If a weight hanging on a string of length 5 feet swings through 5^\circ on either side of the vertical, how long is the arc thro
Zielflug [23.3K]
<span>First we can find the circumference of the whole circle with a radius of 5 feet. circumference = 2 pi radius circumference = (2 pi) (5 feet) circumference = (10 pi) feet From one high point to the other high point, the string moves through an angle of 10 degrees. Since a full circle is 360 degrees, this angle is 1/36 of a full circle. Therefore, the arc length is 1/36 of the whole circumference. arc length = (1/36) (circumference) arc length = (1/36) (10 pi) feet arc length = 0.873 feet</span>

What is the mass of a ball that has 29j of potential energy and is lifted 2.0m?​
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

1.48kg

Explanation:

Here,

potential energy (P.E) = 29j

height (h) = 2m

acceleration due to gravity(g) =

9.8m {s}^{ - 2}

mass(m) = ?

we know,

P.E = mgh

or, 29 = m×9.8×2

or, 29/19.6 = m

or,m = 1.48kg
