Answer:

The potential energy of the more massive one is twice that of the other.

Explanation:

Potential energy is given by

<em>PE</em> = <em>mgh</em>

where <em>m</em> = mass of body, <em>g</em> = acceleration of gravity and <em>h</em> = height or elevation.

For the less massive car, let the mass be m_1. Then its <em>PE</em> is

PE_1 = m_1gh

For the massive car, let the mass be m_2.  Its <em>PE</em> is

PE_2 = m_2gh

But m_2 =2m_1

\therefore PE_2 = 2m_1gh = 2(m_1gh) = 2PE_1

Hence, the potential energy of the more massive one is twice that of the other.

Under what condition will kinetic friction slow a sliding object?
matrenka [14]

Explanation: Slowing Down (or Stopping) occurs when the force of kinetic friction is greater than that of the external force. This also follows Newton's first law of motion as there exists a net force on the object.

Sedaia [141]

Answer:

V = 20.5 m/s

Explanation:

Given,

The mass of the cart, m = 6 Kg

The initial speed of the cart, u = 4 m/s

The acceleration of the cart, a = 0.5 m/s²

The time interval of the cart, t = 30 s

The final velocity of the cart is given by the first equation of motion

                              v = u + at

                                  = 4 + (0.5 x 30)

                                = 19 m/s

Hence the final velocity of cart at 30 seconds is, v = 19 m/s

The speed of the cart at the end of  3 seconds

                                    V = 19 + (0.5 x 3)

                                       = 20.5 m/s

Hence, the final velocity of the cart at the end of this 3.0 second interval is, V = 20.5 m/s

trapecia [35]

Answer: Option B: 1.3×10⁵ W

Explanation:

Power = \frac{Work \hspace{1mm} done}{Time}

P=\frac{W}{t}

Work Done, W= F.s

Where s is displacement in the direction of force and F is force.

\Rightarrow P = \frac{F.s}{t} =F \times \frac{s}{t}=F.v

where, v is the velocity.

It is given that, F = 5.75 × 10³N

v = 22 m/s

P = 5.75 × 10³N×22 m/s = 126.5 × 10³ W ≈1.3×10⁵W

Thus, the correct option is B

Wire sizes are often reported using the AWG (American Wire Gauge) system in which smaller diameter wires are said to be of highe
NISA [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

24 - gauge wire , diameter = .51 mm .

Resistivity of copper ρ = 1.72 x 10⁻⁸ ohm-m

R = ρ l / s

1.72x 10⁻⁸ / [3.14 x( .51/2)² x 10⁻⁶ ]

= 8.42 x 10⁻² ohm

= .084 ohm

B )  Current required through this wire

= 12 / .084 A

= 142.85 A

C )

Let required length be l

resistance = .084 l

2 = 12 / .084 l

l = 12 / (2 x .084)

= 71.42 m
