Two cats are sitting on a 30 m hill. One cat
V125BC [204]

Answer:

Cat with 6 kg sitting on a 30 meter hill has greater potential energy.

Explanation:

gravitational potential energy (J) = mass (kg) × gravitational field × height (m)

<h3 /><h3><u>Note</u>:</h3>

gravitational field in Earth is 10 N/kg = <u>fixed unit</u>

<h3 /><h3><u>Given</u>:</h3>

1st Cat: 4 kg

2nd Cat: 6 kg

Both of their height is 30 meters.

<h3><u>Solve for g.p.e</u>:</h3>

1st cat = mgh = 4 × 10 × 30 = 1200 Joules

2nd cat = mgh = 6 × 10 × 30 = 1800 Joules

A mechanic has a wrench where the hand grip is 0.40 m from the axis of the bolt. To apply a torque of 170 N m with this wrench w
Grace [21]

Answer:

4.3 * 10 N

Explanation:

To calculate torque, we multiply the distance from the pivot by the perpendicular (the part of the force that acts at right angles to the displacement vector) component of the force to the displacement vector from the pivot.

torque  = distance from pivot *  perpendicular force

170 Nm= 0.4 m * F

F = 425 N = 4.3 * 10 N rounded off to two significant figures
