An object's gravitational potential energy is NOT directly related to which of the following?

2 answers:

8 0

The correct answer is C. Its speed

Speed is related to the kinetic energy, not the potential one because kinetic requires the body to be in motion, that is, move at a certain speed. Potential energy has no motion.

Explanation :

The mechanical energy is the sum of the potential energy and the kinetic energy i.e.

ME = PE + KE

Kinetic energy is due to the motion of an object.

Potential energy is possessed by an object due to its height under the action of gravity.

Mathematically, it is written as :

PE =mgh

Where

m is the mass of the object

g is acceleration due to gravity

h is the height relative to reference level.

So, an object's gravitational potential energy is NOT related to its speed.

Hence, the correct option is (c) 'Its speed'.

Ask Your Teacher In the air over a particular region at an altitude of 500 m above the ground, the electric field is 120 N/C dir

strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

$1.475\times 10^{-13}\ C/m^3$

Explanation:

$\epsilon_0$ = Permittivity of free space = $8.85\times 10^{-12}\ F/m$

A = Area

h = Altitude = 600 m

Electric flux through the top would be

$-110A$ (negative as the electric field is going into the volume)

At the bottom

$120A$

Total flux through the volume

$\phi=120-110\\\Rightarrow \phi=10A$

Electric flux is given by

$\phi=\dfrac{q}{\epsilon_0}\\\Rightarrow q=\phi\epsilon_0\\\Rightarrow q=10A\epsilon_0$

Charge per volume is given by

$\rho=\dfrac{q}{v}\\\Rightarrow \rho=\dfrac{10A\epsilon_0}{Ah}\\\Rightarrow \rho=dfrac{10\epsilon_0}{h}\\\Rightarrow \rho=\dfrac{10\times 8.85\times 10^{-12}}{600}\\\Rightarrow \rho=1.475\times 10^{-13}\ C/m^3$

The volume charge density is $1.475\times 10^{-13}\ C/m^3$

What kind of surface is suitable for infared radiation

nlexa [21]

Answer:

Different surfaces

<h3>You can see that dull surfaces are good absorbers and emitters of infrared radiation. Shiny surfaces are poor absorbers and emitters (but they are good reflectors of infrared radiation</h3>

a vertical polarizing filter is used on the lens of a camera. Which of the following do not strike the lens?

you ride your bike for a distance of 30km. you travel ata a speed of 0.75km/minute.how many minutes does it take

mihalych1998 [28]

Distance for which the bike is ridden = 30 km
Speed at which the bike is driven = 0.75 km/minute
Let us assume the number of minutes taken to travel the distance of 30 km = x
Now we already know the formula of speed can be written as
Speed = Distance traveled/ Time taken
0.75 = 30/x
0.75x = 30
x = 30/0.75
= 40 minutes
So the time taken for riding a distance of 30 km will be 40 minutes. I hope this procedure is simple enough for you to understand.
