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.

If Frequency F, velocity v, and density D are considered fundamental units, the dimensional formula for momentum will be :
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Let's see

Momentum be P

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow P=[Frequency]^a[velocity]^b[Density]^c

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow [P]=[F]^a[v]^b[D]^c

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow [M^1L^1T^{-1}]=[T^{-1}]^a[L^1T^{-1}]^b[M^1L^{-3}]^c

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow MLT^{-1}=T^{-a}L^bT^{-b}M^cL^{-3c}

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow MLT^{-1}=T^{-a-b}L^{b-3c}M^c

On comaparing

  • c=1

So

  • b-3c=1
  • b-3=1
  • b=1+3
  • b=4

and

  • -a-b=-1
  • -a-4=-1
  • -a=-1+4=3
  • a=-3

So the unit is

  • DV⁴/F³

What total mass must be converted into energy
Eduardwww [97]

This question apparently wants you to get comfortable
with  E = m c² .  But I must say, this question is a lame
way to do it.

c = 3 x 10⁸ m/s
                                                    E = m c²

                           1.03 x 10⁻¹³ joule  =  (m) (3 x 10⁸ m/s)²

Divide each side by (3 x 10⁸ m/s)²:

                         Mass = (1.03 x 10⁻¹³ joule) / (9 x 10¹⁶ m²/s²)

                                   =  (1.03 / 9) x (10⁻¹³ ⁻ ¹⁶) (kg)

                                   =        1.144 x 10⁻³⁰  kg .    (choice-1)

This is roughly the mass of (1 and 1/4) electrons, so it seems
that it could never happen in nature.  The question is just an
exercise in arithmetic, and not a particularly interesting one.

The Braidwood Nuclear Power Generating Station in northeastern
Ilinois USA serves Chicago and northern Illinois with electricity.
<span>The station has two pressurized water reactors, which can generate
a net total of 2,242 megawatts at full capacity, making it the largest
nuclear plant in the state.
If the Braidwood plant were able to completely convert mass
to energy, how much mass would it need to convert in order
to provide the total electrical energy that it generates in a year,
operating at full capacity ?

Energy = (2,242 x 10⁶ joule/sec) x (86,400 sec/day) x (365 da/yr)

             =  (2,242 x 10⁶ x 86,400 x 365) joules

             =          7.0704 x 10¹⁶ joules .

How much converted mass is that ?

                                           E  =  m c²

Divide each side by  c² :    Mass  =  E / c² .
c = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

              Mass = (7.0704 x 10¹⁶ joules) / (9 x 10¹⁶ m²/s²)

                        =        0.786 kilogram ! ! !

THAT should impress us !  If I've done the arithmetic correctly,
then roughly  (1 pound  11.7 ounces) of mass, if completely
converted to energy, would provide all the energy generated
by the largest nuclear power plant in Illinois, operating at max
capacity for a year !
