Answer: 1

an object positioned at some height in a gravitational field

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy of an object is the energy stored due to position of the object or position at certain height relative to zero position.

Gravitational potential energy can also be expressed as object position at some height above or below zero position in a gravitational field

I think 1 and 2 make sense. But 1 make more sense than 2

P14.003A spherical gas-storage tank with an inside diameter of 8.1 m is being constructed to store gas under an internal pressur

Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

The minimum wall thickness required for the spherical tank is 0.0189 m

Explanation:

Given data:

d = inside diameter = 8.1 m

P = internal pressure = 1.26 MPa

σ = 270 MPa

factor of safety = 2

Question: Determine the minimum wall thickness required for the spherical tank, tmin = ?

The allow factor of safety:

$\sigma _{a} =\frac{\sigma }{factor-of-safety} =\frac{270}{2} =135MPa$

The minimun wall thickness:

$t=\frac{Pd}{4\sigma _{a} } =\frac{1.26*8.1}{4*135} =0.0189m$

Gravity is _____ force between objects that are moving closer to one another.

pishuonlain [190]

Gravity is a pair of forces of attraction between every
two objects. Period !

It doesn't matter whether they're moving together, moving apart,
moving gracefully in synchrony, or at rest. The gravitational forces
of attraction between them are always there.

A copper sphere was moving at 40 m/s when it hit another object. This caused all of the KE to be converted into thermal energy f

USPshnik [31]

Answer:

Temperature increase = 2.1 [C]

Explanation:

We need to identify the initial data of the problem.

v = velocity of the copper sphere = 40 [m/s]

Cp = heat capacity = 387 [J/kg*C]

The most important data given is the fact that when the shock occurs kinetic energy is transformed into thermal energy, therefore it will have to be:

$E_{k}=Q\\ E_{k}= kinetic energy [J]\\Q=thermal energy [J]\\Re-employment values and equalizing equations\\\\\frac{1}{2} *m*v^{2}=m*C_{p}*dT \\The masses are canceled \\\\dT=\frac{v^{2}}{C_{p} *2} \\dT=2.1 [C]$

What is the importance of time ?

lesantik [10]

I think that the importance of time is to allow there to be order. People need to be somewhere at a certain time and not just whenever they want. It allows people to get things done more efficiently. <span />
