Calculate the potential energy of a 5 kg object sitting at the top of a 2 meter ramp.

1 answer:

5 0

The formula used to find potential energy is <em>P.E. = M * G * H</em> (P.E. is potential energy, M is mass, G is gravitational pull, and H is height). So the answer to your question is <em>5 * 9.8 * 2</em>, which equals 98.

Will kilogram of hydrogen contains more atoms than kilogram of lead?

Zigmanuir [339]

Yes a kg of hydrogen will have more atoms than a kg of lead, because lead has a higher atomic mass, than hydrogen so it will take more atoms of hydrogen to make a kg than lead

A certain capacitor, in series with a resistor, is being charged. At the end of 10 ms its charge is half the final value. The ti

vichka [17]

To solve this problem we will apply the expression of charge per unit of time in a capacitor with a given resistance. Mathematically said expression is given as

$q(t) = e^{-\frac{t}{(R*C)}}$

Here,

q = Charge

t = Time

R = Resistance

C = Capacitance

When the charge reach its half value it has passed 10ms, then the equation is,

$\frac{1}{2}*q_{final} = e^{-\frac{0.01}{(R*C)}}$

$Ln(\frac{1}{2}) = -\frac{0.01}{RC}$

$- RC = \frac{0.01}{Ln(1/2)}$

$RC = 0.014s$

We know that RC is equal to the time constant, then

$T = RC = 0.014s = 14ms$

Therefore the time constant for the process is about 14ms

Will convection always work faster and more efficiently than conduction?

Stells [14]

Answer:

Yes convection will always work faster and more efficiently.

Explanation:

When a gas or a liquid is heated, hot areas of the material flow and mix with the cool areas. ... Convection transfers heat over a distance faster than conduction. But ultimately conduction must transfer the heat from the gas to the other object, though molecular contact.
