Answer: Fourth option. It increased by a factor of 3.

Solution:

m1=1.0 kg

Cylinder's gravitational potential energy: Ep=m*g*h

Ep1=(1.0 kg)*g*h

Ep1=g*h

m2=3.0 kg

Ep2=(3.0 kg)*g*h

Ep2=3*g*h

Replacing g*h by Ep1 in the equation above:

Ep2=3*Ep1

Then, the cylinder's gravitational potential energy increased by a factor of 3.

The law of universal gravitation states that a gravitational force exists between all objects in the universe. This force is dir
Ber [7]

Answer: D. it has been demonstrated to be without exception under certain stated conditions.

Explanation:

A <u>Law</u> is an affirmation (something established) based on repeated long-term observation of a phenomenon that has been studied and verified.  

That is: A law is present in all known theories and therefore is considered universal. In addition, a law can not be refuted, nor changed, because its precepts have been proven through various studies.  

<u>Unlike theory</u>, which is the set of rules and principles that describe and explain a particular phenomenon and <u>is subject to changes as new evidence emerges that gives meaning to it.  </u>

Then, based on what is explained above, the law of universal gravitation is a statement that exists because it was rigorously tested and verified, therefore it can not be refuted.

An ore car of mass 39000 kg starts from rest and rolls downhill on tracks from a mine. At the end of the tracks, 25 m lower vert
Musya8 [376]

Answer:

x = 5.79 m

Explanation:

given,

mass of the car = 39000 Kg

spring constant = 5.7 x 10⁵ N/m

acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

height of the track = 25 m

length of spring compressed = ?

using conservation of energy

potential energy is converted into spring energy

m g h = \dfrac{1}{2}kx^2

x =\sqrt{\dfrac{2 m g h}{k}}

x =\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 39000 \times 9.8 \times 25}{5.7 \times 10^{5}}}

x =\sqrt{33.5263}

x = 5.79 m

the spring is compressed to x = 5.79 m to stop the car.

Round your answers to one decimal place.this parallel circuit has two resistors at 15 and 40 ohms. what is the total resistance?
lubasha [3.4K]
1) The equivalent resistance of two resistors in parallel is given by:
\frac{1}{R_{eq}}= \frac{1}{R_1}+ \frac{1}{R_2}
so in our problem we have
\frac{1}{R_{eq}} =  \frac{1}{15 \Omega}+ \frac{1}{40 \Omega}=0.092 \Omega^{-1}
and the equivalent resistance is
R_{eq} =  \frac{1}{0.092 \Omega^{-1}}=10.9 \Omega

2) If we have a battery of 12 V connected to the circuit, the current in the circuit will be given by Ohm's law, therefore:
I= \frac{V}{R_{eq}}= \frac{12 V}{10.9 \Omega}=1.1 A

A bus contains a 1440 kg flywheel (a disk that has a 0.63 m radius) and has a total mass of 10200 kg. Calculate the angular velo
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:\omega =93.51 rad/s

Explanation:

Given

mass of Flywheel m_1=1440 kg

mass of bus m_b=10200 kg

radius of Flywheel r=0.63 m

final speed of bus v=21 m/s

Conserving Energy i.e.

0.9(Rotational Energy of Flywheel)= change in Kinetic Energy of bus

Let \omegabe the angular velocity of Flywheel

0.9\cdot \frac{I\omega ^2}{2}=\frac{m_bv^2}{2}

I=moment\ of\ Inertia =mr^2=1440\cdot 0.63^2=571.536 kg-m^2

0.9\cdot \frac{571.536\cdot \omega ^2}{2}=\frac{10200\cdot 21^2}{2}

\omega ^2=21^2\times \frac{10200}{0.9\times 571.536}

\omega =21\times 4.45=93.51 rad/s
