How would doubling the height of an object change the object's potential energy?

Physics
1 answer:
Kruka [31]3 years ago
6 0

C. The potential energy would double.

Explanation:

The potential energy of an object is the energy at rest. it is the product of its mass, gravity and height.

   Potential energy = mgh

where m is the mass

           g is the acceleration due to gravity

            h is the height

From the above, potential energy is proportional to the height. If any change in any of the parameters will directly affect the potential energy. This implies that if height is double, the potential energy is doubled.

Answer:

1=920

2=2300

Explanation:

from the question,

M¹=23

H¹=4

g=10(constant)

using the formula

P. E,= mgh

P. E= 23×10×4=920

P. E=23×10×10=2300

During a testing process, a worker in a factory mounts a bicycle wheel on a stationary stand and applies a tangential resistive
Alex

Answer:

616.223684211 N

Explanation:

F_r = Resistive force on the wheel = 115 N

F = Force acting on sprocket

r_2 = Radius of sprocket = 4.75 cm

r_1 = Radius of wheel = 25 cm

Moment of inertia is given by

I=mr_1^2\\\Rightarrow I=1.7\times 0.25^2\\\Rightarrow I=0.10625\ kgm^2

Torque

\tau=I\alpha\\\Rightarrow \tau=0.10625\times 4.9\\\Rightarrow \tau=0.520625\ Nm

Torque is given by

\tau=Fr_2-F_rr_1\\\Rightarrow F=\dfrac{\tau+F_rr_1}{r_2}\\\Rightarrow F=\dfrac{0.520625+115\times 0.25}{0.0475}\\\Rightarrow F=616.223684211\ N

The force on the chain is 616.223684211 N

A 13.5 μF capacitor is connected to a power supply that keeps a constant potential difference of 22.0 V across the plates. A pie
-BARSIC- [3]

a) 3.27\cdot 10^{-3} J

b) 11.60\cdot 10^{-3} J

c) 8.33\cdot 10^{-3} J

Explanation:

a)

The energy stored in a capacitor is given by

U=\frac{1}{2}CV^2

where

C is the capacitance of the capacitor

V is the potential difference across the plates of the capacitor

For the capacitor in this problem, before insering the dielectric, we have:

C=13.5 \mu F = 13.5\cdot 10^{-6}F is its capacitance

V = 22.0 V is the potential difference across it

Therefore, the initial energy stored in the capacitor is:

U=\frac{1}{2}(13.5\cdot 10^{-6})(22.0)^2=3.27\cdot 10^{-3} J

b)

After the dielectric is inserted into the plates, the capacitance of the capacitor changes according to:

C'=kC

where

k = 3.55 is the dielectric constant of the material

C is the initial capacitance of the capacitor

Therefore, the energy stored now in the capacitor is:

U'=\frac{1}{2}C'V^2=\frac{1}{2}kCV^2

where:

C=13.5\cdot 10^{-6}F is the initial capacitance

V = 22.0 V is the potential difference across the plate

Substituting, we find:

U'=\frac{1}{2}(3.55)(13.5\cdot 10^{-6})(22.0)^2=11.60\cdot 10^{-3} J

C)

The initial energy stored in the capacitor, before the dielectric is inserted, is

U=3.27\cdot 10^{-3} J

The final energy stored in the capacitor, after the dielectric is inserted, is

U'=11.60\cdot 10^{-3} J

Therefore, the change in energy of the capacitor during the insertion is:

\Delta U=11.60\cdot 10^{-3}-3.27\cdot 10^{-3}=8.33\cdot 10^{-3} J

So, the energy of the capacitor has increased by 8.33\cdot 10^{-3} J

A seesaw is 4.0m long with a pivot at its midpoint. A boy who weighs 400N sits at a distance of 1.5m from the pivot. His sister
bezimeni [28]

Answer:

the girl must sit 2 cm from the pivot at the opposite end of the seesaw.

Explanation:

Given;

length of the seesaw, L = 4.0 m

weight of the boy, W₁ = 400 N

position of the boy from the pivot, d₁ = 1.5 m

weight of her sister, W₂ = 300 N

First, make a sketch of this information given;

                 0---0.5m---------------------Δ--------------------------4m

                         ↓<--------1.5m-------> <---------x--------->↓

                        400 N                                          300N

Apply the principle of moment about the pivot, to determine the value of x;

Sum of anticlockwise moment = sum of clockwise moment

400(1.5) = 300(x)

600 = 300x

x = 600/300

x = 2 cm

Thus, the girl must sit 2 cm from the pivot at the opposite end of the seesaw.

Calculate the force, when a object acelerattes to 30 m/s^2 and have a mass of 40 kg
faust18 [17]

Hello!

Use the <u>second law of Newton:</u>

F = ma

Replacing:

F = 40 kg * 30 m/s^2

Resolving:

F = 1200 N

The force is <u>1200 Newtons.</u>
