Answer:
The well is 7.1 meters deep.
Explanation:
The formula to use here is the distance in a uniformly accelerated motion:
where d stands for distance, t for time, a for acceleration, v0 and d0 for initial velocity and distance, respectively. Since the initial distance and velocity are both zero, we are left with the first term. The coin is in free fall and so it is accelerated by gravity:
The well is 7.1 meters deep.
Answer:
<em>h = 20 m</em>
Explanation:
<u>Gravitational Potential Energy</u>
Gravitational potential energy (GPE) is the energy stored in an object due to its vertical position or height in a gravitational field.
It can be calculated with the equation:
U=m.g.h
Where m is the mass of the object, h is the height with respect to a fixed reference, and g is the acceleration of gravity or .
The weight of an object of mass m is:
W = m.g
Thus, the GPE is:
U=W.h
Solving for h:
The weight of the owl is W=40 N and its GPE is U=800 J.
h = 20 m
The concept required to solve this problem is associated with potential energy. Recall that potential energy is defined as the product between mass, gravity, and change in height. Mathematically it can be described as
Here,
= Change in height
m = mass of super heroine
g = Acceleration due to gravity
The change in height will be,
The final position of the heroin is below the ground level,
The initial height will be the zero point of our system of reference,
Replacing all this values we have,
Since the final position of the heroine is located below the ground, there will net loss of gravitational potential energy of 10744.81J
