Apart from height above ground, what does the amount of gravitational potential energy that an object has on earth depend on?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Mass

Explanation: the more mass the more GPE

Answer 2

Apart from the height above the ground, the object's mass on which the amount of gravitational potential depends.

What is gravitational potential energy?

The law of gravity gives rise to the generic term for gravitational potential energy, which is equal to the effort made to defy gravity in order to move a mass to a specific location in space. It makes logical to choose the gravitational potential energy zero at an infinite distance away because, due to the inverse square nature of the gravity force, the force approaches zero for huge distances. Since gravity performs positive work as a mass approaches a planet, the gravitational potential energy is then negative. When a mass approaches a huge body, it enters a "bound state," where it is trapped until an external source of energy enables it to break free.

There is gravitational potential energy in any object raised above the earth ( or GPE). The mass and height of an object above the surface of the Earth determine how much gravitational potential energy it has.

Find the average velocity if the takeoff velocity of an airplane on a runway is 300 km/hr with an acceleration of 1 m/s2 . A) 30 sec B) 41.7 sec C) 72.2 sec D) 83.33 sec

Answers

Answer:

83.33s

Explanation:

velocity=300km/hr ,acceleration =1m/s2

But before we can make this calculation,we have to make sure that both the acceleration and velocity are in the same units.So I decided to Chang the velocity to m/s.

Converting 300km/hr into m/s;

Changing 300km into m=300000m

Changing 1hr into secs=3600sec

Velocity in m/s=83.33m/s

But Time =velocity/acceleration

=83.33/1

=83.33sec

You have to decide what you want.  Your question says "Find the average velocity", but the choices you listed are all times, not velocities.

(300 km/hr) x (1 hr / 3600 sec) = 83.33 meters/sec

-- If the airplane starts from rest and accelerates uniformly at 1 m/s², it'll take 83.33 seconds to reach takeoff speed.

-- If it starts from rest and accelerates uniformly to 83.33 m/s, then its average speed is 41.67 m/s no matter what its acceleration may be.

The surface area of foot of Bimaba is 150cm? If she weighs 50kg,
how much pressure does she exert on the ground, as she stands on
her one foot? (32666.67 pa)​

Answers

Answer:

Pressure, P = 32666.66 Pa

Explanation:

It is given that,

Surface area of foot of Bimaba is 150 cm² or 0.015 m².

Her weight is 50 kg

We need to find the pressure does she exert on the ground, as she stands on  her one foot. The force acting per unit area is called pressure. It can be given by :

[tex]P=\dfrac{F}{A}\\\\P=\dfrac{mg}{A}\\\\P=\dfrac{50\times 9.8}{0.015}\\\\P=32666.66\ Pa[/tex]

So, the pressure is 32666.66 Pa.

A boy throws a baseball onto a roof and it rolls back down and off the roof with a speed of 3.80 m/s. If the roof is pitched at 38.0° below the horizon and the roof edge is 3.30 m above the ground, find the time the baseball spends in the air and the horizontal distance from the roof edge to the point where the baseball lands on the ground. HINT

Answers

Answer:

a) The baseball spends 0.674 seconds in the air

b) The horizontal distance from the roof edge to the point where the baseball lands on the ground = 2.02 m

Explanation:

The ball's initial speed, u = 3.8 m/s

θ = 38°

The edge of the roof has a height, H = 3.30 m

The vertical motion of the baseball can be given by the equation:

[tex]H = U_{y} t + 0.5a_{y} t^{2}[/tex].........(1)

Vertical acceleration of the baseball, [tex]a_y = 9.8 m/s^2[/tex]

The vertical component of the initial speed can be calculated by:

[tex]U_y = Usin \theta\\U_y = 3.8 sin 38\\U_y = 2.34 m/s[/tex]

Substituting the appropriate values into equation (1):

[tex]3.8 = 2.34 t + 0.5(9.8)} t^{2}\\4.9t^2 + 2.34t - 3.8 = 0[/tex]

Solving for t in the quadratic equation above:

t = 0.674 s

To calculate the horizontal distance, S, use the formula below:

[tex]S = U_xt + 0.5a_xt^2[/tex]

Horizontal acceleration of the baseball, [tex]a_x = 0 m/s^2[/tex]

The horizontal component of the initial speed can be calculated as:

[tex]U_x = Ucos \theta\\U_x = 3.8 cos 38\\ U_x = 2.99 m/s[/tex]

S = 2.99(0.674) + 0.5(0)

S = 2.02 m

A diverging lens of focal length 18.0m is used to view a shark that is 90.0m away from the lens. If the image formed is 1.0m long, calculate the: (i) image distance; (ii) length of the shark.

Answers

Answer:

i. + 22.5 m ii. 4.0 m

Explanation:

i. Image distance

Using the lens formula

1/u + 1/v = 1/f where f = focal length = + 18.0 m, u = object distance = distance of shark away from lens = + 90.0 m and v = image distance from lens = unknown

So, we find v

1/v = 1/f - 1/u

= 1/+18 - 1/+90

= (5 - 1)/90

= 4/90

v = 90/4

= + 22.5 m

So the image is real and formed 22.5 m away on the other side of the lens.

ii Length of Shark

Using the magnification formula, m = image height/object height = image distance/object distance. image height = 1.0 m where object height = length of shark.

m = image distance/object distance

= v/u

= +22.5/+90

= 0.25

0.25 = image height/object height

So,

object height = image height/0.25

= 1.0 m/0.25

= 4.0 m

So, the length of the shark is 4.0 m

A daredevil is attempting to jump his motorcycle over a line of buses parked end to end by driving up a 30 degree ramp at a speed of 43m/s. How many buses can he clear if the top of the takeoff ramp is at the same height as the bus tops and the buses are 20.0m long?

