Potential Energy = mgh , 

mass = 1.4 kg, g ≈ 10 m/s², h = 0.8m

Potential Energy = mgh = 1.4 * 10 * 0.8 = 11.2 N

Potential Energy added = 11.2 N

To calculate Potential Energy you need to Multiply 1.4*.8*9.8.... 9.8 is the acceleration due to gravity an they expect you to know to add 9.8 when you calculate Potential Energy. So the correct answer is 10.976 but rounded up is 11.

Consider a star that is a sphere with a radius of 6.32 108 m and an average surface temperature of 5350 K. Determine the amount
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

The value is  \Delta s  = 8.537 *10^{25 } \ J/K

Explanation:

From the we are told that

   The radius of the sphere is r =  6.32 *10^{8} \  m

   The temperature is T_x  =  5350 \  K

    The average temperature of the rest of the universe is  T_r  =  2.73 \  K

Generally the change in entropy of the entire universe per second is mathematically represented as

         \Delta s  =  s_r - s_x

Here s_r is the entropy of the rest of the universe which is mathematically represented as

          s_r =  \frac{Q}{T_r}

Here Q is the quantity of heat radiated by the star which is mathematically represented as

           Q =  4 \pi *  r^2 *  \sigma * T^4_x

Here \sigma is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant with value  

           \sigma =  5.67 * 10^{-8 }W\cdot  m^{-2} \cdot  K^{-4}.

=>         Q =  4 \pi *  (6.32*10^{8})^2 *  5.67 * 10^{-8 }  * 5350 ^4

=>         Q =  2.332 *10^{26} \  J

So

      s_r =  \frac{2.332 *10^{26}}{2.73}

=>   s_r =  8.5415 *10^{25}\  J/K

Here s_x is the entropy of the rest of the universe which is mathematically represented as

      s_x =  \frac{Q}{T_x}

=>   s_x =  \frac{2.332 *10^{26} }{5350}

=>   s_x =  4.359 *10^{22} \  J/K

So

      \Delta s  = 8.5415 *10^{25}  - 4.359 *10^{22}

=>   \Delta s  = 8.537 *10^{25 } \ J/K

A bicyclist travels the first 800 m of a trip 1.4 minutes, the next 500 m in 1.6 minutes, and finishes up the final 1200 m in 2
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

 v_average = 500 m / min

Explanation:

Average speed is defined

         v = (x_{f} -x₀) / Δt

let's look in each section

section 1

the variation of the distance is 800 in a time of 1.4 min

         v₁ = 800 / 1.4

         v₁ = 571.4 m / min

section 2

distance interval 500 in a 1.6 min time interval

         v₂ = 500 / 1.6

         v₂ = 312.5 m / min

section 3

distance interval 1200 m in a time 2 min

         v₃ = 1200/2

         v₃ = 600 m / min

taking the speed of each section we can calculate the average speed

         

the distance traveled

        Δx = 800 + 500 + 1200

        Δx = 2500 m

the time spent

        Δt = 1.4 + 1.6+ 2

        Δt = 5 min

         v_average = Δx / Δt

         v_average = 2500/5

         v_average = 500 m / min

A 3.0-kg cart moving to the right with a speed of 1.0 m/s has a head-on collision with a 5.0-kg cart that is initially moving to
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

v = 0.8 m/s towards left

Explanation:

As we know that there is no external force on the system of two cart so total momentum of the system is conserved

so we will say

m_1v_{1i} + m_2v_{2i} = m_1v_{1f} + m_2v_{2f}

now plug in all data into the above equation

3(1) + 5(-2) = 3(-1) + 5 v

here we assumed that left direction of motion is negative while right direction is positive

so we can solve it for speed v now

3 - 10 = - 3 + 5 v

5 v = -4

v = -0.8 m/s

A uniform metre rule of weight 0.9 N is suspended horizontally by two vertical loops of thread A and B placed at 20cm and 30cm f
podryga [215]

Answer:

(a) 29 cm

(b) 43.5 cm

Explanation:

(a) when loop A is slack, there are three forces acting on the metre rule.

-0.9 N at 50 cm mark

T at 70 cm mark

-2 N at x

Taking the sum of the torques about B:

∑τ = Iα

(-0.9 N) (50 cm − 70 cm) + (-2 N) (x − 70 cm) = 0

18 Ncm − 2 N (x − 70 cm) = 0

2 N (x − 70 cm) = 18 Ncm

x − 70 cm = 9 cm

x = 79 cm

The distance from the center is |50 cm − 79 cm| = 29 cm.

(b) when loop B is slack, there are three forces acting on the metre rule.

-0.9 N at 50 cm mark

T at 20 cm mark

-2 N at x

Taking the sum of the torques about A:

∑τ = Iα

(-0.9 N) (50 cm − 20 cm) + (-2 N) (x − 20 cm) = 0

-27 Ncm − 2 N (x − 20 cm) = 0

2 N (x − 20 cm) = -27 Ncm

x − 20 cm = -13.5 cm

x = 6.5 cm

The distance from the center is |50 cm − 6.5 cm| = 43.5 cm

The moon lies roughly 384,000 km from earth and the sun lies 150,000,000 km away. if both have the same angular size, as seen fr
xxMikexx [17]
Moon diameter - 2,160 miles Sun diameter - 864,000 miles 
So, in terms of diameter the Sun is 400 times bigger then the Moon. If we divide 150,000,000 km by 384,000 km we get 390.625 almost the same number. 
The Sun and the Moon have sizes which vary a small amount as seen from Earth. 
The Sun appears largest about January 4th and smallest around July 4th.
