Answer:

0.2 kg

Explanation:

Height of roof from the ground=h=30 m

Gravitational potential energy=P.E=58.8 J

We have to find the mass of the ball.

We know that

Gravitational potential energy of ball= mgh

Where g= $9.8 m/s^2$

Substitute the values

$58.8=m\times 9.8\times 30$

$58.8=294 m$

$m=\frac{58.8}{294}$

Using division property of equality

$m=0.2 kg$

Hence, the mass of ball=0.2 kg

We are given the gravitational potential energy and the height of the ball and is asked in the problem to determine the mass of the ball. the formula to be followed is PE = mgh where g is the gravitational acceleration equal to 9.81 m/s^2. substituting, 58.8 J = m*9.8 m/s^2 * 30 m; m = 0.2 kg.

When an apple falls towards the earth,the earth moves up to meet the apple. Is this true?If yes, why is the earth's motion not n

Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

because the mass of the apple is very less compared to the mass of earth. Due to less mass the apple cannot produce noticable acceleration in the earth but the earth which has more mass produces noticable acceleration in the apple. thus we can see apple falling on towards the earth but we cannot see earth moving towards the apple.

What is required for equilibrium to exist

creativ13 [48]

They need to touch each other. Equilibrum, is when two things touch that arent the same heat, once they touch, they are equal in temperature, so they need to touch. hope i helped :D

A group of students performed a compression experiment where they placed weights on top of a cylinder of material and measured t

kolbaska11 [484]

The material that the cylinder is made from is Butyl Rubber.

<h3>What is Young's modulus?</h3>

Young's modulus, or the modulus of elasticity in tension or compression, is a mechanical property that measures the tensile or compressive strength of a solid material when a force is applied to it.

<h3>Area of the cylinder</h3>

A = πr²

$A = \pi \times (0.02)^2 = 0.00126 \ m^2$

<h3>Young's modulus of the cylinder</h3>

$E = \frac{stress}{strain} \\\\E = \frac{F/A}{e/l} \\\\E = \frac{Fl}{Ae} \\\\$

Where;

e is extension

When 5 kg mass is applied, the extension = 10 cm - 9.61 cm = 0.39 cm = 0.0039 m.

$E = \frac{(5\times 9.8) \times 0.1}{0.00126 \times 0.0039} \\\\E = 9.97 \times 10^5 \ N/m^2\\\\E = 0.000997 \times 10^9 \ N/m^2\\\\E = 0.000997 \ GPa\\\\E \approx 0.001 \ GPa$

When the mass is 50 kg,

extension = 10 cm - 7.73 cm = 2.27 cm = 0.0227 m

$E = \frac{(50\times 9.8) \times 0.1}{0.00126 \times 0.0227} \\\\E = 1.7 \times 10^6 \ N/m^2\\\\E = 0.0017 \times 10^9 \ N/m^2\\\\E = 0.0017 \ GPa\\\\E \approx 0.002 \ GPa$

The Young's modulus is between 0.001 GPa to 0.002 GPa

Thus, the material that the cylinder is made from is Butyl Rubber.
