Answer:

It increased by a factor of 3.

Explanation:

The gravitational potential energy of an object is given by

U=mgh

where

m is the mass

g is the gravitational acceleration

h is the heigth of the object relative to some reference point (for instance, the ground)

As we see from the formula, the gravitational potential energy is directly proportional to the mass, m: therefore, if the mass of the cylinder is increased by a factor 3, then the gravitational potential energy will also increase by a factor 3.

Two charges, qA and qB, are separated by a distance, d, and exert a force, F, on each other. Analyze Coulomb's law and answer th
maria [59]

Answer: a. F doubled

b. F reduced by one-quarter i.e

1/4*(F)

c. 1/9*(F)

d. F increased by a factor of 4 i.e 4*F

e. F reduces 3/4*(F)

Explanation: Coulombs law states the force F of attraction/repulsion experience by two charges qA and qB is directly proportional to thier product and inversely proportional to the square of distance d between them. That is

F = k*(qA*qB)/d²

a. If qA is doubled therefore the force is doubled since they are directly proportional.

b. If qA and qB are half, that means thier new product would be qA/2)*qB/2 =qA*qB/4

Which means the product of charge is divided by 4 so the force would be divided by 4 too since they are directly proportional.

c. If d is tripped that is multiplied by 3. From the formula new d would be (3*d)²=9d² but force is inversely proportional to d² so instead of multiplying by 9 the force will be divided by 9

d. If d is cut into half that is divided by 2. The new d would be (d/2)²=d²/4. So d² is divided by 4 so the force would be multiplied by 4

e. If qA is tripled that is multiplied by 3. F would be multiplied by 3 also, if at the same time d is doubled (2*d)²= 4*d² . Force would be divided by 4 at same time. So we have,

3/4*F

Andru [333]

Answer:

James is correct here as the force of hand pushing upwards is always more than the force of hand pushing down

Explanation:

Here we know that one hand is pushing up at some distance midway while other hand is balancing the weight by applying a force downwards

so here we can say

Upwards force = downwards Force + weight of snow

while if we find the other force which is acting downwards

then for that force we can say that net torque must be balanced

so here we have

F_{down} L_1 = W_{snow} L_2

so here we have

F_{down} = \frac{L_2}{L_1} (W_{snow})

so here we can say that upward force by which we push up is always more than the downwards force

A certain humidifier operates by raising water to the boiling point and then evaporating it. Every minute 30 g of water at 20◦ C
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

The value of total energy needed per minute for the humidifier = 77.78 KJ

Explanation:

Total energy per minute the humidifier required = Energy required to heat water to boiling point) + Energy required to convert liquid water into vapor at the boiling point) ----- (1)

Specific heat of water = 4190 \frac{J}{kg k}

The heat of vaporization is =  2256 \frac{KJ}{kg}

Mass = 0.030 kg

Energy needed to heat water to boiling point =  m c ( T_{2} - T_{1} )

Energy needed to heat water to boiling point = 0.030 × 4.19 × (100 - 20)

Energy (E_{1}) = 10.08 KJ

Energy needed to convert liquid water into vapor at the boiling point

E_{2} = 0.030 × 2256 = 67.68 KJ

Thus the total energy needed E =  E_{1} + E_{2}

E = 10.08 + 67.68

E = 77.78 KJ

This is the value of total energy needed per minute for the humidifier.

While Bob is demonstrating the gravitational force on falling objects to his class, he drops an 1.0 lb bag of feathers from the
____ [38]

As per the question Bob drops the bag full with feathers from the top of the building.

The mass of the bag(m)= 1.0 lb

Let the air resistance is neglected.As the bag is under free fall ,hence the only force that acts on the bag is the force of gravity which is in vertical downward direction.

Here the acceleration produced on bag due to the free fall will be nothing else except the acceleration due to gravity i.e g =9.8 m/s^2


Here we are asked to calculate the distance travelled by the bag at the instant 1.5 s

Hence time t= 1.5 s

From equation of kinematics we know that -

                S=ut + 0.5at^2     [ here S is the distance travelled]

For motion under free fall initial velocity (u)=0.

Hence   S= 0×1.5+{0.5×(-9.8)×(1.5)^2}

           ⇒ -S =0-11.025 m

            ⇒ S= 11.025 m

                   =11 m

Here the negative sign is taken only due to the vertical downward motion of the body .we may take is positive depending on our frame of reference .


Hence the correct option is B.
