If you remember the formula for potential energy,
then this question is a piece-o-cake.
<em>Potential energy = (mass) x (<u>acceleration of gravity</u>) x (height) .</em>
-- The object's mass is the same everywhere.
-- You said that the height is the same both times.
-- How about the acceleration of gravity ?
Compared to gravity on Earth, it's only 16.5 percent as much on the Moon.
So naturally, from the formula, you'd expect the Potential Energy to be less
on the Moon.
Answer:
0.1 N
Explanation:
Considering the relationship between force,
spring constant and extension as defined by Hook's law
The force F=xk as from Hooke's law where F is the force of the spring, k is spring constant and x is extension or compression. Substituting 2 N/m for k and 5cm which is equivalent to 0.05 m for extention x then the force will be
F=2*0.05=0.1 N
Answer:
14.36 N
Explanation:
= Tension in string 1
= Tension in string 2
= mass of the bar = 2.7 kg
= weight of the bar
weight of the bar is given as
N
= mass of the bar = 1.35 kg
= weight of the monkey
weight of the monkey is given as
N
Using equilibrium of torque about left end
N
Using equilibrium of force in vertical direction
N
Answer:
It would point up.
Explanation:
Since I am at the earth's geographic north magnetic pole, the place on the earth's surface that compasses point toward, the north pole of the compass would also point towards the earth's geographic north magnetic pole, since all other compasses point toward there.
Since the compass is free to swivel in any direction, the compass would point up, since it is at the earth's geographic north magnetic pole, the place on the earth's surface that compasses point toward.
So, the compass would point up.
