Answer:

Potential energy =mass* acceleration due to gravity * height

mass*acceleration due to gravity =weight

hence potential energy of the puppy= weight * height

=18*2

=36 joule

The stopcock connecting a 2.14 L bulb containing oxygen gas at a pressure of 8.19 atm, and a 9.84 L bulb containing krypton gas

marshall27 [118]

Answer : The final pressure of the system in atm is, 3.64 atm

Explanation :

Boyle's Law : It is defined as the pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas at constant temperature and number of moles.

$P\propto \frac{1}{V}$

or,

$P_1V_1+P_2V_2=P_fV_f$

where,

$P_1$ = first pressure = 8.19 atm

$P_2$ = second pressure = 2.65 atm

$V_1$ = first volume = 2.14 L

$V_2$ = second volume = 9.84 L

$P_f$ = final pressure = ?

$V_f$ = final volume = 2.14 L + 9.84 L = 11.98 L

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

$8.19atm\times 2.14L+2.65atm\times 9.84L=P_f\times 11.98L$

$P_f=3.64atm$

Therefore, the final pressure of the system in atm is, 3.64 atm

a 5.0 kg ball is dropped from a 2.5 m high window. what is the velocity of the ball just before it hits the ground?

julsineya [31]

Answer:

Approximately $7.0\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}$ .

Assumption: the ball dropped with no initial velocity, and that the air resistance on this ball is negligible.

Explanation:

Assume the air resistance on the ball is negligible. Because of gravity, the ball should accelerate downwards at a constant $g = 9.81 \; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}$ near the surface of the earth.

For an object that is accelerating constantly,

$v^2 - u^2 = 2\, a \, x$ ,

where

$u$ is the initial velocity of the object,
$v$ is the final velocity of the object.
$a$ is its acceleration, and
$x$ is its displacement.

In this case, $x$ is the same as the change in the ball's height: $x = 2.5\; \rm m$ . By assumption, this ball was dropped with no initial velocity. As a result, $u = 0$ . Since the ball is accelerating due to gravity, $a = 9.81\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}$ .
