Answer:

The potential energy of the bowling ball will be mgh

Explanation:

Let the mass of bowling ball =m

The height of building on which bowling ball sits=h

So,

The potential energy of the bowling ball =P.E.= mgh

<span>Pressure = force / area</span>

I assume that 350kg is the mass
Therefore,

350 x 9.8 (gravity) = 3430N

3430 / 1 = 3430Pa

A spherical shell contains three charged objects. The first and second objects have a charge of − 14.0 nC and 33.0 nC , respecti

matrenka [14]

Explanation:

Formula depicting relation between total flux and total charge Q is as follows.

$\phi = \frac{Q}{\epsilon_{o}}$ (Gauss's Law)

Putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

Q = $\phi \times \epsilon_{o}$

= $-953 Nm^{2}/C \times 8.854 \times 10^{-12}$

= $-8.4 \times 10^{-9} C$

= -8.4 nC

Therefore, when the unknown charge is q then,

-14.0 nC + 33.0 nC + q = -8.4 nC

q = -27.4 nC

Thus, we can conclude that charge on the third object is -27.4 nC.

A 70.0 kg astronaut is training for accelerations that he will experience upon reentry. He is placed in a centrifuge (r = 15.0 m

Levart [38]

Answer:

1.3823 rad/s

20.7345 m/s

28.66129935 m/s²

$a=2.92164g$

2006.29095 N radially outward

Explanation:

r = Radius = 15 m

m = Mass of person = 70 kg

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

Angular velocity is given by

$\omega=13.2\times \dfrac{2\pi}{60}\\\Rightarrow \omega=1.3823\ rad/s$

Angular velocity is 1.3823 rad/s

Linear velocity is given by

$v=r\omega\\\Rightarrow v=15\times 1.3823\\\Rightarrow v=20.7345\ m/s$

The linear velocity is 20.7345 m/s

Centripetal acceleration is given by

$a_c=r\omega^2\\\Rightarrow a_c=15\times 1.3823^2\\\Rightarrow a_c=28.66129935\ m/s^2$

The centripetal acceleration is 28.66129935 m/s²

Acceleration in terms of g

$\dfrac{a}{g}=\dfrac{28.66129935}{9.81}\\\Rightarrow a=2.92164g$

$a=2.92164g$

Centripetal force is given by

$F_c=ma_c\\\Rightarrow F_c=70\times 28.66129935\\\Rightarrow F_c=2006.29095\ N$

The centripetal force is 2006.29095 N radially outward

The torque will be experienced when the centrifuge is speeding up of slowing down i.e., when it is accelerating and decelerating.

A box is at rest on a ramp at an incline of 22°. The normal force on the box is 538 N.

fomenos

Answer: 580 N

Refer to attached figure.

The angle of inclination is 22 degrees

weight (gravitational force) acts downwards.

Normal force is a contact force which acts perpendicular to the point of contact.

The horizontal component (mg cos 22 ) balances the normal force and the vertical component balances the frictional force.

Gravitational force on an object = mg

The normal force $N= mg cos 22$

$\Rightarrow mg =\frac{N}{cos22}=\frac{538 N}{0.927}=580 N$
