If a boulder has a mass of 50 kg and a potential energy of 490 j what is the height of the boulder

1 answer:

6 0

Potential energy = mass x g x height.
height = potential energy/mass x g
acceleration due to gravity on earth is 9.8 m/s
filling in your variables gives us:
490/50 x 9.8 = 1 meter

The householder installs cavity wall insulation. What would happen to the time taken for the temperature to fall between points

scoundrel [369]

Answer:

the answers the correct one is: the time increases

Explanation:

When an insulating material is placed in the cavity of a wall the thermal conductivity of the system increases, therefore the temperature changes take longer.

P= dQ / dt = K A dT / dx

when placing insulation the value of k is less

When reviewing the answers the correct one is: the time increases

What is the term for the depth of the water needed to float a boat?

mina [271]

<span> The term for the depth of the water needed to make a boat afloat is called the draft of the boat. It can be measured as the distance from the water surface down the lowest point of the vessel. It can be imagined as the submerged portion of the boat during navigation.</span>

One point of the circuit is grounded (V = 0). What are the (a) size and (b) direction (up or down) of the current through resist

Svetach [21]

<h3>Answer:</h3>

(a) <u>i₁ = 0.03818 A = 38.18 mA</u>

(b) downward

(c) <u>i₂ = 0.01091 A = 10.91 mA</u>

(d) rightward

(e) <u>i₃ = 0.02727 A = 27.27 mA</u>

(f) leftward

(g) <u>Eₐ = 3.818 Volts</u>

<h3>Question:</h3>

The complete question is stated below and the figure is provided in the attachment:

In Fig. 27-47, E 1 = 6.00 V, E 2 = 12.0 V, R1 = 100 Ω,

R2 = 200 Ω, and R3 = 300 Ω. One point of the circuit is grounded

(V = 0). What are the (a) size and (b) direction (up or down) of the

current through resistance 1, the (c) size and (d) direction

(left or right) of the current through resistance 2, and the

(e) size and (f) direction of the current through resistance 3?

(g) What is the electric potential at point A?

<h3></h3><h3>Explanation:</h3>

Applying Kirchoff's voltage law in the loops of botg E₁ and E₂, in the clockwise and anti clockwise direction:

E₁ - i₂R₂ - i₁R₁ = 0

E₂ - i₃R₃ - i₁R₁ = 0

If, we apply Kirchhoff's current law at junction A, we get:

i₁ = i₂ + i₃

Using these relations in loop equations, and re-arranging:

E₁ - i₂R₂ - (i₂ + i₃) R₁ = 0 ___________ eqn (1)

E₂ - i₃R₃ - (i₂ + i₃) R₁ = 0 ___________ eqn (2)

Eqn (1) implies:

6 - 200 i₂ - 100 i₂ - 100 i₃ = 0

i₂ = (6 - 100i₃)/300

Eqn (2) implies:

12 - 300 i₃ - 100 i₂ - 100 i₃ = 0

12 - 400 i₃ = 100 i₂

using value of i₃ from eqn (1)

12 - 400 i₃ = (1/3)(6 - 100 i₃)

36 - 1200 i₃ = 6 - 100 i₃

1100 i₃ = 30

using this value in eqn of i₂:

i₂ = [6 - 100(0.02727)]/300

i₂ = (6 - 2.727)/300

Since:

i₁ = i₂ + i₃

i₁ = 0.01091 A + 0.02727 A

<u></u>

(a)

(b)

Since, the value of current is positive, thus it will have the direction that was assumed.

Therefore, its direction will <u>downward</u>

(c)

(d)

Since, the value of current is positive, thus it will have the direction that was assumed.

Therefore, its direction will <u>rightward</u>

(e)

(f)

Since, the value of current is positive, thus it will have the direction that was assumed.

Therefore, its direction will <u>leftward</u>

With respect to the grounded portion, the potential drop at the resistance 1 will be equal to the potential at A Eₐ.

Therefore,

Eₐ = i₁R₁

Eₐ = (0.03818 A)(100 Ω)

<u>Eₐ = 3.818 Volts</u>
