. A 2.00 kg ball is attached to a ceiling by a string. The distance from the ceiling to the center of the ball is 1.00 m, and th

e height of the room is 3.00 m. What is the gravitational potential energy associated with the ball relative to each of the following? (a) the ceiling (b) the floor (c) a point at the same elevation as the ball

<h2>a) Potential energy of ball relative to ceiling is 19.62 J</h2><h2>b) Potential energy of ball relative to floor is 39.24 J</h2><h2>c) Potential energy of ball relative to same elevation is 0 J</h2>

Explanation:

Mass of ball, m = 2 kg

Acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.81 m/s²

Height of ball from ground = 3 - 1 = 2 m

Potential energy, PE = mgh

Potential energy of ball, PE = 2 x 9.81 x 2 = 39.24 J

a) Potential energy of ball at ceiling = 2 x 9.81 x 3 = 58.86 J

Potential energy of ball relative to ceiling = 58.86 - 39.24 = 19.62 J

b) Potential energy of ball at floor = 2 x 9.81 x 0 = 0 J

Potential energy of ball relative to floor = 39.24 - 0 = 39.24 J

c) Potential energy of ball at same elevation = 2 x 9.81 x 2 = 39.24 J

Potential energy of ball relative to same elevation = 39.24 - 39.24 = 0 J

2) Why do you think fossil fueled cars are still out numbering alternative and replacement fueled cars even though fossil fuels
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

Fossil-fueled cars are still outnumbering the alternative and replacement-fueled cars because they are generally cost-effective and are efficient.

Explanation:

<em>Fossil fuels</em> are non-renewable energy that cannot be replenished. Although many people know how harmful using them can be to the environment, still, people continue to buy cars that are powered by it. This is because, <em>using fossil-fueled cars can help you save money</em> compared to using<em> replacement-fueled cars.</em><em> Its engines are also more powerful,</em> which means they can arrive at their destination in just a few minutes. <u>This makes it efficient.</u> The cost of maintaining a fossil-fueled car is less expensive compared to<em> replacement-fueled cars.</em> People are naturally keen when it comes to budgeting, thus, many people still buy cars powered by fossil fuels.

Are you better off in an accident where the hood is
horsena [70]

Answer:

you would be better off if the car bounced backwards

Explanation:

because if the hood was dismembered than you have a high chance of very bad injury but if it is just bounced back you would have less chance of getting hurt if properly sitting and seat belted.
