<span>When a person lifts the block, the block has more potential energy. Therefore the person does positive work on the block. work = m g h work = (4.5 kg) (9.80 m/s^2) (1.2 m) work = 52.92 joules The person's work on the block is 52.92 joules When the block is being raised, the force of gravity opposes the motion. Therefore the force of gravity does negative work on the block. work = - (force) (h) work = - m g h work = -(4.5 kg) (9.80 m/s^2) (1.2 m) work = -52.92 joules The work done by the force of gravity on the block is -52.92 joules Note that when the block is moved horizontally, the potential energy does not change. Therefore there is no work done on the block when it moves horizontally (we are assuming that the kinetic energy does not change).</span>

A helium ion of mass 4m and charge 2e is accelerated from rest through a potential difference V in vacuum. Its final speed will
Pavel [41]

Answer:

Final Velocity = √(eV/m)

Explanation:

The Workdone, W, in accelerating a charge, 2e, through a potential difference, V is given as a product of the charge and the potential difference

W = (2e) × V = 2eV

And this work is equal to change in kinetic energy

W = Δ(kinetic energy) = ΔK.E

But since the charge starts from rest, initial velocity = 0 and initial kinetic energy = 0

ΔK.E = ½ × (mass) × (final velocity)²

(Velocity)² = (2×ΔK.E)/(mass)

Velocity = √[(2×ΔK.E)/(mass)]

ΔK.E = W = 2eV

mass = 4m

Final Velocity = √[(2×W)/(4m)]

Final Velocity = √[(2×2eV)/4m]

Final Velocity = √(4eV/4m)

Final Velocity = √(eV/m)

Hope this Helps!!!

An archer pulls a bow string 0.5 m. If the spring constant is 16,000 N/m, what is the energy stored in the bow string?
mars1129 [50]

2000J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Extension = 0.5m

Spring constant = 16000N/m

Unknown:

Energy stored in the bow string = ?

Solution:

The energy stored in a bow string is an elastic potential energy.

It can be calculated using the expression below;

     Elastic energy = \frac{1}{2} K e²

Where k is the spring constant

            e is the extension

Input the parameters;

  Elastic energy = \frac{1}{2} K e²

                          =\frac{1}{2} x 16000 x 0.5²

                          = 2000J

The burning of a log releases the logs chemical_energy into other forms of energy
saul85 [17]

Answer:

When we burn wood we are releasing solar energy, in the form of heat, that has been stored in the wood as chemical energy. The process of photosynthesis converted solar energy, water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and the organic molecules that form the wood, half the weight of which is carbon.
