The energy an object has because of its position is called _____

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

Gravitational potential energy

Explanation:

The gravitational potential energy is the energy that an object has because of its positive with respect to a certain reference level (generally assumed to be the ground level).

The magnitude of the gravitational potential energy is given by

U=mgh

where

m is the mass of the object

g is the strenght of the gravitational field

h is the height of the object with respect to the reference level

From the formula, we see that the higher the object is, the larger its gravitational potential energy is.

A 1000-kg barge is being towed by means of two horizontal cables. One cable is pulling with a force of 80.0 N in a direction 30.0° west of north. In what direction should the second cable pull so that the barge will accelerate northward, if the force exerted by the cable is 120 N?

Answers

Answer:

θ = 19.47°

Explanation:

given,

mass of the barge = 1000 kg

force applied to pull = 80 N

direction = 30° west to north

force exerted by the cable = 120 N

direction = ?

first cable is pulling

in north direction = 80 cos ∅

                             = 80 cos 30°

                             = 69.28 N

in west direction = 80 sin ∅

                             = 80 sin 30°

                             = 40 N

the other cable will pull in the opposite direction of west

now,

120 sin \theta = 40

sin \theta = (40)/(120)

\theta = sin^(-1){(1)/(3)}

θ = 19.47°

the direction of the cable will be equal to θ = 19.47°

The power expended when a 10 N barbell is raised 2. 0 m in 2s is

Answers


Work done = (force) x (distance)
                   = (10 N)  x  (2  m)         =     20 joules . 
                    
 Power = (work done) / (time to do the work)
             =          (20 J)  /  (2 sec)
             =            10 joules/sec        =      10 watts .

Atoms have no electric charge because theyA. Have an equal number of charged and non charged particles.

B. Have neutrons in their nuclei.

C. Have an equal number of electrons and protons

D. Have an equal number of neutrons and protons

Answers

Atoms have no electric charge because they have an equal number of electrons and protons.

Explanation:

  • Atom is the smallest unit of matter.
  • It is comprised of three subatomic particles:protons, electrons, and neutrons.
  • Electrons are found outside the nucleus of an atom and are negatively charged.
  • Protons are found inside the nucleus of an atom and are positively charged.
  • Neutrons are found inside the nucleus of an atom and have no charge.
  • They are electrically neutral because they have an equal number of protons and electrons.

So from this, we can conclude that atoms have no electric charge because they have an equal number of electrons and protons. Option C is correct.

a rocket lift off the surface of earth with a constant acceleration of 20 m/sec^2 .how fast will the rocket be going 1 min latter?

Answers

a = v1-v0/t so v1= a*t (v0 is o m/s) v1=
20m/s * 60 s = 1200 m/s
"Acceleration of 20 m/s² " means that the rocket is speeding up,
and its speed becomes 20 m/s greater every second.

Since it started out with zero speed, its speed after 1 minute
(60 seconds) is

              (20 m/s /s) · (60 s)  =  1,200 m/s .

Sa ma ajute cineva va rog mult Ce cantitate de apă poate fi încălzită de la temperatura t 1 = 10 0 C la temperatura finală T 2 = 293, 15 K, dacă i se furnizează căldura de 41850 J ? Se dă căldura specifică a apei : c apă = 4185

Answers

Răspuns:

1000 kg

Explicaţie:

Date date

t1 = 10 ° C

t2 = 293,15K = până la grad = 293,15-273 = 20,15 ° C

= 20 ° C    aproximativ

Q = 418kJ = 418000J

c = 4180J / kg ° C

m =? Kg

Necesar:

Masa m în kg

Pasul doi:

Formulă:

Q = c * m * Δt

Q = c * m * (t2 -t1)

m = Q / c * (t2-t1)

Calculati:

m = 418000/4180 * (20-10)

m = 100 * 10 kg

m = 1000 kg

How does increasing the tension of a spring affect a wave on the spring?

Answers

Increasing the tension of a spring affects a wave on the spring because it increases the frequency. When the tension rises, so does the frequency.

Answer: Increases the frequency of the wave

Explanation:

Increasing the tension of a spring means increasing its stiffness. The wave produced thereafter has greater frequency.  

Higher tension causes the spring to have greater restoring force causing it to quickly come back to its equilibrium position. Thus, the speed of the wave also increases.
