Answer:
A: 1.962
B: 3.924
Explanation:
g = G *M /R^2
g = 9.807*M/R^2 the gravitational constant of ground level on earth is about 9.807
g = 9.807*5lbs/R^2 the average brick is about 5 pounds.
g = 9.807*5*10^2. I'm assuming the height is around ten feet to help you out.
with these numbers plugged in you get an acceleration of 0.4905 a final velocity after 4 seconds 1.962. It's height fallen after 4 seconds is 3.924.
( M = whatever the brick weighs it's not specified in the question)
(R = the distance from the ground or how high the scaffold is)
(hopefully you can just plug your numbers in there hope this helps)
Potential energy can be calculated using the following rule:
potential energy = mgh where:
m is the mass = 85 kg
g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/sec^2
h is the height = 4 km = 4000 meters
Substitute in the above equation to get the potential energy as follows:
Potential energy = 85*9.8*4000 = 3332000 joules
The centripetal force acts upon an object moving in a circle at constant speed. The centripetal force acts perpendicular to the direction of motion , the speed of object will remain constant.
The answer is B friction force
