Sal the sloth takes one hour to travel 7 1/2 feet. If he continues to travel at the same rate, how long will it take him to trav
1 answer:
Answer:
4 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we know he travels at a rate of 1:7.5 all we have to do is divide 7.5 by 30. Do you use proportions? You can set this up as a proportion and the find answer easily.
1
Now we cross product.
7.5 multipled by x =7.5x
1x30=30
so now we have
7.5x=30
Now we have to divide 7.5 on both sides which gives us
x=4

<span>gravitational potential energy : P
Gravity : g
Mass : m
height : h
P = mgh = 3 x 9.8 x 0.45 = 13.23 Joule
Potential energy is work , from the known formula
W = Fd ( work = force x distance )
W = P ( in case of potential energy height change)
F is the force acting on the body in case of ideal ramp , the only force acting is the weight of the body
F = mg ( not just <m> as the force is mg (Newton) gravity effect)
d is the displacement in direction of force, as we have considered the force to be the weight not it's component in direction of the ramp , the change in displacement is the change in height so
d = h
W = Fd = (F = mg) x (d = h) = mgh
W = mgh = P
