The formula for potential energy is PE=mgh
It can have that high of a potential energy if it's relative height what super high.

A fly has a mass of 1 gram at rest. how fast would it have to be traveling to have the mass of a large suv, which is about 3000
Zigmanuir [339]

We solve this using special relativity. Special relativity actually places the relativistic mass to be the rest mass factored by a constant "gamma". The gamma is equal to 1/sqrt (1 - (v/c)^2). <span>

We want a ratio of 3000000 to 1, or 3 million to 1. 

</span>

<span>Therefore:
3E6 = 1/sqrt (1 - (v/c)^2) 
1 - (v/c)^2 = (0.000000333)^2 
0.99999999999999 = (v/c)^2 
0.99999999999999 = v/c 
<span>v= 99.999999999999% of the speed of light ~ speed of light
<span>v = 3 x 10^8 m/s</span></span></span>

an elastic cord 61 cm long when a weight of 75N hangs from it, but 85cm when a weight of 210N hangs from it. what is the spring
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

560 N/m

Explanation:

F = kx

75 N = k (0.61 m − L)

210 N = k (0.85 m − L)

Divide the equations:

2.8 = (0.85 − L) / (0.61 − L)

2.8 (0.61 − L) = 0.85 − L

1.708 − 2.8L = 0.85 − L

0.858 = 1.8L

L = 0.477

Plug into either equation and find k.

75 = k (0.61 − 0.477)

k = 562.5

Rounded to two significant figures, k = 560 N/m.

Which of these discoveries contradict components of Dalton’s atomic theory? Check all of the boxes that apply. Atoms contain sma
EastWind [94]

Explanation:

According to Dalton's atomic theory, all the atoms are individual, all the atoms of the same element are identical in properties and mass, the compound is formed from two or more kinds of the atoms, all the matter is made up of small atoms and the chemical reaction is a rearrangement of the atoms.

The discoveries which contradicts the components of Dalton's atomic theory from the given discoveries are:

Nuclear reactions can change an atom of one element into an atom of another element.

Atoms of a given element can have different numbers of neutrons.

Atoms contain smaller particles: protons, neutrons, and electrons.

A mass weighing 4 lb stretches a spring 2 in. Suppose that the mass is given an additional 6-in displacement in the positive dir
givi [52]

Answer:

\frac{1}{8} y'' + 2y' + 24y=0

Explanation:

The standard form of the 2nd order differential equation governing the motion of mass-spring system is given by

my'' + \zeta y' + ky=0

Where m is the mass, ζ is the damping constant, and k is the spring constant.

The spring constant k can be found by

w - kL=0

mg - kL=0

4 - k\frac{1}{6}=0

k = 4\times 6 =24

The damping constant can be found by

F = -\zeta y'

6 = 3\zeta

\zeta = \frac{6}{3} = 2

Finally, the mass m can be found by

w = 4

mg=4

m = \frac{4}{g}

Where g is approximately 32 ft/s²

m = \frac{4}{32} = \frac{1}{8}

Therefore, the required differential equation is

my'' + \zeta y' + ky=0

\frac{1}{8} y'' + 2y' + 24y=0

The initial position is

y(0) = \frac{1}{2}

The initial velocity is

y'(0) = 0
