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

Physics
1 answer:
nikitadnepr [17]3 years ago
7 0

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 ! !

If two variables have a non-related relationship and one of the variables is changed, how will the other variable change?
PolarNik [594]

If one of the variables is changed, that tells nothing about what happens to the other one, or IF anything happens, or when, or how long it lasts. Because they are UN-RELATED. You just said so yourself.

None of the choices says this.

Compare the time period of two simple pendulums of length 4m and 16m at a place.
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

the period of the 16 m pendulum is twice the period of the 4 m pendulum

Explanation:

Recall that the period (T) of a pendulum of length (L)  is defined as:

T=2\,\pi\,\sqrt{ \frac{L}{g} }

where "g" is the local acceleration of gravity.

SInce both pendulums are at the same place, "g" is the same for both, and when we compare the two periods, we get:

T_1=2\,\pi\,\sqrt{\frac{4}{g} } \\T_2=2\,\pi\,\sqrt{\frac{16}{g} } \\ \\\frac{T_2}{T_1} =\sqrt{\frac{16}{4} } =2

therefore the period of the 16 m pendulum is twice the period of the 4 m pendulum.

A violin string vibrates at 260 Hz when unfingered. At what frequency will it vibrate if it is fingered one fourth of the way do
Advocard [28]

Answer:

346.66 Hz

Explanation:

l_1 = Length of string which is unfingered = l

l_2 = Length of string which is vibrate when fingered = l-\dfrac{1}{4}l=\dfrac{3}{4}l

f_1 = Unfingered frequency = 260 Hz

f_2 = Fingered frequency

Frequency is inversely proportional to length

f=\dfrac{1}{l}

So,

\dfrac{f_1}{f_2}=\dfrac{l_2}{l_1}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{f_1}{f_2}=\dfrac{\dfrac{3}{4}l}{l}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{f_1}{f_2}=\dfrac{3}{4}\\\Rightarrow f_2=\dfrac{4}{3}f_1\\\Rightarrow f_2=\dfrac{4}{3}260\\\Rightarrow f_2=346.66\ Hz

The frequency of the fingered string is 346.66 Hz

In this type of bond, electrons are lost or gained by atoms, and the atoms are held together by electrical attraction.
expeople1 [14]
<span>In Ionic type of bonding, electrons are lost (more protons than electrons and positive charge) or gained (more electrons than protons, still a negative charge) by atoms, and the atoms are held together by electrical attraction in the process. Covalent bondings are the sharing of electrons as well as partial bondings. Covalent bondings’ electrons have the same charges thus, there is no gaining or losing electrons in the process of sharing. Strong bondings are applicable only to Hydrogen (H) atoms. </span>
