The correct answer is B. Energy an object has because of its motion or position

Explanation:

In physics, the mechanical energy of a body or object is determined by the position and/or motion. Due to this, the mechanical energy includes both the kinetic energy (energy during movement) and the potential energy (energy according to location or stored energy). Additionally, the mechanical energy as other types of energy is constant if no forces are acting over it in an ideal system, but in reality, this type of energy is influenced by external forces, for example, friction. Thus, the correct definition of mechanical energy is " Energy an object has because of its motion or position".

Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

c. hot material must be rising from the Sun's hotter interior

Explanation:

Granulation is the grainy appearance of the solar photosphere produced by the top of the convection cells in the sun.

The grainy appearance are produced by granules on the photosphere of the sun and granules are caused by convection currents of plasma within the sun's convection zone.

The interior of these granules are brighter (and thus hotter) than the exterior of the granules which are darker.

<u>So, the granulation pattern that astronomers have observed on the surface of the Sun tells us that hot material must be rising from the Sun's hotter interior.</u>

A uniform plank of mass 10kg and length 10m rests on two supports, A and B as shown. A boy of weight 500N stands at a distance o
kifflom [539]

Answer:

U² = 142.86 N

U¹ = 357.14 N

Explanation:

Taking summation of the moment about point A, we get the following equilibrium equation: (taking clockwise direction as positive)

W(2\ m) - U^2(7\ m) = 0

where,

W = weight of boy = 500 N

U² = reaction ay B = ?

Therefore,

(500\ N)(2\ m)-(U^2)(7\ m)=0\\U^2=\frac{1000\ Nm}{7\ m}\\

<u>U² = 142.86 N</u>

Now, taking summation of forces on the plank. Taking upward direction as positive, for equilibrium position:

W-U^1-U^2=0\\500\ N - 142.86\ N = U^1\\

<u>U¹ = 357.14 N</u>

Compare and contrast series and parallel circuits?
dalvyx [7]

In a series circuit, a common current flows through all the components of the circuit. While in a parallel circuit, a different amount of current flows through each parallel branch of the circuit. Whereas in the parallel circuit, the same voltage exists across the multiple components in the circuit.

Hope It Helps!

A bottle dropped from a balloon reaches the ground in 20 s. determine the height of the balloon if (a) it was at rest in the air
romanna [79]
<span>a) 1960 m b) 960 m Assumptions. 1. Ignore air resistance. 2. Gravity is 9.80 m/s^2 For the situation where the balloon was stationary, the equation for the distance the bottle fell is d = 1/2 AT^2 d = 1/2 9.80 m/s^2 (20s)^2 d = 4.9 m/s^2 * 400 s^2 d = 4.9 * 400 m d = 1960 m For situation b, the equation is quite similar except we need to account for the initial velocity of the bottle. We can either assume that the acceleration for gravity is negative, or that the initial velocity is negative. We just need to make certain that the two effects (falling due to acceleration from gravity) and (climbing due to initial acceleration) counteract each other. So the formula becomes d = 1/2 9.80 m/s^2 (20s)^2 - 50 m/s * T d = 1/2 9.80 m/s^2 (20s)^2 - 50m/s *20s d = 4.9 m/s^2 * 400 s^2 - 1000 m d = 4.9 * 400 m - 1000 m d = 1960 m - 1000 m d = 960 m</span>

Problem 1: Three beads are placed along a thin rod. The first bead, of mass m1 = 24 g, is placed a distance d1 = 1.1 cm from the
Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

b)  x_{cm} = 4.88 cm , c) x_{cm}’= 1/M  (m₁ d₁ + m₃ d₃) and d)

x_{cm}’= 1.88 cm

Explanation:

The definition of mass center is

    x_{cm} = 1/M ∑ xi mi

Where mi, xi are the mass and distance from an origin for each mass and M is the total mass of the object.

Part b

Apply this equation to our case.

Body 1

They give us the mass (m₁ = 24 g) and the distance (d₁ = 1.1 cm) from the origin at the far left

Body 2

They give us the mass (m₂ = 12.g) and the distance relative to the distance of the body 1, let's look for the distance from the left end (origin)

    D₂ = d₁ + d₂

    D₂ = 1.1 + 1.9

    D₂ = 3.0 cm

Body 3

Give the mass (m₃ = 56 g) and the position relative to body 2, let's find the distance relative to the origin

    D₃ = D₂ + d₂

    D₃ = 3.0 + 3.9

    D₃ = 6.9 cm

With this data we substitute and calculate the center of mass

    M = m₁ + m₂ + m₃

    M = 24 + 12 + 56

    M = 92 g

    x_{cm} = 1/92 (1.1 24 + 3.0 12 + 6.9 56)

    x_{cm} = 1/92 (448.8)

    x_{cm} = 4,878 cm

    x_{cm} = 4.88 cm

This distance is from the left end of the bar

Par c)

In this case we are asked for the same calculation, but the reference system is in the center marble, we have to rewrite the distance with the reference system in this marble.

Body 1

It is at   d1 = -1.9 cm

It is negative for being on the left and the value is the relative distance of 1 to 2

Body 2

d2 = 0 cm

The reference system for her

Body 3

d3 = 3.9 cm

Positive because that is to the left of the reference system and is the relative distance between 2 and 3

Let's write the new center of mass (xcm')

    x_{cm} ’= 1/M  (m₁ d₁ + m₂ d₂ + m₃ d₃)

   

   x_{cm}’= 1/M  (m₁ d₁ + m₃ d₃)

Part d) Let's calculate the value of the center of mass

    x_{cm}’= 1/92 ((24 (-1.9) +56 3.9)

    x_{cm}’= 1/92 (172.8)

    x_{cm}’= 1.88 cm

This distance is to the right of the central marble
