How does the work needed to lift an object and the gravitational potential energy of an object compare

Physics

Ganezh [65]2 years ago
8 0

When you do work to lift the object, the amount of work you do BECOMES the object's gravitational potential energy.  It GETS its potential energy from the work you do to lift it.  They're equal.  You lose it, and the object gains it.  Energy is not created or destroyed.  It's just transferred from you to the object.  

Later, when you DROP the object, GRAVITY does the same amount of work on it, to pull it to the ground.  Again, no energy is created or destroyed.  Every time a force acts to move anything, the energy to do it comes from somewhere, and the energy goes somewhere.

Uses of hydrometer in points​
Arisa [49]

Answer:

A hydrometer is an instrument used to determine specific gravity. It operates based on the Archimedes principle that a solid body displaces its own weight within a liquid in which it floats. Hydrometers can be divided into two general classes: liquids heavier than water and liquids lighter than water

You need to determine the density of a ceramic statue. If you suspend it from a spring scale, the scale reads 28.4 NN . If you t
shtirl [24]

Answer:

2491.23 kg/m³

Explanation:

From Archimedes principle,

R.d = weight of object in air/ upthrust in water = density of the object/density of water

⇒ W/U = D/D' ....................... Equation 1

Where W = weight of the ceramic statue, U = upthrust of the ceramic statue in water, D = density of the ceramic statue, D' = density of water.

Making D the subject of the equation,

D = D'(W/U).................... Equation 2

Given: W = 28.4 N, U = lost in weight = weight in air- weight in water

U = 28.4 - 17.0 = 11.4 N,

Constant: D' = 1000 kg/m³.

Substitute into equation 2,

D = 100(28.4/11.4)

D = 2491.23 kg/m³

Hence the density of the ceramic statue = 2491.23 kg/m³

Ksenya-84 [330]

Explanation:

Typically, business software technologies are complex, and software strenuous. Business software applications are also often upgraded for changes in business goals or procedures. Real-time systems usually require a lot of hardware components that are quite difficult to change and cannot be upgraded Usually, actual-time safety critical systems that required to be built based on well-planned processes.

Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

a= 92. 13 m/s²

Explanation:

Given that

Amplitude ,A= 0.165 m

The maximum speed ,V(max) = 3.9 m/s

We know that maximum velocity in the SHM  given as

V(max)  = ω A

ω=Angular speed

A=Amplitude

\omega =\dfrac{3.9}{0.165}\ rad/s

ω=23.63 rad/s

The maximum acceleration given as

a = ω² A

a= (23.63)² x 0.165 m/s²

a= 92. 13 m/s²

Therefore the maximum magnitude of the acceleration will be 92. 13 m/s².
