A shopper in a supermarket takes a box of sugar from a shelf that is 1.5 m high because he is going to bake some muffins. He also needs to get some blueberries. The sugar has a weight of 5N. What Potential Energy did the sugar have before it was taken from the shelf?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

7.5 Joules.

Explanation:

Potential energy can be defined as an energy possessed by an object or body due to its position.

Mathematically, potential energy is given by the formula;

[tex] P.E = mgh[/tex]

Where, P.E represents potential energy measured in Joules.

m represents the mass of an object.

g represents acceleration due to gravity measured in meters per seconds square.

h represents the height measured in meters.

Given the following data;

Weight of sugar = 5N

Height = 1.5m

[tex] P.E = mgh[/tex]

But we know that weight = mg = 5N

Substituting into the equation, we have;

[tex] P.E = 5 * 1.5 [/tex]

[tex] P.E = 7.5 J[/tex]

Therefore, the potential energy the sugar had before it was taken from the shelf is 7.5 Joules.

Answer 2

The potential energy of the sugar at the given position before it was taken from shelf is 7.5 J.

The given parameters;

height of the shelf, h = 1.5 mweight of the sugar, W = 5 N

The potential energy of the sugar at the given position before it was taken from shelf is calculated as follows;

P.E = mgh

P.E = Wh

P.E = 5 x 1.5

P.E = 7.5 J

Thus, the potential energy of the sugar at the given position before it was taken from shelf is 7.5 J.

Answers

Answer:

(a). The speed of car will increases.

(b). The speed of car will decreases.

Explanation:

Given that,

A car is traveling from your left to your right at a constant velocity.

We need to find two actions could the driver take

Using given data

(a). If the velocity and acceleration of car to the right

It means the velocity and acceleration of car is in same direction then the speed of car will increases.

(b). If the velocity to the right and the acceleration to the left

It means the velocity and acceleration of car is in opposite direction then the speed of car will decreases.

Hence, (a). The speed of car will increases.

(b). The speed of car will decreases.

  The largest diameter is   [tex]d =  0.523 \ m [/tex]

b

The number of revolution is   [tex]n  =  2.132 *10^{4}[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The kinetic energy of the electron is  [tex]K =  6.5 MeV =  6.5 *10^6 * 1.60 *10^{-19} = 1.04 *10^{-12} \  J[/tex]

    The magnetic field is  [tex]B  =  1.4 \  T[/tex]

       The time is  [tex]t =  1 ms =  1*0^{-3} \  s[/tex]

Generally the kinetic energy of the proton is mathematically represented as

           [tex]KE  =  \frac{1}{2}  *  m * v^2[/tex]

Here m is the mass of the  proton with a value  [tex]m = 1.672 *10^{-27} \  kg[/tex]

    =>  [tex]v  = \sqrt{ \frac{2 *  K }{ m} }[/tex]

=>      [tex]v  = \sqrt{ \frac{2 *  1.04 *10^{-12}  }{ 1.672 *10^{-27}} }[/tex]

=>      [tex]v  = 3.5271 * 10^{7} \  m/s [/tex]

Generally the radius of the largest orbit is mathematically represented as

       [tex]r =  \frac{ m *  v}{ B  *  e}[/tex]

Here e is the charge on a proton with the value [tex]e =  1.60 *10^{-19} \  C[/tex]

         [tex]r =  \frac{ 1.672 *10^{-27} * 3.5271 * 10^{7} }{  1.4  *    1.60 *10^{-19} }[/tex]

=> [tex]r = 0.261 \ m [/tex]

Generally the diameter is

     [tex]d =  2 *  r[/tex]

=>       [tex]d =  2 *  0.261[/tex]

=>       [tex]d =  0.523 \ m [/tex]

Gnerally the period of revolution round the orbit is mathematically represented as

       [tex]T  = \frac{2 \pi  *  m }{B  *  e}[/tex]

=>    [tex]T  = \frac{2 * 3.142  *  1.672 *10^{-27}  }{1.4 *  1.60 *10^{-19}}[/tex]

=>    [tex]T  =  4.691 *10^{-8} \  s [/tex]

Generally the number of revolution is mathematically represented as

      [tex]n  =  \frac{t}{T}[/tex]

     [tex]n  =  \frac{1*10^{-3}}{4.691 *10^{-8} }[/tex]

      [tex]n  =  2.132 *10^{4}[/tex]

Why isn’t it possible to measure the thermal energy of a substance using a thermometer

Answers

Answer:

This is because a thermometer is only meant for measuring temperature and temperature is not a measure of thermal energy

Explanation:

The reason is because a thermometer is designed and calibrated to measure the temperature of a body.

