5 0

Missing information:

The mass of the object is 15 kg.

Answer:

18.7 m

Explanation:

The gravitational potential energy of an object is given by

$U=mgh$

where

m is the mass of the object

g is the acceleration of gravity

h is the heigth of the object, relative to the ground

In this problem, we know:

U = 2750 J is the potential energy of the object

$g=9.8 m/s^2$

m = 15 kg is the mass of the object

Solving for h, we find the height of the shelf:

$h=\frac{U}{mg}=\frac{2750}{(15)(9.8)}=18.7 m$

How much did the temperature change between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m.?

yanalaym [24]

First take note that you're figuring 10am and 1pm. Their temperatures are 77 degrees and 83 degrees

To solve subtract 83-77=6

So it rose 6 degrees.

An electric heater used to boil small amounts of water consists of a 15-Ω coil that is immersed directly in the water. It operat

Allisa [31]

Answer:

t = 1120 seconds

Explanation:

Law of Conservation of Energy: It states that energy can neither be created or destroyed but it can be transformed from one form to another

The heater converts electric energy to heat energy.

According to the law of conservation of Energy,

Heat supplied by the heater = heat gained by the water.

Heat supplied by the heater = (V²/R)t, Where V = voltage, R = Resistance, t = Time.

Heat gained by the water = cm(θ₂ -θ₁)

Where c = specific heat capacity of water, m = mass of water, θ₂= final temperature of water, θ₁= initial temperature of water.

∴ (V²/R)t = cm(θ₂ -θ₁)

Making t the subject of the equation,

t = cm(θ₂ -θ₁) ×R/V²

Where c= 4200 Jkg/K, m=0.80 kg, R = 15 Ω, V = 60 V, θ₁= 20°C, θ₂ = the normal boiling point of water = 100°C

∴ t = (4200×0.8)(100 -20)×15/60²

t = (3360×80×15)/3600

t = 4032000/3600 = 1120 seconds

∴ The time required by the heater to raise the temperature of water to normal boiling point is 1120 seconds.

Two vertical springs have identical spring constants, but one has a ball of mass m hanging from it and the other has a ball of m

OverLord2011 [107]

To solve this problem we will start from the definition of energy of a spring mass system based on the simple harmonic movement. Using the relationship of equality and balance between both systems we will find the relationship of the amplitudes in terms of angular velocities. Using the equivalent expressions of angular velocity we will find the final ratio. This is,

The energy of the system having mass m is,

$E_m = \frac{1}{2} m\omega_1^2A_1^2$
