Gravitational Potential Energy = weight x height

for 1 meter:

GPE = 5 x 1
 = <u>5N</u>

for 1.5 metres:

GPE = 5 x 1.5
 = <u>7.5N</u>

for 2 metres:

GPE = 5 x 2
 = <u>10N</u>

As you take your leisurely tour through the solar system, you come across a 1.45 kg rock that was ejected from a collision of as
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

1.3310\times 10^8 m/s is the rock's speed.

Explanation:

Momentum is defined as motion possessed by the moving body's mass. Mathematically it a product of mas and velocity of the body.

Momentum(P)=Mass(m)\times velocity(v)

Given : Mass of rock = m = 1.45 kg

Velocity of the rock = v

Momentum of the rock = P =1.93\times 10^8 kg m/s

1.93\times 10^8 kg m/s=1.45 kg\times v

v=\frac{1.93\times 10^8 kg m/s}{1.45 kg}=1.33\times 10^8 m/s

1.3310\times 10^8 m/s is the rock's speed.

arzan, who weighs 700 N, swings from a cliff at the end of a convenient vine thatis 20 m long. From the top of the cliff to the
vekshin1

Answer:

= 7.07 m

Explanation:

The Tarzan reaches bottom of swing after descending 2.5 m,

change in his potential energy equals his kinetic energy at bottom of swing

m g h = (1/2) m v²   ,  

hence speed v of Tarzan at bottom of swing is given as  

v = ( 2 g h )1/2

= ( 2 × 9.8 × 2.5 )1/2

= 7 m/s

At the bottom of swing, if the vine breaks, then he is moving with horizontal velocity 7 m/s in gravitational field.  

If vertical distance from ground to bottom of swing is 5 m, then time t for Tarzan to reach ground is given by

S = (1/2)g t2 or   t = (2S/g)1/2

= ( 2 × 5 / 9.8 )1/2

= 1.01 s

Horizontal distance traveled by Tarzan = 1.01 × 7

= 7.07 m

maria [59]
This is an example of the Newton`s Second Law:
F = m * a
a = F / m
F = 8 N, m = 2 kg.
a = 8 N : 2 kg
Answer:
a = 4 m/s²
