What is the energy of a rock with a mass of 10.2 kg on a cliff that is 300 m height?

Physics

The potential energy of the rock is 30,000 J

Explanation:

The mechanical energy of an object is equal to the sum of its gravitational potential energy (PE) and its kinetic energy (KE):

E=PE+KE

where

PE is the gravitational potential energy, which is the energy possessed by the object due to its position in the gravitational field

KE is the kinetic energy, which is the energy possessed by the object due to its motion

In this problem, the rock is at rest, so its kinetic energy is zero:

KE = 0

Therefore, the energy of the rock is just equal to its potential energy, which is:

E=PE=mgh

where

m = 10.2 kg is the mass of the rock

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

h = 300 m is the height of the rock above the ground

Substituting and solving, we find

PE=(10.2)(9.8)(300)=30,000 J

Calculate the weight of an apple of mass 100grams on Earth
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

In physics the standard unit of weight is Newton, and the standard unit of mass is the kilogram. On Earth, a 1 kg object weighs 9.8 N, so to find the weight of an object in N simply multiply the mass by 9.8 N. Or, to find the mass in kg, divide the weight by 9.8 N.

4. A box of books weighing 325 N moves at a constant velocity across the floor when the box is pushed with a force of 425 N exer
Rudik [331]

Answer:

0.61°

Explanation:

Since the box move at constant velocity, it means there is no acceleration then we can say it has a balanced force system.

Pulling force= resistance force

From the formula for pulling force,

F(x)= Fcos(θ)

= 425×cos(35.2)

=347N

The force exerted downward at an angle of 35.2° below the horizontal= Fsin(θ)= 425sin(35.2)

=425×0.567=245N

Resistance force= (325N+ 245N) (α)= 570N(α)

We can now equates the pulling force to resistance force

570 (α)= 347N

(α)= 347/570

= 0.61

What is the current through a 11v bulb with a power of 99w
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

9.01amp

Explanation:

Power = V^2/R

Given that v = 11volts, P = 99watts

99 = 11^2/R

11×11 = 99R

121= 99R

R = 121/99

R= 1.22ohms

From ohms Law; V = IR

11volts = I × 1.22ohms

I = 11/1.23

I = 9.01 amp

What is the first semiconductor
madam [21]

English "natural philosopher" (the contemporary term for physicist) Michael Faraday is renowned for his discovery of the principles of electro-magnetic induction and electro-magnetic rotation, the interaction between electricity and magnetism that led to the development of the electric motor and generator. The unit of measurement of electrical capacitance - the farad (F) - is named in his honor. Faraday's experimental work in chemistry, which included the discovery of benzene, also led him to the first documented observation of a material that we now call a semiconductor. While investigating the effect of temperature on "sulphurette of silver" (silver sulfide) in 1833 he found that electrical conductivity increased with increasing temperature. This effect, typical of semiconductors, is the opposite of that measured in metals such as copper, where conductivity decreases as temperature is increased. In a chapter entitled "On Conducting Power Generally" in his book Experimental Researches in Electricity Faraday writes "I have lately met with an extraordinary case ... which is in direct contrast with the influence of heat upon metallic bodies ... On applying a lamp ... the conducting power rose rapidly with the heat ... On removing the lamp and allowing the heat to fall, the effects were reversed." We now understand that raising the temperature of most semiconductors increases the density of charge carriers inside them and hence their conductivity. This effect is used to make thermistors - special resistors that exhibit a decrease in electrical resistance (or an increase in conductivity) with an increase in temperature. <span> Next Milestone </span> Contemporary Documents <span> <span>Faraday, M.
