Hi there!

Recall the equation for gravitational potential energy:
$GPE = U = mgh$

m = mass (kg)
g = acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s²)

h = height (m)

We are given the GPE, so we can solve for mass:
$86000 = m * 2000 * 9.8$

Solve for m:
$m = \frac{86000}{2000(9.8)} = \boxed{4.39 kg}$

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.

What is the frequency of an ocean wave that is traveling at a speed of 45 m/s if it has a wavelength of 3 meters.

vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

Frequency, f = 15 Hz

Explanation:

We have,

Speed of an ocean wave is 45 m/s

Wavelength of a wave is 3 m

It is required to find the frequency of an ocean wave.

Speed of a wave, $v=f\lambda$ , f = frequency of ocean wave

$f=\dfrac{v}{\lambda}\\\\f=\dfrac{45}{3}\\\\f=15\ Hz$

So, the frequency of an ocean wave is 15 Hz.

astraxan [27]

Answer:

x = 0.0734 m = 7.34 cm

Explanation:

First we shall calculate the area of the piston:

$Area = \pi radius^2\\Area = \pi (0.028\ m)^2\\Area = 0.00246\ m^2$

Now, we will calculate the force on the piston due to atmospheric pressure:

$Atmospheric\ Pressure = \frac{Force}{Area}\\\\Force = (Atmospheric\ Pressure)(Area)\\Force = (101325\ N/m^2)(0.00246\ m^2) \\Force = F = 249.56\ N$

Now, for the compression of the spring we will use Hooke's Law as follows:

$F = kx\\$

where,

k = spring constant = 3400 N/m

x = compression = ?

Therefore,

x = 0.0734 m = 7.34 cm
