Answer:

The 10 kg mass would have to be at a height 3 times that of the 30 kg mass to have the same gravitational potential energy as the 30 kg mass.

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy, U = mgh where m = mass of object, g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s² and h = height of object above the ground.

Now, let U' = gravitational potential energy of 10 kg mass = m'gh' where m' = 10 kg and h' = height of 10 kg mass above the ground.

So, U' = 10gh'

Also, let U" = gravitational potential energy of 30 kg mass = m"gh" where m" = 30 kg and h" = height of 30 kg mass above the ground.

So, U" = 30gh"

Since both object are supposed to have the same potential energy at a given height of the 10 kg mass,

U' = U"

10gh' = 30gh"

h' = 30gh"/10g

h' = 3h"

<u>So, the 10 kg mass would have to be at a height 3 times that of the 30 kg mass to have the same gravitational potential energy as the 30 kg mass.</u>

PART A:
olga55 [171]

Answer:

4 m/s^{2}

Explanation:

From Equilibrium of forces, The Tension in string is cancelled by the Weight (product of mass and acceleration due to gravity) of the body acting downwards.

The Net force = Mass * Acceleration.

Since Net Force = 20 Newton, Mass = 5kg, therefore;

20 = 5kg * acceleration. Dividing the RHS and LHS of the equation by 5, we have;

Acceleration = \frac{20}{5} which gives 4.

Note: RHS means Right Hand Side.

         LHS means Left Hand Side.

A fuel pump sends gasoline from a car's fuel tank to the engine at a rate of 5.64 10-2 kg/s. the density of the gasoline is 735
Irina18 [472]
Given:
Gasoline pumping rate, R = 5.64 x 10⁻² kg/s
Density of gasoline, D = 735 kg/m³
Radius of fuel line, r = 3.43 x 10⁻³ m

Calculate the cross sectional area of the fuel line.
A = πr² = π(3.43 x 10⁻³ m)² = 3.6961 x 10⁻⁵ m²

Let v =  speed of pumping the gasoline, m/s
Then the mass flow rate is 
M = AvD = (3.6961 x 10⁻⁵ m²)*(v m/s)*(735 kg/m³) = 0.027166v kg/s

The gasoline pumping rate is given as 5.64 x 10⁻² kg/s, therefore
0.027166v = 0.0564
v = 2.076 m/s

Answer:  2.076 m/s
The gasoline moves through the fuel line at 2.076 m/s.

How would the magnetic field lines appear for a bar magnet cut at the midpoint, with the two pieces placed end to end with a spa
Zarrin [17]

Answer:

cutting the magnet in two parts each part has a North and South pole,

Explanation:

In magnetism the magnetic mono-poles are not found, this means that we do not have magnetic charges alone, therefore when cutting the magnet in two parts each part has a North and South pole, the magnetic lines go from the North pole to the South pole, see attached.

The density of the lines is approximately the intensity of the magnetic field.
