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

lora16 [44]

Answer:

Energy stored in the capacitor will be 1.835\times 10^{-6}J

Explanation:

We have given edge length of capacitor = 1.2\times 10^2cm=1.2m

So area A = 1.2×1.2 = 1.44 m^2

Separation is given as d  1 mm = 10^{-3}m

We know that capacitance is given by C=\frac{\epsilon _0A}{d}=\frac{8.85\times 10^{-12}\times 1.44}{10^{-3}}=12.744\times 10^{-9}F

Voltage is given as V = 12 volt

We know that energy stored is given by E=\frac{1}{2}CV^2=\frac{1}{2}\times 12.744\times 10^{-9}\times 12^2=1.835\times 10^{-6}J

nydimaria [60]

Electrical current will flow through a solid by the means of electrons.  The electrons in the solid must be able to move from lower to higher electrical potential. The electric current in certain solid electrolytes like ice is entirely composed of flowing ions.

A wooden artifact from a Chinese temple has a 14C activity of 41.0 counts per minute as compared with an activity of 58.2 counts
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

The relation between activity and number of radioactive atom in the sample is as follows

dN / dt = λ N where λ is disintegration constant and N is number of radioactive atoms

For the beginning period

dN₀ / dt = λ N₀

58.2 = λ N₀

similarly

41 = λ N

dividing

58.2 / 41 = N₀ / N

N = N₀ x .70446

formula of radioactive decay

N=N_0e^{-\lambda t }

.70446 =e^{-\lambda t }

- λ t = ln .70446 =   - .35

t = .35 / λ

λ = .693 / half life

= .693 / 5715

= .00012126

t = .35 / .00012126

= 2886.36

= 2900 years ( rounding it in two significant figures )

A 1 800-kg pile driver is used to drive a steel I-beam into the ground. The pile driver falls 4.60 m before coming into contact
N76 [4]

Answer:

F = 614913.88 N

Explanation:

We are given;

Mass of pile driver; m = 1800 kg

Height of fall of pole driver; h = 4.6 m

Depth driven into beam; d = 13.6 cm = 0.136 m

Now, from energy equations and applying to this question, we can write that;

Workdone = Change in potential energy

Formula for workdone is; W = F × d

While the average potential energy here is; W = mg(h + d)

Thus;

Fd = mg(h + d)

Where F is the average force exerted by the beam on the pile driver while in bringing it to rest.

Making F the subject, we have;

F = mg(h + d)/d

F = 1800 × 9.81 × (4.6 + 0.136)/0.136

F = 614913.88 N
