Answer:

Critical thinking is the analysis of facts to form a judgment. The subject is complex, and several different definitions exist, which generally include the rational, skeptical, unbiased analysis, or evaluation of factual evidence

How much potential energy foes a 5kg mass have when its 2 meters above the ground?(Hint :PE=m*g*h)

frez [133]

Answer:

Explanation:

The potential energy of a body can be found by using the formula

PE = mgh

where

m is the mass

h is the height

g is the acceleration due to gravity which is 9.8 m/s²

From the question we have

PE = 5 × 9.8 × 2

We have the final answer as

David is driving a steady 28.0 m/s when he passes Tina, who is sitting in her car at rest. Tina begins to accelerate at a steady

rodikova [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let t represent the time for Tina to catch David.

Hence, considering the equation of linear motion S = ut + 1/2at^2..... 1

For David u = 28.0 m/s where 'a' is set to nought

S = ut

S = 28t.......2

For Tina consider equation 1

Where acceleration = 2.90m/s^2 and u is set at nought

S = 1/2×2.90 m/s×t^2.......3

Equate 2 and 3

28t = 1.45t^2

Divide through by t

28 = 1.45t

t = 28/1.45

t = 19.31seconds

Now put the value of t into equation 3

S = 1/2×2.90 m/s×t^2.......3

= 1.45×20×20

= 580m

Tina must have driven 580meters before passing David

Considering the equation of linear motion : V^2 = U^2+2as

Where u is set at nought

V^2 = 2as

V^2 = 2×2.9×580

V^2 = 3364

V = √3364

V = 58m/s

Her speed will be 58m/s

Determine W (or fuel energy) required to launch a satellite of mass m at rest from a launching pad placed at the surface earth,

jeka57 [31]

Answer:

5. 9GmM/(10R)

Explanation:

m is the mass of the satellite

M is the mass of the earth

W is the energy required to launch the satellite

Energy at earth surface = Potential energy (PE) + W

W = Energy at earth surface - Potential energy (PE)

But PE = $-\frac{GMm}{R}$

Therefore: W = Energy at earth surface - $\frac{GMm}{R}$

Energy at earth surface (E) at an altitude of 5R = $-\frac{GMm}{5r} +\frac{1}{2}mV^2$

But $V=\sqrt{\frac{GM}{5R} }$

Therefore: $E=-\frac{GMm}{5R}+\frac{1}{2}m(\sqrt{\frac{GM}{5R} } )^2= -\frac{GMm}{5R}+\frac{GMm}{10R} = -\frac{GMm}{10R}$

W = E - PE

$W=-\frac{GMm}{10R}-(-\frac{GMm}{R})=-\frac{GMm}{10R}+\frac{GMm}{R}=\frac{9GMm}{10R} \\W=\frac{9GMm}{10R}$

The resistance of resistor is greater for:

Monica [59]

Answer:

c: long and thin resistor.

Explanation:

The resistance of a resistor is given by:

R = ρ*L/A

where:

R = resistance

ρ = resistivity (depends on the material)

L = length of the material

A = cross-sectional area of the material

We can see that the length is on the numerator, which means that if we increase the length, then the resistance is increased.

We also can see that the cross-sectional area is on the denominator, then if we increase the area (for example, with a ticker resistor) the resistance decreases.

Then if we want to maximize the resistance, we need to have a long and thin resistor, so the correct answer is c.
