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

1 answer:

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 ! !

A charged box ( m = 495 g, q = + 2.50 μ C ) is placed on a frictionless incline plane. Another charged box ( Q = + 75.0 μ C ) is

Rudik [331]

Answer:

$a=16.2m/s^{2}$

Explanation:

From the attached file diagram, the total force acting on the charged box is the downward weight and the repulsive force acting in opposite to the weight force . Hence we can write the total force as

$F=masin\alpha -\frac{kQq}{r^{2}} \\\alpha =35^{0}, m=0.495kg, r=0.61m, Q=2.5*10^{-6}, q=75.0*10^{-6}\\$

When fixed,F=o

Hence

$masin\alpha =\frac{kQq}{r^{2}}\\0.495kg*asin35=\frac{9*10^{9}*2.5*10^{-6}*75.0*10^{-6}}{0.61^{2}} \\0.28a=4.5351\\a=\frac{4.5351}{0.28}\\\\ a=16.2m/s^{2}$

The value of the acceleration is 16.2m/s^2

A 250 g block of ice is removed from the refrigerator at -8.0°C. How much thermal energy does the ice absorb as it warms to room

zlopas [31]

Answer:

Q = 114895 J

Explanation:

To find the thermal energy gained by the ice you use the following formula:

$Q=mc(T_2-T_1)+H_f\ m$

m: mass of the ice = 0.250kg

T2: final temperature = 22°C

T1: initial temperature = -8.0°C

Hf: heat of fusion of water = 3.34*10^5 J/kg

c: specific heat of water = 4186 J/kg

By replacing the values of the parameters you have:

$Q=(0.250kg)(4186J/kg\°C)(22+8)\°C+(3.34*10^5 J/kg)(0.250kg)\\\\Q=114895\ J$

where you have considered that ice melts completely
