Answer:

The cat’s gravitational potential energy relative to the floor is 137.2 Joules.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of cat = 7 kg

Height of bookshelf = 2 m

The gravitational potential energy :

The gravitational potential energy is the product of the mass of the object, gravity and height of the object from the ground.

The gravitational potential energy relative to the floor is

P.E = mgh-0

P.E = 7\times9.8\times2-0

P.E=137.2\ J

Hence, The cat’s gravitational potential energy relative to the floor is 137.2 Joules.

PE = mgh
      Mass, m = 7kg, g ≈ 10 m/s², height = 2m     
 
      = 7*10*2
 
       = 140 Joules.

Write a question about how changing temperature affects gas
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

"How does the volume of a gas kept at constant pressure change as its temperature is increased?"

Explanation:

One possible question can be:

"How does the volume of a gas kept at constant pressure change as its temperature is increased?"

The answer to this question is contained in Charle's law, which states that for a gas at constant pressure, the volume of the gas is proportional to its absolute temperature:

V\propto T

Or also written as

\frac{V}{T}=const.

By looking at this equation, we can find immediately the answer to our question: as the (absolute) temperature of the gas increases, the volume increases as well, by the same proportion.

Which wave, A or B, has higher energy?
eduard

Answer:

Wave A.

Explanation:

The energy of a wave is directly proportional to the square of the amplitude.

If a wave has higher amplitude, it will have more energy. On the other hand, a wave having lower amplitude, it will have less eenergy.

In this case, we need to tell which wave has higher energy. Hence, the correct option is A because it has a higher amplitude.

The most common isotope of hydrogen contains a proton and an electron 'separated by about -11-27 5.0 x 10 m. The mass of proton
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

A)   F_g = 4.05 10⁻⁴⁷ N, B)   F_e = 9.2 10⁻⁸N, C)    \frac{F_e}{F_g} = 2.3 10³⁹

Explanation:

A) It is asked to find the force of attraction due to the masses of the particles

Let's use the law of universal attraction

            F = G \frac{m_1m_2}{r^2}

let's calculate

            F = 6.67 \ 10^{-11} \ \frac{9.1 \ 10^{-31} \ 1.67 \ 10 ^{-27} }{(5 \ 10^{-11})^2 }

            F_g = 4.05 10⁻⁴⁷ N

B) in this part it is asked to calculate the electric force

Let's use Coulomb's law

            F = k \  \frac{q_1q_2}{r^2}

let's calculate

            F = 9 \ 10^9 \  \frac{(1.6 \ 10^{-19} )^2}{(5 \ 10^{-11})^2}

             F_e = 9.2 10⁻⁸N

C) It is asked to find the relationship between these forces

        \frac{F_e}{F_g} = \frac{9.2 \ 10^{-8} }{4.05 \ 10^{-47} }

        = 2.3 10³⁹

therefore the electric force is much greater than the gravitational force
