We are given:

m1 = 300 grams
m2 = 500 grams
h1 = h2 = 2 meters

We have to determine the potential energy of both toy cars:

PE = mgh
PE1 = m1gh1
PE1 = 300 grams/1000g/kg * 9.81 m/s^2 * 2 meters
PE1 = 5.886 Joules

PE2 = m2gh2
PE2 = 500 grams/1000g/kg * 9.81 m/s^2 * 2 meters
PE2 = 9.81 Joules

PE2 - PE1 / PE2

9.81 - 5.886 Joules / 9.81 joules * 100 = 40.0%

Therefore, the 500-gram car is greater by 40% in terms of potential energy than the 300-gram car. This is because mass is directly proportional to the potential energy of an object.

Answer:

66.67% of 500 g Potential energy is greater than that of 300 g of Potential energy.

Explanation:

Height of 300 g mass=h_{1}= 2 m

Height of 500 g mass=h_{2}=2 m

h_{1}=h_{2}

and also gravity remains constant

hence

% of potential energy of 500 g greater than of 300 g=((500-300)/300)*100

% of potential energy greater=(2/3)*100

% of potential energy greater=66.67%

A 57 kg wagon is pulled with a constant net force of 38 N. Calculate the acceleration of the wagon. F = ma
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

<h2>0.67 m/s²</h2>

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object given it's mass and the force acting on it can be found by using the formula

a =  \frac{f}{m}  \\

f is the force

m is the mass

From the question we have

a =  \frac{38}{57} =  \frac{2}{3}   \\  = 0.666666...

We have the final answer as

<h3>0.67 m/s²</h3>

Hope this helps you

A sample of 5.6 L of a gas is at a pressure of 1.5 atm. If the volume of the gas is compressed to 4.8 L, what will the new press
Effectus [21]

Answer:

1.75atm

Explanation:

According to Boyle's law, the pressure P of a fixed mass of gas is inversely proportional to it's volume V provided that the temperature remains constant.

P\alpha \frac{1}{V}\\hence\\PV=constant

This implies the following;

P_1V_1=P_2V_2=...=P_nV_n............(1) Provided temperature is kept constant.

Given;

P_1=1.5atm\\V_1=5.6L\\P_2=?\\V_2=4.8L

From equation (1), we can write;

P_1V_1=P_2V_2\\hence\\1.5*5.6=P_2*4.8\\\\P_2=\frac{1.5*5.6}{4.8}\\\\P_2=1.75atm

Since all the units are consistent, there is no need for conversion.

Which device uses a rotating magnetic field to produce an electric current?
Kay [80]
<span>The correct answer is C) a motor.
In particular, we are talking about an AC motor, which produces an alternating current. In an AC motor, a coil is immersed in a rotating magnetic field. Due to the motion of the magnetic field,the angle between the direction of the field and the surface enclosed by the coil changes. As a result, the magnetic flux through the coil changes over time (the magnetic flux is given by:
</span>\phi=BAcos\theta<span>
where B is the intensity of the magnetic field, A is the area enclosed by the coil and </span>\theta<span> is the angle between the direction of B and the perpendicular to the plane of the coil). For Faraday-Newmann-Lenz law, this change in flux induces an electromotive force (emf) into the coil, according to:
</span>emf=- \frac{d \Phi}{dt}<span>
 where the numerator is the variation of magnetic flux and dt is the time interval. This emf in the coil produced an electrical current in the circuit.</span>

How does the digestive system interact with the following organ systems (circulatory, muscular and nervous system) to maintain h
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

The circulatory system breaks down food and gets / absorbs nutrients. The muscular system works to get nutrients to the rest of the body. The nervous system basically controls the digestive system and sends information to the brain.

I'm pretty sure I'm right, but please correct me if I'm wrong! :)
