If an airplane with a mass of 5 tons has gravitational potential energy of 1000 kilojoules, what is its height?

VLD [36.1K]3 years ago

The gravitational potential energy of an object, measured with respect to the ground, is given by
U=mgh
where m is the object's mass, g is the gravitational acceleration and h is the height of the object measured from the ground.

In our problem, the mass of the plane is m= 5 tons = 5000 kg, while the potential energy is
U=1000 kJ=1 \cdot 10^6 J
so we can re-arrange the previous formula and use these data to calculate h, the height of the airplane:
h= \frac{U}{mg}= \frac{1 \cdot 10^6 J}{(5000 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)} =20.39 m

A 6- F capacitor is charged to 90 V and is then connected across a 700- resistor. What is the initial charge on the capacitor
Lorico [155]

Answer:

540C.

Explanation:

A capacitor of capacitance C when charged to a voltage of V will have a charge Q given as follows;

Q = CV          ----------(i)

From the question, the initial charge on the capacitor is the charge on it before it was connected to the resistor. In other words, the initial charge on the capacitor will have a maximum value which can be calculated using equation (i) above.

Where;

C = 6F

V = 90V

Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;

Q = 6 x 90

Q = 540 C

Therefore, the initial charge on the capacitor is 540C.

The muzzle velocity of a rifle bullet is 709 m s−1along the direction of motion. If the bullet weighs 35 g, and the uncertainty
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

Uncertainty in position of the bullet is \Delta x=1.07\times 10^{-33}\ m

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the bullet, m = 35 g = 0.035 kg

Velocity of bullet, v = 709 m/s

The uncertainty in momentum is 0.20%. The momentum of the bullet is given by :

p=mv

p=0.035\times 709=24.81\ kg-m/s

Uncertainty in momentum is,

\Delta p=0.2\%\ of\ 24.81

\Delta p=0.049

We need to find the uncertainty in position. It can be calculated using Heisenberg uncertainty principal as :

\Delta p.\Delta x\geq \dfrac{h}{4\pi}

\Delta x=\dfrac{h}{4\pi \Delta p}

\Delta x=\dfrac{6.62\times 10^{-34}}{4\pi \times 0.049}

\Delta x=1.07\times 10^{-33}\ m

Hence, this is the required solution.

LOTS OF POINTS!!!
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

Explanation: The two main types of nuclear power are nuclear fusion and fission. Nuclear fission is used in nuclear power plants to create elements. Nuclear fission works by having a stray neutron collide with a nucleus. When this happens, it breaks the nucleus up, and another nuclei collides with another nucleus. A chain reaction occurs as this process continues. I personally think this type of nuclear power is dangerous because the result is radioactive byproducts. Also, meltdowns can occur in a nuclear power plant as a result of nuclear fission. I think nuclear fusion would be a much safer energy source. It is cheap and practically unlimited. Nuclear fusion occurs when two nuclei fuse together to create a larger nucleus. Nuclear fusion also proves Albert Einstein's equation E=mc2. The element you start out with is greater than the element you end up with after fusion occurs. This is due to some of the matter actually being converted into energy, which agrees with Einstein's equation. I think nuclear fusion is a safer energy source because it does not create radioactive byproducts that can be potentially harmful. Nuclear fusion, however, is not understood that well by scientists. As a result, we continue to use nuclear fission because we know how to use it. Until scientists fully understand nuclear fusion, scientists will continue to use nuclear fission for energy sources.

Assume that the turntable deccelerated during time Δt before reaching the final angular velocity ( Δt is the time interval betwe
Zina [86]

Answer:

See below...

Explanation:

Let’s express ⟨α⟩ in terms of ωi , ωf , and Δt. and torque in terms of It , ωi , ωf , and Δt.

STEP 1.  

The rate of change of angular velocity is Angular acceleration.  

The net change in angular velocity is Average angular acceleration divided by the elapsed time.

⟨α⟩ = ω f −ω i/Δt

STEP 2.

Torque is assumed this way

          dω

   τ = I ----

           dt

.

⟨τ ⟩ = I t (ω f −ω i )/Δt
