Answer:

<em>The PE of the mass increased by 6,972.95 J</em>

Explanation:

<u>Gravitational Potential Energy</u>

It's the energy stored in an object because of its vertical position or height in a gravitational field.

It can be calculated with the equation:

U=m.g.h

Where m is the mass of the object, h is the height with respect to a fixed reference, and g is the acceleration of gravity or 9.8 m/s^2.

We are given the mass of m=16 slug raised by a height h=10 ft. Both units will be converted to SI standard:

1 slug = 14.59 Kg, thus

16 slug = 16*14.59 Kg=233.44 Kg

1 ft = 0.3048 m, thus:

10 ft = 10*0.3048 m = 3.048 m

Thus, the PE of the mass increased by:

U = 233.44 * 9.8 * 3.048 = 6,972.95 J

the PE of the mass increased by 6,972.95 J

A dart is thrown from 1.50 m high at 10.0 m/s toward a target 1.73 m from the ground. At what angle was the dart thrown?

Triss [41]

Answer:

The angle of projection is 12.26⁰.

Explanation:

Given;

initial position of the dart, h₀ = 1.50 m

height above the ground reached by the dart, h₁ = 1.73 m

maximum height reached by the dart, Hm = h₁ - h₀ = 1.73 m - 1.50 m= 0.23 m

velocity of the dart, u = 10 m/s

The maximum height reached by the projectile is calculated as;

$H_m = \frac{u^2sin^2 \theta}{2g}$

where;

θ is angle of projection

g is acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

$H_m = \frac{u^2sin^2 \theta}{2g}\\\\sin^2 \theta = \frac{H_m \ \times \ 2g}{u^2} \\\\sin^2 \theta = \frac{0.23 \ \times \ 2(9.8)}{10^2} \\\\sin ^2\theta =0.04508\\\\sin \theta = \sqrt{0.04508} \\\\sin \theta = 0.2123\\\\\theta = sin^{-1}(0.2123)\\\\\theta = 12.26^0$

Therefore, the angle of projection is 12.26⁰.

A tiny boat is floating in a metal bucket. If you build a fire under the bucket ,how will most of the heat be transferred from t

Dimas [21]

The molecules will heat up and move faster, some evaporating and turning to gas, the toy boat will heat up if made of conducting materials but otherwise unchanged. The water will also start to boil.

A research team developed a robot named Ellie. Ellie ran 1,000 meters for 200 seconds from the research building, rested for 100

Verizon [17]

Answer:

1. Running velocity (5 m/s)

2. Resting velocity (0 m/s)

3. Walking velocity (-1 m/s)

1. Running speed (5 m/s)

2. Walking speed (1 m/s)

3. Resting speed (0 m/s)

Explanation:

Attached you will find the plot of position vs time of Ellie´s movement.

The velocity is the displacement of the object over time relative to the system of reference. The speed, in change, is the traveled distance over time in disregard of the system of reference.

So, the velocity is calculated as follows:

v = Δx / Δt

where

Δx = final position - initial position

Δt = elapsed time

1) The average velocity of Ellie while running is:

v = 1000 m - 0 m / 200 s = 5 m/s

While resting:

v = 0 m - 0 m / 100 s = 0 m/s

And while walking back:

v = 0 m - 1000 m / 1000 s = - 1 m/s

Note that in this last case, the initial position is 1000 m because Ellie is 1000 m from the origin of the system of reference when she walks back. The final position will be the origin of the system of reference, 0 m.

Comparing with the graphic, the velocity is the slope of the function position(t).

Then:

1. Running velocity (5 m/s)

2. Resting velocity (0 m/s)

3. Walking velocity (-1 m/s)

2) The speed is the distance traveled over time:

Running speed = 1000 m / 200 s = 5m /s

Resting speed = 0 m / 100 s = 0 m/s

Walking speed = 1000 m/ 1000 s = 1 m/s

Then:

1. Running speed (5 m/s)

2. Walking speed (1 m/s)

3. Resting speed (0 m/s)

You wind a small paper tube uniformly with 153 turns of thin wire to form a solenoid. The tube\'s diameter is 5.11 mm and its le

lina2011 [118]

The concept required to solve this problem is linked to inductance. This can be defined as the product between the permeability in free space by the number of turns squared by the area over the length. Recall that Inductance is defined as the opposition of a conductive element to changes in the current flowing through it. Mathematically it can be described as

$L = \frac{\mu N^2 A}{l}$
