Answer:
The mass of the object and its height in the gravitational field of the Earth.
Explanation:
If we are talking about gravitational potential energy which is defined as:
[tex]U=m\,*\,g\,*\,h[/tex]
being "m" the object's mass, "g" the acceleration due to gravity, and "h" the height at which the object is located relative to the conventionally picked level for zero of potential energy.
As long as the value of "g" is constant, the only two variables that determine the gravitational potential energy are the mass (m) of the object and its relative height (h).
Answer:
The objects weight and height above Earth's surface

Explain why stellar parallax cannot be used to measure the distance to other galaxies.
Answer:
1. a) Astronomers use the parallax method to measure the distance to nearby stars, but
we can’t use it to measure the distance to stars in other galaxies. Why not? Why isn’t the
parallax method useful for measuring the distances to stars in other galaxies?
They are so distant that the parallax is too small to be measured since parallax varies
inversely with distance.
b) Instead of the parallax method, we use the standard candle method to measure the
distance to stars in other galaxies. In particular, we use the standard candle method to
measure the distances to Cepheid variable stars in other galaxies. What is special about
Cepheid variable stars that makes them useful for this purpose?
We can figure out their luminosities from their periods of variation. Then if we measure
their fluxes we can calculate their distances.
2. a) From what were the protons and electrons in your body made, and roughly when
were they made?
They were made from energy (or gamma rays) very soon after the big bang (in the first
second). 400,000 years later they got together to make hydrogen atoms.
b) From what were the carbon atoms in your body made, and where were they made?
They were not made in the big bang. They were made much later inside of stars or in
supernovae. They were made by fusion from lighter atoms.

An object of mass 25kg is at rest. What is its momentum ?
Answer:
[tex]\boxed{0}[/tex]
Explanation:
Momentum is the measure of mass in motion.
[tex]\sf momentum = mass \times velocity[/tex]
An object at rest has a velocity of 0.
[tex]p=mv[/tex]
[tex]p = 25 \times 0[/tex]
[tex]p=0[/tex]
The momentum of an object at rest is always 0.
Does the surface tension of water affect the rate of evaporation? If so, would adding a surfactant speed up evaporation?
Answer:
The evaporation time gradually increased with the increase in surfactant concentration, i.e., from water to the concentration level of 0.005%. Furthermore, the evaporation time is significantly reduced, even lower than that of water containing relatively high concentrations from 0.01% to 0.1%.
You have a hot reservoir held at 30°C and a cold reservoir held at 0°C. If you move 400 J of heat from the hot reservoir to the cold reservoir, what is the total change in entropy?
Answer:
Explanation:
Given the following :
Temperature (Th) of hot reservoir = 30°C (30 +273) = 303K
Temperature (Tc) of cold reservoir = 0°C (273K)
Quantity (Q) of heat transferred from hot reservoir = 400 J
Total change in entropy (ΔStotal) :
ΔStotal = ΔShot + ΔScold
ΔS = Q/T
Hot reservoir is losing 400J of heat ;
Q = - 400 J
ΔShot = Q/Th
ΔShot = - 400/303
ΔShot = - 1.32 J/K
ΔScold = Q/T
ΔScold = 400 / 273
ΔScold = 1.47 J/K
ΔStotal = ΔShot + ΔScold
ΔStotal = - 1.32 + 1.47
ΔS total = 0.15 J/K
Answer:
-400/303 = -1.32
400/273 = 1.47
-1.32 + 1.47 =
.15 J/K

