Calculate potential energy

Physics
1 answer:
IrinaVladis [17]3 years ago

The potential energy of an object is defined by the equation: PE = mgh, where m = the mass of the object, g = the gravitational acceleration and h = the object's height above the ground.

A body weighs 100newtons and 80newtons when submerged in water.calculate the upthrust action on the body
katovenus [111]

Answer:

20 N

Explanation:

In air, the normal force is equal to the weight.

∑F = ma

N − mg = 0

N = mg

Submerged in water, the normal force is equal to the weight minus the buoyant force:

∑F = ma

B + N − mg = 0

N = mg − B

Plugging in values:

80 N = 100 N − B

B = 20 N

A friend says that the reason one's hair stands out while touching a charged Van de Graaff generator is simply that the hair str
Llana [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Yes I agree with the statement .

When a person who is perfectly insulated from the earth , touches a Van de Graaff , his body acquires charge . when the hair acquires it, it stands out due to mutual repulsion . It is to be noted here that at pointed areas on a surface , there is larger accumulation of charge. Accumulation of charge is greater at hair tops .

It is also a general observation that when a bird sits on high tension wire , his feather stands out due to the same reason.

An alligator swims to the left with a constant velocity of 5 \,\dfrac{\text{m}}{\text s}5
dexar [7]

Answer:

The alligator will take t = 10 s to reach the final speed of 35 m/s

Explanation:

As we know that the initial speed of the alligator is 5 m/s

then it accelerate by given acceleration to reach the final speed of 35 m/s

so we will have

v_i = 5 m/s

v_f = 35 m/s

a = 3m/s^2

now we have

v_f = v_i + at

35 = 5 + 3 t

t = 10 s

Answer:

The water releases energy which causes the water molecules to have less kinetic and potential energy, changing their configuration from liquid to solid.

Explanation:

The conversion of water to ice is a phase change from liquid to solid. There is no chemical action taking place in this process just the state of matter taking up a new form.

  • This phase change is called freezing.
  • In freezing, the liquid water loses energy to the surroundings.
  • By so doing, the water molecules have lesser energy
  • The then take up fixed position within the lattice.
  • This changes the state to solid with a well - ordered arrangement.
