2. A brick is sitting on a building 22 m high. It has a mass of 7.9 kg. What amount of potential

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

1703.24J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of brick = 7.9kg

Height of building = 22m

Unknown:

Potential energy of the brick = ?

Solution:

The potential energy of a body is the energy at rest of the body. Mathematically;

P.E = mgh

m is the mass of the brick

g is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height of the building

Insert the given parameters and solve;

P.E = 7.9 x 9.8 x 22 = 1703.24J

Two 0.50 g spheres are charged equally and placed 2.5 cm apart. When released, they begin to accelerate at 170 m/s^2 .What is th

vitfil [10]

Answer:

$q=7.65*10^{-8}C$

Explanation:

Using Newton's second law, we calculate the magnitude of the electric force between the spheres:

$F=ma\\F=0.5*10^{-3}kg(170\frac{m}{s^2})\\F=0.085N$

The magnitude of the charge in both spheres is the same. So, we calculate the charge, using Coulomb's law:

$F=\frac{kq^2}{d^2}\\q=\sqrt\frac{Fd^2}{k}\\q=\sqrt\frac{(0.085N)(2.5*10^{-2}m)^2}{8.99*10^9\frac{N\cdot m^2}{C^2}}\\q=7.65*10^{-8}C$

In a pig caller can produce a sound intensity level of 107 dB. How many pig callers would be needed to generate an intensity lev

myrzilka [38]

Answer:

20 pig callers

Explanation:

Given that:

A pig caller produced intensity level of a sound = 107 dB

To find how many pig callers required to generate an intensity level of 120 dB;

we have:

120 dB - 107 dB = 13 dB

Taking the logarithm function;

$10 \ log \bigg(\dfrac{I}{I_o} \bigg) = 13 \ dB$

where;

$I_o$ = initial intensity

$log \bigg(\dfrac{I}{I_o} \bigg) = 1.3$

$\dfrac{I}{I_o}= 10^{1.3 }$

I = 19.95 $I_o$

I ≅ 20 pig callers

The plug has a diameter of 30 mm and fits within a rigid sleeve having an inner diameter of 32 mm. Both the plug and the sleeve

Katena32 [7]

Answer:

P=740 KPa

Δ=7.4 mm

Explanation:

Given that

Diameter of plunger,d=30 mm

Diameter of sleeve ,D=32 mm

Length .L=50 mm

E= 5 MPa

n=0.45

As we know that

Lateral strain

$\varepsilon _t=\dfrac{D-d}{d}$

$\varepsilon _t=\dfrac{32-30}{30}$

$\varepsilon _t=0.0667$

We know that

$n=-\dfrac{\epsilon _t}{\varepsilon _{long}}$

$\varepsilon _{long}=-\dfrac{\epsilon _t}{n}$

$\varepsilon _{long}=-\dfrac{0.0667}{0.45}$

$\varepsilon _{long}=-0.148$

So the axial pressure

$P=E\times \varepsilon _{long}$

$P=5\times 0.148$

P=740 KPa

The movement in the sleeve

$\Delta =\varepsilon _{long}\times L$

$\Delta =0.148\times 50$

Δ=7.4 mm

One cereal bar has a mass of 37 g. What is the mass of 6 cereal bars? Is that more than or less than 1 kg? Explain your answer.

GuDViN [60]

The mass is 222g. No, it is less than 1kg. There are 1000 grams in a kilogram so it would be 0.222kg. Hope this Helps :D
