. 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

Kinetic vs potential energy
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

Kinetic energy is the energy obtained from movement while potential energy is the energy in something when it is at a height or has been manipulated in some way; it has work done to it.

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is, like I said, energy gained through movement or action. When an object stops moving, it converts into a different type of energy. Energy cannot be destroyed or created. An object with potential energy has a reference. A reference determines how high it is. The higher and heavier an object is, the more potential energy it has.

Hope this helps!

(8c7p26) During spring semester at MIT, residents of the parallel buildings of the East Campus dorms battle one another with lar
likoan [24]

Answer: 1175 J

Explanation:

Hooke's Law states that "the strain in a solid is proportional to the applied stress within the elastic limit of that solid."

Given

Spring constant, k = 102 N/m

Extension of the hose, x = 4.8 m

from the question, x(f) = 0 and x(i) = maximum elongation = 4.8 m

Work done =

W = 1/2 k [x(i)² - x(f)²]

Since x(f) = 0, then

W = 1/2 k x(i)²

W = 1/2 * 102 * 4.8²

W = 1/2 * 102 * 23.04

W = 1/2 * 2350.08

W = 1175.04

W = 1175 J

Therefore, the hose does a work of exactly 1175 J on the balloon

A man with a mass of 60 kg rides a bike with a mass of 13 kg. What is the force needed to accelerate the bike at 0.90 m/s2?
Scrat [10]
The total mass of the things on the road is 60 + 13, which is 73kg.

mass • acceleration = F

73 x 0.9m/s^2 = 65.7N

F = 65.7 N
