You can calculate potential energy by:
U = m.g.h

Where, U = potential energy
m = mass
g = acceleration due to gravity
h = height

Hope this helps!

A professor drives off with his car (mass 870 kg), but forgot to take his coffee mug (mass 0.47 kg) off the roof. The coefficien

SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer: $6.86 m/s^2$

Explanation:

Given

mas of car=870 kg

coffee mug mass=0.47 kg

coefficient of static friction between mug and roof $\mu _s= 0.7$

Coefficient of kinetic Friction $\mu _k=0.5$

maximum car acceleration is $\mu \times g$

here coefficient of static friction comes in to action because mug is placed over car . If mug is moving relative to car then \mu _k is come into effect

$a_{max}=0.7\times 9.8=6.86 m/s^2$

Capacitors, C1 = 1.0 F and C2 = 1.0 F, are connected in parallel to a 6.0 volt battery (ΔV = 6.0V). If the battery is disconnect

Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

66.2 sec

Explanation:

C₁ = 1.0 F

C₂ = 1.0 F

ΔV = Potential difference across the capacitor = 6.0 V

C = parallel combination of capacitors

Parallel combination of capacitors is given as

C = C₁ + C₂

C = 1.0 + 1.0

C = 2.0 F

R = resistance = 33 Ω

Time constant is given as

T = RC

T = 33 x 2

T = 66 sec

V₀ = initial potential difference across the combination = 6.0 Volts

V = final potential difference = 2.2 volts

Using the equation

$V = V_{o} e^{\frac{-t}{T}}$

$2.2 = 6 e^{\frac{-t}{66}}$

t = 66.2 sec

An object floats in a beaker as shown. when it was put into the beaker, it displaced an amount of water into the graduated cylin

Tanzania [10]

Answer:

answer is C. 10 g

Explanation:

: When an object floats, it displaces an amount of water that has the same mass as itself. Therefore, the mass of the water in the graduated cylinder is equal to the mass of the object. We can see that there are 10 mL of water in the graduated cylinder. We also know that the density of water is 1 g/mL. Since each mL of water has a mass of 1 g, then 10 mL of water has a mass of 10 g. If the mass of the displaced water is 10 g, then the mass of the floating object is also 10 g.
