Answer:

Mass and height

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy is energy an object possesses because of its position in a gravitational field. The most common use of gravitational potential energy is for an object near the surface of the Earth where the gravitational acceleration can be assumed to be constant at about $9.8 m/s2.$

Which is represented as;

$PE_g=mgh$

$PE_g$ stands for gravitational potantial energy,

m stands for mass of object,

g is the gravitational constant and

h is the height.

Here we see that mass of object and height is directly proportional to the gravitational potential energy.

That means increasing in mass and height will result in increasing gravitational potential energy.

An elastic conducting material is stretched into a circular loop of 11.2 cm radius. It is placed with its plane perpendicular to

anygoal [31]

Answer:

0.426 volts

Explanation:

It is given that,

The radius of a circular loop, r = 11.2 cm = 0.112 m

An elastic conducting material is stretched into a circular loop.

It is placed with its plane perpendicular to a uniform 0.880 T magnetic field.

The radius of the loop starts to shrink at an instantaneous rate of 68.8 cm/s, dr/dt = 0.688 m/s

We need to find the emf induced in the loop at that instant.

$\epsilon=\dfrac{-d\phi}{dt}\\\\=\dfrac{d}{dt}(BA)\\\\=\dfrac{d}{dt}(\pi r^2 B)\\\\=\pi B\dfrac{d}{dt}(r^2)\\\\=2\pi B r\dfrac{dr}{dt}\\\\=2\pi \times 0.88\times 0.112\times 0.688\\\\=0.426\ V$

So, the magnitude of induced emf is 0.426 volts.

Describe one common critique or criticism of Utilitarianism. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this criticism?

lisabon 2012 [21]

The second most common criticism of utilitarianism is that it is impossible to apply - that happiness (etc) cannot be quantified or measured, that there is no way of calculating a trade-off between intensity and extent, or intensity and probability (etc), or comparing happiness to suffering.

A paper-filled capacitor is charged to a potential difference of V0=2.5 V. The dielectric constant of paper is k=3.7 . The capac

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

k = 6.72

Explanation:

K of paper = 3.7

k of air = 1

Given that charge Q on the capacitor is constant because cell is disconnected from the circuit. So

V = Q / C = 2.5

Capacity becomes C / 3.7 in air .

capacity becomes C/3.7 when paper is replaced by air .

V₁ = Q / (C/3.7)

= 3.7 Q/C

3.7 x 2.5

= 9.25 V

In the second case ,

capacitance due to new unknown dielectric k

= C/3.7 x k

= kC / 3.7 ( Capacitance in air is C/3.7 )

V ( new ) = Q / ( kC/3.7 )

= 3.7 Q/kC

.55 x 2.5 = 3.7 x( 2.5 / k )

k = 3.7 / .55

= 6.72

polet [3.4K]

Here is the answer to the given question above. If Angela has been feeling fatigued and a test is used to check the basal metabolic rate and revealed that she has a low metabolic rate, therefore, the possible diagnosis for Angela would be HYPOTHYROIDISM. <span>The BMR test works by precisely measuring the amount of oxygen that you consume when your body is basal, or completely at rest. Hope this answers your question.</span>

A roundabout in a fairground requires an input power of 2.5 kW when operating at a constant angular velocity of 0.47 rad s–1 . (

natita [175]

Answer:

Explanation:

Since the roundabout is rotating with uniform velocity ,

input power = frictional power

frictional power = 2.5 kW

frictional torque x angular velocity = 2.5 kW

frictional torque x .47 = 2.5 kW

frictional torque = 2.5 / .47 kN .m

= 5.32 kN . m

= 5 kN.m

b )

When power is switched off , it will decelerate because of frictional torque .
