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

A rectangular plate is rotating with a constant angular speed about an axis that passes perpendicularly through one corner, as t
salantis [7]

Answer:

2.07

Explanation:

Since you didn't supply the drawing, here is what I assumed:

A is the corner opposite the axis of rotation

B is one of the remaining two corners

L1 is the side between A & B

Centripetal acceleration is given by:

ac = v^2 / r = (v / r) * (v / r) * r…………1

Also angular speed is

w = v / r,………….2

Substituting (2) in (1) gives:

ac = (v / r) * (v / r) * r……….3

= (v / r)^2 * r

= w^2 * r

Therefore, the angular acceleration at A and at B are given by:

acA = w^2 * rA……..4

acB = w^2 * rB……..5

It is given that:

acA = n * acB…………6

Substituting (4) and (5) into (6) gives:

w^2 * rA = n * w^2 * rB ……….7==>

rA = n * rB……..8

In terms of the sides L1 and L2:

rA = sqrt (L1^2 + L2^2)…….9

and

rB = L2…………10

Considering (8):

n * L2 = sqrt (L1^2 + L2^2)………11

Squaring both sides:

n^2 * L2^2 = L1^2 + L2^2……….12

Dividing by L2^2:

n^2 = L1^2 / L2^2 + L2^2 / L2^2…….13

= (L1 / L2)^2 + 1 ==>

n^2 - 1 = (L1 / L2)^2 ………14==>

L1 / L2 = sqrt (n^2 - 1) ………15

= sqrt (2.30^2 - 1)

= 2.07. . . . . . <<<=== the value of the ratio L1 / L2 when n = 2.30

I have a special thermos that has a vacuum chamber between my hot soup and its outside wall. Because my soup is isolated from it
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

C. My soup will cool down because of radiation.

Explanation:

Since, there is vacuum between hot soup and its outside wall, then heat can not flow through conduction and convection.

The heat then only flows through radiation.

Therefore, the soup will not cool down because of convection or conduction by because of radiation.

car 2 has a mass of 150 kg and moves westward towards car 3 at a velocity of 2.2 m/s. car 3 has a mass of 265 kg and moves eastw
sergejj [24]

Answer:

The force of car 3 on car 2 ≈ 1810.82 N

Explanation:

The equation for the change in momentum of the two cars are;

Conservation of linear momentum

150( 2.2 - v) = 265(1.5-v)

150 × 2.2 - 265×1.5 = (150+265)v

150 × 2.2 - 265×1.5 = -67.5 = 415×v

∴ v = -67.5/415 = -0.1627 m/s West = 0.1627 m/s East

The impulse of the net force is the amount of momentum change experienced given by the equation;

Impulse force = m \times  v_f - m \times  v_0

Where;

v_f = The final velocity

v_0 = The initial velocity

For the the 265 kg mass, we have;

v_f = 0.1627 m/s

v_0 = 1.5 m/s

Which gives the impulse a s F×Δt =  265×0.1627 - 265×1.5 = -354.38 kg·m/s

The change in kinetic energy of the collision = 1/2×265×(0.1627^2 - 1.5^2) =-294.62 J

Whereby the distance moved in one second is 0.1627 m, we have;

Work done = Force × Distance = Force × 0.1627 = 294.62

Force = 294.62/0.1627 = 1810.82 N.

PLZ HELP why do the planets move in a way that promotes life?​
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

Because plant means a life. Plants need foods and energy as same as human. So for a plant mostly need sun light and water.

They need water because water is collected through root of the plant and absorbed from the soil.

They need sun light because do the process of photosynthesis and plants need other gasses well as water and sun light for live and survive.
