Gravitational energy is a form of potential energy because it is dependent on the mass of an object and needs to be calculated for the specific object.

A skateboarder who travels 60 meters in 30 seconds has a speed of
natulia [17]

2m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Distance traveled = 60m

time taken = 30seconds

Unknown:

Speed of skateboarder = ?

Solution:

Speed is the rate of change of distance with time taken. It is a scalar quantity that only revers magnitude;

    Speed = \frac{distance}{time}

    Speed = \frac{60}{30} = 2m/s

A uniform ladder 5.0 m long rests against a frictionless, vertical wall with its lower end 3.0 m from the wall. The ladder weigh
dem82 [27]

Answer:

Explanation:

a )

Reaction force of the ground

R = mg

= 160 N

Maximum friction force possible

= μ x R

= μ x 160

= .4 x 160

= 64 N .

b )

 160 N will act at middle point . 740N will act at distance of 3 / 5 m from the wall ,

Taking moment about top point of ladder

160 x 1.5 + 740 x 3/5 + f x 4 = 900 x 3

240 + 444 + 4f = 2700

f = 504 N

c )

Let x be the required distance.  

Taking moment about top point of ladder

160 x 1.5 + 740 x 3 x / 5 + .4 x 900 x 4  = 900 x 3  ( .4 x 900 is the maximum friction possible )

240 + 444 x + 1440  = 2700

x = 2.3  m

so man can go upto 2.3 at which maximum friction acts .

lilavasa [31]

Answer:

R=803k\Omega

Explanation:

We have the following information,

V_0 = 12V\\V=10V\\c= 1.25*10^{-6}F\\t=1.8s

We apply the equation for capacitor charging the voltage across it,

V=V_0 (1-e^{-t/x})\\e^{-t/x}=1-(\frac{V}{V_0})\\-\frac{t}{Rc}=ln(\frac{V}{V_0})\\R=-\frac{t}{ln(\frac{V}{V_0})*c}

Replacing values,

R=-\frac{1.8}{ln(10/12)*1.25*10^{-6}}

R=803k\Omega

1- What the relation ship between temperature and density of liquids?
defon

Answer:

Explanation:

1- Density increase as the temperature decreases. This is the reason why liquid water is more dense than solid water.

2- The only things that affect the period of a simple pendulum are its length and the acceleration due to gravity.

3- not really sure for that one...I will think about that.

4- same reason for number 3

A wire that is 0.86 meters long is moved perpendicularly through a constant magnetic field of strength 0.035 newtons/amp·meter a
GaryK [48]
The emf induced = B*l*v where B is the flux density, l the length of the conductor and v the velocity of the conductor. In the given case B = 0.035 N/amp.meter, l = 0.86 and v = 6 m/sec
emf = 0.035*0.86*6 = 0.1806 v ≈ 0.18 v
