How much potential energy does a 50-N box have when lifted at a height of 1.5M?

Physics

3 0

The correct answer is: Option (A) 75 J

Explanation:

First, be careful with the units here. As you can see it is mentioned that there is a 50N box. It means that the weight (<em>mg</em>) of the box is given as the unit is <em>Newton</em>, not its mass (which is in kg).

As,

Potential-energy = mass * acceleration-due-to-gravity * height

PE = m*g*h --- (A)


In equation (A), mg is actually the weight of the box, which is given.

mg = 50N

h = height = 1.5m

Plug the values in equation (A):

PE = 50 * 1.5  = <em>75 J (Option A)</em>

A bag of marbles is hanging motionless on a spring scale. What prevents the bag from falling?​
Tanya [424]

Answer:

The vector sum of all forces acting on it is zero, its at equilibrium.

Explanation:

The bag of marbles hanging on a spring scale applies its weight downwards, which was counterbalanced by the reaction from the spring scale (obeying the Newton's third law of motion). And since no external forces are applied to the system, thus the equilibrium of the system.

If the weight of the bag is greater than the reaction from the spring scale, the scale breaks and the system would not be balanced.

A strings. A 50 gram bullet, traveling horzontally, strikes the block and becomes embedded inside the block. Immediately after t
vazorg [7]

Answer:

u= 200 m/s

Explanation:

Given that

Mass of bullet ,m= 50 gm

Assume that mass of block ,M= 1.2 kg

Lets take speed of the bullet before collision = u m/s

The speed of the system after collision ,v= 8 m/s

There is no any external force ,that is why linear momentum of the system will be conserve.

Linear momentum ,P = mass x velocity

m u = (M+m)v

0.05 x u = (1.2 + 0.05 ) x 8

u= 200 m/s

Therefore the speed of the bullet just before the collision is 200 m/s.

A spinning top completes 6.00x10^3 rotations before it starts to topple over. The average speed of the rotations is 8.00x10^2 rp
Marianna [84]

Answer:

Explanation:

This is simple logic. If the top can spin 6000 times before it starts to topple, and each minute the top can spin 800 times,

6000/800 = 7.50 minutes
