Answer:

684J

Explanation:

So basically the formula for gravitational potential energy is Mass X Gravity X height. That is G.p.e = mgh

We don't have the mass but since we have the height, we multiply directly with the height since the quantity of weight is already given.

so G.p.e = 360 X 1.9 = 684J

Note that; The answer is in joules because g.p.e is work done.

Hope that was helpful!!

A mass is attached to a spring with an unknown spring constant. The spring gains 10 J of elastic potential energy if stretched b
Firlakuza [10]

From the given information in the question, the correct option is Option 1: 14 cm.

A non-stretched elastic spring has a conserved potential energy which gives it the ability to perform work. The elastic potential energy can be expressed as:

PE = \frac{1}{2} k x^{2}

Where PE is the energy, k is the spring constant and x is extension.

i. Given that: PE = 10 J and x = 10 cm, then;

PE = \frac{1}{2} k x^{2}

10 = \frac{1}{2} k 10^{2}

20 = 100k

k = 0.2 J/cm

ii. To determine how far the spring is needed to be stretched, given that PE = 20 J.

PE = \frac{1}{2} k x^{2}

20 = \frac{1}{2} (0.2) x^{2}

40 = 0.2 x^{2}

x^{2} = 200

x = \sqrt{200}

  = 14.1421

x = 14.14 cm

So that;

x is approximately 14.00 cm.

Thus, the spring need to be stretched to 14.00 cm to give the spring 20 J of elastic potential energy.

A 25kg chair initially at rest on a horizontal floor requires 165 N force to set it in motion. Once the chair is in motion, a 12
bazaltina [42]

The coefficient of static friction between the chair and the floor is 0.67

Explanation:

Given:

Weight of the chair = 25kg

Force = 165 N (F_applied)

Force = 127 N (F_max)

To find: Coefficient of static friction  

The “coefficient of static friction” between a chair and the floor is defined as the ration of maximum force to the normal force acting on the chair  

μ_s=F_{max}/F_{n}  

The F_n is equal to the weight multiplied by its gravity

∴F_{n}=mg  

Thus the coefficient of static friction changes as

μ_s=F_{max}/mg

μ_{s} = =165N/((25kg)\times(9.80 m/s^2 ) )

= 0.67

Which of the following is not a reason fluorescent lamps are advantageous over incandescent lamps?
Wewaii [24]
The correct option is A.
Fluorescent lamps have many advantages over incandescent lamps and the options given in B, C and D are part of these advantages. The option given in A is a disadvantage and not an advantage. This is because, as a result of operating at an higher temperature, it will gives out and radiate more heat.
