A 2.74 g coin, which has zero potential energy at the surface, is dropped into a 12.2 m well. After the coin comes to a stop in

the mud, what is its potential energy with respect to the surface?

8 0

Answer:

- 0.328J

Explanation:

POTENTIAL ENERGY = mgh

                                   = 0.00274 × 9.81×12.2  here 2.74g = 0.00274kg

                                   = 0.32792868 J

                                   = 0.328J

AS IT IS BELOW THE SURFACE HENCE MUST BE NEGATIVE

hence potential energy = - 0.328J

REY [17]

Answer:

D.

Explanation:

Given that your boat departs from the bank of a river that has a swift current parallel to its banks. If you want to cross this river in the shortest amount of time, you should direct your boat: so that it drifts with the current.

If the boat moves perpendicular to the current, the current flow will be the resistance to the movement of the boat. So, it's better for the boat to drifts perpendicularly with the current.

The best answer is therefore option D.

The ocean’s tides are not only affected by the shape of the coastlines, or slope of the ocean floor, but also by the gravitation
dexar [7]

Answer:

a) According to Newton's law of gravitation, as the distance between the Moon and the Earth decreases, the gravitational attraction increases and vice versa

The gravitational force of the Moon on the Earth causes the Earth to be slightly bulged on the side directly facing the Moon

The gravitational force also pulls the water bodies on the Earth's surface towards the Moon in the same manner and the effect is more pronounced due to the ability of the liquid water to assume a shape based on the magnitude of the gravitational field attracting it

Therefore, the region where the Moon is closest to the Earth we have a high tide as the water level rises and the region which is perpendicular to where the Moon is located has a  low tide

b) The two special types of tides are

1) The neap tide

2) The spring tide

Neap tide

Neap tide occurs when the Sun and Moon are 90° apart from each other when they are viewed by an observer from Earth

The gravitational pull of the Sun cancels (partially) the effect of the gravitational pull and tidal force of the Moon, resulting in minimum tidal range

Spring Tide

Spring tide occurs when the Earth, the Moon, and the Sun are simultaneously inline, such that the Sun reinforces the gravitational pull and tidal force of the Moon, resulting in a maximum tidal range

What does this tell you about the direction and magnitude of the acceleration acting on the cannonball throughout its duration o
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

Direction remains the same but velocity changes.

Explanation:

This tell us about the direction and magnitude of the acceleration acting on the cannonball throughout its duration of flight that its direction remains the same but its magnitude of the acceleration is continuously changing. The cannonball moves in the direction in which the cannon was fired while the velocity is highest after the fire but decreases when goes higher and when it comes back to the ground so its velocity increases against so we can say that both positive and negative acceleration occurs. Positive acceleration means increase in the magnitude of velocity whereas negative acceleration means decrease in velocity.

If an object is rolling without slipping, how does its linear speed compare to its rotational speed?
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

v = rw

Explanation:

When an object is rolling continuously without slipping, then every angle it rotates through, is equal to a distance the perimeter has rotated.

If the object completes 10 revolutions and takes a particular time, let's say t to complete it. The angular distance would then be 20 π rad, while its angular velocity will be 20 π/t

The circumference will somehow translate to the distance it covers, which is 20πr, this means that the speed is 20πr/t

So, like the question asked, the linear speed compared to angular speed is

v : w

20πr/t : 20πt, which can be simplified to

r : 1

In essence, v = rw
