Name a situation when potential energy is useful

1 answer:

3 0

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 wooden block has a mass of 1.2 kg, a specific heat of 710, and is at a temperature of 25*C. what is the block's final temperat

mash [69]

The final temperature of the block is $27.5^{\circ} C$

Explanation:

The amount of thermal energy Q supplied to a substance is related to the increase in temperature of the substance, $\Delta T$ , according to the equation

$Q=mC_s \Delta T$

where:

m is the mass of the substance

$C_s$ is the specific heat capacity of the substance

In this problem, we have:

m = 1.2 kg is the mass of the block

$Q = 2,130 J$ is the amount of energy supplied to the block

$C_s = 710 J/kg^{\circ}C$ is the specific heat capacity of the block

Solving for $\Delta T$ , we find the increase in temperature:

$\Delta T = \frac{Q}{m C_s}=\frac{2130}{(1.2)(710)}=2.5^{\circ}C$

And since the initial temperature was

$T_i = 25^{\circ}C$

The final temperature will be

$T_f = T_i + \Delta T = 25+2.5=27.5^{\circ} C$

A catapult can project a projectile at a speed as high as 37.0 m/s. (a) if air resistance can be ignored, how high (in m) would

motikmotik

Then the maximum height of the catapult will be 69.78 meters.

<h3>What is kinematics?</h3>

The study of motion without considering the mass and the cause of the motion. The equation of motion is given below.

v = u + at

s = ut + (1/2)at²

v² = u² + 2as

A catapult can project a projectile at a speed as high as 37.0 m/s. (a) if air resistance can be ignored.

a = - 9.81 m/s²

u = 37 m/s

v = 0

s = h

Then the maximum height of the catapult will be given by the third equation.

v² = u² + 2as

0² = 37² - 2 × 9.81 × h

h = 37² / (2 × 9.81)

h = 69.78 meters

Then the maximum height of the catapult will be 69.78 meters.

A 500 N weight is hung at the middle of a rope attached to two buildings at the same level. If the breaks in the tension exceed

dedylja [7]

Answer:

The correct choice is 8o.

Explanation:

The given weight is hanging at the mid point of the rope and the buildings are at the same level, Obtain the given equation by equating the vertical components of force,

2Tsin(φ)=W

where φ is the angle made by rope with the horizontal.

Given T=1800 N and W=500 N, the value of φ is calculated as follows,

2*1800*sin(φ)=500

sin(φ)=0.1388

φ=7.90

φ≈8o
