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 student drops two metallic objects into a 120-g steel container holding 150 g of water at 25°C. One object is a 206-g cube of
spayn [35]

Answer:

Mass of the aluminium chunk = 278.51 g

Explanation:

For an isolated system as given the energy lost and gains in the system will be zero therefore sum of all transfer of energy will be zero,as the temperature will also remain same

A specific heat formula is given as                  

Energy Change = Mass of liquid x Specific Heat Capacity x Change in temperature

                                       Q =  m×c×ΔT

                        Heat gain by aluminium + heat lost by copper  = 0    (1)

For Aluminium:

      Q = m\times0.897\frac{J}{g.k}\times(25-5)

      Q = m x 17.94 joule

For Copper:

Q= 206g\times0.385\frac{J}{g.k} \times(88-25)

       Q= 4996.53 Joule

from eq 1

     m x 17.94 = 4996.53

     mass of aluminium = \frac{4996.53}{17.94} g

    Mass of the aluminium chunk = 278.51 g

I have a question regarding friction in rolling without slipping.
Solnce55 [7]

Explanation:

They probably put "rolls without slipping" in there to indicate that there is no loss in friction; or that the friction is constant throughout the movement of the disk. So it's more of a contingency part of the explanation of the problem.

(Remember how earlier on in Physics lessons, we see "ignore friction" written into problems; it just removes the "What about [ ]?" question for anyone who might ask.)

In this case, you can't ignore friction because the disk wouldn't roll without it.

As far as friction producing a torque... I would say that friction is a result of the torque in this case. And because the point of contact is, presumably, the ground, the friction is tangential to the disk. Meaning the friction is linear and has no angular component.

(You could probably argue that by Newton's 3rd Law there should be some opposing torque, but I think that's outside of the scope of this problem.)

Hopefully this helps clear up the misunderstanding for you.
