<u>Given:</u>

Mass of object, m = 2 kg

Distance, h = 5 m

<u>To determine:</u>

The potential energy and work done

<u>Explanation:</u>

Step 1: The potential energy of the object is given as:

PE = mgh

m = mass of the object, g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s2; h = height

PE = 2 kg * 9.8 ms-2 * 5 m = 98 kgm²s⁻² = 98 J

Step 2: The work done by gravity can be expressed as:

W = Force * distance = F*h

F = mg = 2 * 9.8 = 19.6 N

W = 19.6 * 5 = 98 J

Ans: The potential energy and work done = 98 J

If wheel turning at a constant rate completes 100 revolutions in 10 s its angular speed is:
GenaCL600 [577]
The frequency of the wheel is given by:
f= \frac{N}{t}
where N is the number of revolutions and t is the time taken. By using N=100 and t=10 s, we find the frequency of the wheel:
f= \frac{100}{10 s}=10 s^{-1}

And now we can find the angular speed of the wheel, which is related to the frequency by:
\omega=2 \pi f=2 \pi (10 s^{-1})=62.8 s^{-1}

In this circuit the battery provides 3 V, the resistance R1 is 7 Ω, and R2 is 5 Ω. What is the current through resistor R2? Give
sveta [45]

Answer:

The current pass the R_2 is  I  = 0.25 A

Explanation:

The diagram for this question is shown on the first uploaded image  

From the question we are told that

    The voltage  is  V =  3V

     The first resistance is  R_1 = 7 \Omega

     The second resistance is  R_2 = 5 \Omega

Since the resistors are connected in series their equivalent resistance is  

       R_{eq} =  R_1 +R_2

Substituting values

         R_{eq} = 7 + 5

         R_{eq} = 12 \Omega

Since the resistance are connected in serie the current passing through the circuit  is the same current passing through R_2 which is mathematically evaluated as

        I  =  \frac{V}{R_{eq}}

Substituting values  

      I  =  \frac{3}{12}

      I  = 0.25 A
