Answer:
Potential energy of book = 7.5 J
Explanation:
Given:
Weight of book = 5 N
Height of shelf = 1.5 meter
Find:
Potential energy of book
Computation:
Weight = Mass x Acceleration of gravity
Mass x Acceleration of gravity = 5 N
Potential energy = Mass x Acceleration of gravity x Height
Potential energy of book = Mass x Acceleration of gravity x Height
We know that;
Mass x Acceleration of gravity = 5 N
So,
Potential energy of book = 5 x 1.5
Potential energy of book = 7.5 J
The answer is a newton second law
a = ( v(2) - v(1) ) ÷ ( t(2) - t(1) )
2 = ( v(2) - 10 ) ÷ ( 6 - 0 )
2 × 6 = v(2) - 10
v(2) = 12 + 10
v(2) = 22 m/s
