As long as it sits on the shelf, its potential energy
relative to the floor is . . .
Potential energy = (mass) x (gravity) x (height) =
(3 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) x (0.8m) = <u>23.52 joules</u> .
If it falls from the shelf and lands on the floor, then it has exactly that
same amount of energy when it hits the floor, only now the 23.52 joules
has changed to kinetic energy.
Kinetic energy = (1/2) x (mass) x (speed)²
23.52 joules = (1/2) x (3 kg) x (speed)²
Divide each side by 1.5 kg : 23.52 m²/s² = speed²
Take the square root of each side: speed = √(23.52 m²/s²) = <em>4.85 m/s </em> (rounded)
Answer:
2271.16N/C upward
Explanation:
The diagram well illustrate all the forces acting on the mass. The weight is acting downward and the force is acting upward in other to balance the weight.since the question says it is motionless, then indeed the forces are balanced.
First we determine the downward weight using

Hence for a mass of 3.82g 0r 0.00382kg we have the weight to be


To calculate the electric field,

Since the charge on the mass is negative, in order to generate upward force, there must be a like charge below it that is repelling it, Hebce we can conclude that the electric field lines are upward.
Hence the magnitude of the electric force is 2271.16N/C and the direction is upward
Force = (mass) x (acceleration) Newton's second law of motion.
Force = (2 kg) x (3 m/s²) = 6 newtons.
Answer: 14.7kJ, 29.4kJ, 44.1kJ
Explanation:
<em>The gravitational potential energy is the energy that a body or object possesses, due to its position in a gravitational field. </em>
<em />
In the case of the Earth, in which the gravitational field is considered constant, the value of the gravitational potential energy
will be:
Where
is the mass of the object,
the acceleration due gravity and
the height of the object.
Knowing this, let's begin with the calculaations:
For m=3kg
For m=6kg
For m=9kg
