Calculate the potential energy of a 4 kg cat crouched 3 meters off the ground

Physics
1 answer:
NeTakaya4 years ago
5 0

Gravitational potential energy = (mass) x (gravity) x (height)


GPE = (4 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) x (3 m)


GPE = (4 x 9.8 x 3) kg-m²/s²


GPE = 117.6 Joules

A stone is thrown vertically upward with a speed of 18.0 . (a)How fast is it moving when it reaches a height of 11.0 ? (b)How lo
aliina [53]
For the first part, we are looking for Vf when dy=11.0
Upward is positive, downward is negative. 
So <span>Vf = square root [2(-9.8)(11.0) + (18.0)^2] </span>
<span>Vf = 10.4 m/s your answer is correct. 

For the part b, t is equals to the time took to reach and dy is equals to 11.0
you did, </span>11= 18t m/s-(1/2) 9.8t^2 then <span>-11 + 18t- 9.8t^2. By quadratic formula, for the way down the answer is 2.9 s while on it's way up, the answer is 0.77 s</span><span>

Acceleration is equal to the initial velocity minus the final velocity, then divided by time.true or false
tatiyna

Almost true but not quite.

That would give you the negative of the actual acceleration.

It should be the other way around:

(final v) minus (initial v), then divide by time.

Evgen [1.6K]
Equation 1 :
m1 :   m1a =T 
Equation 2:m2 : m2a= F - T 

Adding 1 and 2a=0.073

Placing in  equation 1

we get T = 218.18N

Given a block of glass that is semi-circular, a laser pointer, protractor/ruler, and index card, design your own experiment to o
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

we go up the ramp there is a point where the beam is reflected inside the block, we carefully step back to the point where the beam is horizontal, we measure this angle which is our critical angle.

Explanation:

To design the experiment of measuring the critical angle, we describe the phenomenon, when the light passes from a medium with a higher refractive index to one with a lower index, it separates from the normal one and the Critical Angle is defined as the Angle for which the refraction occurs at 90º

            n₂ sin θ₂ = n₁ sin 90

           n₁ / n₂ = sin θ₂

As we can see, we have to measure the angle with which the laser touches the exit surface of the glass block.

Design of the experiment:

    We place the glass block on the ramp and at the top we hit the conveyor for half the angle, we climb the block on the ramp and see that the angle of incidence of lightning on the exit face changes, part of the beam comes out of the glass , we see it by dispersion in the particles of dirty in the air; Maybe the conveyor or the laser should be moved slightly so that the beam touches the point of origin on the conveyor.

   

   When we go up the ramp there is a point where the beam is reflected inside the block, we carefully step back to the point where the beam is horizontal, we measure this angle which is our critical angle.
