Answer: 2934.75 Joules

Explanation:

Potential energy can be defined as 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 second square.

h represents the height measured in meters.

Given the following data;

Weight =645

Height = 4.55

P.E = mgh

But we know that weight = mg = 645N

Substituting into the equation, we have;

P.E = 645 • 4.55

P.E = 2934.75J

Potential energy, P.E = 2934.75 Joules.

All household circuits are wired in parallel. A 1140-W toaster, a 270-W blender, and a 80-W lamp are plugged into the same outle

VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

total current = 12.417 A

so it will not fuse as current is less than 15 A

Explanation:

given data

toaster = 1140-W

blender = 270-W

lamp = 80-W

voltage = 120 V

solution

we know that current is express as

current = power ÷ voltage ......................1

here voltage is same in all three device

current by toaster is

I = $\frac{1140}{120}$

I = 9.5 A

and

current by blender

I = $\frac{270}{120}$

I = 2.25 A

and

current by lamp is

I = $\frac{80}{120}$

I = 0.667 A

so here device in parallel so

total current is = 9.5 A + 2.25 A + 0.667 A

total current = 12.417 A

so it will not fuse as current is less than 15 A

Ajoba and Prav drive to work. Ajoba drives 45 miles in 2.5 hours. Prav drives 74 km in 1 hour 15 min. Work out the difference be

Serggg [28]

Explanation:

We have,

Ajoba and Prav drive to work. Ajoba drives 45 miles in 2.5 hours. Prav drives 74 km in 1 hour 15 min.

1 mile = 1.6 km

45 miles = 72.42 km

74 miles = 119.0 km

1 hour 15 min means 1.25 hours

Average speed of Ajoba is :

$v_1=\dfrac{72.42 }{2.5}=28.96\ km/h$

Average speed of Prav,

$v_2=\dfrac{119}{1.25}=95.2\ km/h$

Difference in average speed of Ajoba and Prav is :

$v=v_2-v_1\\\\v=v_2-v_1\\\\v=95.2-28.96\\\\v=66.24\ km/h$

So, the difference in average speed of Ajoba and Prav is 66.24 km/h.

Un tubo cilindrico hueco de cobre mide 3 m de longitud tienen un diametro exterior de 4cm y un diametro interior de 2 cm¿cuanto

Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

W = 9.93 10² N

Explanation:

To solve this exercise we must use the concept of density

ρ = m / V

the tabulated density of copper is rho = 8966 kg / m³

let's find the volume of the cylindrical tube

V = A L

V = π (R_ext ² - R_int ²) L

let's calculate

V = π (4² - 2²) 10⁻⁴ 3

V = 1.13 10⁻² m³

m = ρ V

m = 8966 1.13 10⁻²

m = 1.01 10² kg

the weight of the tube

W = mg

W = 1.01 10² 9.8

W = 9.93 10² N
