What is the gravitational potential energy of a 150 kg object suspended 5m above the Earth's surface

Physics

The gravitational potential energy referred to the ground level is given by
U=mgh
where m is the mass of the object, g=9.81 m/s^2 is the gravitational acceleration and h is the height of the object with respect to the ground.

Therefore in our problem the potential energy is
U=(150 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)(5 m)=7357.5 J

Emily uses a rifle to shoot a bullet at a target. The bullet has a mass of 13 grams. The rifle has a mass of 3,500 grams. When s
sp2606 [1]
Force exerted by the bullet = mass * acceleration = 0.013 * 850 = 11.05 Newtons.

the rifle exerts same force in opposite direction so we have

11.05 = 3.5 * a
acceleration = 11.05 / 3.5 =  3.16 m /s^-2

An electrician finds that a 1 m length of a certain type of wire has a resistance of 0.24 Ω . What is the total resistance of th
zlopas [31]

The resistance of a given conductor depends on its electrical resistivity (\rho), its length(L) and its cross-sectional area (A), as follows:

R=\frac{\rho L}{A}

In this case, we have L'=138L, \rho'=\rho and A'=A. So, the total resistance of the wire with length of 138m is:

R'=\frac{\rho' L'}{A'}\\R'=\frac{\rho 138L}{A}\\R'=138\frac{\rho L}{A}\\R'=138R\\R'=138(0.24\Omega)\\R'=33.12\Omega

Tom says that insulation keeps out the cold. Explain why this statement is incorrect. What should Tom have said?
Zina [86]
There is no such thing as"cold", in the same way that there is no such thing
as "darkness" or "quietness".  "Darkness" is the absence of light, "quietness"
is the absence of sound, and "cold" is the absence of heat.

Tom should have said that insulation <em>keeps the heat in</em> .
