Answer:
2.61 J
Explanation:
Since potential energy U = mgy where m = mass of object, g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s² and y = height of object above the ground.
Now for the coffee mug, m= 0.422 kg and it is 0.63 m on a table, so it is 0.63 m above the ground. Thus, y = 0.63 m.
We compute U
U = mgy
= 0.422 kg × 9.8 m/s² × 0.63 m
= 2.605 J
≅ 2.61 J
So, the potential energy of the mug with respect to the floor is 2.61 J
No, I heavier object will fall much faster than something lighter than it. This is because it’s more dense and hard so it can cut through the air particles quicker than a lighter object which takes longer to cut through the air and fall
Example:
A rock vs a feather
The rock will fall quicker because it’s more dense and falls straight down and the feather will be slower because it flows slowly down through the air particles
Answer:
Final temperature of the aluminum = 41.8 °C
Explanation:
We have the equation for energy
E = mcΔT
Here m = 55 g = 0.055 kg
ΔT = T - 27.5
Specific heat capacity of aluminum = 921.096 J/kg.K
E = 725 J
Substituting
E = mcΔT
725 = 0.055 x 921.096 x (T - 27.5)
T - 27.5 = 14.31
T = 41.81 ° C = 41.8 °C
Final temperature of the aluminum = 41.8 °C
Answer:
For number 2, it will be 8.
