A boulder with a weight of 780 N is resting at the edge of a cliff that rises 123 m above the ground. What is the gravitational

potential energy of the boulder?

Potential energy U = mgh

Given h = 123 m,
mg = F = 780 N

Then
U = (123)(780)
= 95940
= 9.59 x 10^4

a. 2.00kg object is subject to three force that gives acceleration a =8m/s^2 i +6m/s j if two of three forces are f1 =(30.0N)+(1

tekilochka [14]

By Newton's second law, the net force on the object is

∑ <em>F</em> = <em>m</em> <em>a</em>

∑ <em>F</em> = (2.00 kg) (8 <em>i</em> + 6 <em>j</em> ) m/s^2 = (16.0 <em>i</em> + 12.0 <em>j</em> ) N

Let <em>f</em> be the unknown force. Then

∑ <em>F</em> = (30.0 <em>i</em> + 16 <em>j</em> ) N + (-12.0 <em>i</em> + 8.0 <em>j</em> ) N + <em>f</em>

=> <em>f</em> = (-2.0 <em>i</em> - 12.0 <em>j</em> ) N

Keeping the mass at 1.0 kg and the velocity at 10.0 m/s, record the magnitude of centripetal acceleration for each given radius

Paha777 [63]

Answer:

The centripetal acceleration for the first radius; 2.0 m = 50 m/s²

The centripetal acceleration for the second radius; 4.0 m = 25 m/s²

The centripetal acceleration for the third radius; 6.0 m = 16.67 m/s²

The centripetal acceleration for the fourth radius; 8.0 m = 12.5 m/s²

The centripetal acceleration for the fifth radius; 10.0 m = 10 m/s²

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the object, m = 1 kg

velocity of the object, v = 10 m/s

different values of the radius, 2.0 m 4.0 m 6.0 m 8.0 m 10.0 m

The centripetal acceleration for the first radius; 2.0 m

$a_c = \frac{v^2}{r} \\\\a_c_1= \frac{(10)^2}{2} \\\\a_c_1= 50 \ m/s^2$

The centripetal acceleration for the second radius; 4.0 m

$a_c_2= \frac{(10)^2}{4} \\\\a_c_2= 25 \ m/s^2$

The centripetal acceleration for the third radius; 6.0 m

$a_c_3= \frac{(10)^2}{6} \\\\a_c_3= 16.67 \ m/s^2$

The centripetal acceleration for the fourth radius; 8.0 m

$a_c_4= \frac{(10)^2}{8} \\\\a_c_4= 12.5 \ m/s^2$

The centripetal acceleration for the fifth radius; 10.0 m

$a_c_5= \frac{(10)^2}{10} \\\\a_c_5= 10 \ m/s^2$

Technician A says that current is created in the stator windings of an alternator. Technician B says that the voltage regulator

drek231 [11]

Answer:

Technician A and Technician B both are right.

Explanation:

In an AC alternator, there are two windings

1. Stator winding (stationary)

2. Rotor winding (rotating)

The current is induced in the stationary coils due to the magnetic field produced by the rotor. The DC suppy is provided to the rotor winding via slip rings and brushes and a voltage regulator precisely controls this supply to control the current flow through the rotor.

Therefore, both technicians are right.
