Answer:
1. G.P.E = 24 J
2. center of mass
Explanation:
Given the following data;
Mass = 2kg
Height, h = 1.2m
Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 N/kg or m/s².
To find the gravitational potential energy;
Gravitational potential energy (GPE) is an energy possessed by an object or body due to its position above the earth.
Mathematically, gravitational potential energy is given by the formula;

Where;
- G.P.E represents potential energy measured in Joules.
- m represents the mass of an object.
- g represents acceleration due to gravity measured in meters per seconds square.
- h represents the height measured in meters.
Substituting into the formula, we have;

G.P.E = 23.52 to 2 S.F = 24 Joules.
Translation kinetic energy is defined as the energy of a system due to the motion of the system’s center of mass. The center of mass is typically where the mass of the object or particle is concentrated.
Answer:
A. The pressure denoted as Pa and Pb at the surfaces of A and B in the tube is
PA= Pgas
PB= Patmos
B. The second sketch
C. The gas pressure is
Pgas= Patmos+ rho.g(h2-h1)
= 1atm + rho.g (h2-h1)
Explanation:
Answer:
0.66c
Explanation:
Use length contraction equation:
L = L₀ √(1 − (v²/c²))
where L is the contracted length,
L₀ is the length at 0 velocity,
v is the velocity,
and c is the speed of light.
900 = 1200 √(1 − (v²/c²))
3/4 = √(1 − (v²/c²))
9/16 = 1 − (v²/c²)
v²/c² = 7/16
v = ¼√7 c
v ≈ 0.66 c
The electric potential at point A in the electric field= 0.099 x 10 ⁻¹v
<u>Explanation</u>:
Given data,
charge = 5.5 x 10¹² C
k =9.00 x 10⁹
The electric potential V of a point charge can found by,
V= kQ / r
Assuming, r=5.00×10⁻² m
V= 5.5 x 10⁻¹²C x 9.00 x 10⁹ / 5.00×10⁻² m
V= 49.5 x 10⁻³/ 5.00×10⁻²
Electric potential V= 0.099 x 10⁻¹v
