Answer:

Potential energy of the object is 111 Joules.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Force of gravity acting on the object, F =W=mg= 37 N, W is its weight

It is lifted to a height of 3 meters, h = 3 m

We need to find the potential energy of this object. It is given by :

$E=m\times g\times h$

Since, mg = 37 N

So,

$E=37\ N\times 3\ m$

E = 111 Joules

So, the potential energy of this object is 111 Joules. Hence, this is the required solution.

A dripping water faucet steadily releases drops 1.0 s apart. As these drops fall, does the distance between them increase, decre

ololo11 [35]

Answer:

Distance between them increase

Explanation:

The position S of the water droplet can be determined using equation of motion

$S=ut+\frac{1}{2} at^2$

where $u$ is the initial velocity which is zero here

$t$ is time taken, $a$ is acceleration due to gravity

the position of first drop after time $t$ is given by

$S_{1} =0 \times t+ \frac{1}{2} at^2=\frac{1}{2} at^2............(1)$

the position of next drop at same time is

$S_{2} =\frac{1}{2} a(t-1)^2 = \frac{1}{2} a(t^2+1-2t)............(2)$

distance between them is $S_{1} -S_{2}$ is $a(t-1)$

from the above the difference will increase with the time

If a transparent blue filter is placed over a camera lens, what happens to visible light entering it

Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

Explanation:

If you pass white light through a blue filter, then only blue color will appear on the other end. This is because a blue filter will only allow blue light through it. And will absorb other color. In other words the rest colors would disappear. Hence the camera would receive just blue light. This phenomenon is referred to as color by subtraction.

A sphere is charged with electrons to -6 x 10^-6C. How many electrons make up this charge? The elemental charge is 1.6 x 10^-19

just olya [345]

Answer:

$3.75*10^{-13}$ electrons

Explanation:

The total charge Q is the sum of the charge of the N electrons contained in the sphere:

$Q=N*q_{e}$

$q_{e}=-1.6*10^{-19}C$ charge of a electron

We solve to find N:

$N=\frac{Q}{q_{e}}=\frac{-6 x 10^{-6}}{-1.6 x 10^{-19}}=3.75*10^{-13}$

If a 80kg diver jumps off of a 5 m high dive into a regulation diving pool, how much should the temperature of the pool go up?

Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

The answer cannot be determined.

Explanation:

The energy of the diver when he hits the pool will be equal to its potential energy $mgh$ , and for the temperature of the pool to rise up, this energy has to be converted into the heat energy of the pool.

The change in temperature ${\Delta}T$ then will be

${\Delta}T=\frac{{\Delta}Q}{mc} .$

Where m is the mass of water in the pool, c is the specific heat capacity of water, and ${\Delta}Q$ is the added heat which in this case is the energy of the diver.

Since we do not know the mass of the water in the pool, we cannot make this calculation.
