Consider a system of an 85.0 kg man, his 14.5-kg dog, and the earth. The gravitational potential energy of the system increases

by 1.85 103 J when the man climbs a spiral staircase from the first to the second floor of an apartment building. If his dog climbs a normal staircase from the same first floor to the second floor, by how much does the potential energy of the system increase (in J)

Andrew [12]4 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Increase in gravitational potential energy = m x g x h

where m is mass , g is gravitational acceleration and h is height

In the first case when man climbs

increase in potential = 85 x g x h = 1.85 x 10³ J

gh = 21.7647

when dog climbs

increase in potential = 14.5 x g x h  J

= 14.5 x 21.7647

= 315.6 J

A car in motion has kinetic energy. What happens to the kinetic energy when the car brakes to a stop? The kinetic energy is tran
Pie

Answer:

<em>When a moving car brakes to a stop the </em><em>kinetic energy of the car is converted to heat energy. </em>

Explanation:

A moving car has kinetic energy.

It is given by the equation k=\frac{1}{2} mv^2

Where m denotes mass of the car and v denote sits velocity. When the brakes are applied the velocity becomes zero and the car doesn’t possess kinetic energy anymore.

According to law of conservation of energy can neither be created nor be destroyed but can only be transformed from one form to another. On coming to a stop,  the kinetic energy of the car  gets converted to heat. The friction between the tyre and the road heats up the tyre.

A long, straight, horizontal wire carries a left-to-right current of 40 A. If the wire is placed in a uniform magnetic field of
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

The magnitude of the resultant of the magnetic field is 4.11\times10^{-5}\ T

Explanation:

Given that,

Current = 40 A

Magnetic field B=3.7\times10^{-5}\ T

Distance = 22 cm

We need to calculate the magnetic field

Using formula of magnetic field

B'=\dfrac{\mu_{0}I}{2\pi r}

Where, r = distance

I = current

Put the value into the formula

B'=\dfrac{4\pi\times10^{-7}\times20}{2\pi\times0.22}

B'=1.8\times10^{-5}\ T

We need to calculate the magnitude of the resultant of the magnetic field

Using formula of resultant

B''=\sqrt{B^2+B'^2}

Put the value into the formula

B''=\sqrt{(3.7\times10^{-5})^2+(1.8\times10^{-5})^2}

B''=4.11\times10^{-5}\ T

Hence, The magnitude of the resultant of the magnetic field is 4.11\times10^{-5}\ T

If a girl carries groceries up a flight of stairs, is she doing work on the groceries? Explain.​
nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

Yes she is doing work. With or without the groceries, she is still doing work. She does more work with the groceries than without because Work is defined by F which is defined by mass. The mass increases with the groceries.

The work done is against the force of gravity.
