Calculate ine gravitational potential energy of the ball using pe=m×g×h.(use g=9.8 n/kg)

Neko [114]

Answer:

58.8J

Explanation:

Given parameters;

Mass of ball = 4kg

Height above the floor = 1.5m

g = 9.8n/kg

Unknown:

Potential energy = ?

Solution:

The potential energy of a body is the energy due to the position of the body.

It is mathematically expressed as:

Potential energy = mass x acceleration due to gravity x height

Potential energy = 4 x 9.8 x 1.5 = 58.8J

Problem 9: Suppose you wanted to charge an initially uncharged 85 pF capacitor through a 75 MΩ resistor to 90.0% of its final vo

Bingel [31]

Answer:

$t=14.678\times 10^{-3}s$

Explanation:

Given:

Capacitance, C = 85 pF = 85 × 10⁻¹² F

Resistance, R = 75 MΩ = 75×10⁶Ω

Charge in capacitor at any time 't' is given as:

$Q=Q_o(1-e^{-\frac{t}{RC}})$

where,

Q₀ = Maximum charge = CE

E = Initial voltage

t = time

also, Q = CV

V= Final voltage = 90% of E = 0.9E

thus, we have

$C\times 0.9E=CE(1-e^{-\frac{t}{75\times 10^6\ \times\ 85\times 10^{-12}}})$

$0.9=1-e^{-\frac{t}{75\times 10^6\ \times\ 85\times 10^{-12}}}$

$e^{-\frac{t}{75\times 10^6\ \times\ 85\times 10^{-12}}}=1-0.9=0.1$

taking log both sides, we get

$ln(e^{-\frac{t}{75\times 10^6\ \times\ 85\times 10^{-12}}})=ln(0.1)=ln(\frac{1}{10})$

$-\frac{t}{75\times 10^6\ \times\ 85\times 10^{-12}}=-ln(10)$

$t=75\times 10^6\ \times\ 85\times 10^{-12}\times ln{10}$

$t=14.678\times 10^{-3}s$

If a cannonball is fired horizontally it will not go in a straight line why?

goldfiish [28.3K]

Explanation:

A projectile (Cannon ball) is launched at an angle to the horizontal and rises up to a peak while moving horizontally. When it reaches the peak, the projectile starts to fall.

How long does it take (in minutes) for light to reach venus from the sun, a distance of 1.152 × 108 km?

7nadin3 [17]

Using the precise speed of light in a vacuum ( $299,792,458 \ \frac{m}{s}$ ), and your given distance of $1.152 * 10^{8} km$ , we can convert and cancel units to find the answer. The distance in m, using $\frac{1000 \ m}{1 \ km}$ , is $1.152 * 10^{11} m$ . Next, for the speed of light, we convert from s to min, using $\frac{1 \ min}{60 \ s}$ , so we divide the speed of light by 60. Finally, dividing the distance between the Sun and Venus by the speed of light in km per min, we find that it is 6.405 min.
