Answer: 4550 Joules

The formula for potential energy in gravitational field is as follows:

E_{pot} = mgh=65kg \cdot 10 \frac{N}{kg} \cdot 7m = 4550 J

A car of mass 1167 kg accelerates on a flat highway from 10 m/s to 28.0 m/s. How much work does the car's engine do on the car?
denis23 [38]

Answer:

Workdone = 465766038 Joules.

Explanation:

<u>Given the following data;</u>

Mass = 1167

Initial velocity = 10m/s

Final velocity =28m/s

To find the workdone;

We know that from the workdone theorem, the workdone by an object or a body is directly proportional to the kinetic energy possessed by the object due to its motion.

Mathematically, it is given by the equation;

W = Kf - Ki

W = ½MVf² - ½MVi²

Substituting into the equation

W = ½(1167)*28² - ½(1167)*10²

W = ½ * 1361889* 784 - ½ * 1361889 * 100

W = 533860488 - 68094450

Workdone = 465766038 Joules.

A model plane has a mass of 0.75 kg and is flying 12 m above the ground
Grace [21]

Answer:

Option C. 210 J.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mass (m) = 0.75 Kg

Height (h) = 12 m

Velocity (v) = 18 m/s

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Total Mechanical energy (ME) =?

Next, we shall determine the potential energy of the plane. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass (m) = 0.75 Kg

Height (h) = 12 m

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Potential energy (PE) =?

PE = mgh

PE = 0.75 × 9.8 × 12

PE = 88.2 J

Next, we shall determine the kinetic energy of the plane. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass (m) = 0.75 Kg

Velocity (v) = 18 m/s

Kinetic energy (KE) =?

KE = ½mv²

KE = ½ × 0.75 × 18²

KE = ½ × 0.75 × 324

KE = 121.5 J

Finally, we shall determine the total mechanical energy of the plane. This can be obtained as follow:

Potential energy (PE) = 88.2 J

Kinetic energy (KE) = 121.5 J

Total Mechanical energy (ME) =?

ME = PE + KE

ME = 88.2 + 121.5

ME = 209.7 J

ME ≈ 210 J

Therefore, the total mechanical energy of the plane is 210 J.
