The change in Potential energy of the cat is 176.4 J.

<h3 /><h3>Potential Energy:</h3>

This is the energy due to the position of a body. The S.I unit is Joules (J)

The formula for change in potential energy.

<h3 /><h3>Formula:</h3>

ΔP.E = mg(H-h).............. Equation 1

<h3>Where:</h3>

ΔP.E = Change in potential energy
m = mass of the cat
g = acceleration due to gravity
H = First height
h = second height.

From the question,

<h3>Given:</h3>

m = 15 kg
H = 2.5 m
h = 1.3 m
g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute these values into equation 1

ΔP.E = 15×9.8(2.5-1.3)
ΔP.E = 15×9.8×1.2
ΔP.E = 176.4 J.

Hence, The change in Potential energy of the cat is 176.4 J

Electric charge is distributed over the disk x2 + y2 ≤ 4 so that the charge density at (x, y) is rho(x, y) = 4x + 4y + 4x2 + 4y2

maw [93]

Answer:

Q=185.84C

Explanation:

We have to take into account the integral

$Q=\int \rho dV$

In this case we have a superficial density in coordinate system.

Hence, we have for R: x2 + y2 ≤ 4

$Q=\int_{-2}^2\int_{-\sqrt{4-x^2}}^{\sqrt{4-x^2}}\rho dydx$

but, for symmetry:

$Q=4\int_0^2\int_0^{\sqrt{4-x^2}}\rho dydx\\\\Q=4\int_0^2\int_0^{\sqrt{4-x^2}}(4x+4y+4x^2+4y^2) dydx\\\\Q=4\int_0^{2}[4x\sqrt{4-x^2}+2(4-x^2)+4x^2\sqrt{4-x^2}+\frac{4}{3}(4-x^2)^{3/2}]dx\\\\Q=4[46.46]=185.84C$

What is the difference between electric force and electricity

FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

Electrostatic force is force between two charges separated by distance in space while gravitational force is the force between two masses separated by a distance. Electrostatic force is either repulsive or attractive while gravitational force is always attractive

Which statement best describes how the temperature of the oceans surface water varies

Setler79 [48]

<span>heat capacity→ water has a high heat capacity, and salt water has an even higher one, so the temperatures of the oceans remain within a small range because As the heat rises you get more evaporation which actually cools the ocean down (Specific Heat of Water; Heat needed to break down hydrogen bonds)</span>

A thin beam of light of wavelength 50 μm (in the infrared portion of the em spectrum) goes through

Brut [27]

Solution :

Given :

Wavelength of the thin beam of light, λ = 50 μm

Distance of the screen from the slit, D = 3.00 m

Width of the fringe, Δy = ±8.24 mm

Therefore, width of the slit is given by :

$d=\frac{n \lambda D}{\Delta y}$
