Answer:

Height, h = 1.2 meters

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of an object, m = 6 kg

Gravitational potential energy, E = 70.56 J

It is lifted off a ground to a height h. We need to find its height. It can be determined using the expression for the potential energy i.e.

E = m g h

g = acceleration due to gravity

h=\dfrac{E}{mg}

h=\dfrac{70.56\ J}{6\ kg\times 9.8\ m/s^2}

h = 1.2 meters

Hence, it is lifted off the ground to a height of 1.2 meters.

GPE= 70.56 J -------------------> GPE= mgh-------------> X= height
70.56 = 6(kg) * 9.8(m/s/s) * X
70.56 = 58.8X
70.56/58.8= 58.8X/58.8
X= 1.2
The height is 1.2 feet or meters (whatever unit you are using in this problem)

Determina el tamaño de la arista de un cubo hecho de plata, cuya masa es de 10.49 kg.
Sidana [21]

Answer:

88.2 N

Explanation:

Datos

Lcubo = 10 cm = 0.1 m

Vcubo = Vfluido desalojado= 0.1 m x 0.1 m x 0.1 m = 10-3 m

mcubo = 10 kg

dfluido = 1000 kg/m3

g = 9.8 m/s2  

Sabemos que el peso aparente de un cuerpo que se sumerge en un fluido es:

Paparente=Preal−Pfluido

Teniendo en cuenta que:

Preal = mcubo⋅gPfluido=E= dfluido⋅Vfluido⋅g

Como el cuerpo se sumerge completamente en el fluido, el volumen de fluido desalojado es exactamente el volumen del cubo. Por lo tanto si sustituimos los datos que nos proporcionan en el enunciado en la primera ecuación:

Paparente=mcubo⋅g−dfluido⋅Vfluido⋅g ⇒Paparente=10 kg ⋅9.8 m/s2 − 1000 kg/m3 ⋅10−3 m ⋅9.8 m/s2 ⇒Paparente = 88.2 N

Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

b) Gravity

Explanation:

Gravity acts all of the time, when you apply force to a projectile it has to be more than the forces of the gravity and air resistance together so the projectile can move,  when the rock is at the top of its trajectory the force that you applied at the beginning is getting lost, so the other forces (air resistance and gravity) make the rock fall to the floor.
