<em>mass (m)= 5 kg</em>

<em>height (h)= 9m </em>

<em>gravity (g)= 9.8 m/s^2</em>

It has Potential energy. (PE)

• PE = mgh

Replacing:

PE = 5 * 9.8 * 9 = 441 Joules

Why does a shirt appear white outside on a sunny day?
Maru [420]
The shirt absorbs the sunlight, so it appears white. All the light is reflected, so the shirt appears white. The sunlight refracts when it hits the shirt, so the shirt appears white.

A student attaches a rope to a 20.0 kg box of books. He pulls with a force of 90.0 N at an angle of 30 degrees with the horizont
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

The magnitude of the acceleration of the box is 2.01 m/s².

Explanation:

Hi there!

Please, see the attached figure for a graphical description of the problem.

We have the following horizontal forces:

Fr = friction force.

Fx = Horizontal component of the applied force, F.

And we have the following vertical forces:

Fy = vertical component of the applied force.

N = normal force exerted on the box.

W = weight of the box.

According to Newton´s second law:

∑F = m · a

Then, in the horizontal direction:

Fx - Fr = m · a

Where "m" is the mass of the box and "a" its acceleration.

Fx can be obtained by trigonometry (see figure):

Fx = F · cos 30°

Fx = 90.0 N · cos 30°

Fr is calculated as follows:

Fr = μ · N

Where μ is the coefficient of friction and N the normal force.

So, we have to find the magnitude of the normal force.

Using Newton´s second law in the vertical direction:

∑F = N + Fy - W = m · a

Notice that the box has no vertical acceleration, then:

N + Fy - W = 0

Solving for N:

N = W - Fy

The weight is calculated as follows:

W = m · g

Where g is the acceleration due to gravity:

W = 20.0 kg · 9.8 m/s² = 196 N

And the vertical component of the applied force can be obtained by trigonometry:

Fy = F · sin 30°

Fy = 90.0 N · sin 30°

The normal force will be:

N = W - Fy = 196 N - 90.0 N · sin 30°

N = 151 N

Now, we can calculate the friction force:

Fr = μ · N

Fr = 0.250 · 151 N

Fr = 37.8 N

And now, we can obtain the acceleration of the box:

Fx - Fr = m · a

(Fx - Fr) / m = a

(90.0 N · cos 30° - 37.8 N ) / 20.0 kg = a

a = 2.01 m/s²

The magnitude of the acceleration of the box is 2.01 m/s².

A 2.1 kg block is dropped from rest from a height of 5.5 m above the top of the spring. When the block is momentarily at rest, t
ella [17]

Answer:

The speed of the block is 8.2 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

mass of block, m = 2.1 kg

height above the top of the spring, h = 5.5 m

First, we determine the spring constant based on the principle of conservation of potential energy

¹/₂Kx² = mg(h +x)

¹/₂K(0.25)² = 2.1 x 9.8(5.5 +0.25)

0.03125K = 118.335

K = 118.335 / 0.03125

K = 3786.72 N/m

Total energy stored in the block at rest is only potential energy given as:

E = U = mgh

U = 2.1 x 9.8 x 5.5 = 113.19 J

Work done in compressing the spring to 15.0 cm:

W = ¹/₂Kx² = ¹/₂ (3786.72)(0.15)² = 42.6 J

This is equal to elastic potential energy stored in the spring,

Then, kinetic energy of the spring is given as:

K.E = E - W

K.E = 113.19 J - 42.6 J

K.E = 70.59 J

To determine the speed of the block due to this energy:

KE =  ¹/₂mv²

70.59 =  ¹/₂ x 2.1 x v²

70.59 = 1.05v²

v² = 70.59 / 1.05

v² = 67.229

v = √67.229

v = 8.2 m/s
