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

Physics

Brums [2.3K]4 years ago
7 0
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

Someone help please.....

Answer:

0.0928km/min (4dp)

Explanation:

To find the jogger's speed in km per minute, we just need to divide the number of km jogged by the time in minutes it took to jog that distance. This will give us the distance they jogged every minute which is their speed.

4km in 32 minutes:

4/32 = 0.125km/min

2km in 22 minutes:

2/22 = 0.091 (3dp)km/min

1km in 16 minutes:

0.0625km/min

Now to find the average speed of these 3 speeds, we just add them all together and divide by how many values there are (3 values).

Average (mean)  = \frac{0.125+0.091+0.0625}{3}

Average = 0.2785/3

Average speed of jogger = 0.0928 (4dp) km/min

Hope this helped!

Refer to the image. Calculate the magnitude of change in velocity of the cue ball.
valkas [14]

Answer:

If you add the 2 velocity vectors you get the velocity of the third vector which is the (change in) velocity of the cue ball after striking the cushion

V * 2 * cos 45 = 4 * cos 45 = 2.83 m/s

MArishka [77]

Answer: b, d, e

Explanation:

A magnetic field is a field of forces that are always surrounding a source of magnetic energy, and it is in this region where elements sensitive to magnetism interact with it.

The magnetic fields are dipolar, they have a North pole and a South pole, which are also called the positive pole and negative pole.
