How can gravitational energy play an important part of my life

Physics
1 answer:
m_a_m_a [10]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Well, lets say you park your car on the top of a hill, gravitational energy prevents it from the car falling back. Or a snow pack, aka before a potential avalanche. Though gravity cannot keep it safe forever, gravitational energy keeps it from crashing asap. In this case, it gives you time to escape. Altogether, gravitational force keeps the earth in it's atmosphere.

A force of 45 newtons is applied on an object, moving it 12 meters away in the same direction as the force. What is the magnitud
NARA [144]
<h2>Answer: 540 J</h2>

Explanation:

The Work W done by a Force F refers to the release of potential energy from a body that is moved by the application of that force to overcome a resistance along a path.  

Now, when the applied force is constant and the direction of the force and the direction of the movement are parallel, the equation to calculate it is:  

W=(F)(d) (1)  

In this case both (the force and the distance in the path) are parallel (this means they are in the same direction), so the work W performed is the product of the force exerted to push the box F=45N by the distance traveled d=12m.

Hence:  

W=(45N)(12m)   (2)

W=540Nm=540J

Does every light source emit only one type of light?
blsea [12.9K]

Yes it is possible. Spectrum of emitted light depends upon the chemical composition of the source. and the way of its excitation. a clear example to us is that of sun.

An angry physics student releases a wrecking ball as shown. The wrecking ball is just about to hit the building at the final tim
daser333 [38]

Answer:

the force between the building and the ball is non-conservative (friction-type force)

Explanation

Explanation:For this exercise the student must create an impulse to move the ball towards the building, in this part he performs positive work since the applied force and the displacement are in the same direction.

When the ball moves it has a kinetic energy and if its height increases or decreases its potential energy also changes, but the sum of being must be equal to the initial work.

When the ball arrives and collides with the building, non-conservative forces, of various kinds; rubbing, breaking, etc. It transforms this energy into a part of heat and another in mechanical energy that the building must absorb, let us destroy its wall

Consequently, the force between the building and the ball is non-conservative (friction-type force

How many neutrons does element X have if its atomic number is 22 and its mass number is 96?
Dovator [93]
1. The mass number is protons + neutrons = mass number. In this case, we have protons + neutron = 164.The atomic number is simply the number of protons so we have 43 + neutrons = 164. Subtracting 43 from both sides we get neutrons = 121.
2.  = 4

3. The number of protons in the nucleus does not equal the number of neutrons. 

A=mass number: 
Z=atomic number (= number of protons)
N=number of neutrons:

A=Z+N

If the number of protons in the nucleus is equal the number of neutrons , we would have an even mass number; because Z=N=x; then A=x+x=2x  (this is always an even number) but  23 is an odd number, therefore the number of protons in the nucleus does not equal the number of neutrons.
