Answer : The correct option is (c).

Explanation :

The energy which is due to the height of an object under the action of gravity is called gravitational potential energy.

Mathematically, it can be written as :

P = m g h

Where,

m is the mass of the object

g is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height of the object from the reference level

So, potential energy is directly proportional to both the mass and the height.

The statement about the largest increase in a mountain climber’s gravitational potential energy is "carrying twice the weight and climbing twice as high".

An important dimensionless parameter in certain types of fluid flow problems is the Froude number defined as V/√g.l where V is a

prohojiy [21]

Answer:

1.24611

Explanation:

V = Velocity = 10 ft/s

L = Length = 2 ft

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 32.2 ft/s²

Froude number is given by

$Fr=\dfrac{V}{\sqrt{gL}}\\\Rightarrow Fr=\dfrac{10}{\sqrt{32.2\times 2}}\\\Rightarrow Fr=1.24611$

Converting to SI units

$10\ ft/s=10\times \dfrac{1}{3.281}$

$32.2\ ft/s^2=32.2\times \dfrac{1}{3.281}$

$2\ ft=2\times \dfrac{1}{3.281}$

$Fr=\dfrac{V}{\sqrt{gL}}\\\Rightarrow Fr=\dfrac{10\times \dfrac{1}{3.281}}{\sqrt{32.2\times \dfrac{1}{3.281}\times 2\times \dfrac{1}{3.281}}}\\\Rightarrow Fr=1.24611$

The Froude number is 1.24611

The Froude number is equal. The Froude number is dimensionless as the units cancel each other. In order for this to happen the units used need to be consitent either imperial or SI.

The voltage across the terminals of a generator is 5.7 v when it supplies a current of 0.3 A. It becomes 5.1 V when I=0.9A. Find

snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

The emf of the generator is 6V

The internal resistance of the generator is 1 Ω

Explanation:

Given;

terminal voltage, V = 5.7 V, when the current, I = 0.3 A

terminal voltage, V = 5.1 V, when the current, I = 0.9 A

The emf of the generator is calculated as;

E = V + Ir

where;

E is the emf of the generator

r is the internal resistance

First case:

E = 5.7 + 0.3r -------- (1)

Second case:

E = 5.1 + 0.9r -------- (2)

Since the emf E, is constant in both equations, we will have the following;

5.1 + 0.9r = 5.7 + 0.3r

collect similar terms together;

0.9r - 0.3r = 5.7 - 5.1

0.6r = 0.6

r = 0.6/0.6

r = 1 Ω

Now, determine the emf of the generator;

E = V + Ir

E = 5.1 + 0.9x1

E = 5.1 + 0.9

E = 6 V

The equivalence between gravitational and inertial mass is explained in : the set of all of the events that happened on Earth

xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

The correct answer is theory of general relativity.

Explanation:

According to the statement of equivalence the gravitational mass force on an object standing on the surface of earth is same as the pseudo force that acts on it if it accelerated at acceleration equal to acceleration due to gravity.

According to Einestine both the forces are indistinguishable as both the forces produce same effects. Thus both are equivalent and thus gravity is a phenomenon that can be analysed in a radically different way which gives some strange results such as bending of light, existence of black holes,e.t.c
