Two 5.0 kilogram objects have different gravitational potential energies. What property of the objects must differ?

Physics
1 answer:
ipn [44]3 years ago

Answer:

Height.

Explanation:

Potential energy can be defined as an 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 seconds square.

h represents the height measured in meters.

Hence, the property of the object (having a mass of 5 kilograms) which must differ to have different gravitational potential energies is the height from which they are falling from.

The object having the higher height would have a greater gravitational potential energy than the lower object.

Determine the amount of work done by the applied force when a 87 N force is applied to move a 15 kg object a horizontal
elena-s [515]

Answer:

391.5 J

Explanation:

The amount of work done can be calculated using the formula:

  • W = F║d
  • where the force is parallel to the displacement

Looking at the formula, we can see that the mass of the object does not affect the work done on it.

Substitute the force applied and the displacement of the object into the equation.

  • W = (87 N)(4.5 m)
  • W = 391.5 J  

The amount of work done on the object is 391.5 J in order to move it 4.5 meters with an applied force of 87 Newtons.

A 75kg man climbs the stairs to the fifth floor of a building. A total hieght of 16m. His potential energy has increased by
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

11760 joules

Explanation:

Given

Mass (m) = 75kg

Height (h) = 16m

Required

Determine the increment in potential energy (PE)

This is calculated as thus:

PE = mgh

Where g = 9.8m/s²

Substitute values for m, g and h.

P.E = 75 * 9.8 * 16

P.E = 11760 joules

The gnaphosid spider Drassodes cupreus has evolved a pair of lensless eyes for detecting polarized light. Each eye is sensitive
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

Part A

The intensity is  I = 618 W/m^2  

Part B

The intensity is  I_1= 81.884 W/m^2

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

       The intensity of the light detected by first eye is I = 700 W/m^2

Now at initial state according the question the light  ray is perpendicular to the eye so it means that it is at 90° the eye

Now the first question is to obtain the intensity the first eye (the first in this case is the one focused on the light  )would detect when the head is rotated by 20°  its previous orientation

This  is mathematically evaluated  as

                   I = I_i cos^2 ( 20^o)

                    I = 700\  cos^2 (20)

                    I = 618 W/m^2  

Now the second  question is to obtain the intensity the first eye (the first eye  in this case is the one that is not  focused on  the light  )would detect when the head is rotated by 20°  its previous orientation

Now in this case the angle between the eye and the light is 90-20 = 70°

           So

               I_1 = 700 \  cos^2 (70)

                   I_1= 81.884 W/m^2
