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!

\large \mathfrak{Solution : }

Average speed :

  • \boxed{ \dfrac{distance \:  \: covered}{total \:  \: time \:  \: taken} }

  • \dfrac{100}{8}

  • 12.5 \:  \: m/s

The horizontal (flat) line on a Distance - time graph shows that the body is at rest because the value of Distance (on y - axis ) is same for increasing time ( on x - axis ), it basically shows that the object is at the same position with the change in time.

therefore, correct option is :

  • a. \:  \: the \:  \: object \:  \: is \:  \: not \:  \: moving

A thin block of soft wood with a mass of 0.072 kg rests on a horizontal frictionless surface. A bullet with a mass of 4.67 g is
Olegator [25]

Answer:

366.90149 m/s

923.821735 J

324.734 J

Initial Kinetic energy > Final kinetic energy

Explanation:

m_1 = Mass of block = 0.072 kg

m_2 = Mass of bullet = 4.67 g

u_1 = Initial Velocity of block = 0

u_2 = Initial Velocity of bullet = 629 m/s

v_1 = Final Velocity of block = 17 m/s

v_2 = Final Velocity of bullet

In this system the linear momentum is conserved

m_{1}u_{1}+m_{2}u_{2}=m_{1}v_{1}+m_{2}v_{2}\\\Rightarrow v_2=\frac{m_{1}u_{1}+m_{2}u_{2}-m_1v_1}{m_2}\\\Rightarrow v_2=\frac{0.072\times 0+4.67\times 10^{-3}\times 629-0.072\times 17}{4.67\times 10^{-3}}\\\Rightarrow v_2=366.90149\ m/s

Final Velocity of bullet is 366.90149 m/s

The initial kinetic energy

K_i=\frac{1}{2}m_2u_2^2\\\Rightarrow K_i=\frac{1}{2}4.67\times 10^{-3}\times 629^2\\\Rightarrow K_i=923.821735\ J

The final kinetic energy

K_f=\frac{1}{2}m_2v_2^2+\frac{1}{2}m_1v_1^2\\\Rightarrow K_f=\frac{1}{2}4.67\times 10^{-3}\times 366.90149^2+\frac{1}{2}0.072\times 17^2\\\Rightarrow K_f=324.734\ J

Initial Kinetic energy > Final kinetic energy

A 3.2-kg thin, circular hoop with a radius of 5.4 m is rotating about an axis through its center and perpendicular to its plane.
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

Torque = –207.4 Nm

Explanation:

Given M = 3.2kg, r = 5.4m, α = –12rad/s² (it is slowing down)

Torque = I × α

α = angular acceleration

I = moment of inertia

I = MR² for a circular hoop

Torque = 3.2×5.4×(– 12)

Torque = –207.4 Nm

How does the change in the temperature of the universe provide evidence for universe expansion that supports the Big Bang Theory
xeze [42]

Question:

1) The universe is cooling which, according to the Big Bang Theory, is expected to happen as the cosmos accumulates.

2) The universe is warming which, according to the Big Bang Theory, is expected to happen as the cosmos disperses.

3) The universe is cooling which, according to the Big Bang Theory, is expected to happen as the cosmos disperses.

4) The universe is warming which, according to the Big Bang Theory, is expected to happen as the cosmos accumulates.​

Answer:

The correct option is;

3) The Universe is cooling which, according to the Big Bang Theory, is expected to happen as the cosmos disperses

Explanation:

With the temperature measurement carried out using the CSIRO radio telescope, Astronomers have been able to determine a temperature difference in the universe from 5.08 Kelvin 7.2 billion light years away to 2.73 Kelvin in the Universe today, which is in support of the Big Bang theory that as the Universe expanded from a state of extreme temperature that cools down as the Universe expands or the cosmos disperses.
