A 24 kg rock is resting on the floor. How much potential energy does it have?

Physics

Relative to the floor it's resting on, its height is zero,
so its potential energy is zero.

Relative to the next floor down, its height could be
three or four meters, and it could have plenty of
potential energy ... if you cut out a circle in the floor
all around the rock, and let it fall to next floor down,
it could really do some damage.  Look out below ! !

krek1111 [17]

Answer:

All the observers are correct.

Explanation:

This is simply a problem of reference frames from which the motion of the book is being viewed by the various observers.

From their various reference frames, they are all correct.

Observer A must be in the inertial reference frame.

<em>Observers who can explain the behavior of the book  and the car by using the relationship between the sum of  the forces and changing velocity are said to be observers in inertial reference frames.</em>

This is clearly shown by what observer A noticed. There was a relative motion between the book and the car as she pointed out, making her to be in an inertial reference frame.

<em>Similarly, observers in inertial reference frames can also explain the changes in velocity of objects  by considering the forces exerted on them by other objects.</em>

This is shown by observer B as he is able to notice how the force of the car affects the velocity of the book.

Observer C is actually in a non-inertial reference frame, as newtons law of force motion relationship are no longer observed. This occurs in the non inertial reference frame.

What are stars made of?<br> How do they expand?<br> How do they explode?
lutik1710 [3]
Stars are made of very hot gas. This gas is mostly hydrogen and helium, which are the two lightest elements,  star is in a delicate and fragile balance between gravity, which would collapse the star to a point, and its internal pressure caused by the energy of the nuclear fusion reaction in the core. When a star's fuel has been spent, it explodes into a giant fireball known as a supernova.. I really hope this helps!!!!

A vacuum cleaner produces sound with a measured sound level of 75.0 dB. (a) What is the intensity of this sound in W/m2? W/m2 (b
jonny [76]

Answer:

Part a)

I = 3.16 \times 10^{-5} W/m^2

Part b)

P_o = 0.162 Pa

Explanation:

Part a)

Level of sound = 75 dB

now we know that

L = 10 Log\frac{I}{I_0}

here we know that

I_0 = 10^{-12} W/m^2

now we have

75 = 10 Log(\frac{I}{10^{-12}})

I = 3.16 \times 10^{-5} W/m^2

Part b)

Intensity of sound wave is given as

I = \frac{1}{2}\rho A^2\omega^2 c

here we know that

A = \frac{P_o}{Bk}

so we have

I = \frac{1}{2}\rho(\frac{P_o}{Bk})^2\omega^2 c

I = \frac{1}{2}\rho P_o^2 \frac{c^3}{B^2}

now we know

\rho = 1.2 kg/m^3

c = 340 m/s

B = 1.4 \times 10^5 Pa

now we have

3.16 \times 10^{-5} = \frac{1}{2}(1.2)P_o^2\frac{340^3}{(1.4\times 10^5)^2}

P_o = 0.162 Pa
