Answer: The 6 kg rock sitting on a 3.2 m cliff.

Explanation:

The potential energy of an object of mass M that is at a height H above the ground us:

U = M*H*g

where g is the gravitational acceleration:

g = 9.8m/s^2

Then:

"An 8 kg rock sitting on a 2.2 m cliff"

M = 8kg

H = 2.2m

U = 8kg*2.2m*9.8 m/s^2 = 172.48 J

"a 6 kg rock sitting on a 3.2 m cliff"

M = 6kg

H = 3.2m

U = 6kg*3.2m*9.8m/s^2 = 188.16 J

You can see that the 6kg rock on a 3.2m cliff has a larger potential energy.

1. Nyatakan prinsip Bernoulli.​
nignag [31]

Answer:

prinsip bernoulli

Explanation:

Prinsip Bernoulli adalah sebuah istilah di dalam mekanika fluida yang menyatakan bahwa pada suatu aliran fluida, peningkatan pada kecepatan fluida akan menimbulkan penurunan tekanan pada aliran tersebut. Prinsip ini sebenarnya merupakan penyederhanaan dari Persamaan Bernoulli yang menyatakan bahwa jumlah energi pada suatu titik di dalam suatu aliran tertutup sama besarnya dengan jumlah energi di titik lain pada jalur aliran yang sama. Prinsip ini diambil dari nama ilmuwan Belanda/Swiss yang bernama Daniel Bernoulli.

A uniform meter stick is pivoted at the 50.00 cm mark on the meter stick. A 400.0 gram object is hung at the 20.0 cm mark on the
babunello [35]

Answer:C

Explanation:

Given

mass m_1=400\ gm is at x=20\ cm mark

mass m_2=320\ gm is at x=75\ cm mark

Scale is Pivoted at x=50\ cm mark

For scale to be in equilibrium net torque must be equal to zero

Taking ACW as positive thus

T_{net}=0.4\times g\times (0.5-0.2)-0.32\times g\times(0.75-0.50)

T_{net}=0.12g-0.08g=0.04g

Therefore a net torque of 0.04 g is required in CW sense which a mass 400\ gm can provide at a distance of x_o from pivot

0.04g=0.4\times g\times x_o

x_o=0.1\ m

therefore in meter stick it is at a distance of x=60\ cm

A heavy piece of hanging sculpture is suspended by a 90 cm-long, 5.0 g steel wire. When the wind blows hard, the wire hums at it
kupik [55]

Answer: The mass of the sculpture is 11.8kg

Explanation:

Using the equation of fundamental frequency of a taut string.

f = (1/2L)*√(T/μ) .... (Eqn1)

Where

f= frequency in Hertz =80Hz

T = Tension in the string = Mg

M represent the mass of the substance (sculpture) =?

g= 9.8m/s^2

L= Length of the string=90cm=0.9m

μ= mass density = mass of string /Length of string

mass of string =5g=0.005kg

L=0.9m

μ=0.005/0.9 = 0.0056kg/m

Using (Eqn1)

80= 1/(2*0.9) √(T/0.0056)

144= √(T/0.0056)

Square both sides

20736= T/0.0056

T= 116.12N

Recall that T =Mg

116.12= M * 9.8

M=116.12/9.8

M= 11.8kg

Therefore the mass of the sculpture is 11.8kg

What is the strength of the electric field in a region where the electric potential is constant?
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

Where the electric potential is constant, the strength of the electric field is zero.

Explanation:

As a test charge moves in a given direction, the rate of change of the electric potential of the charge gives the potential gradient whose negative value is the same as the value of the electric field. In other words, the negative of the slope or gradient of electric potential (V) in a direction, say x, gives the electric field (Eₓ) in that direction. i.e

Eₓ = - dV / dx        ----------(i)

From equation (i) above, if electric potential (V) is constant, then the differential (which is the electric field) gives zero.

<em>Therefore, a constant electric potential means that electric field is zero.</em>
