A ball of mass 0.500 kg is carefully balanced on a shelf that is 2.70 m above the ground. What is its gravitational potential en

ratelena [41]

Answer:

The gravitational potential energy of the ball is 13.23 J.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the ball, m = 0.5 kg

height of the shelf, h = 2.7 m

The gravitational potential energy is given by;

P.E = mgh

where;

m is mass of the ball

g is acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

h is height of the ball

Substitute the givens and solve for gravitational potential energy;

PE = (0.5 x 9.8 x 2.7)

P.E = 13.23 J

Therefore, the gravitational potential energy of the ball is 13.23 J.

You stand on a bridge above a river and drop a rock into the water below from a height of 25 m. (Assume no air resistance)

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

PART a)

here when stone is dropped there is only gravitational force on it

so its acceleration is only due to gravity

so we will have

$a = g = 9.8 m/s^2$

Part b)

Now from kinematics equation we will have

$y = v_i t + \frac{1}{2} at^2$

now we have

y = 25 m

so from above equation

$25 = 0 + \frac{1}{2}(9.8 )t^2$

$t = 2.26 s$

Part c)

If we throw the rock horizontally by speed 20 m/s

then in this case there is no change in the vertical velocity

so it will take same time to reach the water surface as it took initially

So t = 2.26 s

Part D)

Initial speed = 20 m/s

angle of projection = 65 degree

now we have

$v_x = vcos\theta$

$v_x = 20 cos65 = 8.45 m/s$

$v_y = vsin\theta$

$v_y = 20 sin65 = 18.13 m/s$

PART E)

when stone will reach to maximum height then we know that its final speed in y direction becomes zero

so here we can use kinematics in Y direction

$v_f - v_y = at$

$0 - 18.13 = (-9.8) t$

$t = 1.85 s$

so it will take 1.85 s to reach the top

Each of the following statements is arguably true of thermometers. Which of them is most helpful to keep in mind if you are cond

Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

The temperature reported by a thermometer is never precisely the same as its surroundings

Explanation:

In this experiment to determine the specific heat of a material the theory explains that when a heat interchange takes place between two bodies that were having different temperatures at the start, the quantity of heat the warmer body looses is equal to that gained by the cooler body to reach the equilibrium temperature. <u>This is true only if no heat is lost or gained from the surrounding.</u> If heat is gained or lost from the surrounding environment, the temperature readings by the thermometer will be incorrect. The experimenter should therefore keep in mind that for accurate results, the temperature recorded by the thermometer is similar to that of the surrounding at the start of the experiment and if it differs then note that there is either heat gained or lost to the environment.
