The increase in potential energy of his mother if her mass is 56.0 kg will be 6031.97 J.

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

The energy that an item has due to its location in a gravitational field is known as gravitational potential energy.

The potential energy increases by 3773 J

PE₂-PE₁=mg(h₂-h₁)

3773 J = 35.0 × 9.81 × (h₂-h₁)

(h₂-h₁) = 10.98

Case 2 ;

ΔPE =?

ΔPE=mg(h₂-h₁)

ΔPE=56.0 × 9.81 ×10.98

ΔPE=6031.97 J.

Hence, the increase in potential energy of his mother if her mass is 56.0 kg will be 6031.97 J.

A carriage of 20 kg is pulled with a force of 35 N. How far the carriage will go
Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

2.71 m

Explanation:

Force is the product of mass and acceleration

F=m*a

Work done is the product of force and distance

Work done=F*d

In this case;

F= 35 N

Work done = 95 J

95 =35 * d

95 /35 = d

2.71 m= d

A large box slides across a frictionless surface with a velocity of 12 m/s and a mass of 4
denpristay [2]
Answer= 8m/s

Because total Momentum before= total momentum after

Momentum before (p=mu)
p=(4)(12)= 48
p=2(0)=0
So total momentum before=48

Momentum after (p=mu)
Masses combined —2+4=6kg
p=6u


Mb=Ma
48=6u
u=8m/s

How to reduce friction of moving a heavy load .
Vilka [71]
● Use lubricants such as oil.
● Place the load on a piece of cloth as it can ease the friction
● Place the load on a cart with wheels so it can be converted to rolling friction and can be pushed easily.
● Place the load on an inclined plane
