Which has a greater effect on potential energy: mass or height?

Physics

Neither does. Their effects are <em>EQUAL.</em>

Potential energy = (MASS) x (gravity) x (HEIGHT)

You should be able to look at this formula and see that the effects of mass and height are equal.  Gravitational potential energy is directly proportional to both of them.

If you want to increase the potential energy of some object, say, by 42%, you can do it either way ... either increase the object's mass by 42%, OR raise the object 42% higher than it is now.  Either of those changes will have the same effect on the object's potential energy.

Sidana [21]
The volume of the cylinder is: 
V= pi* (r^2) * h. 

So the volume is = pi * (5.7/2)^2 * 12 = 306.2 in^2. 
Since it is scaled up by the factor of 1.5, so we have to multiply each dimension with 1.5. 
That means the diameter will be 8.55 and the height will be 18. so the scaled up volume will be

=pi * ((5.7*1.5)/2)^2 * (12*1.5)

The answer then would have to be 1033.5

3.) A 20cm long tube has an inner diameter of 0.85cm and an outer
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

The resistance of a conductor (R) is given by:

R=\frac{\rho L}{A}\\\\where\ L \ is\ the\ conductor\ length\ and \ A\ is\ the\ cross\ sectional\ area and ρ is resistivity

The length = 20cm = 0.2 m

The tube has an outer diameter of 1.1 cm (0.011 m), hence the outer area is:

A₁ = π * diameter²/4 = π * 1.1²/4 = 0.000095 m²

The tube has an inner diameter of 0.85 cm (0.0085 m), hence the inner area is:

A₂ = π * diameter²/4 = π * 0.0085²/4 = 0.0000567 m²

The conductor area = outer area - inner area = 0.000095 m² - 0.0000567 m² = 0.0000383 m²

Hence, the resistance is:

R=\frac{\rho L}{A} =\frac{1.7*10^{-8}*0.2}{0.0000383}=0.00009\ ohm

erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

Statement 1 and 3 are correct.

Explanation:

1. The mass moves  downward, so the net acceleration of the block is straight downward.

2.The mass is sliding through the globe, so only the force of gravity is acting on the mass which pulls it in downward direction. The force of gravity has two components [mg sin∅] and [mg cos∅].
