As long as it sits on the shelf, its potential energy
relative to the floor is . . .
Potential energy = (mass) x (gravity) x (height) =
(3 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) x (0.8m) = <u>23.52 joules</u> .
If it falls from the shelf and lands on the floor, then it has exactly that
same amount of energy when it hits the floor, only now the 23.52 joules
has changed to kinetic energy.
Kinetic energy = (1/2) x (mass) x (speed)²
23.52 joules = (1/2) x (3 kg) x (speed)²
Divide each side by 1.5 kg : 23.52 m²/s² = speed²
Take the square root of each side: speed = √(23.52 m²/s²) = <em>4.85 m/s </em> (rounded)
The answer is B - Current Y has a greater potential difference, and the charges flow at a slower rate.
I just took the quiz
This is more chemistry. But it is a process called fractional distillation, and it basically separates the long chained hydrocarbons from the short chained hydrocarbons through separation dependant on the boiling point of the crude oil.
Answer:
The work done on the Frisbee is 1.36 J.
Explanation:
Given that,
Mass of Frisbee, m = 115 g = 0.115 kg
Initial speed of Frisbee, u = 12 m/s at a point 1 m above the ground
Final speed of Frisbee , v = 10.9674 m/s when it has reached a height of 2.00 m. Let W is the work done on the Frisbee by its weight. According to work energy theorem, the work done is equal to the change in its kinetic energy. So,
So, the work done on the Frisbee is 1.36 J. Hence, this is the required solution.
