Given:

mass of the box = 200kg
velocity of the moving box = 5m/s
height of the box = 1m

Required:

The comparison of the kinetic energy and potential energy

Solution:

Kinetic energy can be calculated using the formula:

KE = 0.5(mass)(velocity)²
KE = 0.5(200kg)(5m/s)²
KE = 2500 Joules

Potential energy can be calculated using the formula:

PE = (mass)(gravity)(height)
PE = (200kg)(9.8m/s²)(1m)
PE = 1960 Joules

At the given conditions, the kinetic energy is greater than the potential energy. This means that the total energy is spent to move horizontally rather than vertically.

How do you find the capacitance in this?
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

parallel capacitances add directly

Series capacitances add by reciprocal of sum of reciprocals.

Ceq = [ C ] + [1 / (1/C + 1/C)] + [1 / (1/C + 1/C + 1/C)]

Ceq = [ C ] + [C / 2] + [C / 3]

Ceq = [ 6C/6 ] + [3C / 6] + [2C / 6]

Ceq = 11C/6

Define s.i unit of force explanation
kvv77 [185]
<h3><u>Answer</u> :</h3>

◈ As per newton's second law of motion, Force is defined as the product of mass and acceleration.

Mathematically,

\dag\:\boxed{\bf{\purple{F=ma}}}

Unit of mass : kg

Unit of acceleration : m/s²

Therefore,

Unit of force ➠ <u>kg m/s²</u>

SI unit : <u>N (newton)</u> or <u>kg m/s²</u>

Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer: This type of questions are called probing questions. The correct option is D.

Explanation:

Probing questions are the type of questions that are asked to investigate an ongoing event. It helps the investigator to know more about what is happening and how to obtain conclusive decisions through the personal opinions of the respondent . For example from the question, Liza wanted to know more about the project updates which was held in the weekly meetings. She asked her employees questions like:

- Why were you late meeting your last deadline?

-Were there external factors that delayed your work?

-Did other coworkers get their part of the assignment to you on time?

- Do you need more help from me?".

A child uses a rubber band to launch a bottle cap at an angle of 37.0° above the horizontal. The cap travels a horizontal distan
zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

Initial velocity will be 1.356 m/sec      

Explanation:

Let the initial speed = u

Angle at which rubber band is launched = 37°

Horizontal component of initial velocity u_x=ucos\Theta =ucos37^{\circ}=0.7986u

Time is given as t = 1.20 sec

Distance in horizontal direction = 1.30 m

We know that distance = speed × time

So time t=\frac{distance}{speed}

1.20=\frac{1.3}{0.7986u}

u=1.356m/sec

So initial velocity will be 1.356 m/sec

A curve of radius 166 m is banked at an angle of 11°. An 736-kg car negotiates the curve at 81 km/h without skidding. Neglect th
lianna [129]

Answer:

F_n = 7509.33\ N

Explanation:

given,

radius of curve = 166 m

angle of the banked road = 11°

mass of car = 736 Kg

speed of the curve = 81 km/h

                                = 81 x 0.278 = 22.52 m/s

normal force acting on the tires

on tire there will be two force acting on it

first one will be force acting due to weight and the other force acting on the tire is due to centripetal force.

F_n = m g cos \theta+ \dfrac{mv^2}{r} sin \theta

F_n = 736 \times 9.8 \times cos 11^0+\dfrac{736 \times 22.52^2}{166} sin 11^0

F_n = 7080.28+429.047

F_n = 7509.33\ N
