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!

A playground merry-go-round of radius 2.00 m has a moment of inertia I = 275 kg · m2 and is rotating about a frictionless vertic
ryzh [129]

Answer:

0.2932 rad/s

Explanation:

r = Radius = 2 m

I_i = Initial angular momentum = 275\ kgm^2

\omega_i = Initial angular velocity = 14 rev/min

I_f = Final angular momentum

\omega_f = Final angular velocity

Here the angular momentum of the system is conserved

I_i\omega_i=I_f\omega_f\\\Rightarrow 275\times 14\times \dfrac{2\pi}{60}=(275+275(2)^2)\omega_f\\\Rightarrow \omega_f=\dfrac{275\times 14\times \dfrac{2\pi}{60}}{275+275(2)^2}\\\Rightarrow \omega_f=0.2932\ rad/s

The final angular velocity is 0.2932 rad/s

6) If a mass of an object is decreased to half and acting force is reduced by quarter the acceleration of its motion
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

Decreases to half.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Initial mass (m₁) = m

Initial force (F₁) = F

Initial acceleration (a₁) =?

Final mass (m₂) = ½m

Final force (F₂) = ¼F

Final acceleration (a₂) =?

Next, we shall determine a₁. This can be obtained as follow:

F₁ = m₁a₁

F = ma₁

Divide both side by m

a₁ = F / m

Next, we shall determine a₂.

F₂ = m₂a₂

¼F = ½ma₂

2F = 4ma₂

Divide both side by 4m

a₂ = 2F / 4m

a₂ = F / 2m

Finally, we shall determine the ratio of a₂ to a₁. This can be obtained as follow:

a₁ = F / m

a₂ = F / 2m

a₂ : a₁ = a₂ / a₁

a₂ / a₁ = F/2m ÷ F/m

a₂ / a₁ = F/2m × m/F

a₂ / a₁ = ½

Cross multiply

a₂ = ½a₁

From the illustrations made above, the acceleration of the car will decrease to half the original acceleration

A glider with mass m = 0.230 kg sits on a frictionless horizontal air track, connected to a spring with force constant k = 4.50
loris [4]

Answer

given,

mass of glider = 0.23 Kg

spring constant = k = 4.50 N/m

spring stretched to 0.130 m

The springs potential energy =

 U = \dfrac{1}{2}kx^2

 U = \dfrac{1}{2}\times 4.5 \times 0.13^2

        U = 0.038 J

at x = 0,the only energy will be kinetic .

 \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=0.038

 \dfrac{1}{2}\times 0.23 \times v^2=0.038

         v² = 0.3304

         v = 0.575 m/s

displacement of the glider

      using conservation of energy

 \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2

 x =v\sqrt{\dfrac{m}{k}}

 x =3\times \sqrt{\dfrac{0.23}{4.5}}

        x = 0.678 m

A paper is placed in between two books can be quickly pulled out without movinf the books. whuch statement explains this phenome
Montano1993 [528]
This is easily explained saying that the frictional force between the books and the paper isn't big enough to produce a displacement in the books. The displacement in the books doesn't happen because the frictional force between the books and the surface they are standing on is bigger than the paper's one.
