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 ! !

You wish to produce an emf of 41.0 mV using an inductor whose inductance is 13.0 H. You start with a current of 1.50 mA through
Molodets [167]

Answer:

The current through the inductor at the end of 2.60s is 9.7 mA.

Explanation:

Given;

emf of the inductor, V = 41.0 mV

inductance of the inductor, L = 13 H

initial current in the inductor, I₀ = 1.5 mA

change in time, Δt = 2.6 s

The emf of the inductor is given by;

V = L\frac{di}{dt} \\\\V = \frac{L(I_1-I_o)}{dt} \\\\L(I_1-I_o) = V*dt\\\\I_1-I_o = \frac{V*dt}{L}\\\\I_1 =  \frac{V*dt}{L} + I_o\\\\I_1 = \frac{41*10^{-3}*2.6}{13} +1.5*10^{-3}\\\\I_1 = 8.2*10^{-3} + 1.5*10^{-3}\\\\I_1 = 9.7 *10^{-3} \ A\\\\ I_1 = 9.7 \ mA

Therefore, the current through the inductor at the end of 2.60 s is 9.7 mA.

You will now examine the relationship between the number of field lines through a surface and the tangle betwcen A and E) angle
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

a. cosθ b. E.A

Explanation:

a.The electric flux, Φ passing through a given area is directly proportional to the number of electric field , E, the area it passes through A and the cosine of the angle between E and A. So, if we have a surface, S of surface area A and an area vector dA normal to the surface S and electric field lines of field strength E passing through it, the component of the electric field in the direction of the area vector produces the electric flux through the area. If θ the angle between the electric field E and the area vector dA is zero ,that is θ = 0, the flux through the area is maximum. If  θ = 90 (perpendicular) the flux is zero. If θ = 180 the flux is negative. Also, as A or E increase or decrease, the electric flux increases or decreases respectively. From our trigonometric functions, we know that 0 ≤ cos θ ≤ 1 for  90 ≤ θ ≤ 0 and -1 ≤ cos θ ≤ 0 for 180 ≤ θ ≤ 90. Since these satisfy the limiting conditions for the values of our electric flux, then cos θ is the required trigonometric function. In the attachment, there is a graph which shows the relationship between electric flux and the angle between the electric field lines and the area. It is a cosine function  

b. From above, we have established that our electric flux, Ф = EAcosθ. Since this is the expression for the dot product of two vectors E and A where E is the number of electric field lines passing through the surface and A is the area of the surface and θ the angle between them, we write the electric flux as Ф = E.A

A microphone is located on the line connecting two speakers that are 0.513 m apart and oscillating in phase. The microphone is 1
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

frequency 1 = 334.30 Hz

frequency 2 = 1002.92 Hz

Explanation:

Given data

speaker distance y = 0.513 m

microphone distance D = 1.80 m

to find out

lowest two frequencies

solution

we know velocity of sound is 343 m/s

so we consider point x

so at 1st speaker distance from x   = D + (y/2)

1st speaker distance from x   = 1.80 + (0.513/2) = 2.0565 m   .....1

and

at 2nd speaker distance from x   = D - (y/2)

2nd speaker distance from x   = 1.80 - (0.513/2) = 1.5435 m     .........2

so destructive interference from 1 and 2  we know

1st - 2nd = ( m + 0.5 ) wavelength

2.0565 m - 1.5435 m = (  0+ 0.5) wavelength

wavelength  = 1.026 m

so here 1st min frequency will be

frequency 1 = velocity of sound / wavelength

frequency 1 = 343 / 1.026 =334.30 Hz

and

2nd  min frequency will be

frequency 2 =

2.0565 m - 1.5435 m = (  1 + 0.5) wavelength

wavelength  = 0.342 m

frequency 2 =  velocity of sound / wavelength

frequency 2 = 343 / 0.342 = 1002.92 Hz

A roller coaster starts from rest at its highest point and then descends on its (frictionless) track. its speed is 40 m/s when i
Alenkinab [10]

Given that,

Initial velocity , Vi = 0

Final velocity , Vf = 40 m/s

Acceleration due to gravity , a = 9.81 m/s²

Distance can be calculated as,

2as = Vf² - Vi²

2 * 9.81 *s = 40² - 0²

s = 81.55 m

For half height, that is, s = 40.77m

Vf= ??

2as = Vf² - Vi²

2 * 9.81 * 40.77 = Vf² - 0²

Vf² = 800

Vf = 28.28 m/s

Therefore, speed of roller coaster when height is half of its starting point will be 28 m/s.
