an apple in a tree has a gravitational potential energy of 175J and a mass of 0.36g . how high from the ground is the apple

Physics

Neko [114]3 years ago

The equation for potential energy is denoted as; 

Pe = mgh,

where m = the mass, g = acceleration due to gravity, and h = vertical height of the apple. We are given the units for everything but height, which is also what we are solving for. We can then algebraically rearrange our initial equation to solve for h;

h = (Pe)/(mg)

Plug in your given units, and solve!





Post-check:

h = Pe/mg

h = 175J/(0.36g)(-9.81m/s^2)

h = appr. 49.5 meters

Note: Potential energy is a vector quantity; the displacement of the apple will be a negative number, but the distance itself, a scalar quantity, will be the absolute value of that.

A student puts a beaker of boiling water where it touches a block of ice.
Bumek [7]

Answer:

Option (A).

Explanation:

When a hot and a cold objects come in thermal contact with each other,exchange of heat takes place between them until thermal equilibrium is reached.

In this process thermal energy flows from high temperature to low.

Therefore, when a beaker of boiling water comes in touch with a block of ice,

Thermal energy starts flowing from boiling water to block of ice until equilibrium is established.

Option (A) will be the answer.

A 30000 grams boy is riding a merry-go-round with a radius of 600 cm. What is the centripetal force and acceleration on the boy
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

centripetal force is calculated by mass(kg) × tangetial velocity(m/s) ÷ radius (m)

Explanation:

so 30000g= 30kg

50km/h = 13.88m/s

600cm= 6m

30×13.88÷6= 69.4N

N= Newton's

hope this helps.

btw I'm 16 and love physics so I tried my best in this hope it went well!!

With the aid of a suitable diagram, explain what is meant by an electromagnetic wave.
suter [353]

Answer:

Electromagnetic waves or EM waves are waves that are created as a result of vibrations between an electric field and a magnetic field. In other words, EM waves are composed of oscillating magnetic and electric fields.

In order from lowest urgency to highest, which sequence properly ranks the product categories issued by the National Weather Ser
matrenka [14]

<u>Answer:</u>

In order from lowest urgency to highest, the sequence which properly ranks the product categories issued by the National Weather Service are as follows:

B- Outlook, Watch, Advisory, Warning.

<u>Explanation:</u>

An outlook for a hazardous weather describes the potential hazardous weather of concern in day 1 through 7. There are total two segments of the outlook, one for the marine zones and the second for the land based zones.  

A watch is issued when there is the possibility of hazardous weather within 48 hours, it does not guarantee that a hazardous weather is going to come, it just reminds the possibilities of any such weather to come.

Advisory comes third in the urgency ranking, we can explain this through an example: a winter weather advisory may be issued for amount of freezing rain or when there are chance of 2 to 4 inches of snow. And, in winter weather, an warning may be issued when there is one fourth inch or more of ice accumulation.

Which of the following describes electric current in the ocean?
BaLLatris [955]
Electric fields cause electric currents in the ocean. When electromagnetic fields are induced in the conducting oceans and Earth, Ionospheric and Magnetospheric electric current systems flow above the surface of the ocean and by the action of moving sea water.
