Potential energy<span> is energy which results from position or configuration. It is the energy stored in an object not moving. It is calculated by:

PE = mgh

where m is the mass, g is the gravitational acceleratin and h is the height.

PE = 10 ( 9.8) (320) = 31360 J = </span>3.1 x 104 J --------> OPTION 2

• A cable is suspended over a pulley. A 5.0 kg mass is attached to
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

Tension= \frac{20g}{3}  (g=acceleration of gravity)

Explanation:

Given that,

A 5Kg and 10Kg are attached by a cable suspended over a pulley.

As 10Kg > 5Kg , the 10 kg mass accelerates down and the 5kg mass accelerates up, let it be a. Let the tension in the cable be T.

So, the equations of motion are

10g-T = 10a

T-5g=5a

Now adding them we get,

5g=15a

a=\frac{g}{3}

Substituting them back in the equation we get,

10g-10(\frac{g}{3} ) = T

T= \frac{20g}{3}

An ideal parallel - plate capacitor consists of two parallel plates of area A separated by a distance d. This capacitor is conne
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

The capacitance is cut in half.

Explanation:

The capacitance of a plate capacitor is directly proportional to the area A of the plates and inversely proportional to the distance between the plates d. So if the distance was doubled we should expect that the capacitance would be cut in half. That can be verified by the following equation that is used to compute the capacitance in such cases:

C = (\epsilon)*(A/d)

Where \epsilon is a constant that represents the characteristics for the insulator between the plates. A is the area of the plates and d is the distance between them. When we double d we have a new capacitance, given by:

C_new = (\epsilon)*(A/2d)

C_new = (1/2)*[(\epsilon)*(A/d)]

Since C = (\epsilon)*(A/d)] we have:

C_new = (1/2)*C

Near the end of a marathon race, the first two runners are separated by a distance of 45.6 m. The front runner has a velocity of
morpeh [17]

Answer:17.08 s

Explanation:

Given

distance between First and second Runner is 45.6 m

speed of first runner(v_1)=3.1 m/s

speed of second runner(v_2)=4.65 m/s

Distance between first runner and finish line is 250 m

Second runner need to run a distance of 250+45.6=295.6 m

Time required by second runner t=\frac{295.6}{4.65}=63.56 s

time required by first runner to reach finish line=\frac{250}{3.1}=80.64 s

Thus second runner reach the finish line 80.64-63.56=17.08 s earlier
