If the potential energy of the three-object system is to be a maximum (closest to zero), should object 3 be placed closer to object 1, closer to object 2, or halfway between them?

If the potential energy of the three-object system is to be a maximum (closest to zero), should object 3 be placed closer to object 1, closer to object 2, or halfway between them?

 

Object 3 should be placed closer to object 1.

 

Object 3 should be placed on a halfway between object 2 and object 1.

 

Object 3 should be placed closer to object 2.

 

Solution

I think that Object 3 should be placed closer to object 2.

A mine car (mass=390 kg) rolls at a speed of 0.50 m/s on a horizontal track, as the drawing shows. A 250-kg chunk of coal has a
Nady [450]

Answer:

v=0.60 m/s

Explanation:

Given that

m ₁= 390 kg ,u ₁= 0.5 m/s

m₂ = 250 kg ,u₂ = 0.76 m/s

As we know that if there is no any external force on the system the total linear momentum of the system will be conserve.

Pi = Pf

m ₁u ₁+m₂u₂ = (m₂ + m ₁ ) v

Now putting the values in the above equation

390 x 0.5 + 250 x 0.76 = (390 + 250 ) v

v=\dfrac{390\times 0.5+250\times 0.76}{390+250}\ m/s

v=0.60 m/s

Therefore the velocity of the system will be 0.6 m/s.

17. Which of the following is the closest weight in newtons of a 7.0-kilogram
marusya05 [52]

Weight = (mass) x (gravity)

Weight = (7.0 kg) x (gravity)

On Earth, where (gravity) is roughly 10 N/kg . . .

Weight = (7.0 kg) x (roughly 10 N/kg)

Weight = roughly 70 Newtons

That's <em>B </em>on Earth.

It would be some other number on other bodies.

What is the gravitational potential energy of a 65.7 kg person standing on the roof of a 135 meter building?
horrorfan [7]
For the purpose we will use the following equation for potential energy:
U = m * g * h
In the above equation, m represents the mass of the object, h represents the height of the object and g represents the gravitational field strength (9.8 N/kg on Earth).
When we plug values into the equation, we get following:
U= 65.7kg * 9.8 N/kg *135m = 86921.1 J = 86.92 kJ

describe how the volume of a floating object such as a cork can be found.fully describe please step by step.​
Rama09 [41]

Answer:

Explanation:

Use Archimedes' principle, that states something of this nature: "The buoyant force acting on an object immersed in a fluid is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced"

Say, you take a cube of wood(for example) and place it in a bucket of water. Your cube is bound to sink, until, the upthrust force equals its weight.

Where does this upthrust come from?

As the cube sinks, it displaced some volume of water(if the bucket were full you would see water pouring out)

Archimedes simply stated that: Upthrust,

U=mg

  • Example: One way to measure the volume of any irregular object (in your case, a stone) is to submerge it completely under water and measure the change in the height of the water level. This change in the water level (let's say it goes from 50 mL to 65 mL) indicates that the stone has a volume of 15 mL.
  • Example:Subtract the first volume from the second volume to calculate the volume of the stone. For example, if you recorded 40 fluid ounces the first time, and 50 fluid ounces the second time, the stone volume is 10 fluid ounces.
