Margarita [4]4 years ago
5 0

Answer: its The ability to do work or cause change.  Energy of an object due to its motion.

Explanation:In physics, potential energy is the energy held by an object because of its position relative to other objects, stresses within itself, its electric charge, or other factors.

Nata [24]
A) the pump removes air from the enclosure. foam absorbs vibrations from the clock
b) result is that as the air is taken out by pump, the sound of alarm reduces and eventually becomes zero. so, you cant hear the alarm ringing.
c) conclusion is that sound cant travel in vaccum and it requires a medium to travel.

A uniform cylinder of radius 25 cm and mass 27 kg is mounted so as to rotate freely about a horizontal axis that is parallel to
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

Explanation:

                                                     STEP 1

<u>Given</u>

Radius of cylinder = r = 25cm, 2.5m

mass = 27kg

cylinder is mounted so as to rotate freely about a horizontal axis that is parallel to and 60cm to the central logitudinal axis of the cylinder

height = 0.6m

<u>part 1</u>

The cylinder is mounted so as to rotate freely about a horizontal axis tha is paralle to 60cm from the central longitudinal axis of then cylinder. The rotational inertia of the cylinder about the axis of rotation is given by

<em>I = Icm + mh²</em>

<em>∴ I = 1/2mr² + mh² = 1/2x27x (0.5)² + 20  x  (0.6)²</em>

<em>I=13.09kg.m²</em>

where

<em>I</em>cm is the rotational inertia of the cylinder about its central axis

m is the mass of the cylinder

h is the distance between the axis of the rotation and the central axis of the cylinder

r is the radius of the cylinder

<em>                                        </em><em> I=13.09kg.m²</em>

<em>part2</em>

<em>from the conservation of the total mechanical energy of the meter stick, the change in gravitational potential energyof the meter stick plus the change in kinetic energy must be zero</em>

<em>Δk + Δu = 0</em>

<em>1/2 </em>I(w²-w²) = Ui-Uf

1/2 x 13.09w² = mgh

∴w=√20 x 9.8 x 0.6/(1/2 x 13.09) =117.6/6.5

w=18.09rad/s

Dos cargas Q1=2pc y Q2=4pc estan separadas por una distancia de 6cm ¿con que fuerza se atraen?
noname [10]

Here we can use coulomb's law to find the force between two charges

As per coulombs law

]tex]F = \frac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}[/tex]

here we have

k = 9 * 10^9

q_1 = 2pC

q_2 = 4pC

r = 6cm = 0.06 m

now by using the above equation we have

F = \frac{9*10^9 * 2*10^{-12} * 4*10^{-12}}{0.06^2}

F = 2 * 10^{-11} N

so here the force between two charges is of above magnitude and this will be repulsive force between them as both charges are of same sign.
