A cinder block is sitting on a platform 20m high. It weighs 79N.

Physics

Answer:

A cinder block is stationary it means it only has potential energy.

Explanation:

  • The cinder block is not moving so it has been storing the potential energy.
  • We can find the potential energy of the block by using the formula as:

                         Potential energy (PE) = mgh

where,

m= mass of the block

g= acceleration due to gravity

h= height of the block

Now,

                         PE= 79 × 20 J

                   or, PE = 1580 J

The energy stored by the block as potential energy is 1580 J.

Can someone answer this for me? it’s due today and i need it done asap! i will give brainlist!!
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

1. The sound waves are longitudinal because particles of the medium through which the sound is transported vibrate parallel to the direction that the sound wave moves.

2. A pulse or a wave is introduced into a slinky when a person holds the first coil and gives it a back-and-forth motion. This creates a disturbance within the medium; this disturbance subsequently travels from coil to coil, transporting energy as it moves.

A ring, cylinder, solid sphere, and hollow sphere are all released from rest from the same height on an inclined surface, at the
crimeas [40]

Answer:

Explanation:

  • The expression for acceleration of the rolling body on an inclined plane is given as a = gsinФ/1 + k²/R²
  • where Ф is the angle of inclination, R is the radius, k is the radius of gyration.
  • The potential energy of the system is given as ; PE = mgh
  • The potential energy will be constant for ring, cylinder, solid sphere, and hollow sphere.
  • The total kinetic energy of the rolling body is ; KE = mv²/2 + Iw²/2
  • Hence, the total kinetic energy of the ring, cylinder, solid sphere and hollow sphere will be constant.

2. The moment of inertia of the ring is given as ;

I = mR²

The moment of inertia of the ring is maximum and therefore reaches the bottom last.

Jon's bathtub is rectangular and its base is 18 ft2. (a) How fast is the water level rising if Jon is filling the tub at a rate
Kitty [74]

Answer:

The water level in the bath tub is rising at a rate of 0.0111 ft/s

Explanation:

Volume of the bath tub = (Area of base) × (height)

Area of base = 18 ft² (constant)

Height = h (variable)

V = 18h

(dV/dt) = 18 (dh/dt)

If (dV/dt) = 0.2 ft³/s

0.2 = 18 (dh/dt)

(dh/dt) = (0.2/18)

(dh/dt) = 0.0111 ft/s

Hope this Helps!!!
