The potential energy of an object varies jointly with the mass of the object and the height of the object off the ground. A 25-k

g object has 980 joules of potential energy when it is 4 meters off the ground. Another object has 150 joules of potential energy at 3 meters off the ground. What is the mass of the second object? Round to two decimal places.

<u><em>Answer:</em></u>

The mass of the second object is 5.10 Kg

<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>

We are given that the potential energy varies directly with both the mass of the object and its height

<u>This means that:</u>

P.E = kmh .......................> I

<u>where:</u>

P.E is the potential energy

k is the constant of proportionality

m is the mass of the object

h is the height of the object

We are given that a 25-Kg object has 980 joules of potential energy when it is 4 meters off the ground

<u>We will substitute with these givens equation I and solve for k as follows:</u>

P.E = kmh

980 = k × 25 × 4

k = 9.8

<u>This means that:</u>

Potential energy = 9.8 × mass of object × height of object ...........> II

Now, we want to get the mass of an object knowing that its potential energy is 150 joules and its height is 3 meters off the ground

<u>We will substitute in equation II and solve for the mass as follows:</u>

Potential energy = 9.8 × mass of object × height of object

150 = 9.8 × mass of object × 3

mass of object = 5.102 Kg which is 5.10 Kg rounded to two decimal places

Hope this helps :)

Answer:

This is physics. By the way look the explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of Potential Energy is E=mgh, where m is the mass of the object, g the gravitational, and h the height of the object. Given that the potential energy of the object is 150 Joules at 3 meters height, Represent m=E/(g*h), considering g=9.8 m/s^2(Because this value was used for the first object), we get m=150/9.8/3=5.102

Rounding to 2 decimals` 5.10 kg

<span>1. 5564÷91
I know that 9 * 6 = 56
5564 rounds to 5600
91 rounds to 9
Since 56/9 = 6, then 5600/90 is the same as 560/9 = 60
The estimate is 60

2. </span><span>5391÷25
5391 sounds to 5400
25 is 1/4 of 100.
That means when you divide by 25, you can divide by 100 and multiply by 4.
5400/100 = 54
54 * 4 = 216
Estimate: 216

3. </span><span>explain how to estimate 498÷12
48/12 = 4
498 is little more than 480, so 498/12 is little more than 40

4. </span><span>which is the closest estimate for 2130÷ 33
A.7 B.17 C.70 D.700

2130/33
Round off the numerator and denominator to
2100/30
Reduce the fraction
210/3
Since I know that 21/3 = 7, then 210/3 = 70
Estimate: 70
