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

Physics
1 answer:
levacccp [35]9 months 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.

The position-time equation for a cheetah chasing an antelope is:
pochemuha

Answer:

x = 1.6 + 1.7 t^2      omitting signs

a) at t = 0     x = 1.6 m

b) V = d x / d t = 3.4 t

at t = 0     V = 0

c) A = d^2 x / d t^2 = 3.4     (at t = 0  A = 3.4 m/s^2)

d)  x = 1.6 + 1.7 * (4.4)^2 = 34.5    (position at 4.4 sec = 34.5 m)

(a) what will an object weigh on the moon's surface if it weighs 100 n on earth's surface
juin [17]
We know the equation

weight = mass × gravity

To work out the weight on the moon, we will need its mass, and the gravitational field strength of the moon.
Remember that your weight can change, but mass stays constant.

So using the information given about the earth weight, we can find the mass by substituting 100N for weight, and we know the gravity on earth is 10Nm*2 (Use the gravitational field strength provided by your school, I am assuming yours in 10Nm*2)

Therefore,

100N = mass × 10
mass= 100N/10
mass= 10 kg

Now, all we need are the moon's gravitational field strength and to apply this to the equation

weight = 10kg × (gravity on moon)

IF you are in Space and push a bowling what happens to you and the bowling ball?
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

The bowling ball did not change size or shape- the only thing that changed was the amount of gravity that pulls on it. But the mass of the bowling ball would never change. A bowling ball with a mass of 12 pounds on earth will have the mass of 12 pounds on the moon! Mass is the amount of atoms that a space fills.

Explanation:

I hope this helps! :D

Upthrust given by Water to the body
erica [24]

Answer:

According to Archimedes principle the upthrust on the body is equal to the weight of the water displaced by the body. ... Here, the mass would be the net difference in the weight of the object.
