Answer:

1225 J

Explanation:

The Gravitational potential energy (PEG) gained by a mass lifted above the ground is given by

$PE=mgh$

where

m is the mass

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height at which the object has been lifted

In this problem, we have

m = 250 kg

h = 0.5 m

So, the PE of the object is

$PE=(250 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)(0.5 m)=1225 J$

Why are the outlets in homes never wired in series? What problems might this present?

rosijanka [135]

A series circuit means that there is only one current. Which means that everything is sharing that one wire. Homes are normally wired with a parallel circuit, which means that there is more than one current running through the house. If you have a series, if you turn on one thing for example a light switch, than everything will turn on with it. But of you have a parallel you can turn on everything one by one, and save energy.

Trust me. I just took my semester test in physical science this morning, and I passed. This is exactly what we learned. <span />

A current of 9 A flows through an electric device with a resistance of 43 Ω. What must be the applied voltage in this particular

lubasha [3.4K]

Voltage, V = IR

Where I is current in Ampere, R is Resistance in Ohms.

V = 9A * 43 Ω

V = 387 V

A ball of moist clay falls 17.3 m to the ground. It is in contact with the ground for 24.0 ms before stopping. (a) What is the a

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

Acceleration, $767.08\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

Given that,

Height from a ball falls the ground, h = 17.3 m

It is in contact with the ground for 24.0 ms before stopping.

We need to find the average acceleration the ball during the time it is in contact with the ground.

Firstly, find the velocity when it reached the ground. So,

$v^2=u^2+2ah$

u = initial velocity=0 m/s

a = acceleration=g

$v=\sqrt{2gh} \\\\v=\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 17.3} \\\\v=18.41\ m/s$

It is in negative direction, u = -18.41 m/s

Let a is average acceleration of the ball. Consider, v = and u = -18.41 m/s.

$a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}\\\\a=\dfrac{0-18.41}{24\times 10^{-3}}\\\\a=767.08\ m/s^2$

So, the average acceleration of the ball during the time it is in contact is $767.08\ m/s^2$ .
