Answer: -7J

Explanation:

To determine the change in potential energy, use the equation ΔPE=mgΔh

Δ

PE=mg

Δ

h

, where m is the mass, g= 9.8 m/s2

g= 9.8 m/s

2

, and Δh is the change in height. Hence, we have that the potential energy PE=4.0 kg×9.8 m/s2×-2.0 m=-78 J

PE=4.0 kg

×

9.8 m/s

2

×

-2.0 m=-78 J

. To verify that this is correct, note that since the cat changes the potential energy to kinetic energy by jumping, the potential energy decreases. Hence, the potential energy should be negative.

A child on a skateboard experiences a 75 N force with an acceleration of 1.5 m/s2.
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

The mass of the child + skateboard is 50 kg

Explanation:

In this problem, we can apply Newton's second law:

F = ma

where

F is the net force on a system

m is the mass of the system

a is the acceleration of the system

In this problem, our system is the child + the skateboard. The net force on them is

F = 75 N

and their acceleration is

a=1.5 m/s^2

So we can re-arrange the equation above to find their combined mass:

m=\frac{F}{a}=\frac{75}{1.5}=50 kg

The brakes of a 125 kg sled are applied while it is moving at 8.1 m/s, which exerts a force of 261 N to slow the sled down. How
sammy [17]

Answer:

15.7 m

Explanation:

m = mass of the sled = 125 kg

v₀ = initial speed of the sled = 8.1 m/s

v = final speed of sled = 0 m/s

F = force applied by the brakes in opposite direction of motion = 261

d = stopping distance for the sled

Using work-change in kinetic energy theorem

- F d = (0.5) m (v² - v₀²)

- (261) d = (0.5) (125) (0² - 8.1²)

d = 15.7 m

A 55 newton force applied on an object moves the object 10 meters in the same direction as the force. What is the value of work
kifflom [539]

Answer: Option D: 5.5×10²Joules

Explanation:

Work done is the product of applied force and displacement of the object in the direction of force.

W = F.s = F s cosθ

It is given that the force applied is, F = 55 N

The displacement in the direction of force, s = 10 m

The angle between force and displacement, θ = 0°

Thus, work done on the object:

W = 55 N × 10 m × cos 0° = 550 J = 5.5 × 10² J

Hence, the correct option is D.
