Two paths lead to the top of a big hill. One is steep and direct, while the other is twice as long but less steep. How much more

gravitational potential energy would you gain if you took the longer path

Answer:

None.

Explanation:

  • Gravitational potential energy, depends only of the mass on which the gravity is doing work, and the displacement produced by this force.
  • As displacement depends only on the final and initial positions (in this case, the height of the hill), if we choose as our zero reference level the bottom of the hill, the change in gravitational potential energy will be as follows:

       \Delta U = U_{f} -U_{0} = m*g*h - 0  = m*g*h

  • As we can see, the only value of distance involved is the height of the hill , so it is independent of the distance travelled.

A 10 µf capacitor is charged to 108 v and is then connected across a 328 ω resistor. what is the initial charge on the capacitor
valina [46]
The capacitance is defined as the maximum charge stored in a capacitor, Q, divided by the voltage applied, V:
C= \frac{Q}{V}

The capacitor is initially charged with the battery of 108 V, so the the initial charge on the capacitor can be found by re-arranging the previous formula:
Q=CV=(10 \mu F)(108 V)=1080 \mu C

Nancys airplane trip took 4 hour. For one-fourth of that time, the airplane flew at a speed of 880 km/h, it flew at a speed of 6
9966 [12]
So for a minute lets ignore the 880 km/h. If it took 4 hours and she flew at 600 km/h 600*4=2400. Now lets Look at the 880 bit. If it took 4 hours and she where to fly at 880 it would've been 880*4=3520. Lets do 2400-600=1800, now we've got the 600 kmh bit done. Now lets see if you fly 880 km/h for one hour then you add 1800+880=2680.
