Answer:

1225J

Explanation:

The Gravitational potential energy (PEG) gained by a mass lifted above the ground is given by

where

m is the mass

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height at which the object has been lifted

In this problem, we have

m = 250 kg

h = 0.5 m

So, the PE of the object is

Answer:

1225 J

Explanation:

The Gravitational potential energy (PEG) gained by a mass lifted above the ground is given by

$PE=mgh$

where

m is the mass

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height at which the object has been lifted

In this problem, we have

m = 250 kg

h = 0.5 m

So, the PE of the object is

$PE=(250 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)(0.5 m)=1225 J$

A certain rigid aluminum container contains a liquid at a gauge pressure of P0 = 2.02 × 105 Pa at sea level where the atmospheri

MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

$dz=19217687.07\ m$

Explanation:

Given:

initial gauge pressure in the container, $P_0=2.02\times 10^{5}\ Pa$

atmospheric pressure at sea level, $P_a=1.01\times 10^5\ Pa$

initial volume, $V_0=4.4\times 10^{-4}\ m^3$

maximum pressure difference bearable by the container, $dP_{max}=2.26\times 10^{5}\ Pa$

density of the air, $\rho_a=1.2\ kg.m^{-3}$

density of sea water, $\rho_s=1.2\ kg.m^{-3}$

<u>The relation between the change in pressure with height is given as:</u>

$\frac{dP_{max}}{dz} =\rho_a.g_n$

where:

dz = height in the atmosphere

$g_n$ = standard value of gravity

<em>Now putting the respective values:</em>

$\frac{2.26\times 10^{5}}{dz} =1.2\times 9.8$

$dz=19217.687\ km$

$dz=19217687.07\ m$

Is the maximum height above the ground that the container can be lifted before bursting. (<em>Since the density of air and the density of sea water are assumed to be constant.</em>)

Two coherent sources of radio waves, A and B, are 5.00 meters apart. Each source emits waves with wavelength 6.00 meters. Consid

Korolek [52]

Answer:

a

$z= 2.5 \ m$

b

$z = (1 \ m , 4 \ m )$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Their distance apart is $d = 5.00 \ m$

The wavelength of each source wave $\lambda = 6.0 \ m$

Let the distance from source A where the construct interference occurred be z

Generally the path difference for constructive interference is

$z - (d-z) = m \lambda$

Now given that we are considering just the straight line (i.e points along the line connecting the two sources ) then the order of the maxima m = 0

so

$z - (5-z) = 0$

=> $2 z - 5 = 0$

=> $z= 2.5 \ m$

Generally the path difference for destructive interference is

$|z-(d-z)| = (2m + 1)\frac{\lambda}{2}$

=> $|2z - d |= (0 + 1)\frac{\lambda}{2}$

=> $|2z - d| =\frac{\lambda}{2}$

substituting values

$|2z - 5| =\frac{6}{2}$

=> $z = \frac{5 \pm 3}{2}$

So

$z = \frac{5 + 3}{2}$

$z = 4\ m$

and

$z = \frac{ 5 -3 }{2}$

=> $z = 1 \ m$

=> $z = (1 \ m , 4 \ m )$

What’s the equation that links with total input, efficiency, energy and useful output energy transfer

weqwewe [10]

Efficiency. The ratio of energy which was transferred to a useful form compared to the total energy initially supplied is called the efficiency of the device. Efficiencies can be written as decimals like 0.33 or percentages 33%. To convert a efficiency expressed as a decimal to a percentage you need to multiply by 100.

An astronaut on a small planet wishes to measure the local value of g by timing pulses traveling down a wire which has a large o

8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

The gplanet is 0.193 m/s^2

Explanation:

The speed of the pulse is:

$v=\frac{lengthofthewipe}{traveltime} =\frac{1.6}{0.0656} =15.24m/s$

$v=\sqrt{\frac{MgL}{m} } \\v^{2} =\frac{MgL}{m} \\g=\frac{mv^{2} }{ML}$

where

m=mass of the wire=4 g= 4x10^-3 kg

M=mass of the object= 3 kg

Replacing values:

$g=\frac{4x10^{-3}*15.24^{2} }{3*1.6} =0.193 m/s^{2}$
