Given: The mass of stone (m) = 0.5 kg
Raised from heights (h₁) = 1.0 m to (h₂) = 2.0 m
Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
To find: The change in potential energy of the stone
Formula: The potential energy (P) = mgh
where, all alphabets are in their usual meanings.
Now, we shall calculate the change in potential energy of the stone
Δ P = P₂ - P₁ = mg (h₂ - h₁)
or, = 0.5 kg ×9.8 m/s² ×(2.0 m - 1.0 m)
or, = 4.9 J
Hence, the required change in the potential energy of the stone will be 4.9 J
The answer is the FIRST OPTION
Work occurs when a force is applied to an object and the object moves in the direction of the force applied <span />
It will be cloudy and there will be rain.
Hope this helps
Q = mcθ
Where m = mass of water in kg.
c = specific heat capacity in kJ/kg⁰C, c for water = 4200 kJ/kg⁰C
θ = temperature rise in ⁰C
Q = 100*4200* 20 Note here the temperature rise is 20 ⁰C
Q = 8 400 000 J
In calories, 4.2 J = 1 Calorie
= 8 400 000 / 4.2 = 200 000
Q = 200 000 Calories
