How does the position of an object relate to the energy stored in an object?

Kamila [148]

Answer:

Potential Energy

Explanation:

Potential energy is the energy stored in an object due to it's position relative to some zero position. An object possesses gravitational potential energy if it is positioned at a height above (or below) the zero height.

A paper-filled capacitor is charged to a potential difference of V0=2.5 V. The dielectric constant of paper is k=3.7 . The capac

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

k = 6.72

Explanation:

K of paper = 3.7

k of air = 1

Given that charge Q on the capacitor is constant because cell is disconnected from the circuit. So

V = Q / C = 2.5

Capacity becomes C / 3.7 in air .

capacity becomes C/3.7 when paper is replaced by air .

V₁ = Q / (C/3.7)

= 3.7 Q/C

3.7 x 2.5

= 9.25 V

In the second case ,

capacitance due to new unknown dielectric k

= C/3.7 x k

= kC / 3.7 ( Capacitance in air is C/3.7 )

V ( new ) = Q / ( kC/3.7 )

= 3.7 Q/kC

.55 x 2.5 = 3.7 x( 2.5 / k )

k = 3.7 / .55

= 6.72

Barack is playing basketball in his back yard. He takes a shot 7.0 m from the basket (measured along the ground), shooting at an

VMariaS [17]

Answer:

The time of flight of the ball is 1.06 seconds.

Explanation:

Given $\Delta x=7\ m$

$\theta=45 \°$

Also, $\Delta y=(3.5-2)=1.5\ m$

$a_x=0\ and\ a_y=-9.81\ m/s^2$

Let us say the velocity in the x-direction is $v_x$ and in the y-direction is $v_y$ . And acceleration in the x-direction is $a_x$ and in the y-direction is $a_y$ .

Also, $\Delta x\ and\ \Delta y$ is distance covered in x and y direction respectively. And $t$ is the time taken by the ball to hit the backboard.

We can write $v_x=v_0cos(45)\ and\ v_y=v_0sin(45)$ . Where $v_0$ is velocity of ball.

Now,

$\Delta x=v_x\times t+\frac{1}{2}\times a_x\times t^2\\ \Delta x=v_x\times t+\frac{1}{2}\times 0\times t^2\\\Delta x=v_xt$

$\Delta x=v_0cos(45)\times t\\7=v_0cos(45)\times t\\\\t=\frac{7}{v_0cos(45)}$

Also,

$\Delta y=v_y\times t+\frac{1}{2}\times a_y\times t^2\\ 1.5=v_0sin(45)\times \frac{7}{v_0cos(45)}+\frac{1}{2}\times (-9.81)\times(\frac{7}{v_0cos(45)} )^2\\\\1.5=7-\frac{481}{(v_0)^2}\\ \\\frac{481}{(v_0)^2}=5.5\\\\(v_0)^2=\frac{481}{5.5}\\ \\(v_0)^2=87.45\\\\v_0=\sqrt{87.45}=9.35\ m/s$ .
