A 0.25 kg book falls off a 2 m shelf on to a 0.5 m chair. What was the change in GPE?

Physics

Snowcat [4.5K]2 years ago

The equation of GPE is mgH, where m is mass, g is gravitational acceleration, and H is the height.

If we're solving for the change in GPE, then:

∆U_{g} = mg∆H

<u>Input our given values for m and g:</u>

∆U_{g} = 0.25 * 9.80 * ∆H

<u>The book falls from 2 meters high to 0.5 meters high, so:</u>

∆U_{g} = 0.25 * 9.80 * (2.0 - 0.5)

∆U_{g} = 0.25 * 9.80 * 1.5

∆U_{g} = 3.675 (J)

<u>Adjust for significant figures:</u>

∆U_{g} = 3.7 (J)

The change in gravitational potential energy was 3.7 (J)

A 25.0 g marble sliding to the right at 20.0 cm/s overtakes and collides elastically with a 10.0 g marble moving in the same dir
ikadub [295]
In collision that are categorized as elastic, the total kinetic energy of the system is preserved such that,

   KE1  = KE2

The kinetic energy of the system before the collision is solved below.

  KE1 = (0.5)(25)(20)² + (0.5)(10g)(15)²
  KE1 = 6125 g cm²/s²

This value should also be equal to KE2, which can be calculated using the conditions after the collision.

KE2 = 6125 g cm²/s² = (0.5)(10)(22.1)² + (0.5)(25)(x²)

The value of x from the equation is 17.16 cm/s.

Hence, the answer is 17.16 cm/s.

Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

b) True Only if the finger is isolated from ground

c) True. The total charge does not change since the system is isolated

Explanation:

When the electroscope is touched with an acrylic rod, some charges are transferred from the electroscope to the rod, until the charge in both is equal.

In the case it know when the electroscope is touched with a finger, two things can happen.

- The body is isolated from the ground, the efective charge is redistributed between the two bodies. Case similar to insulating rod

- The body is connected to ground, the charge is transferred to the finger and from here to the ground until the total charge is transferred and the Earth and the final charge of the electroscope is zero.

Let's review the final statements

a) False, when part of the load is touched, it passes to the rod, so when it separates it does not return to the initial load

b) True Only if the finger is isolated from ground

c) True. The total load does not change since the system is isolated

d) False. The value of the load changes =, but its sign does not

Two long, parallel wires separated by 2.00 cm carry currents in opposite directions. The current in one wire is 1.75 A, and the
Natasha_Volkova [10]

The force per unit length between the two wires is 6.0\cdot 10^{-5} N/m

Explanation:

The magnitude of the force per unit length exerted between two current-carrying wires is given by

\frac{F}{L}=\frac{\mu_0 I_1 I_2}{2\pi r}

where

\mu_0 = 4\pi \cdot 10^{-7} Tm/A is the vacuum permeability

I_1, I_2 are the currents in the two wires

r is the separation between the two wires

For the wires in this problem, we have

I_1 = 1.75 A

I_2 = 3.45 A

r = 2.00 cm = 0.02 m

Substituting into the equation, we find

\frac{F}{L}=\frac{(4\pi \cdot 10^{-7})(1.75)(3.45)}{2\pi (0.02)}=6.0\cdot 10^{-5} N/m
