The gravitational potential energy of the rock is:

490 J at 50 m

196 J at 20 m

9.8 J at 1 m

Explanation:

The gravitational potential energy (GPE) of an object is the energy possessed by the object due to its position in the gravitational field.

For an object near the Earth's surface, the GPE is given by

$GPE=mgh$

where

m is the mass of the object

$g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of gravity at Earth's surface

h is the heigth of the object relative to the ground

For the rock in this problem,

m = 1 kg

So its GPE at h = 50 m is

$GPE(50)=(1)(9.8)(50)=490 J$

The GPE at h = 20 m is

$GPE(20)=(1)(9.8)(20)=196 J$

While the GPE at h = 1 m is

$GPE(1)=(1)(9.8)(1)=9.8 J$

If a car has a velocity of 85 km/hr, how long will it take to accelerate to 45 km/hr if the acceleration is -3 km/hr/sec?

weqwewe [10]

Answer:

Time, t = 13.34 seconds.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Initial velocity, u = 85km/hr to meters per seconds = 85*1000/3600 = 23.61 m/s

Final velocity, v = 45km/hr to meters per seconds = 45*1000/3600 = 12.5 m/s

Acceleration, a = -3 km/hr/sec to meters per seconds square = -3*1000/3600 = -0.833m/s²

To find the time;

Acceleration = (v - u)/t

-0.833 = (12.5 - 23.61)/t

-0.833t = -11.11

t = 11.11/0.833

Time, t = 13.34 seconds.

You drive on Interstate 10 from San Antonio to Houston, half the time at 72 km/h and the other half at 98 km/h. On the way back

zimovet [89]

Answer: a. 85km/hr b.82.3km/hr

c. 84km/hr

Explanation: first let take the total time from San Antonio to Houston to be 2hr.

Half time 1hr was covered with speed of 72km/hr

Distance = speed*time=72km/hr *1hr

=72km

So too with the second half of 1hr covered with speed of 98km/hr

Distance = 98km

Total distance from Houston to San Antonio is 98+72 =170km

a. Average speed from San Antonio to Houston is

S1 =170/2

=85km/hr

b.half distance from Houston to San Antonio which is 170km/2

= 85km was covered with speed of 72km/hr first half, so time

t = dist/speed

t = 85/72 = 1hr 12 mins

Remaining 85 km covered with a speed of 98km/hr

Time = 85/98 = 0.88*60min

= 52 mins

Total time = 1hr +12mins +52mins

=2hr4mins= 124/60 hr

So average speed = distance/time

=170/124/60

Using reciprocal law

Average speed S2= 170*60/124

= 82.3km/hr

C. Average speed to and fro(entire tripe)

= (85+82.3)/2

=84km/hr

Which device uses a rotating electric power source to produce a magnetic field?

faltersainse [42]

Answer:

A. a motor

Explanation:

A motor is an electrical device or machine that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. That is, a motor takes electrical energy to produce motion. There are different types of motors such as DC motor, induction motor and so on.

When electrical current flows through a coil, a magnetic flux is been produced, therefore when a rotating power source is supplied to coil of a motor, a magnetic field is produced which causes torque.

If a voltmeter has a less than ideal resistance, say 1 MΩ, and is used to measure the voltage across a resistor of a comparable

Naddik [55]

Answer:

As the difference between the resistance of voltmeter and the resistance being measured gets reduced the error in the reading of the voltmeter gets increased.

Explanation:

An ideal voltmeter has infinite parallel resistance and because of this it doesn't draw any current from the circuit of measurement which means it will measure the exact voltage across the elements.

But practically speaking, a real voltmeter doesn't has infinite resistance therefore, all the practical voltmeters face loading effect to some extent.

As the difference between the resistance of voltmeter and the resistance being measured gets reduced the error in the reading of the voltmeter gets increased. This is why we want to have a greater value of voltmeter resistance, ideally infinite so that the corresponding error is minimized.

Lets consider the given scenario,

A voltmeter has 1 MΩ parallel resistance and the resistance of of measuring element is 500 kΩ or 0.5 MΩ

lets suppose the supplied voltage is 1 V.

First lets assume that the voltmeter is ideal and it has infinite resistance, so in this case voltmeter will measure a voltage of 1 V across the 0.5 MΩ resistor.

Now consider the loading effect, when we connect the voltmeter across the 0.5 MΩ resistor they both become parallel so the resistance is

R = (1*0.5)/(1+0.5)

R = 0.33 MΩ

As you can see the voltmeter will see a reduced resistance and the corresponding voltage also reduces because resistance and voltage are directly proportional.

Therefore, it is preferred to have a very high parallel resistance of the voltmeter.
