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

Physics
1 answer:
Elena L [17]3 years ago
8 0

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]

oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

14 rev

Explanation:

w_{o} = initial angular velocity = 2.5 revs⁻¹

w = final angular velocity = 0.8 revs⁻¹

\alpha = Angular acceleration = - 0.2 revs⁻²

\theta = Angular displacement

Using the equation

w^{2} = w_{o}^{2} + 2 \alpha \theta\\0.8^{2} = 2.5^{2} + 2 (- 0.2) \theta\\ \theta = 14 rev

So the number of revolutions are 14

Newton
vodomira [7]

Given parameters:

Mass on earth  = 50kg

Unknown:

Mass on planet Xenon = ?

Weight on planet Xenon = ?

Mass is the amount of matter contained in a particular substance.

Weight is the force on a body and it is derived from the product of mass and acceleration due to gravity.

         Weight  = mass x acceleration due to gravity

Planet Xenon has half the gravitational force of Earth.

 This translated gives \frac{9.8}{2}   = 4.9m/s²

Now, mass is always the same every where if the amount of matter in a substance does not change.

In this problem, mass = 50kg on planet xenon.

Weight =  mass x acceleration due to gravity  = 50 x 4.9  = 245N

The weight on Xenon is 245N and the mass is 50kg

What 3 points must an object possess to be considered a planet
Vitek1552 [10]
<span>1. It must be an object which independently orbits the Sun (this means moons can't be considered planets, since they orbit planets)
2. It must have enough mass that its own gravity pulls it into a spheroidal shape.
3. </span><span>It must be large enough to "dominate" its orbit (i.e. its mass must be much larger than anything else which crosses its orbit).</span>

OlgaM077 [116]
The IRB at the university will decide whether her study meets ethical guidelines before it is initiated. The importance of these codes of conduct is to safeguard research participants, the status of psychology and the researchers or psychologists themselves. Moral issues hardly yield a simple, unequivocal, right or wrong answer. It is consequently often a matter of judgment whether the research is justified or not. For instance, it might be that a study roots psychological or physical uneasiness to participants, maybe they agonize pain or maybe even come to solemn harm.
