How high should a box of mass 20kg is lifted to store energy of 10,000 J? (g=10m/s)​

Answer:

Height, h = 50 meters.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 20kg

Potential energy = 10,000 J

Acceleration due to gravity, g = 10m/s²

To find the height of the box;

Potential energy can be defined as an energy possessed by an object or body due to its position.

Mathematically, potential energy is given by the formula;

P.E = mgh

Where,

  • P.E represents potential energy measured in Joules.
  • m represents the mass of an object.
  • g represents acceleration due to gravity measured in meters per seconds square.
  • h represents the height measured in meters.

Substituting into the formula, we have;

10000 = 20*10*h

10000 = 200h

Height, h = 10000/200

Height, h = 50 meters.

a cannonball is fired with a speed of 76 m/s from the top of a cliff. It strikes the plane below with a speed of 89 m/s. if we n
RSB [31]

Answer:

we use the formula,

v {}^{2}  = u {}^{2}  + 2gh

89 {}^{2}  = 76 {}^{2}  + 2(10)h

h = (89 {}^{2}  - 76 {}^{2} ) \div 20

h= 107 m

In a nuclear reactor, each atom of uranium (of atomic mass 235 u) releases about 200 MeV when it fissions. What is the change in
Ket [755]

Answer:

0.002372187708 kg

Explanation:

Each atom of Uranium 235 releases 200 MeV = 200×10⁶×1.60218×10⁻¹⁹

= 200×1.60218×10⁻¹³ Joule

Number of atoms in a 2.6 kg sample mass = (2.6/0.235)×6.02214076×10²³

⇒Number of atoms in a 2.6 kg sample mass = 66.627×10²³ atoms

Change in energy = Change in mass / (speed of light)²

ΔE = Δmc²

⇒200×1.60218×10⁻¹³×66.627×10²³ = Δm×(3×10⁸)²

⇒Δm = 200×1.60218×10⁻¹³×66.627×10²³/(3×10⁸)²

⇒Δm = 2372.187708×10⁻⁶ kg

∴Change in mass = 0.002372187708 kg

A charged particle decelerates as it moves from location a to location b. if va = 160 v and vb = 100 v, what is the sign of the
skelet666 [1.2K]

The sign of the charged particle is positively charged.

<h3>What is potential difference?</h3>
  • When a single charge is transported in an electric field, work is done by the potential difference (also known as electrical potential).
  • There is potential energy stored in this charge that could flow when work is done on it.
  • Voltage is the possibility of a single charge flowing. The need to flow increases with voltage.
  • Here, voltage can be the potential differences.

The potential difference between the 2 points determines the movement of that particle. An electron moves from lower to higher potential which is negatively charged, and a positively charged particle moves  from higher to lower potential.

Now, since the particle is moving from a point A having 160 v potential to point B having 100 v potential that is it is moving from higher potential to a lower potential therefore the particle will be a positively charged one.