Answers

Answer:

No. of Cars = 8

Explanation:

In order to find the no. of buses that can be cleared by the daredevil, we first need to find the distance he will cover during its motion. Since, the motion is projectile, therefore, the horizontal distance will be equal to range of the projectile:

R = V² Sin 2θ/g

where,

R = Range = ?

V = launch speed = 43 m/s

θ = angle with horizontal = 30°

g = 9.8 m/s²

Therefore,

R = (43 m/s)² Sin 60°/(9.8 m/s²)

R = 163.4 m

Now, for the number of cars cleared, we use the following formula:

No. of Cars = R/Length of single bus

No. of Cars = 163.4 m/20 m

No. of Cars = 8.17

No. of Cars = 8

b. If she pulls her arms into 0.15 m, what is her new linear speed?

I'm really confused ab the explanations behind this. help, please

Answers

Answer:

a.) L = 2.64 kgm^2/s

b.) V = 4.4 m/s

Explanation: Jessica stretches her arms out 0.60 m from the center of her body. This will be considered as radius.

So,

Radius r = 0.6 m

Mass M = 2 kg

Velocity V = 1.1 m/s

Angular momentum L can be expressed as;

L = MVr

Substitute all the parameters into the formula

L = 2 × 1.1 × 0.6 = 1.32kgm^2s^-1

the combined angular momentum of the masses will be 2 × 1.32 = 2.64 kgm^2s-1

b. If she pulls her arms into 0.15 m,

New radius = 0.15 m

Using the same formula again

L = 2( MVr)

2.64 = 2( 2 × V × 0.15 )

1.32 = 0.3 V

V = 1.32/0.3

V = 4.4 m/s

Her new linear speed will be 4.4 m/s

Answers

Answer:

Check Explanation

The fission reactions include

239 Pu + n → Ce + Kr + 2n

And

295 Am + in → 154 La + 95 Sr + 3 n

Explanation:

A fission reaction is a radioactive reaction in which an atom with a heavy nuclei splits into atoms with smaller or lighter nuclei usually brought about by the attack of a fundamental particle and accompanied by the release of some fundamental particles (neutrons mostly) and energy.

Although, the reactions to be examined aren't totally clear, we can still guess which element is which and know which of the reactions has a heavier nuclei splitting into smaller ones.

1) H + H → He + 2n

Two hydrogen atoms combine to give an helium atom and release neutrons too, showing that here, smaller molecules combine to form a bigger one. Hence, this isn't a fission reaction, rather, it's a fusion reaction.

2) 239 Pu + n → Ce + Kr + 2n

Here, Pu (Plutonium, atomic mass 239), a heavy nuclei that splits into smaller nuclei, Ce (Cerium, atomic mass 140) and Kr (Krypton, atomic mass 84) together with some neutrons to fit the definition of a fission reaction. Hence, this reaction is a fission reaction.

3) 295 Am + n → 154 La + 95 Sr + 3 n

Here, Pu (Americium, atomic mass 295), a heavy nuclei that splits into smaller nuclei, Ce (Lamthanium, atomic mass 154) and Sr (Strontium, atomic mass 95) together with some neutrons to fit the definition of a fission reaction. Hence, this reaction is a fission reaction.

4) 13C + H → 14N

Carbon 13 combines with a hydrogen element to mutate and give nitrogen-14, a heavier nuclei, showing all signs of a nuclear fission and not fission.

A uniform metal tube of length 5m and mass 9kg is suspended by two vertical wires attached at 50cm and 150cm respectively from the ends of the tube. Find the tension in each wire​

Answers

Answer:

force (tension) of 29.4 N (upward)  in 100 cm

force (tension) of 58.4 N (upward)  in 200 cm

Explanation:

Given:

Length of tube = 5 m (500 cm)

Mass of tube = 9

Suspended vertically from 150 cm and 50 cm.

Computation:

Force = Mass × gravity acceleration.

Force = 9.8 x 9

Force = 88.2 N

So,

Upward forces = Downward forces

D1 = 150 - 50 = 100 cm

D2 = 150 + 50 = 200 cm

And F1 = F2

F1 x D1 = F2 x D2

F1 x 100 = F2 x 200

F = 2F

Total force = Upward forces + Downward forces

3F = 88.2

F = 29.4 and 2F = 58.8 N

force (tension) of 29.4 N (upward)  in 100 cm

force (tension) of 58.4 N (upward)  in 200 cm

encounters an air resistance force of 540 Newtons. The acceleration of the skydiver at
this instant is
m/s2

Answers

Answer:

Approximately [tex]2.31\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}[/tex] (assuming that the acceleration due to gravity is[tex]g = 9.81\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}[/tex].)

Explanation:

Assuming that [tex]g = 9.81\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}[/tex] the weight on this 72-kg skydiver would be [tex]W = m \cdot g = 72 \; \rm kg \times 9.81\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2} = 706.32\; \rm N[/tex] (points downwards.)

Air resistance is supposed to act in the opposite direction of the motion. Since this skydiver is moving downwards, the air resistance on the skydiver would point upwards.

Therefore, the net force on this skydiver should be the difference between the weight and the air resistance on the skydiver:

[tex]\begin{aligned}F(\text{net force}) &= W - F(\text{air resistance})\\ &= 706.32\; \rm N - 540\; \rm N =166.32\; \rm N \end{aligned}[/tex].

Apply Newton's Second Law of motion to find the acceleration of this skydiver:

[tex]\begin{aligned}a &= \frac{F(\text{net force})}{m} \\ &= \frac{166.32\; \rm N}{72\; \rm kg} = 2.31\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2} \end{aligned}[/tex].
