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

Physics
1 answer:
nikitadnepr [17]4 years ago
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 speed truck locks it’s brakes and it skids to a stop. If the truck’s total mass were doubled, it’s skidding distance would be?
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

The skidding distance would be doubled

Explanation:

When the truck applies the brakes and slows down, its motion is a uniformly accelerated motion, so its skidding distance can be found by using the suvat equation

v^2-u^2=2as

where

v = 0 is the final velocity (zero since the truck comes to a stop)

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

s is the skidding distance

The acceleration can also be written as

a=\frac{F}{m}

where F is the force applied by the brakes and m the mass of the truck. Substituting into the previous equation,

-u^2 = 2\frac{F}{m}s\\s = -\frac{mu^2}{2F}

We see that the skidding distance is proportional to the mass: therefore, if the mass of the truck is doubled, the skidding distance will double as well.

How much electrical potential energy is stored in a capacitor that has 8.0 × 10-10 C of charge on each plate and a potential dif
arsen [322]
THere is a standard relationship that gives this result where the capacity of the capacitor is used:
E=1/2* \frac{Q^2}{C}.
We know though that Q/c=V and thus we can use the relationship:
E=Q*V/2 where we have just substituted in. If we also take into account that Q=VC, we can also get that E=V^2*C/2.
We are given the charge and the potential, so the best expression to use is the middle one.
Substituting, we get that E=1/2*8*10^(-10)*20=8*10^(-9).

The answer is B

What latitudes are most likely to see glaciers??  
olga55 [171]

Answer : Option D) 90°N and 90°S

Explanation : The latitudes which are given in the options are the angle to be measured in the direction of north and south respectively taking equator as the central line.

When it is 90°N and 90°S it means it forms an right angle and faces towards north and south respectively with respect to the equator, so there are high chances of pointing towards the Arctic and Antarctic regions respectively; therefore giving greater probability of finding glaciers.

Describe what would happen to the arrows if this magnet were picked up and dropped numerous times.
astraxan [27]
<h2>Arrows movment when magnet is Picked Up and Dropped many times.</h2>

If the magnet were picked up and dropped numerous times the arrows would point in a variety of directions. When the magnet is picked up then the arrow shows deflection in one point and when the magnet is dropped in the opposite direction. When it is picked up and dropped numerous times it will show deflection in many directions.
