3 0

Answer:

5760 J

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mass of block = 48 kg

Height (h) = 12 m

Gravitational field strength (g) = 10 N/Kg

Gravitational potential energy (PE) =?

The gravitational potential energy stored by the block can simply be obtained as follow:

PE = mgh

PE = 48 × 10 × 12

PE = 5760 J

Therefore, the gravitational potential energy stored by the block is 5760 J

If the distance between the Earth and Moon were half what it is now, by what factor would the force of gravity between them be c
hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

4

Explanation:

G = Gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ m³/kgs²

m_1 = Mass of Earth

m_2 = Mass of Moon

r = Distance between Earth and Moon

Old gravitational force

F_o=\dfrac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}

New gravitational force

F_n=\dfrac{Gm_1m_2}{(\dfrac{1}{2}r)^2}

Dividing the equations

\dfrac{F_n}{F_o}=\dfrac{\dfrac{Gm_1m_2}{(\dfrac{1}{2}r)^2}}{\dfrac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{F_n}{F_o}=\dfrac{\dfrac{Gm_1m_2}{\dfrac{1}{4}r^2}}{\dfrac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{F_n}{F_o}=4

The ratio is \dfrac{F_n}{F_o}=4

The new force would be 4 times the old force

The most precise measurement of the speed of light in vacuum is 299,792,458 m/s. Which of the following values would you use to
Luda [366]

Answer:

v = 3.00 x 10⁸ m/s

Explanation:

given,

speed of light in vacuum = 299,792,458 m/s

speed of light in scientific notation to three significant figures

v = 2.99792458  x  10⁸ m/s

by rounding off the speed to three significant figure.

v = 3.00 x 10⁸ m/s

On the fourth place the value is greater than 5 so, on the third place 1 will be added.

now, the speed with three significant figure comes out to be

v = 3.00 x 10⁸ m/s

If an amount of heat Q is needed to increase the temperature of a solid metal sphere of diameter D from 4°C to 7°C, the amount o
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

Q = c M ΔT      where c is the heat capacity and M the mass present

Q2 / Q1 = M2 / M1    since the other factors are the same

M = ρ V     where ρ is the density

M = ρ Π (d / 2)^2           where d is the diameter of the sphere

M2 / M1 = (2 D/2)^2 / (D/2)^2 = 4

It will take 4Q heat to heat the second sphere
