Sophia is planning on going down an 8-m water slide. Her weight is 50 N. She knows that she has gravitational potential energy (

GPE) at various points on the slide. At each point, her GPE can be found by using an equation.
GPE = weight × height above ground

Explain the relationship between GPE and height as height increases. Provide another example of this explanation. Then, infer what happens to Sophia’s kinetic energy if her GPE decreases.

Pepsi [2]4 years ago

Answer:The higher up an object is the greater its gravitational potential energy. The larger the distance something falls through the greater the amount of GPE the object loses as it falls. As most of this GPE gets changed into kinetic energy, the higher up the object starts from the faster it will be falling when it hits the ground.  So a change in gravitational potential energy depends on the height an object moves through.

Explanation: Lifting an apple up 1 metre is easier work than lifting an apple tree the same height. This is because a tree has more mass, so it needs to be given more gravitational potential energy to reach the same height.

A force that varies with time is applied to an object. The force increases linearly from zero to twenty-four newtons during the
harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

144Ns

Explanation:

Impulse is the product of force and change in time or a measure of the change in momentum. Mathematically, Impulse is given as

J = FΔt

Where

J = Impulse,

F = Force,

Δt = change in time.

Due to the varying force, we know that the impulse varies at different points in the motion. Hence, the Net Impulse will be the addition of the individual impulses, i.e.

J = ΣJᵢ

J = J₁ + J₂ + J₃

J = F₁Δt₁ + F₂Δt₂ + F₃Δt₃

=> J = (24*2) + (24*4) + (0*2)

J = 48 + 96 + 0

J = 144 Ns

A 1.0 kg object is attached to a string 0.50 m. It is twirled in a horizontal circle above the ground at a speed of 5.0 m/s.
zysi [14]

Answer: d

Explanation:

For an object to move in a uniform circular motion, only force that acts on it is the centripetal force which acts along the line joining the object and center of the circular path. The acceleration also acts in the direction of force. The centripetal acceleration acts along the radius of the circular motion path.

In the given horizontal circle, the direction of the acceleration of the object points towards d.

A mystery element has three isotopes of the following masses and percent abundances: 93.597 amu at 23.63 % abundance, 96.191 amu
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

92.397amu

Explanation: The exact amu of the mystery element is obtained by multiplying the relative abundance of each individual isotope by  its respective amu and then summing the results.

The sum of the total relative abundance for all the isotopes should be 100%.

However, the relative abundance of the isotope with 95.502amu is not given; therefore to obtain it we subtract the sum of the known relative abundances from 100% as follows:

Relative abundance of isotope with 95.502amu = 100-(23.63+30.53) = 42.84%

How do i figure out the net force of an object? explain please :)
Savatey [412]
Draw a free body diagram to help you visualize. draw the object and use arrows to label and determine where all the forces acting upon it will be. then u add up the sum of all forces. if two forces of equal magnitude and opposite directions will cancel each other out.
