Answer:

At the maximum height

Explanation:

The gravitational potential energy of an object is the energy possessed by the object due to its position in the gravitational field.

Mathematically, it is given by:

$PE=mgh$

where

m is the mass of the object

g is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height of the object relative to the ground

From the formula, we see that the potential energy is directly proportional to the height of the object above the ground: therefore, the larger the value of h, the larger the potential energy of the object.

Therefore, the object has the maximum potential energy when it is at the highest position above the ground.

Answer:

Circuit one will have more current than circuit two

Explanation:

I am assuming that you have to see which circuit has the greater current in this case. Well, this is the perfect example of Ohm's Law, which states the following -

V = IR,

where V = voltage / potential difference, I = current, and R = resistance

If one circuit has twice the voltage and half the resistance of the second circuit, as voltage is directly proportional to the resistance -

2V = I( 1 / 2R ),

4V = IR,

I = 4V / R

Whereas in the second circuit -

V = IR,

I = V / R

As you can note, voltage is directly proportional to the current ( I ) as well as the resistance. The only difference between the two formulas I = 4V / R, and I = V / R is the difference in the voltage. With the voltage being 4 times greater in the first circuit, and current is 4 times greater in the first circuit as well.

<u><em>Hence, circuit one will have more current than circuit two</em></u>

Determined to test the law of gravity for himself, a student walks off a skyscraper 180 m high, stopwatch in hand, and starts hi

Sati [7]

Answer:

a) v₀ = - 164.62 m / s , c) y = 122.5 m

Explanation:

We can solve this exercise using the free fall kinematic relations.

We put our reference system on the floor, so the height of the skyscraper is y₀ = 180m and the floor level is y = 0 m

For the boy

y = y₀ + v₀ t - ½ g t²

with free fall its initial speed is zero

y = ½ g t2

For superman

y = y₀ + v₀ (t-5) - ½ g (t-5)²

how superman grabs the lot just before hitting the ground

we look for the time it takes the boy down

t = √ (2 y₀ / g)

t = √ (2 180 / 9,8)

t = 6.06 s

in the equation for superman, we clear the volume and calculate

v₀ (t-5) = -y₀ + ½ g (t-5)²

v₀ (6.06 -5) = -180 + ½ 9.8 (6.06 -5)²

v₀ 1.06 = -174.49

v₀ = - 174.49 / 1.06

v₀ = - 164.62 m / s

the negative sign indicates that the initial speed is down

b) to graph the position of the two we use the table

t (s) Y_boy (m) Y_superman (m)

0 180 180

1 175.1 180

5 57.5 180

6 3.6 10.18

see attachment for the two curves

c) calculate the height that falls a lot in the 5 seconds (t = 5)

y = -1/2 g t²

y = ½ 9.8 5²

y = 122.5 m

for this height superman has not yet left the skyscraper, so the boy hits the ground

(a) Calculate the buoyant force on a 2.00-L helium balloon.

iragen [17]

Answer:

0.0239364 N

0.0057879 N

Explanation:

$\rho$ = Density of the gas

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

V = Volume

Mass of rubber = 1.5 g

Buoyant force is given by

$F_b=\rho gV\\\Rightarrow F_b=1.22\times 9.81\times 2\times 10^{-3}\\\Rightarrow F_b=0.0239364\ N$

The buoyant force is 0.0239364 N

Net vertical force is given by

$F_n=F_b-W_{He}-W_{r}\\\Rightarrow F_n=0.0239364-0.175\times 2\times 10^{-3}\times 9.81-1.5\times 10^{-3}\times 9.81\\\Rightarrow F_n=0.0057879\ N$

The net vertical force is 0.0057879 N
