2. A 50 kg diver is standing on the edge of a 15 m high cliff. What is his potential energy?

Physics

Answer:

3675 J

Explanation:

Gravitational Potential Energy = \frac{1}{2} × mass × g × height

( g is the gravitation field strength )

Mass = 50 kg

G = 9.8 N/kg ( this is always the same )

Height = 15 m

Gravitational Potential Energy = \frac{1}{2} × 50 ×9.8 × 15

= 3675 J

An object is placed 4.0 cm to the left of a convex lens with a focal length of +8.0 cm . Where is the image of the object?
Serjik [45]

The image of the object is 8cm to the left of the lens (D)

<h3></h3>

What is the image of an object?

The image of an object is said to be the location where light rays from that object intersect with a mirror by reflection.

It is calculated thus:

1÷v = 1÷f - 1÷u

<h3>How to calculate the image of an object</h3>

From the formula

1÷v = 1÷f - 1÷u

<h3>Where </h3>

V = image distance fromthe object

U = object

f = focal length

Substitute the values

1÷v = 1÷8 - 1÷ 4

1÷v = - 1÷8

Make v the subject of formula

v = -8cm

Therefore, the image of the object is 8cm to the left of the lens (D)

if a car has a constant acceleration of 4 m/s^2, starting from rest, how fast is it traveling after 5 seconds?​
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

20 m/s

Explanation:

Recall that one of the equations of motions can be written:

v = u + at, (also see attached for reference)

Where,

v = final speed (we are asked to find this)

u = initial speed = 0 (because it starts from rest)

t = time taken = 5s

We simply substitute the given values into the equation:

v = u + at

v = 0 + (4)(5)

v = 20 m/s

In a pith ball experiment, the two pith balls are at rest. The magnitude of the tension in each string is |T|=0.55N, and the ang
Len [333]

Answer:

Explanation: Two pith ball will repel each other . they will remain balaced due to tension in the spring whose one component balances the weight and the other balances the repulsive force on each.

The gravitational force will be balanced by T cos 27.33 and the electrostatic repulsive force will be balanced by T sin27.33

So

Fg =T cos 27.33

= .55 X .888

= .49 N

Fq = T sin27.33

=.55 x .459

= .25 N.
