Answer:
Water > Box of books > Stone > Ball
Explanation:
We'll begin by calculating the potential energy of each object. This can be obtained as follow:
For stone:
Mass (m) = 15 Kg
Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 10 m/s²
Height (h) = 3 m
Potential energy (PE) =?
PE = mgh
PE = 15 × 10 × 3
PE = 450 J
For water:
Mass (m) = 10 Kg
Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 10 m/s²
Height (h) = 9 m
Potential energy (PE) =?
PE = mgh
PE = 10 × 10 × 9
PE = 900 J
For ball:
Mass (m) = 1 Kg
Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 10 m/s²
Height (h) = 20 m
Potential energy (PE) =?
PE = mgh
PE = 1 × 10 × 20
PE = 200 J
For box of books:
Mass (m) = 25 Kg
Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 10 m/s²
Height (h) = 2 m
Potential energy (PE) =?
PE = mgh
PE = 25 × 10 × 2
PE = 500 J
Summary:
Object >>>>>>>> Potential energy
Stone >>>>>>>>> 450 J
Water >>>>>>>>> 900 J
Ball >>>>>>>>>>> 200 J
Box of books >>> 500 J
Arranging from greatest to least, we have:
Object >>>>>>>> Potential energy
Water >>>>>>>>> 900 J
Box of books >>> 500 J
Stone >>>>>>>>> 450 J
Ball >>>>>>>>>>> 200 J
Water > Box of books > Stone > Ball
Answer:
h = 3.3 m (Look at the explanation below, please)
Explanation:
This question has to do with kinetic and potential energy. At the beginning (time of launch), there is no potential energy- we assume it starts from the ground. There, is, however, kinetic energy
Kinetic energy =
m
Plug in the numbers =
(4.0)(
)
Solve = 2(64) = 128 J
Now, since we know that the mechanical energy of a system always remains constant in the absence of outside forces (there is no outside force here), we can deduce that the kinetic energy at the bottom is equal to the potential energy at the top. Look at the diagram I have attached.
Potential energy = mgh = (4.0)(9.8)(h) = 39.2(h)
Kinetic energy = Potential Energy
128 J = 39.2h
h = 3.26 m
h= 3.3 m (because of significant figures)
Answer:
<em>His angular velocity will increase.</em>
Explanation:
According to the conservation of rotational momentum, the initial angular momentum of a system must be equal to the final angular momentum of the system.
The angular momentum of a system =
'ω'
where
' is the initial rotational inertia
ω' is the initial angular velocity
the rotational inertia = 
where m is the mass of the system
and r' is the initial radius of rotation
Note that the professor does not change his position about the axis of rotation, so we are working relative to the dumbbells.
we can see that with the mass of the dumbbells remaining constant, if we reduce the radius of rotation of the dumbbells to r, the rotational inertia will reduce to
.
From
'ω' =
ω
since
is now reduced, ω will be greater than ω'
therefore, the angular velocity increases.
Answer:
Work done, W = 0.0219 J
Explanation:
Given that,
Force constant of the spring, k = 290 N/m
Compression in the spring, x = 12.3 mm = 0.0123 m
We need to find the work done to compress a spring. The work done in this way is given by :


W = 0.0219 J
So, the work done by the spring is 0.0219 joules. Hence, this is the required solution.
