Potential energy can be found using this formula:

PE= m * g * h

where:

PE= potential energy

m=mass

g=gravitational acceleration constant (9.8 m/s^2)

h= height

So your answer is height because you also use the gravitational constant.

At standard temperature and pressure, carbon dioxide has a density of 1.98 kg/m3. What volume does 1.70 kg of carbon dioxide occ

nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

<h2>volume= 0.85m^3</h2>

Explanation:

<em>The density of a substance is defined as the mass per unit volume of the substance, the unit is in kg/m^3 and it is represented by the greek letter rho</em>

Step one:

given data

we are told that the density of Co2= 1.98 kg/m3

and the mass of Co2 is= 1.70 kg

we know the relation between mass, volume and density is

$density=mass/volume$

make volume subject of formula we have

$volume=mass/density$

substitute we have

$volume=1.7/1.98\\\\volume= 0.85m^3$

A truck driver sees a dog running into the road. He immediately brakes. Describe the energy transfers in the truck as it comes t

Eduardwww [97]

Answer: find the answer in the explanation as kinetic energy converts to potential energy.

Explanation:

Before the truck driver sees a dog running into the road, The mechanical energy state of the truck will be kinetic energy at maximum.

Immediately he applied the brakes, the mechanical energy of the truck will be combination of kinetic energy and potential energy.

The kinetic energy will gradually decrease as potential energy continue to increase till it reaches maximum potential energy.

The truck will come to a stop at maximum potential energy

A horizontal 745 N merry-go-round of radius

Arturiano [62]

Answer:

The kinetic energy of the merry-goround after 3.62 s is 544J

Explanation:

Given :

Weight w = 745 N

Radius r = 1.45 m

Force = 56.3 N

To Find:

The kinetic energy of the merry-go round after 3.62 = ?

Solution:

Step 1: Finding the Mass of merry-go-round

$m = \frac{ weight}{g}$

$m = \frac{745}{9.81 }$

m = 76.02 kg

Step 2: Finding the Moment of Inertia of solid cylinder

Moment of Inertia of solid cylinder I = $0.5 \times m \times r^2$

Substituting the values

Moment of Inertia of solid cylinder I

=> $0.5 \times 76.02 \times (1.45)^2$

=> $0.5 \times 76.02\times 2.1025$

=> $79.91 kg.m^2$

Step 3: Finding the Torque applied T

Torque applied T = $F \times r$

Substituting the values

T = $56.3 \times 1.45$

T = 81.635 N.m

Step 4: Finding the Angular acceleration

Angular acceleration , $\alpha = \frac{Torque}{Inertia}$

Substituting the values,

$\alpha = \frac{81.635}{79.91}$

$\alpha = 1.021 rad/s^2$

Step 4: Finding the Final angular velocity

Final angular velocity , $\omega = \alpha \times t$

Substituting the values,

$\omega = 1.021 \times 3.62$

$\omega = 3.69 rad/s$

Now KE (100% rotational) after 3.62s is:

KE = $0.5 \times I \times \omega^2$

KE = $0.5 \times 79.91 \times 3.69^2$

KE = 544J
