A 25kg child resting at the top of a 2 meter slide has how much potential energy?

Physics
1 answer:
levacccp [35]1 year ago
3 0

Potential energy of a child at the top is 490 J.

Potential energy, U = mgh

U = potential energy

m  = mass of an object, given = 25kg

g = acceleration due to gravity, given = 9.8 m/s^{2}

h = height of an object, given = 2 meter

Put the values in potential energy formula, U = mgh

U = mgh

U = 25 × 9.8 × 2

U = 490 J

Hence, Potential energy of a child at the top is 490 J.

Potential energy is the  type of energy, which is product of mass of an object, acceleration due to gravity and height of an object where it is placed. Its S.I. unit is joule and is represented by J.

You drag a suitcase of mass 8.2 kg with a force of f at an angle 41.9 ◦ with respect to the horizontal along a surface with kine
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

35.6 N

Explanation:

We can consider only the forces acting along the horizontal direction to solve the problem.

There are two forces acting along the horizontal direction:

- The horizontal component of the pushing force, which is given by

F_x = F cos \theta

with \theta=41.9^{\circ}

- The frictional force, whose magnitude is

F_f = \mu mg

where \mu=0.33, m=8.2 kg and g=9.8 m/s^2.

The two forces have opposite directions (because the frictional force is always opposite to the motion), and their resultant must be zero, because the suitcase is moving with constant velocity (which means acceleration equals zero, so according to Newton's second law: F=ma, the net force is zero). So we can write:

F_x - F_f=0\\F_x = F_f\\F cos \theta = \mu mg\\F=\frac{\mu mg}{cos \theta}=\frac{(0.33)(8.2 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)}{cos(41.9^{\circ})}=35.6 N

Which of the following statements about the impact of biotechnology on the environment is not true?
Vladimir79 [104]

E)  Biotechnology use can lead to an increase in soil erosion and pollution runoff through decreased pesticide use.

Explanation:

Biotechnology use cannot lead to an increase in soil erosion and pollution runoff through decreased pesticide use.

There is no relationship between biotechnology use and increase soil erosion and pollution run off.

Biotechnology involves the application of technology based on living things.

Which kinds of objects emit visible light in the electromagnetic spectrum?
Triss [41]

Answer : Relatively hot objects

Explanation : We know that, the temperature of the objects is inversely proportional to their wavelengths. The objects emitting radiation in the visible region have short wavelength and hence are relatively hotter.

We know the range of wavelength of the visible spectrum is from 400 nm to 780 nm.
