Answer:
3675 J
Explanation:
Gravitational Potential Energy = × mass × g × height
( g is the gravitation field strength )
Mass = 50 kg
G = 9.8 N/kg ( this is always the same )
Height = 15 m
Gravitational Potential Energy = × 50 ×9.8 × 15
= 3675 J
Answer:
Toward the centre of the circular path
Explanation:
The can is moved in a circular path: this means that it is moving by circular motion (uniform circular motion if its tangential speed is constant).
In order to keep a circular motion, an object must have a force that pushes it towards the centre of the circular trajectory: this force is called centripetal force, and its magnitude is given by
where m is the mass of the object, v its tangential speed, r the radius of the trajectory. This force always points towards the centre of the circular path.
