Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf 5.22 \ m}}

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy is the energy an object possesses due to its position. It is calculated using the following formula:

E_P=mgh

Where <em>m</em> is the mass, <em>g</em> is the acceleration due to gravity, and <em>h</em> is the height.

The object has a mass of 8.72 kilograms. Assuming this occurs on Earth, the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 meters per second squared. The object gains 446 Joules of potential energy.

Let's convert the units of Joules. This makes the process of canceling units simpler later on. 1 Joule is equal to 1 kilogram meter squared per second squared. The object gains 446 J, which is equal to 446 kg *m²/s².

  • EP= 446 kg*m²/s²
  • m= 8.72 kg
  • g= 9.8 m/s²

Substitute the values into the formula.

446 \ kg*m^2/s^2 = 8.72 \ kg * 9.8 \ m/s^2 *h

Multiply on the right side of the equation.

446 \ kg*m^2/s^2 = 85.456 kg*m/s^2 *h

We are solving for the height, so we must isolate the variable h. It is being multiplied by 85.456 kg*m/s². The inverse operation of multiplication is division, so we divide both sides by this value.

\frac{ 446 \ kg*m^2/s^2}{85.456 kg*m/s^2} = \frac{85.456 kg*m/s^2 *h}{85.456 kg*m/s^2}

\frac{ 446 \ kg*m^2/s^2}{85.456 kg*m/s^2} =h

The units of kg*m/s² cancel, leaving meters as our unit.

\frac{ 446 }{85.456 }  \ m =h

5.2190601011 \ m =h

The original measurements of mass and potential energy have 3 significant figures, so our answer must have the same.

For the number we calculated, that is the hundredths place. The 9 in the thousandths place to the right tells us to round the 1 up to a 2.

5.22 \ m \approx h

The object was lifted to a height of approximately <u>5.22 meters.</u>

How much heat is needed to change 1.25 kg of steak at 100°C to water at 100°C?
cricket20 [7]

The heat required to change 1.25 kg of steak is 2825 kJ /kg.

<u>Explanation</u>:

Given, mass m = 1.25 kg,     Temperature t = 100 degree celsius

To calculate the heat required,

                                 Q = m \times L

where m represents the mass in kg,

          L represents the heat of vaporization.

When a material in the liquid state is given energy, it changes its phase from liquid to vapor and the energy absorbed in this process is called heat of the vaporization. The heat of vaporization of the water is about 2260 kJ/kg.

                                  Q = 1.25 \times 2260

                                  Q = 2825 kJ /kg.

Define resistance and describe what would happen to a light bulb if the voltage increased but the resistance stayed the same. (h
PtichkaEL [24]

The light bulb would glow brighter.

<h3>What is Resistance?</h3>

a force that works against a body's direction of motion and seeks to stop or slow down motion, such as friction. a measure of how much a material prevents an electric current from flowing as a result of a voltage.

What is the law of resistance?

Resistance and Ohm's Law. According to Ohm's law, the resistance of the circuit and the current or energy travelling through the resistance are both exactly proportional to the voltage or potential difference between two places.

The current would grow since it is exactly proportionate to the voltage, increasing the light bulb's brilliance, or simply making it brighter.

Give reasons for the following:
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

a. lower surface area, less resistence

b. more surface area, the load is split so no single tire overstrained

c. more surface area, more resistance against the sand. human steps sink down in the sand.

d. rapid change in air pressure on eardrums lead to somewhat-painful tension

e. air would always find its way in so no pressure difference can be achieved

(would indeed appreciate the brainliest if you appreciate the work)

Hooke’s law states that the distance that a spring is stretched by hanging object varies directly as the mass of the object. If
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

d_{2} = 33.33 cm

Explanation:

Given:

When mass, m_{1} =21 kg

          distance travelled is  d_{1}  = 140 cm

When mass, m_{2} =5 kg

         distance travelled is  d_{2}  = ?

Hooke's law state that within elastic limit, when an external force is applied to a body, the body gets deformed and when the force is released the gets back to its original form.

Therefore according to the question,

\frac{d_{1}}{m_{1}}=\frac{d_{2}}{m_{2}}

\frac{140}{21}=\frac{d_{2}}{5}

d_{2} = 33.33 cm

Distance travelled is 33.33 cm when mass is 5 kg.
