We know, Potential Energy = m * g * h
Here, mass & gravity would be same, but their height will change so it will be:

ΔU = U₂ - U₁
ΔU = mgh₂ - mgh₁
ΔU = mg (h₂ - h₁)

Hope this helps!

when an object falls to the ground, only the object moves down but the earth's motion is not noticeable​.why?
vlada-n [284]
Both the object and earth pulls each other towards itself but since the mass and pulling force of objects are very small the pulling force of objects are negligible.

one arm of a u shaped tube contains water and the other alcohol. if the two fluids meet exactly at the bottom of the U and the a
Tema [17]

Complete Question

One arm of a U-shaped tube (open at both ends) contains water, and the other alcohol.

If the two fluids meet at exactly the bottom of the U, and the alcohol is at a height of 18 cm, at what height will the water be?Assume the density of alcohol is \rho_a  =  790\  kg/m^3

Answer:

The  height of water is  h_w  =  0.142 \ m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The height of the alcohol is  h_a  =18 \ cm  =  0.18 \ m

     The  density of the alcohol is  \rho_a  =  790\  kg/m^3

Generally the pressure on both arm of the tube are equal given that they are both open

i,e    P_a  =  P_w

Where  P_a is pressure of alcohol and  P_w is pressure of water

   So the pressure on the arm of the tube containing the alcohol is mathematically evaluated as

         P_a  =  g  *  h  *  \rho

substituting values

         P_a  =9.8  *  0.18 *  790

         P_a  = 1394 \ Pa

Generally the pressure on the arm of the tube containing the water is mathematically evaluated as

       P_w  =  g *   h_w   *  \rho_w

where  \rho_w is the density of water which has  a value \rho _w  =  1000 \ kg/m^3

So  

      1394 = 9.8  *  h_w  *  1000

=>    h_w  =  \frac{1394}{9800}

=>  h_w  =  0.142 \ m

When a hydrometer (see Fig. 2) having a stem diameter of 0.30 in. is placed in water, the stem protrudes 3.15 in. above the wate
Masja [62]

Answer:

5.79 in

Explanation:

We are given that

Diameter,d=0.30 in

Radius,r=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{0.30}{2}=0.15 in

Weight of hydrometer,W=0.042 lb

Specific gravity(SG)=1.10

Height of stem from the water surface=3.15 in

Density of water=62.4lb/ft^3

In water

Volume  of water displaced V=\frac{mass}{density}=\frac{0.042}{62.4}=6.73\times 10^{-4} ft^3

Volume of another liquid displaced=V'=\frac{V}{SG}=\frac{6.73\times 10^{-4}}{1.19}=5.66\times 10^{-4}ft^3

Change in volume=V-V'

V-V'=\pi r^2 l

Substitute the values

6.73\times 10^{-4}-5.66\times 10^{-4}=3.14\times (\frac{0.15}{12})^2l

By using

1 ft=12 in

\pi=3.14

l=\frac{6.73\times 10^{-4}-5.66\times 10^{-4}}{3.14\times (\frac{0.15}{12})^2}

l=2.64 in

Total height=h+l=3.15+2.64= 5.79 in

Hence, the height of the stem protrude above the liquid surface=5.79 in

If the force of a golf club on a golf ball is 200 N forward, what will the force of the ball on the club be?
Afina-wow [57]

Newton's Third Law is every action has an equal and opposite reaction.

B. 200 N Backwards is the correct answer

The ball should put 200 N of force towards the golfer.

The ball is exerting 200 N of force towards the club as well, but the opposite reaction is that it flies away.

For more details: For each reaction there must be a opposite reaction(Which is the ball going 200 N backwards) and an equal reaction(The ball putting 200 N of force towards the golfer and the golfer)
