Answer:

Explanation:

Potential energy is the energy of a body due to is virtue of rest.

Potential energy is given as mgh

g is a constant and it is 9.81m/s²

And also the mass of the body is given as 1.3kg

Now the height of the body is

He took a book to a storey building of height 26m

He still holds the book 151 cm (1.51m) above the house.

The house is on an altitude of 1609m from the sea level.

Total Ug with out the sea level is

Ug=mgh

Ug=1.3 × 9.81 ×(26+1.51)

Ug=350.84J

Then, the potential energy due to the sea level is given as

Ug=mgh

Where g = 1/6371 m/s²

Therefore

Ug=mgh

Ug=1.3 × 1/6371 ×1609

Ug=0.328J

Total energy = 0.328+350.84

Ug=351.17J

A spring stretches 2.6 cm when a 7 g object is hung from it. The object is replaced with a block of mass 28 g which oscillates i
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

period = 0.65 sec

Explanation:

from the question we are given the following

extension (x) = 2.6 cm = 0.026 m

mass of object (Mo) = 7 g = 0.007 kg

mass of block (Mb) = 28 g = 0.028 g

acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s^{2}

period = 2π x \sqrt{\frac{Mb}{k}}

where k is the spring constant of the spring

and k = \frac{Mo x g}{x}

k =  \frac{0.007 x 9.8}{0.026}

k = 2.64 N/m

now period = 2π x \sqrt{\frac{0.028}{2.64}}

period = 0.65 sec

A bicycle has a momentum of 50.00 kg·m/s and a velocity of 5.0 m/s. What is the bicycle’s mass?
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

10 kilograms

Explanation:

The formula for mass

mass (kg)= momentum ( p) divided by velocity (v)

therefore this translates to 50 divided by 5

which gives the final answer as <u>10kgs</u>

you ask people to rate there depression on a scale of 1 to 10 their respnses are a (n)___in your study. a.variable b.discrete v
8090 [49]
The answer is A) variable. The depression level is a value that varies with the respondents and may inform you about the relationship between depression and other variables, such as alcohol use or sleep habits. It is also likely a discrete variable, since the answer is probably an integer (1, 2, ... 10), rather than a continuous spectrum (virtually any number between 1 and 10).

An autotransformer is used to reduce the voltage of a 100-kilovolt amp, 480-volt secondary of an isolated type transformer, to s
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

42KVA

Explanation:

Given data

High Voltage (HV)= 480V

Low Voltage (LV)= 277V

Fo find

Size of transformer=?

Solution

To find the size of transformer here we use the co-ratio.The Co-ratio is given as:

Co-Ratio= (HV - LV)/HV

where

HV is High Voltage

LV is Low Voltage

Now put the values we get

Co- Ratio=(480-277)/480=.42

So the size of transformer is 42KVA
