Answer: 7840N

Explanation:

Given that

Potential energy = ?

Mass of sled = 20-kg

Distance = 40 meters

Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s^2

Recall that potential energy is the energy possessed by a body at rest

i.e potential energy = mass m x acceleration due to gravity g x distance h

P.E = mgh

P.E = 20kg x 9.8m/s^2 x 40m

P.E = 7840N

Thus, the potential energy of the sled is 7840N

The above answer is correct however gravitational potential energy is measured in joules. So the final answer would be 7840 J (joules) not newton’s.

It is found that a 5.70 m segment of a long string contains three complete waves and has a mass of 180 g. The string is vibratin
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

1.9 m.

Explanation:

Three complete waves in the length of 5.7 m

The distance traveled by one complete wave is called wavelength.

Thus, the distance traveled by one wave = 5.7 / 3 = 1.9 m

Thus, the wavelength is 1.9 m.

A horizontal disk rotates about a vertical axis through its center. Point P is midway between the center and the rim of the disk
hjlf

Answer:

The answer is explained below.

Explanation:

All the point on the disk has same angular acceleration. Here, the point P is at the midway between the center and the rim of the disk and the point Q is at rim of the disk.

So, the distance of the point Q from the axis is twicee the distance of the point P from the axis.

<em>Rp - R</em>

<em>Rq - 2R</em>

The linear acceleration is

α2 - Rα

So, the linear acceleration of Q is twice as great as the linear acceleration of P.

The speed of the particle when it is in the circular motion depends on the radius of the particle.

In this case, the speed of point Q is twice the speed of point P.

Ordinary glasses are worn in front of the eye and usually 2.00 cm in front of the eyeball. A certain person can see distant obje
Lelu [443]

Answer:

The focal length is 15.549 cm

The power of the lens is 0.0643 D

Solution:

As per the question:

The near point is 50.0 cm

Distance of the glasses from the eyeball, d = 2.00 cm

The near point of a normal human eye is 25 cm

Now,

The image distance, v' = 50.0 - 2.00 = 48.0 cm

The object distance, u' = 25.0 - 2.00 = 23.0 cm

Now, using the Lens maker formula to calculate the focal length:

\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{u'} + \frac{1}{v'}

\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{48.0} + \frac{1}{23.0} = 0.0643

f = 15.549 cm

Now, the power of the lens in diopters is given by:

P = \frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{15.549} = 0.0643 D

A car is driving down the road at 30 MPH. A bug hits the windshield with a force of 50N. With what force does the car hit the bu
Feliz [49]

Answer:

80 N

Explanation:

The windshield is a part of the car and the bug hits it so the bug hits the car. they both are in opposite directions so their total force will be 80N
