Answer:

The gravitational potential energy of the ball is 13.23 J.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the ball, m = 0.5 kg

height of the shelf, h = 2.7 m

The gravitational potential energy is given by;

P.E = mgh

where;

m is mass of the ball

g is acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

h is height of the ball

Substitute the givens and solve for gravitational potential energy;

PE = (0.5 x 9.8 x 2.7)

P.E = 13.23 J

Therefore, the gravitational potential energy of the ball is 13.23 J.

Why does a balloon filled with the air from your lungs sink to the ground but a balloon filled with Helium floats ?
hoa [83]

Helium is lighter than air from the lungs.

Explanation:

A balloon filled with the air from lungs will sink to the ground but a balloon filled with Helium floats because helium is lighter than air.

Air is a mixture of many gases.

The air from the lungs is predominantly made up of carbon dioxide and water vapor.

  • Gram per mole of carbon dioxide is 44. Water vapor is 18.
  • Compared to helium which is 4, we see that the gas is lighter.
  • Since the gas is lighter, it will float in air.
  • The main component of air around us is nitrogen gas with a gram per mole of 28.
  • A balloon filled with more of air from the lungs weigh more than that will filled air around and even far more than helium gas.
  • This will cause a helium filled balloon to float.

5. A box weighs 196 N. A rope is tied to the box. What is the
natta225 [31]

Answer:

296 N

Explanation:

Draw a free body diagram.  The box has two forces on it: tension up and weight down.

Apply Newton's second law:

∑F = ma

T − mg = ma

T = m (g + a)

Given m = 196 N / 9.8 m/s² = 20 kg, and a = +5 m/s²:

T = (20 kg) (9.8 m/s² + 5 m/s²)

T = 296 N
