You hold a metal block of mass 40 kg above your head at a height of 2 m.
Kitty [74]

Answer:

The work done by gravity is 784 J.

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the block is, m=40\ kg

Height to which it is raised is, h=2\ m

Acceleration due to gravity is, g=9.8\ m/s^2

Now, work done by gravity is equal to the product of force of gravity and the distance moved in the direction of gravity. So,

\textrm{Work by gravity}=F_g\times h

Force of gravity is given as the product of mass and acceleration due to gravity.

\therefore F_g=mg=40\times 9.8=392\ N. Now,

\textrm{Work by gravity}=F_g\times h=392\times 2=784\ J

Therefore, the work done by gravity is 784 J.

Helen [10]

Answer:

P = 0.25 W

Explanation:

Given that,

The emf of the battry, E = 2 V

The resistance of a bulb, R = 16 ohms

We need to find the power delivered to the bulb. We know that, the formula for the power delivered is given by :

P=\dfrac{V^2}{R}\\\\P=\dfrac{2^2}{16}\\\\=0.25\ W

So, 0.25 W power is delivered to the bulb.

Write a hypothesis about how the height of the cylinder affects the temperature of the water. Use the "if . . . then . . . becau
AnnyKZ [126]
The statement that can be used to answer this  question is:

"If the cylinder is brought higher then, its temperature when brought down becomes higher because a greater amount of potential energy is converted to thermal energy."

The potential energy is converted to thermal energy when the object is released the velocity becomes higher because of the acceleration due to gravity.

In 10 seconds a car accelerates 4/ms to 60m/s. how fast was the car going before it accelerated?
SVETLANKA909090 [29]
Well it seems like this problem gives you what you need.  You said the car was going 4m/s and then accelerated to 60m/s... so 4m/s would be your answer for the initial velocity
