  • Mass=m=1kg
  • Height=h=2cm=0.02m
  • Acceleration due to gravity=g=10m/s^2

\\ \tt\hookrightarrow P.E=mgh

\\ \tt\hookrightarrow PE=1(10)(0.02)

\\ \tt\hookrightarrow PE=0.2J

<h2><u>POTENTIAL </u><u>ENERGY</u></h2>

<h3>Question:</h3>

A 1 kg mass is thrown to a height of 2cm. What is the potential energy?

<h3>Answer:</h3>
  • \color{hotpink}{  \bold{0.196  \:  \: J}}

— — — — — — — — — —

<h3>Formula:</h3>

— To calculate the potential energy, use formula

  • \underline{ \boxed{ \tt PE=mgh}}

where,

  • PE is the potential energy in joules (J)
  • m is the mass in kilograms (kg)
  • g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s²)
  • h is the height in meters (m)

- To calculate the potential energy, multiply all the givens.

<h3>Given that:</h3>
  • m (mass) = 1 kg
  • g = 9.8 m/s²
  • h (height) = 2 cm

— To get the P.E (potential energy), we need to convert 2 cm (centimeters) in m (meters) first.

All we know that 1 cm is equal to 0.01 meter. So, to get the value of 2 cm in meters, all we have to do is to multiply it by 0.01.

  • \tt \:  2  \times 0.01 =  \underline{ \boxed{ \purple{ \tt0.02}}}
<h3 /><h3>Solution:</h3>

— Substitute the givens in the formula, we get:

  • \tt \: PE = mgh \\

  • \tt   PE= (1 kg) × (9.8 m/s²) × (0.02 m) \\

  • \tt PE = \underline{ \boxed{ \blue{ \tt0.196  \: J }}} \\

Hence, the potential energy is <u>0.196 Joules</u>.

A 2.1 kg block is dropped from rest from a height of 5.5 m above the top of the spring. When the block is momentarily at rest, t
ella [17]

Answer:

The speed of the block is 8.2 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

mass of block, m = 2.1 kg

height above the top of the spring, h = 5.5 m

First, we determine the spring constant based on the principle of conservation of potential energy

¹/₂Kx² = mg(h +x)

¹/₂K(0.25)² = 2.1 x 9.8(5.5 +0.25)

0.03125K = 118.335

K = 118.335 / 0.03125

K = 3786.72 N/m

Total energy stored in the block at rest is only potential energy given as:

E = U = mgh

U = 2.1 x 9.8 x 5.5 = 113.19 J

Work done in compressing the spring to 15.0 cm:

W = ¹/₂Kx² = ¹/₂ (3786.72)(0.15)² = 42.6 J

This is equal to elastic potential energy stored in the spring,

Then, kinetic energy of the spring is given as:

K.E = E - W

K.E = 113.19 J - 42.6 J

K.E = 70.59 J

To determine the speed of the block due to this energy:

KE =  ¹/₂mv²

70.59 =  ¹/₂ x 2.1 x v²

70.59 = 1.05v²

v² = 70.59 / 1.05

v² = 67.229

v = √67.229

v = 8.2 m/s

What voltage battery would you need to send 2.5A of current through a light bulb of resistance 3.6 ohm
nadezda [96]
<h3><u>Given</u> :</h3>

Current flow light bulb = 2.5\sf{A}

Resistance of light bulb = 3.6Ω

<h3><u>To Find </u>:</h3>

We have to find voltage of battery.

<h3><u>Solution</u> :</h3>

➠ As per ohm's law, current flow through a conductor is directly proportional to the applied potential difference.

➝ V ∝ I

➝ <u>V = I × R</u>

Where, R is the resistance of conductor.

⇒ V = I × R

⇒ V = 2.5 × 3.6

⇒ <u>V = 9 volt</u>
