A car is raised on a lift at a service station (so it has some amount of gravitational potential energy relative to the ground).

If it were raised twice as high, how much gravitational potential energy would it have compared with what it had at the first height?

Answer:Twice

Explanation:

It is given that car is raised on a lift with respect to ground.

Suppose car is raised by a height of h m from ground having mass m so gain in Potential Energy by car is

Gain in P.E._1=m\times g\times h

Now if it were raised twice as high,i.e. 2 h height from ground then gain in Gravitational Potential Energy

=m\times g\times 2h

P.E._2=2m\cdot g\cdot h

It is clear that P.E._2=2\cdot P.E._1

Thus in second case gain in Potential Energy is twice as compared to first case

With only a floor plan to reference, the designer would know what about a window.?
Studentka2010 [4]
They would only know the width of the window. A floor plan is like a top down view of a building. Imagine that you cut your house in half horizontally, and then looked down at it. All you would see would be the width of the windows, not the height or anything else.

A 6.0 m wire with a mass of 50 g, is under tension. A transverse wave, for which the frequency is 810 Hz, the wavelength is 0.40
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

a) t = 0.0185 s = 18.5 ms

b) T = 874.8 N

Explanation:

a)

First we find the seed of wave:

v = fλ

where,

v = speed of wave

f = frequency = 810 Hz

λ = wavelength = 0.4 m

Therefore,

v = (810 Hz)(0.4 m)

v = 324 m/s

Now,

v = L/t

where,

L = length of wire = 6 m

t = time taken by wave to travel length of wire

Therefore,

324 m/s = 6 m/t

t = (6 m)/(324 m/s)

<u>t = 0.0185 s = 18.5 ms</u>

<u></u>

b)

From the formula of fundamental frquency, we know that:

Fundamental Frequency = v/2L = (1/2L)(√T/μ)

v = √(T/μ)

where,

T = tension in string

μ = linear mass density of wire = m/L = 0.05 kg/6 m = 8.33 x 10⁻³ k gm⁻¹

Therefore,

324 m/s = √(T/8.33 x 10⁻³ k gm⁻¹)

(324 m/s)² = T/8.33 x 10⁻³ k gm⁻¹

<u>T = 874.8 N</u>

A large body collides with a stationary small body from the rear end. How do the bodies behave if the collision is inelastic?.
alexdok [17]
If the collision is inelastic, there is every possibility that the large body will drag the small stationary body along with it in the direction of the collision. Some amount of heat, light and sound energy will also be produced due to the kinetic energy of the large body. I hope the answer helps you.
