Answer:

The Energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position or state is called Potential energy.

Mathematically potential energy can be written as,

Potential energy = mgh

Where 'm' represents mass of the body, 'g' represents gravity of the earth and 'h' represents height of body. Potential energy depends on the height, higher the hight from the surface of the earth, maximum will be the potential energy.

Calculate the force at sea level that a boy of mass 50 kg exerts on a chair in which he is sitting.

kogti [31]

As per the question the mass of the boy is 50 kg.

The boy sits on a chair.

We are asked to calculate the force exerted by the boy on the chair at sea level.

The force exerted by boy on the chair while sitting on it is nothing else except the force of gravity of earth i.e the weight of the body .The direction of that force is vertically downward.

At sea level the acceleration due to gravity g = 9.8 m/s^2

Hence the weight of the boy $w = mg$ [m is the mass of the body]

we have m = 50 kg.

Hence w = 50 kg ×9.8 m/s^2

=490 N kg m/s^2

= 490 N

Here newton [N] is the unit of force.

An 8.00- W resistor is dissipating 100 watts. What are the current through it and the difference of potential across it?

hjlf

Answer:

I= 3.5 amps

Explanation:

Step one:

given data

rating of resistor R= 8 ohms

power P= 100W

Required

The current I

Step two

Yet this power is also given by

$P = I^2R$

make I subject of the formula we have

$I= \sqrt{\frac{P}{R} }$

substitute

$I= \sqrt{\frac{100}{8} }\\\\I=\sqrt{12.5}\\\\I= 3.5 amps$

Which situation best describes the act of reducing? paying bills online instead of sending paper through the mail donating gentl

Ugo [173]

In my opinion, i think the first one is the best one since we're cutting down on paper wasted in mails when its better to do it online.

An Alaskan rescue plane traveling 41 m/s drops a package of emergency rations from a height of 192 m to a stranded party of expl

svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

a)The package strikes 256.2 m in the ground relative to the point directly below where it was released

b) The horizontal component will not change it remains same as 41 m/s

c) Vertical component of velocity = 61.41 m/s

Explanation:

a) Consider the vertical motion of plane,

We have equation of motion, s = ut + 0.5 at²

Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

Displacement, s = 192 m

Acceleration, a = 9.81 m/s²

Substituting

s = ut + 0.5 at²

192 = 0 x t + 0.5 x 9.81 x t²

t = 6.26 seconds

Now we need to find horizontal distance traveled in 6.26 seconds by the package.

We have equation of motion, s = ut + 0.5 at²

Initial velocity, u = 41 m/s

Time, t = 6.26 s

Acceleration, a = 0 m/s²

Substituting

s = ut + 0.5 at²

s = 41 x 6.26 + 0.5 x 0 x 6.26²

s = 256.52 m

The package strikes 256.2 m in the ground relative to the point directly below where it was released

b) The horizontal component will not change it remains same as 41 m/s

c) We have equation of motion, v = u+ at

Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

Time, t = 6.26 s

Acceleration, a = 9.81 m/s²

Substituting

v = u+ at

v = 0 + 9.81 x 6.26 = 61.41 m/s

Vertical component of velocity = 61.41 m/s

An important dimensionless parameter in certain types of fluid flow problems is the Froude number defined as V/√g.l where V is a

prohojiy [21]

Answer:

1.24611

Explanation:

V = Velocity = 10 ft/s

L = Length = 2 ft

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 32.2 ft/s²

Froude number is given by

$Fr=\dfrac{V}{\sqrt{gL}}\\\Rightarrow Fr=\dfrac{10}{\sqrt{32.2\times 2}}\\\Rightarrow Fr=1.24611$

Converting to SI units

$10\ ft/s=10\times \dfrac{1}{3.281}$

$32.2\ ft/s^2=32.2\times \dfrac{1}{3.281}$

$2\ ft=2\times \dfrac{1}{3.281}$

$Fr=\dfrac{V}{\sqrt{gL}}\\\Rightarrow Fr=\dfrac{10\times \dfrac{1}{3.281}}{\sqrt{32.2\times \dfrac{1}{3.281}\times 2\times \dfrac{1}{3.281}}}\\\Rightarrow Fr=1.24611$

The Froude number is 1.24611

The Froude number is equal. The Froude number is dimensionless as the units cancel each other. In order for this to happen the units used need to be consitent either imperial or SI.