A diver performs a dive from a 10 m-platform. She
jumps vertically upwards at 3 m s initially.
Find the time she takes to reach the water surface
Answer:
The time she takes to reach the water from when she jumps off the platform is 1.71 s
Explanation:
According to the equations of motion, we have;
v = u - g·t
v² = u² - 2·g·s
s₁ = u₁·t₁ + 1/2·g₁·t₁²
The given parameters are;
The height of the platform (assumption: above the water) = 10 m
The velocity with which she jumps, u = 3 m/s
The acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.81 m/s²
The height to which she jumps, s, is found as follows;
v² = u² - 2·g·s
At maximum height, v = 0, which gives;
0 = 3² - 2×9.81×s
2×9.81×s = 3² = 9
s = 9/(2×9.81) = 0.4587 m
s = 0.4587 m
The time to maximum height, t, is found as follows;
v = u - g·t
0 = 3 - 9.81×t
9.81×t = 3
t = 3/9.81 = 0.3058 s
The total distance, s₁ from maximum height to the water surface = s + 10 = 0.4587 + 10 = 10.4587 m = 10.46 m
The time to reach the water from maximum height, t₁, is found as follows;
s₁ = u₁·t₁ + 1/2·g₁·t₁²
Where;
s₁ = The total distance from maximum height to the water surface = 10.46 m
u₁ = The initial velocity, this time from the maximum height = 0 m/s
g₁ = The acceleration due to gravity, g (positive this time as the diver is accelerating down) = 9.81 m/s²
t₁ = The time to reach the water from maximum height
Substituting the values gives;
s₁ = u₁·t₁ + 1/2·g₁·t₁²
10.46 = 0·t₁ + 1/2·9.81·t₁²
t₁²= 10.46/(1/2×9.81) = 2.13 s²
t₁ = √2.13 = 1.46 s
Total time = t₁ + t = 1.46 + 0.3058 = 1.7066 ≈ 1.71 s.
Therefore, the time she takes to reach the water from when she jumps off the platform = 1.71 s.
If we removed the producers from this food web, how would it affect the balance of the ecosystem?
In a food web, the removal of any trophic level upsets the balance within the web and can cause its eventual collapse. Because producers capture solar energy and convert it to food energy, their loss would affect every other level of the food web.
Explanation:The removal of the producers would cause the collapse of the entire food web. Primary consumers or herbivores, which feed on producers directly, would die off. The next to be affected would be the secondary consumers or carnivores that eat the primary consumers. Higher level consumers would suffer as organisms from lower trophic levels start to die off. Decomposers would break down the bodies of dead organisms, returning their basic elements and compounds to the environment. However, even these dead organisms would run out and the entire food web would collapse.

Monochromatic light of wavelength 649 nm is incident on a narrow slit. On a screen 2.25 m away, the distance between the second diffraction minimum and the central maximum is 1.99 cm. (a) Calculate the angle of diffraction θ of the second minimum. (b) Find the width of the slit.
Answer:
a)0.51°
b)1.47×10^-4m
Explanation:
a)for a single slit experiment, the minima that has an angle of θ towards the centre needs to satisfy the expression below.
bsin(θ)= mλ.........................(*)
Where b= width of the slit
The distance on the screen from Central angle can be expressed as
Sin(θ)= y/d............. (**)
d and y is the horizontal distance between slit and screen
If we input eqn(**) into equation (*) we have
y= mλd/b................(z)
In order to find angle (θ) we have
(θ)= sin-(1.99×10^-2)/2.25
= 0.51°
Therefore, angle of diffraction θ of the second minimum is 0.51°
b)to find the width of the sloth using eqn(z) by substitute the values, we have
b= (2)(649×10^-9)(2.25)/1.99×10^-2
b= 1.47×10^-4m
Therefore, the width of the slit is 1.47×10^-4m

A 4.00-m long rod is hinged at one end. The rod is initially held in the horizontal position, and then released as the free end is allowed to fall. What is the angular acceleration as it is released
Answer:
The angular acceleration α = 14.7 rad/s²
Explanation:
The torque on the rod τ = Iα where I = moment of inertia of rod = mL²/12 where m =mass of rod and L = length of rod = 4.00 m. α = angular acceleration of rod
Also, τ = Wr where W = weight of rod = mg and r = center of mass of rod = L/2.
So Iα = Wr
Substituting the value of the variables, we have
mL²α/12 = mgL/2
Simplifying by dividing through by mL, we have
mL²α/12mL = mgL/2mL
Lα/12 = g/2
multiplying both sides by 12, we have
Lα/12 × 12 = g/2 × 12
αL = 6g
α = 6g/L
α = 6 × 9.8 m/s² ÷ 4.00 m
α = 58.8 m/s² ÷ 4.00 m
α = 14.7 rad/s²
So, the angular acceleration α = 14.7 rad/s²

A block is attached to the end of a spring. The block is then displaced from its equilibrium position and released. Subsequently, the block moves back and forth on a frictionless surface without any losses due to friction. Which one of the following statements concerning the total mechanical energy of the block-spring system this situation is true?
1. The total mechanical energy is dependent on the maximum displacement during the motion.
2. The total mechanical energy is at its maximum when the block is at its equilibrium position
3. The total mechanical energy is constant as the block moves back and forth.
4. The total mechanical energy is only dependent on the spring constant and the mass of the block.
Answer:
The correct option is;
3. The total mechanical energy is constant as the block moves back and forth
Explanation:
The total mechanical energy is the sum of the potential and kinetic energies of the system
For a system that is isolated from the effects of external forces, but being acted upon by the internal conservative forces within the system, the total mechanical energy is constant
For a black and spring system, we have total mechanical energy, E = 1/2×K×A².
Where;
K = Constant
A = The amplitude of motion
Therefore, where there is no loss to friction, with A, remaining constant, the total mechanical energy will be constant.

