What is the energy of a 4 kg apple that is sitting on a 2 m high tree branch (use ham)

Physics
1 answer:
ziro4ka [17]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Explanation:

The energy is potential energy, mgh.

m = mass in kg

g = acceleration due to gravity (alot of talk about whether g is 9.8, 9.81 or 10)

h = height above your zero line (alot of times distance to the ground)

PE = mgh = 4 * 10 * 2 = 80 Nm or 80 Joules

An engine draws energy from a hot reservoir with a temperature of 1250 K and exhausts energy into a cold reservoir with a temper
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

The power output of this engine is  P =  17.5 W

The  the maximum (Carnot) efficiency is  \eta_c  = 0.7424

The  actual efficiency of this engine is  \eta _a  = 0.46

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The temperature of the hot reservoir is  T_h = 1250 \ K

      The temperature of the cold reservoir  is  T_c  =  322 \ K

     The energy absorbed from the hot reservoir is E_h  = 1.37 *10^{5} \ J

       The energy exhausts into  cold reservoir is  E_c  = 7.4 *10^{4} J

The power output is mathematically represented as

      P  =  \frac{W}{t}

Where t is the time taken which we will assume to be 1 hour =  3600 s  

W is the workdone which is mathematically represented as

      W =  E_h  -E_c

substituting values

       W = 63000 J

So

    P =  \frac{63000}{3600}

    P =  17.5 W

The Carnot efficiency is mathematically represented as

          \eta_c  =  1 - \frac{T_c}{T_h}

         \eta_c  =  1 - \frac{322}{1250}

         \eta_c  = 0.7424

The actual efficiency is mathematically represented as

        \eta _a  =   \frac{W}{E_h}

substituting values

         \eta _a  =  \frac{63000}{1.37*10^{5}}

         \eta _a  = 0.46

A red laser beam goes from crown glass with refraction index n=1.3 to air (n=1) with an incident angle of 0.23 radians. What is
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

   θ = 10.28º

Explanation:

To find the angle of refraction use the equation of refraction

        n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂

where index 1 is for incident light and index 2 is for refracted light.

         sin θ₂ = n₁ / n₂ sin θ

let's calculate

         sin = 1 / 1.3 sin 0.23

         sin = 0.175

        θ= 0.17528 rad

let's reduce to degrees

       θ = 0.17528 rad (180ª / pi rad)

       θ = 10.28º

A cello string vibrates in its fundamental mode with a frequency of 335 1/s. The vibrating segment is 28.5 cm long and has a mas
Inga [223]

Answer:

The tension in string is found to be 188.06 N

Explanation:

For the vibrating string the fundamental frequency is given as:

f1 = v/2L

where,

f1 = fundamental frequency = 335 Hz

v = speed of wave

L = length of string = 28.5 cm = 0.285 m

Therefore,

v = f1 2L

v = (335 Hz)(2)(0.285)

v = 190.95 m/s

Now, for the tension:

v = √T/μ

v² = T/μ

T = v² μ

where,

T = Tension

v = speed = 190.95 m/s

μ = linear mass density of string = mass/L = 0.00147 kg/0.285 m = 5.15 x 10^-3 kg/m

Therefore,

T = (190.95 m/s)²(5.15 x 10^-3 kg/m)

<u>T = 188.06 N</u>
