A 2.0 kg mass is lifted 4.0 m above the ground. find the change in gravitational energy

Physics
1 answer:
Makovka662 [10]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

78.4 J

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the object (m) = 2.0 kg

Height or displacement of the mass (h) = 4.0 m

Now, change in gravitational potential energy (ΔU) = ?

Change in gravitational potential energy of an object is the energy stored by the object when it is raised to some height above the reference ground level.

Change in gravitational potential energy of an object of mass 'm' raised to a height 'h' above the ground is given as:

\Delta U=mgh

Where, 'g' is the acceleration due to gravity and has a value of 9.8 m/s².

Now, plug in all the given values and solve for ΔU. This gives,

\Delta U=(2.0\ kg)(9.8\ m/s^2)(4.0\ m)\\\\\Delta U=78.4\ J

Therefore, the change in gravitational potential energy is 78.4 J.

What amount of heat is required to raise the temperature of 200 g of water by 15°C (the specific heat of water is 1 cal/g°C)
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

Heat energy required (Q) = 3,000 J

Explanation:

Find:

Mass of water (M) = 200 g

Change in temperature (ΔT) = 15°C

Specific heat of water (C) = 1 cal/g°C

Find:

Heat energy required (Q) = ?

Computation:

Q = M × ΔT × C

Heat energy required (Q) = Mass of water (M) × Change in temperature (ΔT) × Specific heat of water (C)

Heat energy required (Q) = 200 g × 15°C × 1 cal/g°C

Heat energy required (Q) = 3,000 J

A transparent oil with index of refraction 1.28 spills on the surface of water (index of refraction 1.33), producing a maximum o
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

The thickness of the oil slick is 1.95\times10^{-7}\ m

Explanation:

Given that,

Index of refraction = 1.28

Wave length = 500 nm

Order m = 1

We need to calculate the thickness of oil slick

Using formula of thickness

2nt= m\lambda

Where, n = Index of refraction

t = thickness

\lambda = wavelength

Put the value into the formula

2\times1.28 \times t=1\times\times500\times10^{-9}

t = \dfrac{1\times\times500\times10^{-9}}{2\times1.28 }

t=1.95\times10^{-7}\ m

Hence, The thickness of the oil slick is 1.95\times10^{-7}\ m
