Gravitational Potential Energy = mgh.

Where m = mass in kg.
g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s2.
h = height in metres.
PE is in Joules

Potential Energy =  20 * 9.81*100 = 19620 J

A car is stopped at a red light. When the light turns green, it accelerates up
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

a = 2.5 [m/s²]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use the following equation of kinematics.

v_{f} =v_{o} +a*t

where:

Vf = final velocity = 25 [m/s]

Vo = initial velocity = 0 (star from the rest)

a = acceleration [m/s²]

t = time = 10 [s]

25 = 0 + (a*10)

a = 25/10

a = 2.5 [m/s²]

A balsa wood raft is 1.50 m long, 1.00 m wide, and 0.120 m high. the density of balsa is 380 kg/m^3. what is the mass of the raf
topjm [15]

Answer:

the mass of the raft is 68.4 kg

Explanation:

Since Mass is defined as Volume times Density, start by calculating the volume of the raft:

Volume = length x width x high = 1.5 m x 1.0 m x 0.12 m = 0.18 m^3

and now multiply it times the given density in order to find its mass:

Mass = Volume x Density = 0.18 m^3 x 380 kg/m^3 = 68.4 kg.

Notice that the m^3 units cancel out (they are in numerator and in denominator) leaving just the kg (a unit of mass) in the answer.

Therefore, the mass of the raft is 68.4 kg
