Explanation:

The mathematical expression for the gravitational potential energy (GPE) is given by :

$GPE=m\times g\times h$

Where

m is the mass of an object

g is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height

(a) Solve for m :

$m=\dfrac{GPE}{gh}$

(b) Solve for g :

$g=\dfrac{GPE}{mh}$

(c) Solve for h :

$h=\dfrac{GPE}{mh}$

Hence, this is the required solution.

Answer:

$v=0.9833\ c$

Explanation:

The density changes means that the length in the direction of the motion is changed.

Therefore,

$\text{Density} = \frac{m}{lwh}$

Given :

Side, b = h = 0.13 m

Mass, m = 3.3 kg

Density = 8100 $kg/m^3$

So,

$8100=\frac{3.3}{l \times 0.13 \times 0.13}$

$l=\frac{3.3}{8100 \times 0.13 \times 0.13}$

l = 0.024 m

Then for relativistic length contraction,

$l= l' \sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}$

$0.024= 0.13 \sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}$

$0.184= \sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}$

$0.033= 1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}$

$\frac{v^2}{c^2}= 0.967$

$\frac{v}{c}=0.9833$

$v=0.9833\ c$

Therefore, the speed of the observer relative to the cube is 0.9833 c (in the units of c).

Answer:

9654.34 m

Explanation:

from conservation of momentum

$\begin{aligned}30 \times 250 &=-10 \times 120+20 \times V \\20 V &=30 \times 250+10 * 120 \\V &=\frac{30 \times 250+10 \times 120}{20}=435 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\end{aligned}$

And from Conservation of Energy

$\frac{1}{2} m v^{2}=m g h\\h=\frac{v^{2}}{2 g}\\h=\frac{(435(m/s))^{2}}{2 \times 9.8(m/s^{2} )}\\h=9654.34 (m)$

In a home's central heating system, when the room temperature measured by the thermostat reaches a set value, the thermostat sen

shutvik [7]

These actions are an example of feedback.
Given that the room has reached the desired temperature, there is no more need for it to be heated, at least until the temperature drops a bit. This is why the thermostat sends feedback about this situation to the heater, which immediately switches off until it is needed again.

A stationary 15 kg object is located in a table near the surface of the earth. The coefficient of static friction between the su

Marta_Voda [28]

The net force acting on the object perpendicular to the table is

∑ F[perp] = F[normal] - mg = 0

where mg is the weight of the object. Then

F[normal] = mg = (15 kg) (9.8 m/s²) = 147 N

The maximum magnitude of static friction is then

0.40 F[normal] = 58.8 N

which means the applied 40 N force is not enough to make the object start to move. So the object has zero acceleration and does not move.
