A 4-kg object falls vertically a distance of 5 m. its potential energy has changed by approximately how much?

Physics

Brums [2.3K]3 years ago

Given:
m = 4 kg, the mass of the object
h = 5 m, distance fallen

Neglect air resistance.

The PE (potential energy) is 
PE = mgh = (4 kg)*(9.8 m/s²)*(5 m) = 196 J

The PE is converted into KE (kinetic energy) after the fall. 
Therefore the PE decreased by 196 J ≈ 200 J

Answer: d. It has decreased by 200 J

Would it be true that if you double the distance of an astronaut from a planet, the gravitational pull between them would be hal
velikii [3]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Newton's law of universal gravitation is usually stated that every particle attracts every other particle in the universe with a force which is directly proportional to the product of their masses(m1 and m2) and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers(r).

F = Gm1m2/r²

This is a general physical law derived from

empirical observations by what Isaac Newton called inductive reasoning.

when distance is doubled the gravitational force will be reduced by quarter not half.

A force of 3,200 kg x m/s^2 (Newton’s) acts on a truck giving it an acceleration of 2 m/s^2. What is the mass of the truck ?
Ivan

Answer:

According to newton's second law of motionF=ma Data:-F=3200kgm/sec² or N ,a=2m/sec² ,m=? solution :-F=ma here we have to find m so m=F/a ,m=3200/2=1600kg

How does a heat pump resemble a refrigeration system?
REY [17]
A heat pump is a device that is capable of transferring heat energy from a source of heat to what is known as the heat sink. It also moves thermal energy in the opposite direction of a spontaneous heat transfer through heat absorption from a cold space and releasing it to a warmer space.

When a heat pump is being utilized for heating, it employs the same principle with that of the refrigeration cycle used by an air conditioner or a refrigerator, but in the opposite direction since it releases heat into a conditioned space rather than the surrounding environment. Moreover, heat pump resembles much as refrigeration since it has the same components with the latter except for the presence of a reverse valve.
