The world record for pole vaulting is 6.15 m. If the pole vaulter’s gravitational potential is 4942 J, what is his mass?

Physics
1 answer:
N76 [4]2 years ago
8 0

From the calculations, the mass of the pole is 82 Kg.

<h3>What is potential energy?</h3>

The term potential energy has to do with the energy that is possessed  by a body by virtue of its position.

Given that;

height = 6.15 m

PE = 4942 J

mass = ??

g = 9.8 m/s^2

Now

PE = mgh

m = PE/gh

m =  4942 J/9.8 m/s^2 * 6.15 m

m = 82 Kg

A football player is running with a velocity or 10 m/s. At that velocity, his momentum is 2500 kg*m/s. What is the football play
DedPeter [7]

The mass of the football player is 250 kg.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Momentum is defined as the product of mass and velocity. So here the velocity (v) is given as 10 m/s and the momentum is given as 2500 kg m /s. So we can determine the mass (m) of the player by substituting the known terms in the formula of determining momentum as shown below.

             \text {Momentum}(p)=m \times v

As we know the value of momentum and velocity, the mass can be found as,

             m=\frac{p}{v}=\frac{2500}{10}=250 \mathrm{kg}

Thus, the mass of the football player is found to be 250 kg.

A roller coaster has a mass of 450 kgIt sits at the top of a hill with height 49 m. If it drops from this hill, how fast is it g
fgiga [73]

The speed of the roller coater at the bottom of the hill is 31 m/s.

<h3>Speed of the roller coater at the bottom of the hill</h3>

Apply the principle of conservation of mechanical energy as follows;

K.E(bottom) = P.E(top)

¹/₂mv² = mgh

v² = 2gh

v = √2gh

where;

  • v is the speed of the coater at bottom hill
  • h is the height of the hill
  • g is acceleration due to gravity

v = √(2 x 9.8 x 49)

v = 31 m/s

Thus, the speed of the roller coater at the bottom of the hill is 31 m/s.

How do you know when electric current is flowing in a lightbulb circuit?
daser333 [38]
The direction of an electric current is by convention the direction in which a positive charge would move. Thus, the current in the external circuit is directed away from the positive terminal and toward the negative terminal of the battery. Electrons would actually move through the wires in the opposite direction.

Two protons (each with q = 1.60 x 10-19)
otez555 [7]

Answer:

230.4 N

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Charge (q) of each protons = 1.6×10¯¹⁹ C

Distance apart (r) = 1×10¯¹⁵ m

Force (F) =?

NOTE: Electric constant (K) = 9×10⁹ Nm²/C²

The force exerted can be obtained as follow:

F = Kq₁q₂ / r²

F = 9×10⁹ × (1.6×10¯¹⁹)² / (1×10¯¹⁵)²

F = 9×10⁹ × 2.56×10¯³⁸ / 1×10¯³⁰

F = 2.304×10¯²⁸ / 1×10¯³⁰

F = 230.4 N

Therefore, the force exerted is 230.4 N
