What is the definition of "gravitational potential energy"?

Physics

According to Georgia State University, gravitational potential energy<span> is the energy an object possesses because of its position in a gravitational field. This is most commonly in reference to an object near the surface of the Earth, where the gravitational acceleration is assumed to be constant at about 9.8 m/s2.</span>

Kiera, a 330 N girl, steps in water that someone spilt on the floor. The coefficient of kinetic friction between Kiera and the f
shutvik [7]

Answer:

<em>The force of kinetic friction between Kiera and the floor is 9.24 N</em>

Explanation:

<u>Friction Force</u>

When an object is moving and encounters friction in rough surfaces, it loses acceleration and/or velocity because the friction force opposes motion.

The friction force when an object is moving on a horizontal surface is calculated by:

Fr=\mu N

Where μ is the coefficient of static or kinetics friction and N is the normal force.

If no forces other then the weight and the normal are acting upon the y-direction, then the weight and the normal are equal in magnitude:

N = W

Thus, the friction force is:

Fr=\mu W

Kiera, the W=330 N girl steps in water that has a coefficient of friction of μ=0.028 with the floor.

The kinetic friction force is:

Fr = 0.028*330

Fr = 9.24 N

The force of kinetic friction between Kiera and the floor is 9.24 N

How much energy ( in joules ) is released when 0.06 kilograms of mercury is condensed to a liquid at the same temperature ?
aleksley [76]

Answer:

B. 17,705.1 J

Explanation:

The hear released when the mercury condenses into a liquid is given by:

Q=m \lambda_v

where

m = 0.06 kg is the mass of the mercury

\lambda_v is the latent heat of vaporization

For mercury, the latent heat of vaporization is \lambda_v = 296 kJ/kg, so the heat released during the process is:

Q=(0.06 kg)(296 kJ/kg)=17.76 kJ = 17,760 J

So, the closest option is

B. 17,705.1 J

An electromagnetic wave has a frequency of 4.0 x 1018 Hz. What is the
trapecia [35]

Answer: D

Wavelength λ = 7.5 × 10^-11 m

Explanation:

You are given the frequency of an electromagnetic wave to be:

F = 4.0 x 1018 Hz. And the speed of light C to be

C = 3 × 10^8 m/s

From wave speed formula:

Wave speed is the product of waves frequency and wavelength. That is,

V = fλ

Where

f = frequency

λ = wavelength

V = C = speed of light

Substitute the values of the parameters into the formula

C = fλ

3 × 10^8 = 4 × 10^18 × λ

Make λ the subject of formula

λ = (3×10^8)/(4×10^18)

λ = 7.5 × 10^-11 m

Therefore, the wavelength of the wave is 7.5 × 10^-11 m
