A 4 kg block is pushed up an incline that makes a 30° angle with the horizontal, as shown in the figure. Once the block is pushe

d a distance of d = 5.0 m up the incline, the block remains at rest.
What is the approximate change in the gravitational potential energy of the block-Earth system when the block is held at rest compared to its original location at the bottom of the incline?
A) OJ
B) 100 J
C) 100/33 J
D) 200 J

Answer:

  B)  100 J

Explanation:

Assuming the distance given is measured along the incline, the vertical change in height is (5 m)(sin 30°) = 2.5 m. Then the change in potential energy is ...

  ∆PE = mg(∆h) = (4 kg)(10 m/s^2)(2.5 m) = 100 J

(1) <span>Electric current is defined as the rate of </span>charge<span> flow past a given point in an electric circuit. It is measured in Coulombs/second, also called Amperes. In </span>DC electric circuits<span>, it can be assumed that the </span>resistance<span> to current flow is a constant so that the current in the circuit is related to </span>voltage<span> and resistance by </span>Ohm's law, which is:
<span>
V = I*R
Where V = Voltage
I = Current
R = Resistance

(2) The answer is attached in image form down below(please find attachment)
(3) </span>The answer is attached in image form down below(please find attachment)

(4) <span>Renewable energy is the energy which is generated from the natural sources i.e. sun, tides, wind etc. Examples are: Solar Energy, Wind energy( windmill) etc. for electricity generation.
Advantages of Renewable Energy:
1) It is available in abundant quantity.
2) It is free to use.
3) It has </span><span>low carbon emissions, therefore it is considered as green and environment friendly.
Disadvantages of Renewable Energy:
1) It is not easy to setup plants and machinery for renewable energy.
2) Initial costs for setting up those plants and machinery is quite high.
3) The energy from the natural sources is not available 24/7. In Solar energy case, energy </span><span>can be used during the day time and not during night or rainy season etc.
</span>
Non-Renewable energy is energy which is taken from the sources that are available on the earth in limited quantity. Sources may be <span>fossil fuels, natural gas, oil and coal etc.
</span><span>Advantages of Non-Renewable Energy Sources:
1) They are easy to use.
2) They are cheap.

Disadvantages:
</span>1) They will expire some day (as they are limited).
2) The speed at which such resources are being used can have serious environmental changes.
3) They release toxic gases in the air when burnt which are the major cause for global warming.
<span>4) Since these sources are going to expire soon, prices of these sources are proliferating day by day.
</span><span>
Now you should judge all by yourself which is the better energy source.

Which type of electromagnetic radiation may damage central nervous system
Furkat [3]

Answer:

microwaves

Explanation:

microwaves do emit radiation, technically speaking, but it's not the DNA-damaging radiation we're used to hearing about. Microwaves, along with radio waves from (you guessed it) radio and cell phone towers, are types of non-ionizing radiation.

During a thunderstorm a tornado lift a car to a height of 300 m above the ground increasing and strength the tornado flings the
sasho [114]

Answer:

Explanation:

To calculate the time it took the car to hit the ground, we use the formula

speed = distance/time

80 m/s = 300 m/time

time = 300/80

time = 3.75 secs

It must have taken the car 3.75 seconds to hit the ground

To determine the horizontal distance of the car before hitting the ground, the same formula will also be used but with the time obtained above (since that was the time it took before hitting the ground)

speed = distance/time

80 = distance/3.75

distance = 3.75 x 80

distance = 300 meters
