Example sentence for gravitational potential energy

1 answer:

andreev551 [17]3 years ago

5 0

Answer:

Explanation:

An object falling loses gravitational potential energy and gains kinetic energy. The gravity potential is the gravitational potential energy per unit mass. This energy comes from the gravitational potential energy released when the water falls. ... At 0, all the energy is in gravitational potential energy.

Air is a good medium for sound waves because it is

Paul [167]

Answer:

air does not have a modulus of rigidity.

Explanation:

Since air is completely elastic medium, that is, it does not have a modulus of rigidity, therefore sound waves in air are longitudinal.

The membrane that surrounds a certain type of living cell has a surface area of 5.1 x 10-9 m2 and a thickness of 1.4 x 10-8 m.

ziro4ka [17]

a) The charge on the outer surface is $1.2\cdot 10^{-12} C$

b) The number of ions is $7.5\cdot 10^6$

Explanation:

a)

The membrane behaves as a parallel plate capacitor, whose capacity is given by the equation

$C=\frac{k\epsilon_0 A}{d}$

where

k = 4.3 is the dielectric constant

$\epsilon_0 =8.85\cdot 10^{-12} F/m$ is the vacuum permittivity

$A=5.1\cdot 10^{-9} m^2$ is the surface area

$d=1.4\cdot 10^{-8} m$ is the distance between the two plates

Substituting,

$C=\frac{(4.3)(8.85\cdot 10^{-12})(5.1\cdot 10^{-9})}{1.4\cdot 10^{-8}}=1.4\cdot 10^{-11} F$

The capacity of the membrane is related to the potential difference between the two surfaces by

$C=\frac{Q}{\Delta V}$

where here we have

Q = excess charge on one surface

$\Delta V = 85.5 mV = 0.0855 V$ is the potential difference between the two surfaces

Solving for Q, we find

$Q=C\Delta V=(1.4\cdot 10^{-11})(0.0855)=1.2\cdot 10^{-12} C$

b)

We said that the net charge on the outer surface is

$Q=1.2\cdot 10^{-12} C$

The charge of one K+ ions is equal to the electron charge

$+e=1.6\cdot 10^{-19} C$

Therefore, the number of ions on the outer surface can be found by dividing the total charge by the charge of a single ion:

$N=\frac{Q}{e}=\frac{1.2\cdot 10^{-12}}{1.6\cdot 10^{-19}}=7.5\cdot 10^6$

A rod of length 0.82 m, rotating with an angular speed, 4.2 rad/s, about axes that pass perpendicularly through one end, has a m

mariarad [96]

Answer:

Explanation:

KE = ½Iω²

ΚΕ = ½(mL²/3)ω²

ΚΕ = ½(0.63(0.82²)/3)4.2²

ΚΕ = 1.24541928

KE = 1.2 J

A 3kg book falls from a 2m tall bookshelf what is the speed <br><br> PICTURE included

mafiozo [28]

Answer:

39.2m/s

Explanation:

The potential energy the book has right before it falls is equal to the kinetic energy in falling.

PE = KE

mgh = (1/2)mv

2gh=v

v=(2)(9.81)(2)

v=39.24m/s
