Answer:
1. G.P.E = 24 J
2. center of mass
Explanation:
Given the following data;
Mass = 2kg
Height, h = 1.2m
Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 N/kg or m/s².
To find the gravitational potential energy;
Gravitational potential energy (GPE) is an energy possessed by an object or body due to its position above the earth.
Mathematically, gravitational potential energy is given by the formula;
Where;
- G.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;
G.P.E = 23.52 to 2 S.F = 24 Joules.
Translation kinetic energy is defined as the energy of a system due to the motion of the system’s center of mass. The center of mass is typically where the mass of the object or particle is concentrated.
We will find the mass from
mass = density x volume
We are told the density and must find the volume from the dimensions given
the volume of the washer will be the area x thickness (remembering to convert all measurements to meters)
if the washer had no hole, its area would be pi (0.0225m)^2 (remember to convert to meters and to use radius)
the area of the hole is pi(0.00625m)^2
so the area of the washer is pi[(0.0225m)^2 - (0.00625m)^2] = 1.5x10^-3 m
the volume of the washer is 1.5x10^-3 m x 1.5x10^-3 m = 2.25x10^-6 m^3 (the thickness of the washer is 1.5 mm = 1.5x10^-3m)
thus, the mass of the washer = 8598kg/m^3 x 2.25x10^-6m^3 = 0.0189kg = 18.9 grams
Circular motion is what an object has if it is moving around and around and around and around and around and around and around and around and around in a path that is a circle.
The main difference between the model of the atom proposed by Greek philosophers and the model proposed centuries later by Dalton is that the Greek one was mainly speculative and philosophical - it wasn't based on real evidence, but on their suggestions and thoughts about the matter. On the other hand, Dalton had the means to prove his theory using viable evidence, not just speculations.
