A book on a 2-meter high shelf has a mass of 0.4 kg. What is its potential energy?
poizon [28]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf 7.84 \ Joules}}

Explanation:

The formula for potential energy is:

PE=m*g*h

where <em>m </em>is the mass, <em>g</em> is the gravitational acceleration, and <em>h</em> is the height.

The mass of the book is 0.4 kilograms. The gravitational acceleration on Earth is 9.8 m/s². The height of the book is 2 meters.

m=0.4 \ kg \\g=9.8 \ m/s^2 \\h=2\ m

Substitute the values into the formula.

PE=(0.4 \ kg)(9.8 \ m/s^2)(2 \ m)

Multiply the first two numbers.

  • 0.4 kg*9.8 m/s²= 3.92 kg*m/s²
  • If we convert the units now, the problem will be much easier later on.
  • 1 kg*m/s² is equal to 1 Newton. So, our answer of 3.92 kg*m/s² is equal to 3.92 N

PE=(3.92 \ N )(2 \ m)

Multiply.

  • 3.92 N* 2 m=7.84 N*m
  • 1 Newton meter is equal to 1 Joule (this is why we converted the units).
  • Our answer is equal to<u> 7.84 Joules.</u>

PE=7.84  \ J

An astronaut throws a wrench in interstellar space. How much force is required to keep the wrench moving continuously with const
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

0 N

Explanation:

This is a trick question, the mass of the wrench would be 0 due to it being in space and has no gravitational pull to weight it down. And since acceleration is defined as the rate and change of velocity with no respect of time and the wrench is moving at a constant velocity, that means the velocity is 0. and since F = m*a it would be F = 0 * 0 = 0 N

Humans are a part of the Earth system. List at least three examples of how you, in particular, influence one or more of Earth’s
Naily [24]

Answer:

True, The humans have modified their environment the ecological system

Explanation:

  • Human is a part of the earth system and they are included in the ecological system that in particular is concerned with the provision of the feedback mechanism and cyclic flow of the system of energy such as the atmosphere, cryosphere, and the biosphere and the hydrosphere.
  • The human has already and influences the earth's physical system alike that of the atmospheric system in terms of the climate changes and the global warming that is taking place at a massive scale.  
  • They are influencing the soil and land systems in terms of the depletion resources and the disturbing the hydrological cycles on earth that further influence the amounts of rainfall patterns.
  • <u>The three examples</u><u> </u><u>given above are those of the use of the natural resources and thereby depletion of resources which are needed to sustain the functioning of the planet and various fields of the economics and the geology and that of the socio systems are also impacted and these forms the earth's major sphere of life.</u>
