Potential energy calculation - MxGxH. Gravity equals 10. How much

Physics
1 answer:
Elena L [17]3 years ago

Answer:

Ep = 0.6095 [J]

Explanation:

As defined in the problem statement, potential energy is defined as the product of mass by gravity by height. But first we must convert all the values given to measures of the international system (SI)

g = gravity = 10 [m/s^2]

h = elevation = 40 [ft] = 12.19 [m]

m = mass = 5 [g] = 0.005 [kg]

Ep = potential energy [J]

Ep = 0.005*10*12.19 = 0.6095 [J]

A force F = (cx - 3.00x^2)i^ acts on a virus as the virus moves along an x axis, with F measured in Newtons, x in meters, and c
Ket [755]

Answer:

c = 4

Explanation:

From work-energy theorem KE = workdone.

Given F = (cx - 3.00x²)i

W = ∫Fdx = ∫(cx - 3.00x²)dx = cx²/2 –3.00x³/3 + A

W = cx²/2 –x³ + A

Where A is a constant

At x = 0, KE = 20J

So W = 20J at x = 0

20 = c×0 - 0 +A

A = 20

So W = cx²/2 –x³ + 20

Also when x = 3.00m, W = KE = 11J

So

11 = c×3²/2 – 3³ + 20

11 = 4.5c – 7

4.5c = 11 + 7

4.5c = 18

c = 18/4.5 = 4

c = 4

7. A rightward force is applied to a book in order to move it across a desk at
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

See the explanation below

Explanation:

In the attached image we can see the free body diagram and forces acting on the book.

Force F, which acts to the right, the friction force which acts in the opposite direction to the movement, i.e. to the left.

The force exerted by the weight of the book that is equal to the product of the mass of the book by the gravity of the book. The normal force that is equal in magnitude to the weight of the book but in the opposite direction.

You find it takes 200 N of horizontal force tomove an unloaded pickup truck along a level road at a speed of2.4 m/s. You then lo
IgorC [24]

ANSWER:

F(h)= 230 N is the horizontal force you will need to move the pickup along the same road at the same speed.

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

F(h) is Horizontal Force = 200 N

V is Speed = 2.4 m/s

The total weight increase by 42%

coefficient of rolling friction decrease by 19%

Since the velocity is constant so acceleration is zero; a=0

Now the horizontal force required to move the pickup is equal to the frictional force.

F(h) = F(f)

F(h) = mg* u

m is mass

g is gravitational acceleration = 9.8 m/s^2

200 = mg*u

Since weight increases by 42% and friction coefficient decreases by 19%

New weight = 1+0.42 = 1.42 = (1.42*m*g)

New friction coefficient = μ = 1 - 0.19 = 0.81 = 0.81 u

F(h) = (0.81μ) (1.42 m g)

       = (0.81) (1.42) (μ m g)

       = (0.81) (1.42) (200)

       = 230 N
