The answer is 117.6 J

The potential energy of the object is actually its stored energy:

<span>E = m · g · h
E - the potential energy of the object,
m - the mass of the object,
g - acceleration due to gravity,
h - the height of the object.

m = 4 kg
g = 9.8 m/s</span>²
h = 3 m

E = 4 * 9.8 * 3 = 117.6 J

A kayaker needs to paddle north across a 100-m-wide harbor. The tide is going out, creating a tidal current that flows to the ea
Savatey [412]

Answer:

41.81^{\circ}

Explanation:

The tidal current flows to the east at 2.0 m/s and the speed of the kayaker is 3.0 m/s.

Let Vector \overrightarrow{OA} is the tidal current velocity as shown in the diagram.

In order to travel straight across the harbor, the vector addition of both the velocities (i.e the resultant velocity, \vec {R} must be in the north direction.

Let \overrightarrow{AB} is the speed of the kayaker having angle \theta measured north of east as shown in the figure.

For the resultant velocity in the north direction, the tail of the vector \overrightarrow {OA} and head of the vector \overrightarrow{AB} must lie on the north-south line.

Now, for this condition, from the triangle OAB

|\overrightarrow{AB}|\sin \theta=|\overrightarrow{OA}|

\Rightarrow \sin\theta=\frac{|\overrightarrow{OA}|}{|\overrightarrow{AB}|}=\frac 2 3

\Rightarrow \theta=\sin^{-1}\frac23

\Rightarrow \theta=41.81^{\circ}

Hence, the kayaker must paddle in the direction of 41.81^{\circ}  in the north of east direction.

A cylindrical tungsten filament 14.0 cmcm long with a diameter of 1.00 mmmm is to be used in a machine for which the temperature
Advocard [28]

Answer:

Resistivity ρ=1.12 x 10^-4 Ωm

Explanation:

ρ= RA/l, where R is resistance, A is cross sectional area and l is length

A=πr^2

Note Current is given R is proportion to temperature and inversely proportional to Current R=(20+273)/14*10^-2 =2000Ω

⇒ρ=R*πr^2/l all length in metre.

The force on the spring is F0 and it stores elastic potential energy PEs0. If the spring displacement is tripled to 3x0, determi
Dimas [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let initial extension in the spring= x₀

Force on the spring = F₀

Let spring constant = k

Fo = k x₀

Fn = 3k x₀

Fn /Fo = 3

PEs0 ( ORIGINAL)  =1/2 k x₀²

PEsn ( NEW)  =1/2 k (3x₀)²

PEsn / PEs0 = 9
