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.

Why does Energy appear continuous in everyday life?

lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

The first law of thermodynamics, also known as Law of Conservation of Energy, states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed; energy can only be transferred or changed from one form to another. For example, turning on a light would seem to produce energy; however, it is electrical energy that is converted. Nothing happens to the energy. It does not change form, since energy has no form. ... If the energy was moving, it gets stored or re-transmitted elsewhere. Using energy means controlling its movement, rather than consuming it.

Calculate the heat, in kilocalories, that is absorbed if 183 g of ice at 0.0 ∘C is placed in an ice bag, melts, and warms to bod

boyakko [2]

Answer:

The total amount of heat needed will be $Q_T=21.411kcal$ .

Explanation:

We will divide the calculation in two: First, the heat needed to melt the ice, and then the heat needed to warm the resulting liquid from 0°C to 37°C.

$m=183g$

$l_f=80\frac{cal}{g} =334\frac{J}{g}$

$l_w=1\frac{cal}{g} =4.184\frac{J}{g}$

<em>i) </em>The fusion heat will be:

$Q_f=l_fm=14640cal=14.640kcal$

<em>ii)</em> The heat needed to warm the water from $T_i=0^{\circ}C$ to $T_i=37^{\circ}C$ will be:

$Q_w=l_wm(T_f-T_i)=6771cal=6.771kcal$

So, the total amount needed will be the sum of these two results:

$Q_T=Q_f+Q_w=14.640kcal+6.771kcal=21.411kcal$ .

A 20-gram bullet traveling at 250 m/s strikes a block of wood that weighs 2 kg. With what velocity will the block and bullet mov

Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

the velocity of the bullet-wood system after the collision is 2.48 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the bullet, m₀ = 20 g = 0.02 kg

velocity of the bullet, v₀ = 250 m/s

mass of the wood, m₁ = 2 kg

velocity of the wood, v₁ = 0

Let the velocity of the bullet-wood system after collision = v

Apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum to calculate the final velocity of the system;

Initial momentum = final momentum

m₀v₀ + m₁v₁ = v(m₀ + m₁)

0.02 x 250 + 2 x 0 = v(2 + 0.02)

5 + 0 = v(2.02)

5 = 2.02v

v = 5/2.02

v = 2.48 m/s

Therefore, the velocity of the bullet-wood system after the collision is 2.48 m/s

fiasKO [112]

Answer:

636.619772368 A

Explanation:

$\tau$ = Torque = $1\times 10^{-3}\ N/m$

B = Magnetic field of Earth = $5\times 10^{-5}\ T$

A = Area

d = Diameter = 20 cm

Current is given by

$I=\dfrac{\tau}{BA}\\\Rightarrow I=\dfrac{1\times 10^{-3}}{5\times 10^{-5}\times \dfrac{\pi}{4}\times 0.2^2}\\\Rightarrow I=636.619772368\ A$

The current is 636.619772368 A

Carbon has six protons. which model shows a neutral atom of carbon?

Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

Hi myself Shrushtee

Explanation:

Neutral carbon-12 (or any carbon atom) has 6 electrons with a total negative charge of 6e- orbiting a nucleus with a total positive charge of 6e+, so that the total net charge is zero. The nucleus is made up of 6 protons, each with a positive charge of e+, and 6 neutrons, each with zero charge.
