How much gravitational potential energy does the block have
when it gets to the top of the ramp ?

      (weight) x (height) = (15 N) x (0.2 m)  =  3 Joules .

If there were no friction, you would only need to do 3 Joules of work
to lift the block from the bottom to the top.

But the question says you actually have to do 4 Joules of work
to get the job done.

Friction stole one of your Joules along the way.

Choice-4 is not the correct one.
Choice-1 is the correct one.

===========================

Notice that the mass of the block is NOT  15 kg , and you
don't have to worry about gravity to answer this question.

The formula for potential energy is  (m)·(g)·(h) .
But (m·g) is just the WEIGHT, and the formula
is actually (weight)·(height).
The question GIVES us the weight of the block . . . 15 N .
So the potential energy at the top is just (15N)·(0.2m) = 3 Joules.

A large, cylindrical water tank with diameter 3.60 m is on a platform 2.00 m above the ground. The vertical tank is open to the
zysi [14]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the geometry of a cylindrical tank and its respective definition.

The volume of a tank is given by

V = \frac{\pi d^2}{4}h

Where

d = Diameter

h = Height

Considering that there are two stages, let's define the initial and final volume as,

V_0 = \frac{\pi d^2}{4}H

V_f = \frac{\pi d^2}{4}h

We know as well by definition that

1gal = 3.785*10^{-3}m^3

Then we have for the statement that

V_f = V_0 -1gal

V_f = V_0 - 3.785*10^{-3}

Replacing the previous data

\frac{\pi d^2}{4}h = \frac{\pi d^2}{4}H- 3.785*10^{-3}

\frac{\pi (3.6)^2}{4}h = \frac{\pi (3.6)^2}{4}(2)- 3.785*10^{-3}

Solving to get h,

h = 1.99963m

Therefore the change is

\Delta h = H-h

\Delta h = 2- 1.99963

\Delta h = 3.7*10^{-4}m=0.37mm

Therefore te change in the height of the water in the tank is 0.37mm

Select the correct statement to describe when a sample of liquid water vaporizes into water vapor
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

This procces is called evaporation.

Explanation:

When you have liquid water that is transformed into steam, a phase change is called evaporation. The temperature for the evaporation of water depends on the pressure, for example for water at atmospheric pressure the temperature of evaporation is equal to 100°C. as the pressure increases are achieved evaporation temperatures higher. When that happens, the phase change temperature of the water is not increasing, as the process that takes place is the transfer of latent heat and applies only to changes of phase, that is to say at atmospheric pressure when it has 100% of the steam this will be at 101°C.

What is the difference between amplitude and wavelength?
jasenka [17]

Answer:

Letter b is wavelength. Letter a is amplitude.

Explanation:

Let's imagine a simple experiment. Imagine you have a long thick rope which one end is at your hands, and you start an oscillatory motion in it, moving your hand up and down. Then a friend of you take a picture of the rope in motion, looking at the rope laterally. Now let's find the wavelength and amplitude. Amplitude is "The distance from the center of the oscillation of the rope (when the rope was not in motion) to its high or low point", or the vertical displacement, in our experiment. On the other hand, wavelength is "The distance between one high point /low point and the next high point /low point". Take a look at a photo of a wave in your textbook and you will find the answer as well. ; )
