Formula: PE = mgh
m = 20 kg, g = 9.8 m/s^2 h= ?
1000 = 20 * 9.8 * h
1000 = 196h
h = 5.10204082
The height is around 5m

A student is measuring the volumes of nectar produced by a flowering plant for an experiment. He measures nectar from 50 flowers
pantera1 [17]

The question is incomplete, the complete question is;

A student is measuring the volumes of nectar produced by a flowering plant for an experiment. He measures nectar from 50 flowers using a graduated cylinder that measures to the nearest millilitre (mL). Which statement describes a change that can help improve the results of his experiment?

A.) His measurements will be more precise if he takes measurements from an additional 100 flowers. B.) His measurements will be more accurate if he uses a graduated cylinder that measures to the nearest tenth of a mL. C.) His measurements will be more precise if he uses a graduated cylinder that measures to the nearest tenth of a mL. D.) His measurements will be more accurate if he takes measurements from an additional 100 flowers.

Answer:

His measurements will be more accurate if he uses a graduated cylinder that measures to the nearest tenth of a mL.

Explanation:

In the measurements of volume using most graduated cylinders, the cylinders are calibrated to the nearest tenth owing to the uncertainty in the measurement of volume.

Hence if a cylinder has measures to the nearest milliliter(mL), then he can improve his experiment by using a graduated cylinder that measures to the nearest tenth of a mL

How do I figure out the GPE of an object on the ground? question 28.
Leona [35]
In this scenario, only conservative force is acting on the ice-cream hence energy is conserved.
Now, you know that ice-cream was held at a height of 1.75 m from ground. Taking ground( h= 0 meters) as reference,

Total energy of ice-cream before it fell = Total energy after it reached the ground.

Once ice-cream falls, all its GPE is converted into kinetic energy. Kinetic energy will be maximum just before it hits the ground. And since ice-cream is inelastic substance, it will come to at rest. That is, its GPE will be zero on the ground

A TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation) device creates very rapidly changing magnetic fields. The field near a typical pulsed-
GrogVix [38]

Explanation:

It is given that, the field near a typical pulsed-field machine rises from 0 T to 2.5 T in 200 μs

Change in magnetic field, dB=2.5\ T

Change in time, dt=200\ \mu s=200\times 10^{-6}\ s=2\times 10^{-4}\ s

Diameter, d = 2.3 cm

Radius, r = 0.0115 m

Emf is induced in the ring as the field changes. It is given by :

E=\dfrac{d\phi}{dt}

E=\dfrac{d(B.A\ cos(0))}{dt}

E=A\dfrac{d(B)}{dt}

E=\pi (0.0115)^2\dfrac{2.5}{2\times 10^{-4}}

E = 5.19 volts

So, the emf induced in the ring is 5.19 volts. Hence, this is the required solution.

a student attaches a 0.5 kg object to a 0.7 m string and rotates the object around her head and parallel to the ground. how much
Marina CMI [18]

The object would have a centripetal acceleration <em>a</em> of

<em>a</em> = (12 m/s)² / (0.7 m) ≈ 205.714 m/s²

so that the required tension in the string would be

<em>T</em> = (0.5 kg) <em>a</em> ≈ 102.857 N ≈ 100 N

(rounding to 1 significant digit)
