Answer:

Water > Box of books > Stone > Ball

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the potential energy of each object. This can be obtained as follow:

For stone:

Mass (m) = 15 Kg

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 10 m/s²

Height (h) = 3 m

Potential energy (PE) =?

PE = mgh

PE = 15 × 10 × 3

PE = 450 J

For water:

Mass (m) = 10 Kg

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 10 m/s²

Height (h) = 9 m

Potential energy (PE) =?

PE = mgh

PE = 10 × 10 × 9

PE = 900 J

For ball:

Mass (m) = 1 Kg

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 10 m/s²

Height (h) = 20 m

Potential energy (PE) =?

PE = mgh

PE = 1 × 10 × 20

PE = 200 J

For box of books:

Mass (m) = 25 Kg

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 10 m/s²

Height (h) = 2 m

Potential energy (PE) =?

PE = mgh

PE = 25 × 10 × 2

PE = 500 J

Summary:

Object >>>>>>>> Potential energy

Stone >>>>>>>>> 450 J

Water >>>>>>>>> 900 J

Ball >>>>>>>>>>> 200 J

Box of books >>> 500 J

Arranging from greatest to least, we have:

Object >>>>>>>> Potential energy

Water >>>>>>>>> 900 J

Box of books >>> 500 J

Stone >>>>>>>>> 450 J

Ball >>>>>>>>>>> 200 J

Water > Box of books > Stone > Ball

How does an atom change if all of its electrons are removed?
Alex
<span>The atom becomes positively charged.

When you add electrons to a neutral atom, it is no longer a neutral atom, it has a negative change and is an anion. When you take away electrons from a neutral atom, it is no longer a neutral atom- it becomes a positive atom, and is a cation.</span>

A block of 250-mm length and 54 × 40-mm cross section is to support a centric compressive load P. The material to be used is a b
musickatia [10]

Answer:

P = 17.28*10⁶ N

Explanation:

Given

L = 250 mm = 0.25 m

a = 0.54 m

b = 0.40 m

E = 95 GPa = 95*10⁹ Pa

σmax = 80 MPa = 80*10⁶ Pa

ΔL = 0.12%*L = 0.0012*0.25 m = 3*10⁻⁴ m

We get A as follows:

A = a*b = (0.54 m)*(0.40 m) = 0.216 m²

then, we apply the formula

ΔL = P*L/(A*E)  ⇒ P = ΔL*A*E/L

⇒  P = (3*10⁻⁴ m)*(0.216 m²)*(95*10⁹ Pa)/(0.25 m)

⇒  P = 24624000  N = 24.624*10⁶ N

Now we can use the equation

σ = P/A

⇒  σ = (24624000  N)/(0.216 m²) = 114000000 Pa = 114 MPa > 80 MPa

So σ > σmax  we use σmax

⇒  P = σmax*A = (80*10⁶ Pa)*(0.216 m²) = 17280000 N = 17.28*10⁶ N

A hollow cylinder of mass 2.00 kg, inner radius 0.100 m, and outer radius 0.200 m is free to rotate without friction around a ho
Aneli [31]

Answer:

h=2.86m

Explanation:

In order to give a quick response to this exercise we will use the equations of conservation of kinetic and potential energy, the equation is given by,

\Delta PE_i + \Delta KE_i = \Delta PE_f +\Delta KE_f

There is no kinetic energy in the initial state, nor potential energy in the end,

mgh+0=0+KE_f

In the final kinetic energy, the energy contributed by the Inertia must be considered, as well,

mgh = (\frac{1}{2}mv^2+\frac{1}{2}I\omega^2)

The inertia of the bodies is given by the equation,

I=\frac{m(R_1^2+R^2_2)}{2}

I=\frac{2(0.2^2+0.1^2)}{2}

I=0.05Kgm^2

On the other hand the angular velocity is given by

\omega =\frac{v}{R_2}=\frac{4}{1/5} = 2rad/s

Replacing these values in the equation,

(0.5)(9.8)(h) =\frac{1}{2}*0.5*4^2+\frac{1}{2}*0.05*20^2

Solving for h,

h=2.86m
