There's not enough information to find an answer.
I think the idea here is that in descending (416 - 278) = 138 meters,
the glider gives up some gravitational potential energy, which
becomes kinetic energy at the lower altitude. This is all well and
good, but we can't calculate the difference in potential energy
without knowing the mass of the glider.
Answer: h = 3.34 m
Explanation:
If the hat is thrown straight up, then at its highest point it has no motion and no kinetic energy. All energy is potential energy
PE = mgh
h = PE/mg = 4.92 / (0.150(9.81)) = 3.34352... ≈3.34 m
Answer:
Always wear safety goggles when performing an experiment.
Use caution when dropping objects and/or launching them into the air.
Use only the materials that your teacher provides or approves.
Check the soda bottle and its cap for cracks and chips prior to use.
Report all accidents—no matter how big or small—to your teacher.
Answer
Assuming the mass of the car, m = 43000 kg
initial speed u = 0
vertical distance moved, h = 8.8 m
spring constant k = 5 x 10⁵ N / m
acceleration of gravity = 9.8 m/s²
From law of conservation of energy ,
Gravitational potential energy at starting position =potential energy of the spring at maximum compression
x = 14.83 m
If the mass of the car is equal to 43000 Kg the spring is compressed to 14.83 m
