A 60 kg person walks up a 75 m tall hill. How much gravitational potential energy do they have at the top of the hill?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer:

45,000 J

Explanation:

The gravitational potential energy of a body can be found by using the formula

GPE = mgh

where

m is the mass

h is the height

g is the acceleration due to gravity which is 10 m/s²

From the question we have

GPE = 60 × 10 × 75

We have the final answer as

45,000 J

Hope this helps you

the separation of a mixture, a chemical change, formation of a mixture, physical change

Answers

1. For the first one if it doesn't shatter then it is hard.
2. We sould consider that room temperature is usually from 18°C (64°F) to 23°C (73°F) and since the melting point of the substance is 40˚C the substance is liquid, because is melting point not an evaporation point it just melts from solid to liquid.
3. Well, in this one we have to consider that a chemical change it change the thing completely. So in this case is baking a cake because the products make the cake stop being them self and created something else.
4. It tends to have low reactivity. This is because viscosity means something like honey very sticky , density is how hard it is and lastly the conductivity I would believe is to pass electricity or current.
5. It is a physical change because the evaporated water transforms again into water and then fall as rain, snow or ice.

Could someone please explain to me Archimede's principle without using the term displace (or at least explaining what it means)?

Answers

Does this help?

When an object is immersed in a fluid (in this case water, but may include both liquids and gases) the fluid exerts an upward force on the object which is called buoyancy force or up-thrust. Archimedes’ Principle states that the buoyant force (upward push or force) applied to an object is equal to the weight of the fluid that the object takes the space of by that object. Thus when an object is placed in water the rise in the water level is dictated by the mass of that object.

So for example if you fill a bucket with water and you drop a stone in that bucket, if you measure the weight of the water that overflows from the bucket due to the stone being dropped into the bucket is equivalent to the pushing force that the water has on the stone (as the stone drops to the bottom of the bucket the water is pushing it to stay afloat but the rock is more dense than water and as such its downthrust exceeds water's upthrust).

A skier has an acceleration of −2.5 m/s2. How long does it take her to come to a complete stop from a speed of 18 m/s?

Answers

the answer to your question is 7.2

Answer:

7.2 seconds

Explanation:

The formula is a = v/t, or acceleration = the change in velocity over the change in time.

In this case, you do simple algebra to rearrange the formula to solve for time: t = v/a, time = velocity/acceleration.

time = 18 m/s / 2.5 m/s^2 = 7.2s

As the pressure on a sample of gas increases, the volume of the sample _____. decreases stays the same increases

Answers

Answer : As the pressure on a sample of gas increases, the volume of the sample decreases.

Explanation :

According to the Boyle's, law, the pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to the volume of gas at constant temperature and moles of gas.

$P\propto (1)/(V)$ (At constant temperature and moles of gas)

From the we conclude that the higher the pressure of gas, lower will be the volume and lower the pressure of gas, higher will be the volume of gas.

Hence, as the pressure on a sample of gas increases, the volume of the sample decreases.

By Boyle's law the volume of the sample decreases, provided temperature is constant.

A clever engineer designs a "sprong" that obeys the force law fx =−q(x−xe)3, where xe is the equilibrium position of the end of the sprong and q is the sprong constant. for simplicity, we'll let xe =0m. then fx =−qx3.

Answers

The unit of q is N/m³.While the potential energy of the compressed spring will be $\rm U(x)= -(qx^4)/(4)$ .

What is the potential energy of spring?

When a springdeviates from its mean position, it attempts to regain equilibrium by applying a force that is equivalent to but opposite to the external force.

Spring force has been used in bicycle carriers and launchingmechanisms, where the energy generated by disrupting the spring'sbalance is used as potential energy.

The given equation for the force law is;

$\rm f_x =-q(x-x_e)$

Where,

$\rm x_e$ is equilibrium position of the end of the spring

q is a spring constant

If at equilibriumposition;

$\rm x_e=0$

$\rm F_X= -qx^3 \n\n \rm q = (F_x)/(x^3) \n\n$

So the unit derived will be;

q = N/m³

The potential energy of the spring is found by;

$\rm F_x=- (du)/(dx) \n\n U(x)= -\int\limits^x_0 {F(x)} \, dx \n\n U(x)= -\int\limits^x_0 -qx^3 \, dx \n\n U(x)=- (qx^4)/(4)$

Hence the unit of q is N/m³.While the potentialenergy of the compressed spring will be $\rm U(x)= -(qx^4)/(4)$ .

The objective of this question is to compute the units of q and calculate the expression for the P.E of the compressed spring

Answer:

q = N/m³

$\mathbf{U(x) = -(qx^4)/(4)}$

Explanation:

Given that:

The equation for the force law is:

$F_x = -q (x -x_e)^3$

where;

$x_e$ e = equilibrium position of the end of the spring

i.e. $x_e$ = 0

q = is the spring constant

Also;

$F_x = -qx^3$

From above the units of q can be calculated by making q the subject of the formula :

$q = (F_x)/(x^3)$

where x is in meters and F is in Netwon;

Then :

q = N/m³

The Potential energy P.E of the compressed spring can be calculated by using the integral:

$F_x = -(dU)/(dx)$

$U(x) = - \int F_x dx$

$U(x) = - \int ^x_0 (-qx^3) \ dx$

$\mathbf{U(x) = -(qx^4)/(4)}$

As a 2-kg ball rolls down a ramp, the net force on it is 10 N. What is the acceleration?

Answers

That all depends on the direction of the force. If the force is parallel to the ramp, then the acceleration of the ball is 5 m/s^2. If the force isn't parallel to the ramp, then the acceleration is less.
