<span>the gravational potential energy of anything on the ground is zero. When calculating potential energy you take height in meters and multiply it by the mass of the object in kilograms and the acceleration of gravity to get a new unit called Joules. Any object at ground level has a potential energy of zero newtons becuase anything multiplied by zero is zero. An object with mass of 54 kg, 4 meters above the ground has a gravitatinal potential energy of 2116.8 Joules.</span>

Answer:

The gravitational potential energy of pole voulter is 2160\ J.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the pole vaulter, m = 54 kg

Height it rises, h = 4 m

To find,

The gravitational potential energy.

Solution,

We know , gravitational potential energy of an object of mass m and height h is given by m\times g\times h.Here g is acceleration due to gravity=10 m/s^2.

E=m\times g\times h\\=54\times 10 \times 4\ J=2160\ J.

Therefore, the gravitational potential energy of pole voulter is 2160\ J.

Hence, this is the required solution.

What information do you think the temperatures of stars give us?
Paul [167]

Explanation:

One way of classifying stars is by their temperature .

or

Science strives to be able to describe how stars and planets form and evolve. This requires theories to describe the processes which include:

Star and planet formation

Star and planet composition

Stellar and solar system evolution

The nuclear processes happening inside stars

The scientific method means that all theories are put to the test. By measuring or calculating the temperature, age and composition of other planets and stars the theories can be tested. If observed values of these parameters are not predicted by theories, then the theories are wrong and need to be revised or replaced.

Photograph E shows a rechargeable torch. When a student shakes the torch, the magnet moves through the coil and back again. This
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

a) according to Faraday's law , b) creating a faster movement, placing more turns on coil

Explanation:

a) The voltage is induced in the coil by the relative movement between it and the magnet, therefore according to Faraday's law

           E = - d (B A) / dt

In this case, the magnet is involved, so the value of the magnetic field varies with time, since the number of lines that pass through the loop changes with movement.

This voltage creates a current that charges the battery

b) There are several ways to increase the voltage

* creating a faster movement, can be done by the user

* placing more turns on the coil, must be done by the manufacturer

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

a

\theta_{max} =18.38^o

b

New  n_{cladding} =1.491

Explanation:

 From the question we are told that

          The refractive index of the core is  n_{core} = 1.497

         The refractive index of the cladding  is   n_{cladding} = 1.421

Generally according to Snell's law

      n_{core} * sin(90- \theta) = n_{cladding} * sin (90)

Where \theta_{max} is the largest angle a largest angle a ray will make with respect to the interface of the fiber and experience total internal reflection

      \theta_{max} = 90 - sin^{-1} [\frac{n_{cladding}}{n_{core}} ]

       \theta_{max} = 90 - sin^{-1} [\frac{1.421}{1.497}} ]

      \theta_{max} =18.38^o

Given from the question the the largest angle is  5°

Generally the refraction index of the cladding is mathematically represented as

           n_{cladding} = n_{core} * sin (90 - 5)

          n_{cladding} =1.491
