The potential energy of the block is A) 490 J

Explanation:

The potential energy of an object is the energy possessed by the object due to its position in the gravitational field.

It is calculated as follows:

PE=mgh

where

m is the mass of the object

g is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height of the object above the ground

For the block in this problem, we have:

m = 10 kg

g=9.8 m/s^2

h = 5 m

Therefore, its potential energy is:

PE=(10)(9.8)(5)=490 J

What is carbon dating
Tom [10]

the determination of the age or date of organic matter from the relative proportions of the carbon isotopes carbon-12 and carbon-14 that it contains. The ratio between them changes as radioactive carbon-14 decays and is not replaced by exchange with the atmosphere.

<span>6160 joules

    to lift 1 newton 1 metre requires 1 joule
 there are 10 newtons in one kilo

    so 77(kg) x 8 (metres) x 10 (newtons/kilo) = 6160 joules</span>

ELEN [110]

Answer:

a)  v² = G M R³,  b)  T = 2π /\sqrt{GMR}, c)  m \sqrt{GMR^5 }

Explanation:

a) The kinetic energy is

         K = ½ m v²

       

to find the velocity let's use Newton's second law

          F = m a

acceleration is centripetal

           a = v² / R

           

force is the universal force of attraction

           F = G m M / r²

we substitute

          G m M R² = m v² R

          v² = G M R³

           

the kinetic energy is

          K = ½ m G M R³

b) angular and linear velocity are related

          v = w R

          w = v / R

          w = \frac{\sqrt{GMR^3  }}{R}

          w = \sqrt{GMR}

the angular velocity is related to the period

          w = 2π / T

          T = 2π / w

we substitute

           T = 2π /\sqrt{GMR}

c) the angular moeomto is

            L = m v r

            L = m RA G M R³ R

            L =  m \sqrt{GMR^5 }

What does the first law of thermodynamics state about energy?
ruslelena [56]

The first law states that the internal energy change of that system is given by Q − W . Since added heat increases the internal energy of a system, Q is positive when added to the system and negative when removed from the system.
