Work done is by the change in the potential energy of the system. The work done by gravity is 924.63 J.

<h3>What is the Kinetic Energy?</h3>
  • Potential energy in physics is the energy that an item retains as a result of its position in relation to other objects, internal tensions, electric charge, or other elements.
  • The gravitational potential energy of an object, which is based on its mass and distance from another object's center of mass, the elastic potential energy of an extended spring, and the electric potential energy of an electric charge in an electric field are examples of common types of potential energy. The joule, denoted by the letter J, is the energy unit in the International System of Units (SI).

Solution:

mass = 5.10 kg

height = 18.5 mm

We know that work done by the gravity on the watermelon is the change in the potential energy of the watermelon, therefore,

Work done due to gravity = change in the potential energy of the system

W = \Delta PE

W = mg (h₀ - h₁)

W = 5.10 × 9.8 × 18.5

W = 924.63 J

Two children weighing 40 lbs and 50 lbs each are balancing their teacher weighing 120 lbs on a seesaw. The teacher is sitting 5
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

5 feet

Explanation:

First lets imagine that the values are in meters and kg, to make it easier for me.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The force created by the teacher is 120 × 5 = 600N.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The force created by the 50 kg student is 50 × 8 = 400N

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The force that needs to be created by the 40 kg student is 600N - 400N = 200N.

To create that force that student needs to sit 200 ÷ 40 = 5m.

So the 40 lbs student is sitting 5 feet from the fulcrum.

A kid throws a ball from a tower 45 meters tall how fast is the ball going when it hits the ground?
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

29.69 m/s

Explanation:

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

Height (h) = 45 m

Velocity (v) =...?

Next, we shall determine the time taken for the ball to get to the ground. This can be obtained as follow:

Height (h) = 45 m

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Time (t) =?

h = ½gt²

45 = ½ × 9.8 × t²

45 = 4.9 × t²

Divide both side by 4.9

t² = 45/4.9

Take the square root of both side

t = √(45/4.9)

t = 3.03 s

Finally, we shall determine the velocity with which the ball hits the ground. This is illustrated below:

Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Time (t) = 3.03 s

Final velocity (v) =.?

v = u + gt

v = 0 + (9.8 × 3.03)

v = 0 + 29.694

v = 29.694 ≈ 29.69 m/s

Therefore, the ball hits the ground with a velocity of 29.69 m/s.

. A vertical electric field is set up in space to compensate for the gravitational force on a point charge. What is the required
Delicious77 [7]

(a) The required magnitude of the electric field when the point charge is an electron is 5.57 x 10⁻¹¹ N/C.

(b) The required magnitude of the electric field when the point charge is an proton is 1.02 x 10⁻⁷ N/C.

<h3>Magnitude of electric field </h3>

The magnitude of electric field is given by the following equation.

F = qE

But F = mg

mg = qE

E = mg/q

where;

  • E is the electric field
  • m is mass of the particle
  • g is acceleration due to gravity
  • q is charge of the particle
<h3>For an electron</h3>

E = (9.11 x 10⁻³¹ x 9.8)/(1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹)

E = 5.57 x 10⁻¹¹ N/C

<h3>For proton</h3>

E = (1.67 x 10⁻²⁷ x 9.8)/(1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹)

E = 1.02 x 10⁻⁷ N/C

Thus, the required vertical electric field is greater when the charge is proton.
