Answer:

We know that potential energy of a body;

= mass(m)× gravitational acceleration(g) × height(h)

Lets find out the mass of the body

P.E. = mgh

=> 6500J = mass × 9.8m/s^2 × 12m

=>6500J = mass × ( 9.8 × 12 ) × ( m/s^2 × m)

=> 6500 Nm = m × 117.6 × m^2 / s^2

=> 6500/117.6 Ns^2/m = mass [°.° Ns^2/m = kg]

=> 55.272 Kg = mass

Therefore the mass of the body = 55.272 kg ~ <em>6</em><em>0</em><em> </em><em>k</em><em>g</em><em> </em>(Ans)

Hope it helps you

Bezzdna [24]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

r=0.053 nm=0.053\times 10^{-9} m

1 nm=10^{-9} m

Charge on proton,q=1.6\times 10^{-19} C

a.We have to find the electric  potential of the proton at the position of the electron.

We know that the electric potential

V=\frac{kq}{r}

Where k=9\times 10^9

V=\frac{9\times 10^9\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}{0.053\times 10^{-9}}

V=27.17 V

B.Potential energy of electron,U=\frac{kq_e q_p}{r}

Where

q_e=-1.6\times 10^{-19} c=Charge on electron

q_p=q=1.6\times 10^{-19} C=Charge on proton

Using the formula

U=\frac{9\times 10^9\times (-1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}{0.053\times 10^{-9}}

U=-4.35\times 10^{-18} J

A 600-g block is dropped onto a relaxed vertical spring that has a spring constant k =190.0 N/m. The block becomes attached to t
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

Work done will be 2.205 j

Explanation:

We have given that the spring is compressed b 37.5 cm

So d = 0.375 m

Mass of the block m = 600 gram = 0.6 kg

Acceleration due to gravity g=9.8m/sec^2

Gravitational force on the block F=mg=0.6\times 9.8=5.88N

Now we know that work done is give by W=Fd=5.88\times 0.375=2.205J

3. How do astronomers explain the lack of a meteorite in Tunguska? What evidence exists to support this
Vaselesa [24]
No traces of a meteorite were found, it many scientists concluded that the culprit was a comet. Comets, which are essentially muddy ice balls, could cause such a devastation and leave no trace.

But now, 105 years later, scientists have revealed that the Tunguska devastation was indeed caused by a meteorite. A group of Ukrainian, German, and American scientists have identified its microscopic remains. Why it took them so many years makes for a fascinating tale about the limits of science and how we are pushing them.
