<span>82.0 kg I am going to assume that there is a typo for the number of joules of energy. Doing a google search for this exact question showed this question multiple times with a value of 4942 joules which makes sense given how close the "o" key is to the "9" key. Because of this, I will assume that the correct value for the number of joules is 4942. With that in mind, here's the solution. The gravitational potential energy is expressed as the mass multiplied by the height, multiplied by the local gravitational acceleration. So: E = MHA Solving for M, the substituting the known values and calculating gives: E = MHA E/(HA) = M 4942/(6.15*9.8) = M 4942/60.27 = M 81.99767712 = M Rounding to 3 significant figures gives 82.0 kg</span>

Gravitational potential energy is given by 

 U=mgh

 where 

 m is the mass of the object 

 h is the height of the object above the ground (Earth's surface)

 g is the gravitational acceleration constant, 9.8ms2.

 For h=6.15m and U=4042J, we can rearrange to solve for m:

 m=U/gh

 m=(4042J)/((9.8m/s^2)*(6.15m))

 m=67.06 Kg

A 10 µf capacitor is charged to 108 v and is then connected across a 328 ω resistor. what is the initial charge on the capacitor
valina [46]
The capacitance is defined as the maximum charge stored in a capacitor, Q, divided by the voltage applied, V:
C= \frac{Q}{V}

The capacitor is initially charged with the battery of 108 V, so the the initial charge on the capacitor can be found by re-arranging the previous formula:
Q=CV=(10 \mu F)(108 V)=1080 \mu C

A point charge q1=2.0μC is located on the positive y axis at y=0.30m, and an identical charge q2 is at the origin. Find the magn
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

(A) 0.279N at angle 38.02°

(B) 0.701N

(C) 14.19°

Explanation:

(A) The net force on q3 is given as:

F = Fxi + Fyj

Fx is the x component of the force

Fy is the y component of the force

Fx = -F(1, 3)cos(90 - x) + F(2, 3)cos0

Fy = -F(2, 3)cosx - F(2, 3)cos90 = -F(2, 3)cosx

First let us find y and angle x from the diagram.

Using Pythagoras theorem,

y² = 0.3² + 0.4²

y² = 0.25

y = 0.5m

Using SOHCAHTOA to find x,

sinx = 0.4/0.5

x = 53.13°

Electrostatic force, F is given as:

F = kqQ/r²

Where k = Coulumbs constant

F(1,3) = (k*q1*q3) / r²

F(1, 3) = (9 * 10^9 * 2.0 * 10^(-6) * 4.0 * 10^(-6)) / (0.5²)

F(1, 3) = 0.288N

F(2,3) = (k*q2*q3) / r²

F(2, 3) = (9 * 10^9 * 2.0 * 10^(-6) * 4.0 * 10^(-6)) / (0.4²)

F(2, 3) = 0.45N

Therefore,

Fx = -0.288cos36.87 + 0.45

Fx = 0.22N

Fy = 0.288cos53.13

Fy = 0.172N

=> F = 0.22i + 0.172j

The magnitude of the force will be

F(mag) = √(0.22² + 0.172²)

F(mag) = 0.279N

The direction of the force makes will be

tanθ = Fy/Fx

tanθ = 0.172/0.22 = 0.781

θ = 38.02° to the x axis.

(B) q2 = - 2.0 * 10^(-6)

This implies that:

F(2,3) = (k*q2*q3) / r²

F(2, 3) = (9 * 10^9 * -2.0 * 10^(-6) * 4.0 * 10^(-6)) / (0.4²)

F(2, 3) = -0.45N

Therefore,

Fx = -0.288cos36.87 - 0.45

Fx = -0.68N

Fy = 0.172N

=> F = - 0.68i + 0.172j

The magnitude of the force will be

F(mag) = √((-0.68)² + 0.172²)

F(mag) = 0.701N

(C) The direction of the force makes will be

tanθ = 0.172/0.68

θ = 14.19° to the x axis

A block of ice at 0 degrees C, whose mass is initially 62 kg, slides along a horizontal surface, starting at a speed of 5.48 m/s
Kryger [21]

The mass of ice melted as a result of friction between the ice and the horizontal surface is 2.78g

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given,

Temperature, T = 0°C

Initial mass, Mi = 62kg

Speed, s = 5.48m/s

Distance, x = 26.8m

Friction is present.

Mass of ice melted = ?

We know,

The amount of energy required for the melting of ice is exactly equal to the initial kinetic energy of the block of ice

and

            Kinetic Energy, KE = \frac{1}{2} mv^2

Therefore,    KE = \frac{62 X  5.48 X 5.48}{2}

KE = 930.94 Joules

Ice melting lateral heat is  334 kJ/kg = 334000 J/kg.

Therefore, the melted mass of the ice = 930.94 / 334000 = 0.00278 kg = 2.78 g.

Thus, The mass of ice melted as a result of friction between the ice and the horizontal surface is 2.78g
