The 5 kg red book is about to fall from a 2.1 m high bookshelf.

What is its PE?

Use g = 9.8 m/s2 for the acceleration due to gravity.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

w = d×f = 2.1 × ( 5×9.8)= 102.9J

Explanation:

because the question is asking for the energy PE

Answer 2

Answer:

[tex]\boxed {\boxed {\sf 102.9 \ J}}[/tex]

Explanation:

Potential energy is the energy an object possesses due to position. The formula is:

[tex]PE= m \times g \times h[/tex]

where m is the mass, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and h is the height.

We know the book is 5 kilograms and is on a 2.1 meter high bookshelf. Since this is on Earth, the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 meters per square second.

m= 5 kg g= 9.8 m/s²h= 2.1 m

Substitute the values into the formula.

[tex]PE= 5 \ kg \times 9.8 \ m/s^2 \times 2.1 \ m[/tex]

Multiply the numbers together.

[tex]PE= 49 kg *m/s^2 *2.1 \ m[/tex]

[tex]PE= 102.9 \ kg*m^2/s^2[/tex]

1 kilogram square meter per square second ( 1 kg*m²/s²) is equal to 1 Joule (J). So, our answ er of 102.9 kg*m²/s² is equal to 102.9 J

[tex]PE= 102.9 \ J[/tex]

The book has 102.9 Joules of gravitational potential energy.

what is the acceleration of each body of mass 5kg rests on a frictionless table and is connected to a cable that passes over a pulley onto a hanging body of mass 10kg​

Answers

Answer:

6.53 m/s²

Explanation:

Let m₁ = 5 kg and m₂ = 10 kg. The figure is attached and free body diagrams of the objects are also attached.

Both objects (m₁ and m₂) have the same magnitude of acceleration(a). Let g be the acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s². Hence:

T = m₁a               (1)

m₂g - T = m₂a    (2)

substituting T = m₁a in equation 2:

m₂g - m₁a = m₂a

m₂a + m₁a = m₂g

a(m₁ + m₂) = m₂g

a = m₂g / (m₁ + m₂)

a = (10 kg * 9.8 m/s²) / (10 kg + 5 kg) = 6.53 m/s²

Both objects have an acceleration of 6.53 m/s²

what are the advantages of having a roof with a lower thermal conductivity?
Which of the following two is correct

Less energy is needed to heat the house
The roof is a better insulator
The roof is less likely to leak
The rate of energy transfer by conduction is greater
Weather will have a greater effect on the temperature of the house

Answers

Answer:

less energy is needed to heat the house

the roof is a better insulator

The correct advantage of having a roof with a lower thermal conductivity is Less energy is needed to heat the house. The correct answer is option 1.

A roof with lower thermal conductivity acts as a better insulator, reducing heat transfer between the interior and exterior of the house. This means that during colder months, less heat escapes through the roof, requiring less energy to maintain a comfortable temperature indoors. Additionally, a roof with lower thermal conductivity will help regulate indoor temperatures more effectively, making it a better insulator against external weather conditions. It does not directly affect the likelihood of roof leaks or increase the rate of energy transfer by conduction. Option 1 is correct.

An object is moving in a straight line at constant speed. A resultant torce begins to act upon
the object.
State the ways in which the force may change the motion of the object

Answers

Answer: The velocity magnitude or the velocity direction chages.

Explanation:

According to Newton's second law of motion, the acceleration of a system moved in same direction and is also directly proportional to the external force which acts on it while inversely proportional to the mass. The formula is: a = F/m

Based on the question, since the object obtains acceleration, then it can be infered that there will be changes in the velocity magnitude or the direction as a result of the motion.

When two charged particles are moving toward each other, their velocities decrease until they eventually come to a
stop. What happens afterward? (1 point)
O They remain in the same place without moving.
O They accelerate toward each other.
O they bond and accelerate together.
O They accelerate in opposite directions.

Answers

Answer: 3rd option!
They bond and accelerate together

When two charged particles are moving toward each other, they bond and accelerate together.

To find the correct statement among all the options, we need to know about electromagnetic force.

What is electromagnetic force?The force between any two dynamic charged particles is the electromagnetic force. It's a combination of electric force and magnetic force. What does happen, when two charged particles move towards each other?When two charged particles move towards each other, they combine with each other dur to the electromagnetic force. Then they are travelled together as a single particle along the direction of more acceleration.

Thus, we can conclude that the option (C) is correct.

(1) Viewers of Star Trek hear of an antimatter drive on the Starship Enterprise. One possibility for such a futuristic energy source is to store antimatter charged particles in a vacuum chamber, circulating in a magnetic field, and then extract them as needed. Antimatter annihilates with normal matter, producing pure energy. What strength magnetic field is needed to hold antiprotons, moving at 5.0 x 10^7 m/s in a circular path 2.00 m in radius? Antiprotons have the same mass as protons but the opposite (negative) charge.
(2) Is this field strength obtainable with today’s technology or is it a futuristic possibility?

