If a 1 kg book has 46 Joules of gravitational potential energy how high is the shelf it is on?

Physics
1 answer:
Mashcka [7]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

4.7m

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the book  = 1kg

Gravitational potential energy  = 46J

Unknown:

Height of the shelf  = ?

Solution:

The potential energy is due to the position of a body above the ground.

        Gravitational potential energy  = mgh

m is the mass,

g is the acceleration due gravity  = 9.8m/s²

h is the height which is unknown

                       46  = 1 x 9.8 x h

                       h  = 4.7m

Two gliders collide on a frictionless air track that is aligned along the x axis. Glider A has an initial velocity of +4.0 m/s a
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

As collision is elastic,thus we can use conservation of momentum equation

mA=0.2 kg

(vB)1=0 m/s.......................as it is on rest before collision

(vA)1=4 m/s

(vA)2=-1 m/s

(vB)2=2 m/s

using equation

(mA*vA+mB*vB)1= (mA*vA+mB*vB)2

Where 1 and 2 represents before and after collision

(0.2*4)+(mB*0)=(0.2*-1)+(mB*2)

0.8=-0.2+(2mB)

mass of object B=mB=0.3 Kg

Water falls without splashing at a rate of 0.200 L/s from a height of 3.60 m into a 0.730 kg bucket on a scale. If the bucket is
dimaraw [331]

Answer:

15.106 N

Explanation:

From the given information,

The weight of the bucket can be calculated as:

W_b = m_bg =  \\ \\  W_b = (0.730 \  kg) ( 9.80 \ m/s^2) \\ \\ W_b = 7.154 \ N

The mass of the water accumulated in the bucket after 3.20s is:

m_w= (0.20 \ L/s) ( 3.20)s

m _w=0.64 \ kg

To determine the weight of the water accumulated in the bucket, we have:

W_w = m_w g

W_w = ( 0.64  \ kg )(9.80\  m  \  /s^2)

W_w = 6.272 \ N

For the speed of the water before hitting the bucket; we have:

v = \sqrt{2gh}

v = \sqrt{2*9.80 \ m/s^2 * 3.60 \ m}

v = 8.4 m/s

Now, the force required to stop the water later when it already hit the bucket is:

F = v ( \dfrac {dm}{dt} )

F = (8.4 \ m/s)( 0.200 \ L/s)

F = 1.68 N

Finally, the reading scale is:

F_{scale = 7.154 N + 6.272 N + 1.68 N

= 15.106 N

This question is incomplete; here is the complete question:

Marco is conducting an experiment. He knows the wave that he is working with has a wavelength of 32.4 cm. If he measures the frequency as 3 hertz, which statement about the wave is accurate?

A. The wave has traveled 32.4 cm in 3 seconds.

B. The wave has traveled 32.4 cm in 9 seconds.

C. The wave has traveled 97.2 cm in 3 seconds.

D. The wave has traveled 97.2 cm in 1 second.

The answer to this question is D. The wave has traveled 97.2 cm in 1 second.

Explanation:

The frequency of a wave, which is in this case 3 hertz, represents the number of waves that go through a point during 1 second. According to this, if the frequency of the wave is 3 hertz this means in 1 second there were 3 waves. Moreover, if you multiply the wavelength (32.4cm) by the frequency (3) you will know the distance the wave traveled in 1 second: 32.4 x 3 =  97.2 cm. This makes option D the correct one as the distance in 1 second was 97.2 cm.
