6. What is the GPE of a 500g box of chocolates 2 m above the ground?

1 answer:

4 0

GPE = mgh
m = mass=500g = 0.5kg
h= height = 2m
g = gravitational field strength, 9.8 near surface of earth
therefore GPE = 0.5*9.8*2 ( 0.5*2=1 so they cancel out), GPE = 9.8J

A mug rests on an inclined surface, as shown in (Figure 1) , θ=17∘.

Anna [14]

Refer to the figure shown below.

g = 9.8 m/s², the acceleration due to gravity.
W = mg, the weight of the mug.
θ = 17°, the angle of the ramp.

Let μ = the coefficient of static friction.

The force acting down the ramp is
F = W sin θ = W sin(17°) = 0.2924W N
The normal reaction is
N = W cosθ = W cos(17°) = 0.9563W N
The resistive force due to friction is
R = μN = 0.9563μW N

For static equilibrium,
μN = F
0.9563μW =0.2924W
μ = 0.3058

The frictional force is F = μN = 0.2924W
The minimum value of μ required to prevent the mug from sliding satisfies
the condition
R > F
0.9563μW > 0.2924W
μ > 002924/.9563 = 0.306

Answer:
The frictional force is 0.2924mg, where m = the mass of the mug.
The minimum coefficient of static friction is 0.306

We experience fictitious forces due to: a. Rotation of a reference frame b. Inertial reference frames c. Translational motion d.

lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

A fictional force (also called force of inertia, pseudo-force, or force of d'Alembert, 5), is a force that appears when describing a movement with respect to a non-inertial reference system, and that therefore it does not correspond to a genuine force in the context of the description of the movement that Newton's laws are enunciated for inertial reference systems.

The forces of inertia are, therefore, corrective terms to the real forces, which ensure that the formalism of Newton's laws can be applied unchanged to phenomena described with respect to a non-inertial reference system. The correct answer is A.

Assume n1 and n2 are two adjacent energy levels of an atom. The emission of radiation with the longest wavelength would occur fo

Anni [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

If the energy levels of n1 and n2 are high, the difference of their energy level will tend to zero thereby making the energy of the emitted photons very low.

According to the ph scale, which substance has the highest hydrogen ion concentration

Damm [24]

Answer:

C) stomach acid

Explanation:

D is wrong due to water have very little to hydrogen ion concentration. tomato juice has acids but it doesn't remove things like stomach acid. oven cleaner does remove some items, but not in a fast fashion like stomach acid. Stomach acid is extremely acidic and will melt about anything that comes in contact. burn is known for doing serious damage if it gets past the stomach lining.

What is the restoring force of a spring with a spring constant of 4a and a stretched displacement of 3b? A. –7 ab B. `-7 a/b ` C

algol13

Answer:

C. -12 ab

Explanation:

The restoring force on a spring is given by Hooke's law:

$F=-kx$

where

k is the spring constant

x is the stretched (or compressed) displacement of the spring

In this problem we have:

k = 4a

x = 3b

Substituting into the equation, we find:

$F=-(4a)(3b) = -12 ab$

And the negative sign means that the direction of the force (negative) is opposite to the direction of the displacement (positive).
