Which has more gravitaatoinal potental energy: a bird on the ground or the same bird in the tree? why?

1 answer:

7 0

The same bird on the tree has more gravitational potential energy. This is because it is at a higher distance from the ground as it is on the tree, than when it is on the ground.

Considering also the formula for Gravitational Potential Energy GPE = mgh

For the bird on the ground, h =0, therefore GPE = m*9.8*0 = 0

For that on the tree = mgh = m*9.8*h

Of course the one on the tree has a value greater than zero.

a 20-kg object travelling at 20 m/s collides head on with an 18-kg object travelling at 17 m/s.If they were locked together afte

djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

2.47 m/s

Explanation:

Momentum = Mass X Velocity

If they were locked together, it means its a perfectly inelastic collision. Therefore,

Total momentum before = Total momentum after

Total momentum before = (20 X 20) - (18 X 17)

= 94

Total momentum after = 94

Y = Object speed after collision

94 = (20+18)Y

Y = 2.47368421 m/s

the force of a bag of potatoes on a vegetable stand is 22.5 N down. what is the force of the vegetable stand on the bag of potat

natima [27]

As per Newton's III law we can say that

Force applied by object 1 on object 2 is always equal in magnitude and opposite in direction of the force that object 2 apply on object 1.

So we can say it as

$F_{12} = -F_{21}$

now here above question is based upon the same

if a bag of vegetables applied a force F = 22.5 N of the surface stand the the same surface will apply same magnitude of force in opposite direction on the vegetables bag

So our answer will be F = 22.5 N (upwards).

You are given a vector in the xy plane that has a magnitude of 90.0 units and a y component of -61.0 units. A) Assuming the x co

kvasek [131]

Answer:

A) magnitude = sqrrt(147.1^2 + 61^2) = 159.2 units

B)22.5° (clockwise form -ve X axis)

Explanation:

given vector = V1 = x i - 60 j

magnitude of V1 = 90

x - component can be found out by resultant formula

90^2 = x^2 + (-60)^2

x = 67.08 = 67.1 units (3sf)

FOR THE VECTOR 80 UNITS IN -VE X DIRECTION

The X component is -80-------(1)

The Y component is 0 ---------(2)

For the x- component of new added vector:

(1)----------- x + 67.1 = -80

x = -147.1 = -147.1

For the y- component of new added vector:

(2)---------- y - 61 = 0

y = 61.0 (3sf)

the new added vector is = -147.1 i + 61 j

magnitude = sqrrt(147.1^2 + 61^2) = 159.2 units

direction = arctan (61 / 147.1)

= 22.5° (clockwise form -ve X axis)

If pressure is increased from 200 kPa to 300 kPa, and the original volume of gas was 1.5 L, what is the new volume? Assume the t

Oxana [17]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: V2 = 1 l

Explanation:

Data

P1 = 200 kPa

P2 = 300 kPa

V1 = 1.5 l

V2 = ?

Formula

P1V1 = P2V2

V2 = (P1V1) / P2

V2 = (200 x 1.5) / 300

V2 = 1 l
