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

Physics
1 answer:
nikitadnepr [17]3 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>

After an incandescent lamp is turned on, the temperature of its filament rapidly increases from room temperature to its operatin
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer: (1) The resistance increases and the current decreases.

Explanation:  

When the temperature of the filament increases, the vibrational energy of the constituent atoms increases which leads to increase in inter-atomic collision. Thus, the resistance would increase. The increases in resistance would obstruct the flow of charges more leading to decrease in the value of the current.

Hence, when the temperature of the filament increase, the resistance increases and current decreases.

During each cycle, a refrigerator ejects 610 kJ of energy to a high-temperature reservoir, and takes in 505 kJ of energy from a
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer

A. the work done on the refrigerant in each cycle is 105kJ

B the coefficient of performance of the refrigerator is 4.8

Explanation

Given data

Work done at high temperature T2 Qh=610kJ

Work done at low temperature T1 Ql=505kJ

We know that the net work done by the refrigerator is expressed as

Wnet= Qh-Ql

=610-505

=105kJ

Also we know that the coefficient of performance is expressed as

COP= Ql/Wnet

COP= 505/105

= 4.8

Which statement describes how the photoelectric effect causes an electric
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

A. Light acts as particles, causing electrons on the surface it strikes to be destroyed.

Explanation:

  • The photoelectric effect is a phenomenon that occurs when light shined onto a metal surface causes the ejection of electrons from that metal. It was observed that only certain frequencies of light are able to cause the ejection of electrons.

A car is traveling at the bottom of a 9.00-meter-radius circular hill with a constant speed v. The moment the car is at the bott
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

Explanation:

reading of scale = reaction force of surface R

centripetal force = R - mg = m v² / R , m is mass , v is velocity and R is radius of the circular path .

R = mg + m v² / R

given ,

m v² / R = .80 mg

v² = .80 x g x R

= .8 x 9.8 x 9 = 70.56

v = 8.4 m /s
