If a 10 kg object has 200 J of gravitational potential energy, how high was has it been lifted above the ground?

1 answer:

6 0

Potential energy is possessed by the body while at rest while the body in motion possesses kinetic energy.
Potential energy is given by mgh where m is the mass of the body, g is the gravitational acceleration(9.8m/s^2) and h is the height.
Therefore, 200J = 10 × 9.8 ×h
h = 200/98
h = 2.041 m

What is the current through a 11v bulb with a power of 99w

Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

9.01amp

Explanation:

Power = V^2/R

Given that v = 11volts, P = 99watts

99 = 11^2/R

11×11 = 99R

121= 99R

R = 121/99

R= 1.22ohms

From ohms Law; V = IR

11volts = I × 1.22ohms

I = 11/1.23

I = 9.01 amp

If a weight hanging on a string of length 5 feet swings through 5^\circ on either side of the vertical, how long is the arc thro

Zielflug [23.3K]

First we can find the circumference of the whole circle with a radius of 5 feet. circumference = 2 pi radius circumference = (2 pi) (5 feet) circumference = (10 pi) feet From one high point to the other high point, the string moves through an angle of 10 degrees. Since a full circle is 360 degrees, this angle is 1/36 of a full circle. Therefore, the arc length is 1/36 of the whole circumference. arc length = (1/36) (circumference) arc length = (1/36) (10 pi) feet arc length = 0.873 feet

Emily holds a banana of mass m over the edge of a bridge of height h. She drops the banana and it falls to the river below. Use

bearhunter [10]

Answer:

The mass of the banana is m and it is at height h.

Applying the Law of Conservation of Energy

Total Energy before fall = Total Energy after fall

$E_{i}$ = $E_{f}$

Here, total energy is the sum of kinetic energy and potential energy

$K.E_{i}$ + $P.E_{i}$ = $K.E_{f}$ + $P.E_{f}$ (a)

When banana is at height h, it has

$K.E_{i}$ = 0 and $P.E_{i}$ = mgh

and when it reaches the river, it has

$K.E_{f}$ = 1/2m $v^{2}$ and $P.E_{f}$ = 0

Putting the values in equation (a)

0 + mgh = 1/2m $v^{2}$ + 0

mgh = 1/2m $v^{2}$

cutting 'm' from both sides

gh = 1/2 $v^{2}$

v = $\sqrt{2gh}$

Hence, the velocity of banana before hitting the water is

v = $\sqrt{2gh}$

Which term describes the point when two objects reach the same temperature and there is no longer a transfer of energy through h

yaroslaw [1]

The term you need to know is equilibrium. Technically it means that heat gained = heat lost. Normally in beginning chemistry classes the evidence for this condition is a stable temperature.
