Answer:

<h2>103 Joules</h2>

Explanation:

In this problem we are required to find the potential energy possessed by the television

Given data

mass of television m = 15 kg

height  added above the ground, h= 1-0.3 = 0.7 m

acceleration due to gravity g = 9.81 m/s^2

apply the formula for potential energy we have

P.E= m*g*h

P.E = 15*9.81*0.7 = 103 Joules

Alja [10]
<h2>Answer</h2>

option D)

2.4 seconds

<h2>Explanation</h2>

Given in the question,

mass of car = 1200kg

speed of car = 19m/s

Force due to direction of travel

F = ma

  = 12000(a)

Force to due frictional force in reverse direction

-F = mg(friction coefficient)

   = -12000(9.81)(0.8)

<h2>-mg(friction coefficient) = ma  </h2>

(cancelling mass from both side of equation)

g(0.8) = a

(9.81)(0.8) = a

a = 7.848 m/s²

<h2>Use Newton Law of motion</h2><h3>vf - vo = a • t</h3>

where vf = final velocity

          vo = initial velocity

          a = acceleration

           t = time

0 - 19 = 7.8(t)

t = 19/7.8

  = 2.436 s

  ≈ 2.4s

A spaceship starting from a resting position accelerates at a constant rate of 9.8 m/s. How far will the spaceship travel if its
Dvinal [7]

300 000 0 squared = 2 x 9.8 distance

KINEMATICS

Uniform or constant motion in a straight line (rectilinear). Speed or velocity constant and/or acceleration constant. If motion is up and down and/or has an up and down component then acceleration omn earth will be g. g is about 10m/s/s.


speed = distance/time

velocity = displacement/time

s=distance ... u=initial speed ... v = final speed ... a = acceleration ... t = time


v=u+at

v^2=u^2+2as

s=ut+1/2at^2

What factors affect the amount of potential and kinetic energy a roller coaster has
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

As the roller coaster goes higher, more potential energy is increased in the roller coaster. Caused by gravity and the roller coaster's position, the potential energy is stored in the roller coaster. For example, this ball is at the top of a hill, where potential energy is at it's highest. Potential energy can be calculated by Potential Energy=Mass X Acceleration X Height.

Which kind of energy transformation occurs during skydiving? A) mechanical to gravitational B) gravitational to kinetic C) kinet
Aleks [24]

B) gravitational to kinetic

Explanation:

The skydiver, when he is located at a certain height h above the ground, possesses gravitational potential energy, equal to:

U=mgh

where m is the mass of the skydiver, g is the gravitational acceleration and h is the height above the ground. As he falls, its height h decreases, while his speed v increases, so part of the gravitational potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, which is given by

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

so, we see that as v increases, the kinetic energy increases. Therefore the correct answer is

B) gravitational to kinetic

A blue line with 5 orange tick marks then one red tick mark then 4 orange tick marks. The number zero is above the red tick mark
Digiron [165]

Answer:

16 cm

Explanation:

Given that,

The object begins from 0 and moves 3cm towards left side followed by 7 cm towards the right and then, 6 cm towards the left side.

Let the x-axis to be the +ve and on the right side and -ve on the left

Thus, displacement would be:

= 0 -3 + 7 -6

= -2 cm

This implies that the object displaces 2cm towards the left.

While the total distance covered by the object equal to,

= 0cm + 3cm + 7cm + 6cm

= 16 cm

Thus, <u>16 cm</u> is the total distance.
