A cat’s crinkle ball toy of mass 15g is thrown straight up with an initial speed of 3m/s. Assume in this problem that air drag i

s negligible. If the gravitational potential energy is taken to be zero at the point where it leaves your hand, what is the gravitational potential energy when the ball is at its peak height?

Answer:

P.E = 0.068 J = 68 mJ

Explanation:

First we need to find the height attained by the ball toy. For this purpose, we will be using 3rd equation of motion:

2gh = Vf² - Vi²

where,

g = -9.8 m/s²  (negative sign due to upward motion)

h = height attained by the ball toy = ?

Vf = Final Velocity = 0 m/s (since it momentarily stops at the highest point)

Vi = Initial Velocity = 3 m/s

Therefore,

2(-9.8 m/s²)h = (0 m/s)² - (3 m/s)²

h = (9 m²/s²)/(19.6 m/s²)

h = 0.46 m

Now, the gravitational potential energy of ball at its peak is given by the following formula:

P.E = mgh

P.E = (0.015 kg)(9.8 m/s²)(0.46 m)

<u>P.E = 0.068 J = 68 mJ</u>

Two Factors That Affect How Much Gravity Is on an Object. Gravity is the force that gives weight to objects and causes them to fall to the ground when dropped. Two major factors, mass and distance, affect the strength of gravitational force on an object.

5. An electrical power plant generates electricity with a current of 50 A and a potential difference of 20 000 V. In order to mi
lakkis [162]

Answer: Current = 2 A

Explanation:

Given that an electrical power plant generates electricity with a

current I = 50 A

Potential difference V = 20 000 V

The resistance R will be achieved by Ohms law formula which state that

V = IR

But the power generated will be the product of potential difference and the current

Power P = IV

P = 50 × 20000

P = 1, 000000 W

When the transformer steps up the potential difference to 500 000 V before it is transmitted

Power is always constant.

Using the formula for power again with

V = 500000

1000000 = 500000× I

Make I the subject of formula

Current I = 1000000/500000

Current I = 2 A

yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

11760 joules

Explanation:

Given

Mass (m) = 75kg

Height (h) = 16m

Required

Determine the increment in potential energy (PE)

This is calculated as thus:

PE = mgh

Where g = 9.8m/s²

Substitute values for m, g and h.

P.E = 75 * 9.8 * 16

P.E = 11760 joules
