

b) Velocity of the ball at the bottom of the hill: 17.1 m/s

According to the law of conservation of energy, in absence of friction all the potential energy of the ball is converted into kinetic energy as the ball reaches the bottom of the hill. Therefore we can write:

U=K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where

v is the final velocity of the ball

We know from part a) that

U = 147 m

Substituting into the equation above,

147 m = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

And re-arranging for v, we find the velocity:

v=\sqrt{2\cdot 147}=17.1 m/s
