The formula for gravitational potential energy is ...

Grav PE = (mass) · (gravity) · (height)

We can see from this simple formula that mass and height have EQUAL influence on the Gravitational PE. If EITHER of them is multiplied by some factor, the Gravitational PE gets multiplied by the same factor.

So the answer to the question is: No .

A 2kg hockey puck is sliding across the ice skating rink at 2 m/s. A player hits the puck so it's velocity increases to 10 m/s.

konstantin123 [22]

The work done on the puck is 96 J

Explanation:

According to the work-energy theorem, the work done on the hockey puck is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the puck.

Mathematically:

$W=K_f -K_i= \frac{1}{2}mv^2-\frac{1}{2}mu^2$

where

$K_f = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$ is the final kinetic energy of the puck, with

m = 2 kg being the mass of the puck

v = 10 m/s is the final speed

$K_i = \frac{1}{2}mu^2$ is the initial kinetic energy of the puck, with

u = 2 m/s being the initial speed of the puck

Substituting numbers into the equation, we find the work done by the player on the puck:

$W=\frac{1}{2}(2)(10)^2 - \frac{1}{2}(2)(2)^2=96 J$

Why are some fasteners double or triple threaded?

OLga [1]

Fasteners are double or triple threaded with the idea of durability. People look for durability in a fastener and if they receive one with triple threaded or double threaded they will feel more safe and at ease knowing it has extra strength added.

What is the period of a wave traveling 5 m/s if its wavelength is 20 m/s

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Speed of wave is given as

$v = 5 m/s$

Wavelength of the wave is given as

$\lambda = 20 m$

now from the formula of wave time period we can say

$speed = \frac{wavelength}{time period}$

$5 = \frac{20}{T}$

$T = \frac{20}{5}$

$T = 4 s$

so it will have time period of T = 4 s

Can someone help on this I'm really stuck

castortr0y [4]

Here, "Wavelength is same for both waves" it is the distance between two crests or two consecutive troughs, so, it is constant for both of them, you can easily figure it out.

In short, Your Answer would be "Wavelength"

Hope this helps!
