Doubling an object’s height will have what effect on its potential energy due to gravity?

Physics

Answer:

doubled

Explanation:

The energy possessed by the virtue of position or configuration of the body is called potential energy of the body.

The formula for the potential energy is given by

P.E = m g h

Where, m be the mass of the body, g be the acceleration due to gravity and h be the height.

So, if the height is doubled, the potential energy is also doubled.

Potential energy due to gravity = Ep = mgh [symbols have their usual meaning ]
Evidently, HALVING the mass will make Ep , HALF its previous value. So, It will be halved.

xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

1. 20.54m/s

2. 1.52s

Explanation:

QUESTION 1:

The speed the stone impact the ground is the final speed/velocity, which can be calculated using the formula:

v² = u² + 2as

Where;

v = final velocity (m/s)

u = initial velocity (m/s)

a = acceleration due to gravity (m/s²)

s = distance (m)

From the provided information, u = 5.65m/s, v = ?, s = 19.9m, a = 9.8m/s²

v² = 5.65² + 2 (9.8 × 19.9)

v² = 31.9225 + 2 (195.02)

v² = 31.9225 + 390.04

v² = 421.9625

v = √421.9625

v = 20.5417

v = 20.54m/s

QUESTION 2:

Using v = u + at

Where v = final velocity (m/s) = 20.54m/s

t = time (s)

u = initial velocity (m/s) = 5.65m/s

a = acceleration due to gravity (m/s²)

v = u + at

20.54 = 5.65 + 9.8t

20.54 - 5.65 = 9.8t

14.89 = 9.8t

t = 14.89/9.8

t = 1.519

t = 1.52s

A 17-mm-wide diffraction grating has rulings of 530 lines per millimeter. White light is incident normally on the grating. What
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

377 nm

Explanation:

Number of lines per meter is, N &=530 \times 1000 \\ &=530000 \text { lines } / \mathrm{m} \end{aligned}

Grating element is, d=\frac{1}{N}

=1.8868 \times 10^{-6} \mathrm{~m}[tex]
Order is, n=5
Condition for maximum intensity is, [tex]d \sin \theta=n \lambda

 \lambda &=\frac{1.8868 \times 10^{-6}}{5(\sin 90)} \\
&=0.377 \times 10^{-6} \mathrm{~m} \\
&=377 \mathrm{~nm}

A basketball player makes a jump shot. The 0.630-kg ball is released at a height of 1.80 m above the floor with a speed of 7.09
N76 [4]

mass of the ball m = 0.63 kg

initial height h = 1.8 m

final height h ' = 3.03 m

initial speed v = 7.09 m / s

final speed v ' = 4.21 m / s

Let the work done on the ball by air resistance W = ?

we know from law of conservation of energy ,

total energy at height h + work done by air = total energy at height h '

  mgh + ( 1/ 2) mv^ 2 + W = mgh ' + ( 1/ 2) mv'^ 2

0.630*9.8*1.8 + 0.63*7.09^2 + W = mgh ' + ( 1/ 2) mv'^ 2

From there you can find W

if there is negative sign indicates it work opposite direction to motion