Although the thermal energy of a body is somehow related to its temperature, the thermal energy of a body is not entirely dependent on the temperature of the body

The thermal energy of a body deals with its heat. While thermal energy basically deals with the amount of heat, temperature deals with the flow from one point to another along the body

So what this means is that since thermometer measures this flow, it cannot be used to ascertain the level of heat ( thermal energy) in the body

Answer:

This is because a thermometer is only meant for measuring temperature and temperature is not a measure of thermal energy

if you weigh 637 N on Earth's surface, how much would you weigh on the planet Mars?

Answers

Answer:

To get your answer multiply 637N by 10N/kg to get 6370kg

The mass of an object weighing 637 N on earth is 65 kg. The acceleration due to gravity on mars is 3.72 m/s². Then its weight on mars is 241.8 N.

What is gravitational force?

The gravitational force is the force by which an object attracts other object into its center of mass. Earth attracts every objects into its surface and that is why we are all standing on the ground and experience a weight.

The acceleration due to gravity is the acceleration to the downward motion by gravitational force for an object.  The weight of an object is the sum of its mass and acceleration due to gravity of the planet in which the object is placed.

The acceleration due to gravity of earth = 9.8 m/s²

then mass of person weighing 637 N = 637 N/9.8 m/s² = 65 Kg

acceleration due to gravity of mars = 3.72  m/s²

then weight of the mass 65 kg = 65 kg × 3.72  m/s² = 241.8 N.

Therefore, the person will weight 241.8 N at mars.

The light rays in the illustration below do not properly focus at the focal point. This problem occurs with

A. all-spherical mirrors
B. all parabolic mirrors
C. only defective spherical mirrors
D. only defective parabolic mirrors

Answers

C. Only defective spherical mirrors

This problem occurs with C. only defective spherical mirrors.

Spherical mirrors can be either concave or convex, depending on their shape. A perfect spherical mirror is one that has a consistent curvature across its surface, which allows all the light rays that strike it to properly converge or diverge and focus at the focal point.

However, a defective spherical mirror is one that does not have a perfect curvature across its surface. This can happen due to manufacturing errors or damage to the mirror. When a spherical mirror is defective, the light rays do not properly focus at the focal point, leading to distorted or blurred images.

On the other hand, parabolic mirrors have a unique shape that allows them to reflect incoming light rays to a single focal point, providing a sharper and clearer image compared to spherical mirrors.

Therefore, the correct answer is C. only defective spherical mirrors, as they are the ones that do not properly focus the light rays at the focal point.

Will the velocity of a book change as it moves across the surface with friction

Answers

friction always acts to oppose any relative motion between surfaces. if we push on the book with a force of less than 5N , the book wont move, because the frictional force will exactly balance the force we apply. if we push with a 1 N force, a 1 N friction force opposes us.

Friction force is a force that opposes relative motion of two bodies that have contacting surfaces

Yes, the velocity of the book will change as it moves across the surface with friction

Reason:

According to Newton's first law of motion, a body will remain at rest or move with a constant speed in a straight line unless acted on by a force

Friction force, f = Normal reaction, N × Coefficient of friction, μ

A surface with friction has frictional force that opposes the relative motion of an object in surface contact across it

When an object such as a book moves across a surface with friction, the friction force acts on the book having a velocity, opposing the motion of the book, therefore, slowing down the book

Therefore, the velocity of the will change (reduce) as it moves across the surface with friction

What is mechanical energy?

Mechanical energy is the combination of all the energy in motion represented by total kinetic energy and the total potential energy stored energy in the system which is represented by total potential energy.

As total mechanical energy is the sum of all the kinetic as well as potential energy stored in the system.

ME = KE + PE

The total gravitational potential energy at the edge of the cliff would be

PE = m × g × h

PE =61 × 9.81 × 1857

PE =1111247.37 Joules

Thus, the total gravitational potential energy at the edge of the cliff would be  1111247.37 Joules.
