What is the potential energy possessed by a rock of mass 4kg projected to a height of 2m (g=10m/s2)

Physics
1 answer:
Mumz [18]3 years ago
5 0

Potential Energy = Mass * Gravitational Constant * Height

What We Don't Know: Potential Energy

What We Know:

Mass

Gravitational Constant (9.8 m/s)

Height

Ep = mgh

Ep = 4 * 9.8 * 2

Ep = 78.4 Joules

The Potential Energy of the Rock is 78.4 Joules, based on the given information! Hope this helps you!

The spreading of waves behind an aperture ismore for long wavelengths and less for short wavelengths.less for long wavelengths a
kompoz [17]
<h2>Answer: The spreading of waves behind an aperture ismore for long wavelengths and less for short wavelengths</h2>

Here we are talking about Diffraction and, in fact, waves diffract the most when their wavelength is about the same size of the gap or aperture.

Diffraction happens when a wave (mechanical or electromagnetic wave) meets an obstacle or a slit .When this occurs, <u>the wave bends around the corners of the obstacle or passes through the opening of the slit that acts as an obstacle, forming multiple patterns with the shape of the aperture of the slit. </u>

<u />

Note that the principal condition for the occurrence of this phenomena is that the obstacle must be comparable in size (similar size) to the size of the wavelength.

In other words, when the gap (or slit) size is larger than the wavelength, the wave passes through the gap and does not spread out much on the other side, but when the gap size is equal to the wavelength, maximum diffraction occurs and the waves spread out greatly.

This means the smaller the slit or obstacle (diffracting object), the wider the resulting diffraction pattern, and the greater the obstacle, the narrower de resulting patter.

What happens when polar molecules are between oppositely charged metal plates
KatRina [158]

Answer:

They will become aligned according to the charges on the metal plate.

Explanation:

When Polar molecules are placed between oppositely charged metal plates the molecules will tend to be attracted by their corresponding oppositely charged plates that is the positive and negative plates,

A polar molecule is one which has opposite charges on its ends. Non-polar molecules however do not have charges on their end
