A boy carries a 50 N box up a flight of stairs 10-m high. How much potential energy has the box gained?

Physics
1 answer:
almond37 [142]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Potential energy, P = 500 J

Explanation:

We have,

Weight of the box, W = 50 N

Height of the stairs, h = 10 m

It is required to find the potential energy gained by the box. The potential energy is possessed by an object due to its height. The formula of potential energy is given by :

P=mgh

g is acceleration due to gravity

P=50\ N\times 10\ m\\\\P=500\ J

So, the potential energy of 500 J is gained by the box.

A V = 108-V source is connected in series with an R = 1.1-kΩ resistor and an L = 34-H inductor and the current is allowed to rea
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given an RL circuit

A voltage source of.

V = 108V

A resistor of resistance

R = 1.1-kΩ = 1100 Ω

And inductor of inductance

L = 34 H

After he inductance has been fully charged, the switch is open and it connected to the resistor in their own circuit, so as to discharge the inductor

A. Time the inductor current will reduce to 12% of it's initial current

Let the initial charge current be Io

Then, final current is

I = 12% of Io

I = 0.12Io

I / Io = 0.12

The current in an inductor RL circuit is given as

I = Io ( 1—exp(-t/τ)

Where τ is time constant and it is given as

τ = L/R = 34/1100 = 0.03091A

So,

I = Io ( 1—exp(-t/τ))

I / Io = ( 1—exp(-t/τ))

Where I/Io = 0.12

0.12 = 1—exp(-t/τ)

0.12 — 1 = —exp(-t/τ)

-0.88 = -exp(-t/0.03091)

0.88 = exp(-t/0.03091)

Take In of both sides

In(0.88) = In(exp(-t/0.03091)

-0.12783 = -t/0.030901

t = -0.12783 × 0.030901

t = 3.95 × 10^-3 seconds

t = 3.95 ms

B. Energy stored in inductor is given as

U = ½Li²

So, the current at this time t = 3.95ms

I = Io ( 1—exp(-t/τ))

Where Io = V/R

Io = 108/1100 = 0.0982 A

Now,

I = Io ( 1—exp(-t/τ))

I = 0.0982(1 — exp(-3.95 × 10^-3 / 0.030901))

I = 0.0982(1—exp(-0.12783)

I = 0.0982 × 0.12

I = 0.01178

I = 11.78mA

Therefore,

U = ½Li²

U = ½ × 34 × 0.01178²

U = 2.36 × 10^-3 J

U = 2.36 mJ

A proton has a charge of 1.6 × 10-19 C and a mass of 1.67 × 10-27 kg. A proton moves with velocity 1.8 × 105 m/s in the z-direct
lord [1]

Hey

So first we need to know what the direction of the force is, using your right hand rule point your right hand in the direction of the velocity. You're saying its the z direction, not telling me whether it's into the page or out? Since its a positive z im assuming its coming out. The magnetic field is pushing it upwards, so the force is going in the negative x direction.

The force of a magnetic field is

F = Qv X B

What's weird is that you don't need mass in this equation. Actually you don't even need the formula, its telling you that they're all going in perpendicar directions. the answer is 90 degrees.

Now if you want to know the F just multiply the charge, velocity and magnetic field .

F = GVB

F = 6.048 E -15

Answer : 90 degrees, sin(90) = 1

Why does refraction occur?
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

The answer is C.

Explanation:

Let's take a glass of water as an example. Now, shine a flashlight on it. See it bend the light into a rainbow? That is a example of refraction. When the light enters the water, the water actually slows down and changes its direction, causing the light to come out the other side in a different way. Since water is very dense, it can bend the water and make it different.
