Answer:

Workdone = 147Nm

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 5kg

Height = 3m

We know that acceleration due to gravity is 9.8m/s²

First of all, we would find the force applied;

Force = mass * acceleration

Force = 5*9.8

Force = 49N

Now, to find the workdone;

Workdone = force * distance

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Workdone = 49 * 3

Workdone = 147Nm

A paper-filled capacitor is charged to a potential difference of V0=2.5 V. The dielectric constant of paper is k=3.7 . The capac
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

k =  6.72

Explanation:

K of paper = 3.7

k of air = 1

Given that charge Q on the capacitor is constant because cell is disconnected from the circuit. So

V = Q / C = 2.5

Capacity becomes C / 3.7 in air .

capacity becomes C/3.7 when paper is replaced by air .

V₁ = Q / (C/3.7)

= 3.7 Q/C

3.7 x 2.5

= 9.25 V

In the second case ,

capacitance  due to new unknown dielectric k

= C/3.7 x k

= kC / 3.7 ( Capacitance in air is C/3.7 )

V ( new ) = Q / ( kC/3.7 )

= 3.7 Q/kC

.55 x 2.5 = 3.7 x( 2.5 / k )

k = 3.7 / .55

= 6.72

11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

F = 29.9 N

Explanation:

It is given that, The Sun exerts a gravitational force of 29.9 N on a rock that's located in a river bed here on Earth. We need to find the gravitational force the rock exert on the Sun. It is a case of Newton's third law of motion which states that the force acting from one object to another is equal to the force acing from second object to the first object and the two forces must be in opposite direction. Hence, the gravitational force the rock exert on the Sun is same i.e. 29.9 N.

If a star has a parallax of 0.050 arc second, what is its distance in pc? In ly? In AU? Seeds, Michael A.. Universe: Solar Syste
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

Distance in pc= 20parsecs

Distance in zLY= 65.2LY

Distance in AU= 4.1×10^6AU

Explanation:

Using the formular:

d = 1/p

Where d = distance

P= parallax angle in arc of second

d= 1/0.050

d= 20 parsed

Converting to Lighy years,LY :

1 PC = 3.26LY

d= 20pc × (3.26Ly/1pc)

d= 65.2Ly

To convert to AU, 206,265 AU = 1pc

d= 20pc × (2.06×10^5AU/1pc)

d= 4.1×10^6AU
