Physics
1 answer:
loris [4]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 1400 J</h3>

Explanation:

The potential energy of a body can be found by using the formula

PE = mgh

where

m is the mass

h is the height

g is the acceleration due to gravity which is 10 m/s²

From the question we have

PE = 20 × 10 × 7

We have the final answer as

<h3>1400 J</h3>

Hope this helps you

Determine the amount of work done by the applied force when a 87 N force is applied to move a 15 kg object a horizontal
elena-s [515]

Answer:

391.5 J

Explanation:

The amount of work done can be calculated using the formula:

  • W = F║d
  • where the force is parallel to the displacement

Looking at the formula, we can see that the mass of the object does not affect the work done on it.

Substitute the force applied and the displacement of the object into the equation.

  • W = (87 N)(4.5 m)
  • W = 391.5 J  

The amount of work done on the object is 391.5 J in order to move it 4.5 meters with an applied force of 87 Newtons.

A student obtained a clean dry glass-stoppered flask. she weighed the flask and stopper on an analytical balance and found the t
svetoff [14.1K]
29.213 cm3


First, calculate the mass of the water used. You do this by subtracting the original mass of the flask from the combined mass of the water and flask, giving:60.735 g - 31.601 g = 29.134 g
So we now know we have 29.134 g of water. To calculate the volume of the flask, simply divide by the density of the water, giving:29.134 g / (0.9973 g/cm3) = 29.213 cm3

Why does the entropy of a gas increase when it expands into a vacuum? Why does the entropy of a gas increase when it expands int
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

The entropy of a gas increases when it expands into a vacuum because the number of possible states increases .

Explanation:

When a gas expand in a vacuum, the molecules of the gases vibrates very fast and starting moving with higher velocity in random directions which means the level of disorder in the gases increases.

Now the possible state of the gas molecule increases such as the particle can be located at different position due to increased randomness.

<u>Entropy is the measure of this randomness and thus with this increased randomness entropy also increases.</u>
