Answer:

A person climbs a set of stairs

Explanation:

Potential energy is said to be possessed by an object due to its position. As the height from the ground level increase, the potential energy increases. It is calculated by the below formula as :

P = mgh

Out of the given options, the option that illustrates an increase in potential energy is option (b) i.e. a person climbs a set of stairs. As he steps one stair, its position from ground increases. It means its potential energy increases.

A rifle of mass 2 kg is horizontally suspended by a pair of strings so that recoil can be measured. The rifle fires a bullet of
aliya0001 [1]

Answer: 1m/s

Explanation: according to the law of conservation of linear momentum in an isolated system, the momentum of the gun equals that of the bullet.

Mathematically

Mb×Vb = Mg×Vg

Where Mb = mass of bullet = 1/100 = 0.01 kg

Vb = velocity of bullet = 200 m/s

Mg = mass of gun = 2kg

Vg = recoil velocity of gun =?

0.01×200 = 2×Vg

Vg = 0.01×200/2

Vg = 0.01×100

Vg = 1m/s

What are the density, specific gravity and mass of the air in a room whose dimensions are 4 m * 6 m * 8 m at 100 kPa and 25 C.
Volgvan

Answer:

Density = 1.1839 kg/m³

Mass = 227.3088 kg

Specific Gravity = 0.00118746 kg/m³

Explanation:

Room dimensions are 4 m, 6 m & 8 m. Thus, volume = 4 × 6 × 8 = 192 m³

Now, from tables, density of air at 25°C is 1.1839 kg/m³

Now formula for density is;

ρ = mass(m)/volume(v)

Plugging in the relevant values to give;

1.1839 = m/192

m = 227.3088 kg

Formula for specific gravity of air is;

S.G_air = density of air/density of water

From tables, density of water at 25°C is 997 kg/m³

S.G_air = 1.1839/997 = 0.00118746 kg/m³

AN airplane travels 4000 m in 20s on a heading 0f 35 degrees north west. Calculate average velocity .
alexandr402 [8]
Isn't velocity Distance over time? if the degree isn't adding resistance it should be 4000 ÷ 20 which gives you 200mps ("per second") which is the velocity without resistance.

the apparent weight of a body wholly immersed in water is 32N and its weight in 96N and calculate volume of the body
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

0.0065 m³

Explanation:

Apparent weight = weight − buoyancy

32 N = 96 N − (1000 kg/m³) (9.8 m/s²) V

V = 0.0065 m³
