What is the gravitational potential energy of a ball with a weight of 72 N when it is sitting on a shelf 1.4 m above the floor?

First you must convert the weight to mass. So:

W = mg (assuming that gravity is 9.8 Nkg-1)

m = W/g
= 72 / 9.8
= 7.3kg

Then we can use Ep = mgh

= 7.3*9.8*1.4

= 100.1N

A 2.00-kg rock has a horizontal velocity of magnitude 12.0 m>s when it is at point P in Fig. E10.35. (a) At this instant, wha
zaharov [31]

Answer:

(A) L = 115.3kgm²/s

(B) dL/dt = 94.1kgm²/s²

Explanation:

The magnitude of the angular momentum of the rock is given by the foemula

L = mvrSinθ

We have been given θ = 36.9°, m = 2.0kg, v = 12.0m/s and r = 8.0m.

Therefore L = 2.00 × 12 × 8.0 × Sin 36.9° =

115.3 kgm²/s

(B) The magnitude of the rate of angular change in momentum is given by

dL /dt = d(mvrSinθ)/dt = mgrSinθ = 2.00 × 9.8 × 8.0× Sin36.9 = 94.1kgm²/s²

What is the difference between acceleration due to gravity and gravitational force?​
ollegr [7]

Answer:

Gravity.” or “Gravity causes the moon to orbit the earth.” “Acceleration due to gravity” is much more precise. It is the acceleration that an object experiences when it is dropped with no other external forces on it. ... Near the surface of the earth the acceleration due to gravity is about 9.8

An electromagnetic wave of wavelength 435 nm is traveling in vacuum in the —z direction. The electric field has an amplitude of
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

a) 6.9*10^14 Hz

b) 9*10^-12 T

Explanation:

From the question, we know that

435 nm is given as the wavelength of the wave, at the same time, we also know that the amplitude of the electric field, E(max) has been given to be 2.7*10^-3 V/m

a)

To find the frequency of the wave, we would be applying this formula

c = fλ, where c = speed of light

f = c/λ

f = 3*10^8 / 435*10^-9

f = 6.90*10^14 Hz

b) again, to find the amplitude of the magnetic field, we would use this relation

E(max) = B(max) * c, magnetic field amplitude, B(max) =

B(max) = E(max)/c

B(max) = 2.7*10^-3 / 3*10^8

B(max) = 9*10^-12 T

c) and lastly,

1T = 1 (V.s/m^2)
