How are mass, distance and gpe related

Physics
1 answer:
Gelneren [198K]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

It is direct proportionality. The greater the mass, the greater is the gravitational potential energy. The equation for GPE is : GPE = mgh, where m is the mass, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and h is the height above the ground. As you can see GPE is directly proportional to mass, and height. KT.

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy is a function of both the mass of your system and the mass of the thing generating the gravity field around your system.

The relationship is linear, which means that if you multiply or divide one of the masses by some number but leave everything else the same, you multiply or divide the potential energy by the same number. A 3kg mass has three times the gravitation potential energy of a 1kg mass, if placed in the same location.

An emf of 28.0 mV is induced in a 501 turn coil when the current is changing at a rate of 12.0 A/s. What is the magnetic flux th
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

Φ = 5.589×10⁻⁵  Wb

Explanation:

The inductance of a coil is given as

L = e/(di/dt) ..................... Equation 1

Where L = inductance of the coil, e = induced e.m.f, di/dt = rate of change of current in the coil.

Also,

The inductance of each turn of the coil when a magnetic field is step up in the coil  is

L = NΦ/i ................. Equation 2

Where N = number of turns, Φ = magnetic field, i = current.

equating equation 1 and equation 2

e/(di/dt) = NΦ/i

making Φ the subject of the equation,

Φ = (e×i)/N.(di/dt) .................. Equation 3

Given: e = 28.0 mV = 0.028 V, N = 501 turns, di/dt = 12.0 A/s, i = 4.00 a

Substitute into equation 3,

Φ = (0.028×4)/(12×501)

Φ = 0.112/2004

Φ = 5.589×10⁻⁵ Weber

Φ = 5.589×10⁻⁵ Wb

How does the theory of plate tectonics explain these similarities of location?
Nookie1986 [14]
<span>he theory states that Earth's outermost layer, the lithosphere, is broken into 7 large, rigid pieces called plates: the African, North American, South American, Eurasian, Australian, Antarctic, and Pacific plates. Several minor plates also exist, including the Arabian, Nazca, and Philippines plates. The plates are all moving in different directions and at different speeds</span>

What is the mechanical advantage of the wheel and axle shown below?
BigorU [14]

The correct answer is A. 32.5

Mechanical advantage is the ratio of force that is input into a machine to the force output.

Mechanical advantage of a wheel and axle is calculated by dividing the radius of the wheel by that of the axle.

MA=R/r where R is the radius of the wheel and  r is the radius of the axle.

Substituting for the values in the question gives:

MA=26cm/0.8cm

    =32.5