A 2-kg cart, traveling on a horizontal air track with a speed of 3m/s, collides with a stationary 4-kg cart. The carts stick together. The impulse exerted by one cart on the other has a magnitude of
Answer:
The impulse exerted by one cart on the other has a magnitude of 4 N.s.
Explanation:
Given;
mass of the first cart, m₁ = 2 kg
initial speed of the first car, u₁ = 3 m/s
mass of the second cart, m₂ = 4 kg
initial speed of the second cart, u₂ = 0
Let the final speed of both carts = v, since they stick together after collision.
Apply the principle of conservation of momentum to determine v
m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = v(m₁ + m₂)
2 x 3 + 0 = v(2 + 4)
6 = 6v
v = 1 m/s
Impulse is given by;
I = ft = mΔv = m(
The impulse exerted by the first cart on the second cart is given;
I = 2 (3 -1 )
I = 4 N.s
The impulse exerted by the second cart on the first cart is given;
I = 4(0-1)
I = - 4 N.s (equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to the impulse exerted by the first).
Therefore, the impulse exerted by one cart on the other has a magnitude of 4 N.s.
A metal ring 4.30 cm in diameter is placed between the north and south poles of large magnets with the plane of its area perpendicular to the magnetic field. These magnets produce an initial uniform field of 1.12 T between them but are gradually pulled apart, causing this field to remain uniform but decrease steadily at 0.230 T/s.(a) What is the magnitude of the electric field induced in the ring? (b) In which direction (clockwise or counterclockwise) does the current flow as viewed by someone on the south pole of the magnet?
Answer:
A)0.00966 N/C
B) counterclockwise direction
Explanation:
We are given;
Diameter of the metal ring; d = 4.3 cm
Radius;r = 2.15 cm = 0.021- m
Initial magnetic field, B = 1.12 T
Rate of decrease of the magnetic field;dB/dt = 0.23 T/s
Now, as a result of change in magnetic field, an emf will be induced in it. Thus, , electric field is induced and given by the formula :
∫E•dr = d/dt∫B.A •dA
This gives;
E(2πr) = dB/dt(πr²)
Gives;. 2E = dB/dt(r)
E = dB/dt × 2r
We are given;
E = 0.23 × 2(0.021)
E = 0.00966 N/C
The magnitude of the electric field induced in the ring has a magnitude of 0.00966 N/C
B) The direction of electric field will be in a counterclock wise direction when viewed by someone on the south pole of the magnet

If 5 complete oscillations of a sound wave pass through a point in 0.5 s and the speed of sound was recorded to be 10 m/s, then find the wavelength of the sound.
Answer:
Wavelength = 1 meters
Explanation:
Given that,
Number of oscillations is 5
It passes through a point in 0.5 s
The speed of sound was recorded to be 10 m/s.
We need to find the wavelength of the sound.
Firstly, we will find frequency of this wave. Total no of oscillations per unit time is called frequency. So,
[tex]f=\dfrac{5}{0.5}\\\\f=10\ Hz[/tex]
Now the speed of wave in terms of wavelength and frequency is given by :
[tex]v=f\lambda[/tex]
Here, [tex]\lambda[/tex] = wavelength
[tex]\lambda=\dfrac{v}{f}\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{10\ m/s}{10\ Hz}\\\\\lambda=1\ m[/tex]
So, the wavelength of the sound is 1 meters.

in the derivation of the time period of a pendulum in electric field when considering the fbd of bob to find the g effective why do we neglect tension
Answer:
we learned that an object that is vibrating is acted upon by a restoring force. The restoring force causes the vibrating object to slow down as it moves away from the equilibrium position and to speed up as it approaches the equilibrium position. It is this restoring force that is responsible for the vibration. So what forces act upon a pendulum bob? And what is the restoring force for a pendulum? There are two dominant forces acting upon a pendulum bob at all times during the course of its motion. There is the force of gravity that acts downward upon the bob. It results from the Earth's mass attracting the mass of the bob. And there is a tension force acting upward and towards the pivot point of the pendulum. The tension force results from the string pulling upon the bob of the pendulum. In our discussion, we will ignore the influence of air resistance - a third force that always opposes the motion of the bob as it swings to and fro. The air resistance force is relatively weak compared to the two dominant forces.
The gravity force is highly predictable; it is always in the same direction (down) and always of the same magnitude - mass*9.8 N/kg. The tension force is considerably less predictable. Both its direction and its magnitude change as the bob swings to and fro. The direction of the tension force is always towards the pivot point. So as the bob swings to the left of its equilibrium position, the tension force is at an angle - directed upwards and to the right. And as the bob swings to the right of its equilibrium position, the tension is directed upwards and to the left. The diagram below depicts the direction of these two forces at five different positions over the course of the pendulum's path.

