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.

A sculpture is suspended in equilibrium by two cables, one from a wall and the other

aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

$T_1=6655.295917 \approx 6655.3N$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Angle of cable 2 $\theta=37.0\textdegree$

Weight of sculpture $W=5000 N$

Generally the Tension from cable 2 $T_2$ is mathematically given by

$T_2sin37\textdegree=5000N$

$T_2=5000N/sin37\textdegree$

$T_2=8308.2N$

Generally the Tension from Cable 1 $T_1$ is mathematically given by

$T_1=T_2 cos37\textdegree$

$T_1=8308.2* cos 37\textdegree$

$T_1=6655.295917 \approx 6655.3N$

A skydiver jumps from an airplane and falls freely for 5 seconds. If the sky diver's velocity increases by 49 m/s during that ti

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)

   =    (49 m/s) / (5 seconds)

   = (49 / 5) m/s / s

   =    9.8 m/s²

Vector vector a has a magnitude of 29 units and points in the positive y-direction. when vector vector b is added to vector a ,

Nutka1998 [239]

Good morning.

We have:

$\mathsf{\overset{\to}{a} = 29\overset{\to}{j}}$

Where j is the unitary vector in the direction of the y-axis.

We have that

$\mathsf{\overset{\to}{a}+\overset{\to}{b} = -18\overset{\to}{j}}$

We add the vector -a to both sides:

$\mathsf{\overset{\to}{b} = -18\overset{\to}{j} -\overset{\to}{a} = -18\overset{\to}{j} -29\overset{\to}{j}}\\ \\ \mathsf{\overset{\to}{b}=-47\overset{\to}{j}}$

Therefore, the magnitude of b is 47 units.

At what speed does a 1,248 kg compact car have the same kinetic energy as a 18,777 kg truck going 26 km/h?

notka56 [123]

The speed of car is 100.8km/h

$KE = \frac{1}{2} m(v \: truck ) {}^{2}$
