Answer:

Object C has the most potential energy.

Between A and B, we do not know which has more potential energy.

Explanation:

We know the object with the most potential energy and this is the object at C.

Potential energy is the energy due to the position of a body above the ground surface.

The higher a body is above ground, the more its potential energy.

 Potential energy  = mass x acceleration due to gravity x height

So;

 Object C has the most potential energy.

Between A and B, we do not know which has more potential energy.

This is because, the height and mass of the objects are not quantified using numbers.

Potential energy is a function of mass and height and acceleration due to gravity but acceleration due gravity is a constant.

This city is the capital of the state of Georgia since 1868 and was burned during the Civil War.
Sphinxa [80]

The correct answer is - Atlanta.

Georgia is a state that has had multiple capitals since the arrival of the first European settlers, changing them very often in accordance to the circumstances. The last one in the row has been Atlanta. This city got the privilege to be the capital of Georgia in 1868 after the Atlanta council applied for it. The US government took everything in perspective, from infrastructure, population, location, and very importantly politics. The political aspect seems to be the case where Atlanta won the case to become capital, as the capital until than, Milledgeville, was still a city where the black population was not welcomed and the racism was still on a very high level.

A 525 kg satellite is in a circular orbit at an altitude of 575 km above the Earth's surface. Because of air friction, the satel
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

1.69\cdot 10^{10}J

Explanation:

The total energy of the satellite when it is still in orbit is given by the formula

E=-G\frac{mM}{2r}

where

G is the gravitational constant

m = 525 kg is the mass of the satellite

M=5.98\cdot 10^{24}kg is the Earth's mass

r is the distance of the satellite from the Earth's center, so it is the sum of the Earth's radius and the altitude of the satellite:

r=R+h=6370 km +575 km=6945 km=6.95\cdot 10^6 m

So the initial total energy is

E_i=-(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})\frac{(525 kg)(5.98\cdot 10^{24} kg)}{2(6.95\cdot 10^6 m)}=-1.51\cdot 10^{10}J

When the satellite hits the ground, it is now on Earth's surface, so

r=R=6370 km=6.37\cdot 10^6 m

so its gravitational potential energy is

U = -G\frac{mM}{r}=-(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})\frac{(525 kg)(5.98\cdot 10^{24}kg)}{6.37\cdot 10^6 m}=-3.29\cdot 10^{10} J

And since it hits the ground with speed

v=1.90 km/s = 1900 m/s

it also has kinetic energy:

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2=\frac{1}{2}(525 kg)(1900 m/s)^2=9.48\cdot 10^8 J

So the total energy when the satellite hits the ground is

E_f = U+K=-3.29\cdot 10^{10}J+9.48\cdot 10^8 J=-3.20\cdot 10^{10} J

So the energy transformed into internal energy due to air friction is the difference between the total initial energy and the total final energy of the satellite:

\Delta E=E_i-E_f=-1.51\cdot 10^{10} J-(-3.20\cdot 10^{10} J)=1.69\cdot 10^{10}J

Instantaneous speed is measured
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

C. At a particular instant

Explanation:

Speed is the defined as the ratio between the distance covered by an object and the time taken:

v=\frac{d}{t}

where d is the distance and t the time.

However, there are two possible measurements of speed:

- Average speed: this is the speed measured over a non-zero time interval (for example: a car moving 100 metres in 5 seconds; its average speed is

v=\frac{100 m}{5 s}=20 m/s

- Instantaneous speed: this is the speed of an object measured at a particular instant in time, so for a time interval that tends to zero. So, in the previous example, the average speed is 20 m/s but the instantaneous speed of the car at various instants of time can be different from that value.

Helium gas is compressed by an adiabatic compressor from an initial state of 14 psia and 50°F to a final temperature of 320°F in
iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

The value is  P_2 = 40.54 \ psla

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

 The initial pressure is  P_1 = 14\  psla

  The initial temperature is  T_1 =  50 \ F = (50 - 32) * [\frac{5}{9} ] + 273 = 283  \  K

   The final temperature is  T_2 =  320 \ F = (320 - 32) * [\frac{5}{9} ] + 273 =433  \  K

Generally the equation for adiabatic process is mathematically represented as

         PT^{\frac{\gamma}{1- \gamma} } =  Constant

=>      P_1T_1^{\frac{\gamma}{1- \gamma} } =  P_2T_2^{\frac{\gamma}{1- \gamma} }

Generally for a monoatomic gas  \gamma =  \frac{5}{3}

So

           14 * 283^{\frac{\frac{5}{3} }{1- [\frac{5}{3} ]} } =P_2 * 433^{\frac{\frac{5}{3} }{1- [\frac{5}{3} ]} }

=>       14 * 283^{-2.5} =P_2 * 433^{-2.5}

=>       P_2 = 40.54 \ psla
