Potential energy is mass * gravity * height. (m*g*h).

350 = 17*9.8*h   <--350 is its energy, 17kg is its mass, and 9.8 is gravity's acceleration on the object. We now just need to solve for h.

h = 350/(17 * 9.8) =  2.1 meters, which, when rounded to the nearest whole meter, is 2 meters.

The shelf is 2 meters high.

A fully loaded cart with a mass of 2200 kg starts from the top of a 12-meter hill on a roller coaster.
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

A. potential energy is 258720 Joule

Explanation:

A.Gravitational potential energy is: PE = m × g × h

velocity =  15.33 m/s when the car reaches the bottom of the hill.

where, m = mass

            g = acceleration due to gravity

            h = height from the bottom of hill.

The potential energy is : m×g×h

                                     =(2200×9.8×12)

                                     =258720 Joule

B. at the bottom of the hill, the potential energy is converted into kinetic energy so PE at top = KE at bottom

                    kinetic energy= \frac{1}{2}(m*v^{2})

where v = velocity

          m= mass

therefore,               v=\sqrt\frac{2*K.E}{m} {}

                         or,  v=\sqrt{\frac{2*258720}{2200} }

                         or,   v=15.33 m/s

A student stands on a scale, and the scale reads 85 N. What is being measured by the scale
Dmitry [639]

Force. Force is measured by newtons, probably because he came up with the equations to calculate force.

Hope this helps!

A uniform, 4.5 kg, square, solid wooden gate 2.0 mm on each side hangs vertically from a frictionless pivot at the center of its
True [87]

Answer:

The angular velocity is  w = 1.43\  rad/sec

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  mass of wooden gate  is m_g = 4.5 kg

    The  length of side is  L = 2 m

    The mass of the raven is  m_r = 1.2 kg

     The initial speed of the raven is u_r = 5.0m/s

     The final speed of the raven is   v_r = 1.5 m/s

From the law of  conservation of angular momentum we express this question mathematically as

       Total initial angular momentum  of both the Raven and  the Gate =  The Final angular momentum of both the Raven and the Gate  

The initial angular momentum of the Raven is m_r * u_r * \frac{L}{2}

Note: the length is half because the Raven hit the gate at the mid point

The initial angular momentum of the Gate is  zero

Note: This above is the generally formula for angular momentum of  square objects

  The final angular velocity  of the Raven is  m_r * v_r * \frac{L}{2}

   The  final angular velocity of the Gate  is   \frac{1}{3} m_g L^2 w

Substituting this formula

  m_r * u_r * \frac{L}{2}  =   \frac{1}{3} m_g L^2 w + m_r * v_r * \frac{L}{2}

  \frac{1}{3} m_g L^2 w   =    m_r * v_r * \frac{L}{2} -   m_r * u_r * \frac{L}{2}

  \frac{1}{3} m_g L^2 w   =    m_r *  \frac{L}{2} * [u_r - v_r]

Where w is the angular velocity

     Substituting value  

   \frac{1}{3} (4.5)(2)^2  w   =    1.2 *  \frac{2}{2} * [5 - 1.5]

     6w = 4.2

       w = \frac{6}{4.2}

            w = 1.43\  rad/sec

When a system is heated, heat is _______________ by the system. The amount of heat added is given a _______________ sign. When a
Valentin [98]

First of all, we need to write the First Law of thermodynamics assigning the correct sign convention:

\Delta U = Q+W

where

\Delta U is the change in internal energy of the system

Q is the heat absorbed/released

W is the work done

and the signs are assigned based on whether there is an increase in the internal energy or not. Therefore:

Q is positive if it is absorbed by the system (because internal energy increases)

Q is negative if it is released by the system (because internal energy decreases)

W is negative if it is done by the system on the surrounding (because internal energy decreases)

W is positive if it is done by the surrounding on the system (because internal energy increases)

Using these definitions, we can now fill the text of the question:

When a system is heated, heat is ABSORBED by the system. The amount of heat added is given a POSITIVE sign. When a system is cooled, heat is RELEASED by the system. The amount of heat is given a NEGATIVE sign. If a gas expands, it must push the surrounding atmosphere away. Thus, work is done BY the system and is given a NEGATIVE sign. If a gas is compressed, then work is done ON the system. This work is given a POSITIVE sign.

Describe how energy can be converted from one form to another in a wind-up toy.
tresset_1 [31]
The idea of a mechanical device, like a wind up toy, is to take take advantage of the laws of thermodynamics in order to perform some kind of work.

In the case of a wind up toy, mechanical energy (winding the handle) is stored as potential energy in an internal spring. This creates a state of 'low entropy' in the toy since work was done to concentrate energy in the spring.

The natural tendency of the spring is to unwind and distribute it's energy in a more disordered fashion, thereby increasing entropy and following the laws of thermodynamics.

The mechanism inside the toy is engineered to focus the flow of energy being delivered by the spring into a specific mechanical motion (Kinetic Energy), then sound (air pressure) and finally heat (thermal energy).