Why does it take a longer time for a kilogram of water than a kilogram of copper to reach the same temperature?
Answer:
Since water has a higher specific heat than copper.
Explanation:
Dimensionally speaking, the specific heat of a material ([tex]c[/tex]) is represented by:
[tex][c] = \frac{[Energy]}{[Mass]\cdot [Temperature]}[/tex]
The specific heats of water and copper are [tex]4186\,\frac{J}{kg\cdot ^{\circ}C}[/tex] and [tex]390\,\frac{J}{kg\cdot ^{\circ}C}[/tex], respectively. Let suppose that temperature change and masses of water and copper are the same. Then, a kilogram of water takes a longer time than a kilogram of copper since the first has a higher specific heat.

Jaiden is writing a report about the structure of the atom in her report,she says that the atom has three main parts and two subatomic particles. Do you agree with her?why or why not
Answer:
I do not agree with the answer.
Because in reality, the atom has 2 main parts and 3 subatomic particles.
Explanation:
The parts of an atom are:
- The crust: It is the outer part of the atom and is the place where the electrons are.
- The nucleus: It is the central part of the atom and is the place that contains the protons and neutrons.
The subatomic particles of the atom are:
- Electrons: They are negatively charged particles that go in the atom's crust and are divided into specific sections.
- Protons: They are particles with a positive electric charge, the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom is what determines the atomic number of an element.
- Neutrons: They are atoms with no electric charge.

The law of conservation of momentum states that the total momentum of interacting objects does not change . This means the total momentum a collision or explosion is equal to the total momentum a collision or explosion.what is momentum
Answer:
The momentum of an object is equal to the product of its mass and its velocity.
Explanation:
Consider an object of mass [tex]m[/tex] travelling at a velocity [tex]\vec{v}[/tex]. The momentum [tex]\vec{p}[/tex] of this object would be:
[tex]\vec{p} = m \cdot \vec{v}[/tex].
For the law of conservation of momentum, consider two objects: object [tex]\rm a[/tex] and object [tex]\rm b[/tex]. Assume that these two objects collided with each other.
Let [tex]m_{\rm a}[/tex] and [tex]m_{\rm b}[/tex] denote the mass of the two objects. Let [tex]\vec{v}_{\rm a}(\text{initial})[/tex] and [tex]\vec{v}_{\rm b}(\text{initial})[/tex] denote the velocity of the two object right before the interaction. Let [tex]\vec{v}_{\rm a}(\text{final})[/tex] and [tex]\vec{v}_{\rm b}(\text{final})[/tex] denote the velocity of the two objects right after the interaction. The momentum of the two objects right before the collision would be [tex]m_{\rm a}\cdot \vec{v}_{\rm a}(\text{initial})[/tex] and [tex]m_{\rm b}\cdot \vec{v}_{\rm b}(\text{initial})[/tex], respectively. The momentum of the two objects right after the collision would be [tex]m_{\rm a}\cdot \vec{v}_{\rm a}(\text{final})[/tex] and [tex]m_{\rm b}\cdot \vec{v}_{\rm b}(\text{final})[/tex], respectively.The sum of the momentum of the two objects would be:
[tex]m_{\rm a}\cdot \vec{v}_{\rm a}(\text{initial}) + m_{\rm b}\cdot \vec{v}_{\rm b}(\text{initial})[/tex] right before the collision, and[tex]m_{\rm a}\cdot \vec{v}_{\rm a}(\text{final}) + m_{\rm b}\cdot \vec{v}_{\rm b}(\text{final})[/tex] right after the collision.Assume that the system of these two objects is isolated. By the law of conservation of momentum, the sum of the momentum of these two objects should be the same before and after the collision. That is:
[tex]m_{\rm a}\cdot \vec{v}_{\rm a}(\text{initial}) + m_{\rm b}\cdot \vec{v}_{\rm b}(\text{initial}) = m_{\rm a}\cdot \vec{v}_{\rm a}(\text{final}) + m_{\rm b}\cdot \vec{v}_{\rm b}(\text{final})[/tex].
