What Kinetic Energy does the sack have just before it strikes the floor?

Physics

When an object is at any height above the ground, it has gravitational potential energy. If the object falls, it loses this gravitational potential energy and this energy is converted to kinetic energy. By this logic, we can say:

Gravitational potential energy of grain sack = Kinetic energy of grain sack

GPE = mgh
        = (mg) x h
        = 98.0 x 50.0
        = 4,900 J

A hammer falls off the top roof and strikes the ground with a certain kinetic energy. If it fell from a roof twice as tall how w
Akimi4 [234]

The kinetic energy with which the hammer strikes the ground
is exactly the potential energy it had at the height from which it fell. 

Potential energy is (mass) x (gravity) x (height) .... directly proportional
to height.

Starting from double the height, it starts with double the potential
energy, and it reaches the bottom with double the kinetic energy.

A 2-kW electric heater takes 15 min to boil a quantity of water. If this is done once a day and power costs 10 cents per kWh, wh
frozen [14]

Answer:

<h2> $1.50</h2>

Explanation:

Given data

power P= 2 kW

time t= 15 min to hours = 15/60= 1/4 h

cost of power consumption per kWh= 10 cent = $0.1

We are expected to compute the cost of operating the heater for 30 days

but let us computer the energy consumption for one day

Energy of heater  for one day= 2* 1/4 = 0.5 kWh

the cost of operating the heater for 30 days= 0.5*0.1*30= $1.50

<u><em>Hence it will cost  $1.50 for 30 days operation</em></u>
