Answer:

If we’re talking about objects on the Earth, the gravitational potential energy is given by:

Explanation:

PEg=mgh

so the energy is proportional to the mass ( m ), but also to the strength of the gravitational field ( g ), and the height ( h ) to which the mass is lifted.

Arigid body must rotate about an axis in order for it to have angular momentum about that axis. True False
kompoz [17]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Let's consider the definition of the angular momentum,

\vec{L} = I \vec{\omega}

where I = \int\limits_m r^2 dm = \lim_{n \to \infty} \sum\limits_{i=1}^n m_i r_i^2 is the moment of inertia for a rigid body. Now, this moment of inertia could change if we change the axis of rotation, because "r" is defined as the distance between the puntual mass and the nearest point on the axis of rotation, but still it's going to have some value. On the other hand,

\vec{\omega} = \frac{\vec{r} \times \vec{v}}{r^2} so \vec{\omega} \neq 0 unless \vec{r} ║  \vec{v}.

In conclusion, a rigid body could rotate about certain axis, generating an angular momentum, but if you choose another axis, there could be some parts of the rigid body rotating around the new axis, especially if there is a projection of the old axis in the new one.

If chilled coke and hot tea are <br> kept together tea cools down but ko gets warm why<br>​
olga55 [171]
Tea gets cool beacuse of heat tranfer through convenction
Heat transfers from a area of hot region to cold.
The tea is hot in this case, due to taht factor the heat will move towards teh cooler region which is coke and will make the coke warm

A vehicle reaches a speed of 7.5 m/s over 15 seconds. What is its acceleration if it
denpristay [2]

acceleration = \frac{velocity}{time}  = \frac{7.5}{15}  = 0.5ms^-^2

So the answer is option b.

A body is projected from the ground at an angle of 30° with the horizontal at an initial speed of 128 ft/s. Ignoring air frictio
Elanso [62]

Answer

given,

v = 128 ft/s

angle made with horizontal = 30°

now,

horizontal component of velocity

vx = v cos θ = 128 x cos 30° = 110.85 ft/s

vertical component of velocity

vy = v sin θ = 128 x sin 30° = 64 m/s

time taken to strike the ground

using equation of motion

v = u + at

0 =-64 -32 x t

t = 2 s

total time of flight is equal to

T = 2 t = 2 x 2 = 4 s

b) maximum height

using equation of motion

 v² = u² + 2 a h

 0 = 64² - 2 x 32 x h

 64 h = 64²

  h = 64 ft

c) range

R = v_x × time of flight

R = 110.85 × 4

R = 443.4 ft