Answers

Solution :

The relationship between the strength of magnetic field and the radiusof a charged particle's path is obtained through Newton's second law, which is given by :

F = ma

F = qvB and [tex]$a=\frac{v^2}{r}$[/tex]

Substituting these values in the second law of Newton,

[tex]$qvB=\frac{mv^2}{r}$[/tex]

Now solving for B, we get:

[tex]$B = \frac{mv}{rq}$[/tex]

  [tex]$=\frac{(1.67 \times 10^{-27})(5 \times 10^{7})}{2\times 1.6 \times 10^{-19}}$[/tex]

 = 0.261 T

If you make multiple measurements of your height, you are likely to find that the results vary by nearly half an inch in either direction due to measurement error and actual variations in height. You are slightly shorter in the evening, after gravity has compressed and reshaped your spine over the course of a day. One measurement of a man's height is 6 feet and 1 inch. Express his height in meters, using the appropriate number of significant figures.

Answers

Answer:

H = 1.85 m

Explanation:

First, we will convert the height completely into inches. 1 feet contains 12 inches in it. Therefore:

H = (6 feet)(12 inch/1 feet) + 1 inch

H = 73 inches

Now, we will convert this height from inches to meters. 1 inch is equivalent to 0.0254 m. Therefore:

H = (73 inches)(0.0254 m/1 inch)

H = 1.85 m

Which situation is contrary to Newton’s first law of motion?

An object at rest begins to move when an external force is applied.
A moving object has a constant velocity under the influence of balanced forces.
An object at rest stays at rest as long as unbalanced forces act on it.
A moving object slows down when an external force is applied.

Answers

Answer:

An object at rest stays at rest as long as unbalanced forces act on it.

Explanation:

Inertia can be defined as the tendency of an object or a body to continue in its state of motion or remain at rest unless acted upon by an external force.

In physics, Sir Isaac Newton's First Law of Motion is known as Law of Inertia and it states that, an object or a physical body in motion will continue in its state of motion at continuous velocity (the same speed and direction) or, if at rest, will remain at rest unless acted upon by an external force.

The inertia of a physical object such as a truck is greatly dependent or influenced by its mass; the higher the quantity of matter in a truck, the greater will be its tendency to continuously remain at rest.

Hence, the situation which is contrary to Newton’s first law of motion is that, an object at rest stays at rest as long as unbalanced forces act on it.

According to Newton’s first law of motion, an object at rest stays at rest as long as unbalanced forces do not act on it.

At a playground a student runs at a speed of 5 m/s and jump onto a circular disk of radius 3/2 m that is free to rotate around a fixed vertical axle. The student jumps on the disk several times, and the angular speed after the student lands is measured each time. Which of the following angular speeds is not a reasonable value for the measured angular speed?

a. 0.5 rad/s
b. 1 rad/s
c. 2 rad/s
d. 3 rad/s
e. 4 rad/s

Answers

Answer:

e. 4 rad/s

Explanation:

The maximum amount of angular velocity that can be reached by the disk can be found using the following formula:

[tex]v = r\omega\\\\\omega = \frac{v}{r}[/tex]

where,

ω = maximum angular velocity = ?

v = linear speed = 5 m/s

r = radius of disc = 1.5 m

Therefore,

[tex]\omega = \frac{5\ m/s}{1.5\ m} \\\\\omega = 3.33\ rad/s[/tex]

Therefore, the angular speed can be lower than this value due to frictional losses, but it can not exceed this value in the given linear speed limit of 5 m/s.

Hence, the correct option is:

e. 4 rad/s

b. A human would win a very short race with a gazelle. The best time for a 30 m sprint for a human runner is 3.6 s. How much time would the gazelle take for a 30 m race?

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer will be:

(a) 27.3 m/s

(b) 3.8 s

Explanation:

According to the question:

Acceleration,

[tex]a= 4.2 \ m/s^2[/tex]

Time,

[tex]t = 6.5 \ s[/tex]

(a)

The gazelles top speed will be:

⇒  [tex]V_{max} = at[/tex]

             [tex]=4.2\times 6.5[/tex]

             [tex]=27.3 \ m/s[/tex]

or,

             [tex]= 27 \ m/s[/tex]

(b)

As we know,

s = 30 m

Now,

⇒  [tex]s = \frac{1}{2} at^2[/tex]

or,

⇒  [tex]t=\sqrt{\frac{2s}{a} }[/tex]

On putting the given values, we get

       [tex]=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 30}{4.2} }[/tex]

       [tex]=\sqrt{\frac{60}{4.2} }[/tex]

       [tex]=3.78 \ s[/tex]

or,

       [tex]=3.8 \ s[/tex]

A fisherman notices that his boat is moving up and down periodically without any horizontal motion, owing to waves on the surface of the water. It takes a time of 2.10 s for the boat to travel from its highest point to its lowest, a total distance of 0.600 m . The fisherman sees that the wave crests are spaced a horizontal distance of 6.50 m apart.

Required:
a. How fast are the waves traveling?
b. What is the amplitude of each wave?
c. If the total vertical distance traveled by the boat were 0.30 m but the other data remained the same, how would the answers to parts (a) and (b) be affected?

Answers

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

a) We know that;

v = λf

Where;

λ = wavelength of the wave

f = frequency of the wave

v = velocity of the wave

So;

T = 2 * 2.10 s = 4.2 s

Hence f = 1/4.2 s

f = 0.24 Hz

The wavelength =  6.5 m

Hence;

v = 6.5 m * 0.24 Hz

v = 1.56 m/s

b)The amplitude of the wave is;

A =  0.600 m/2 = 0.300 m

c) Since the wave speed does not depend on the amplitude of the wave then the answer in (a) above remains the same

Where d = 0.30 m

A = 0.30 m/2 = 0.15 m
