For the gravitational force the formula is P.E. = mgh, where m is the mass in kilograms, g is the acceleration due to gravity <span>and h is the height in meters.Watch that gravitational </span>potential energy<span> has the same units as kinetic </span>energy.
Explanation:
Mass of the crate, m = 68 kg
We need to find the resulting acceleration if :
(a) Force, P = 0
P = m a
⇒ a = 0
(b) P = 181 N
(c) P = 352 N
Hence, this is the required solution.
Answer:
velocity at the top: 0 m/s
acceleration at the top: -9.8 m/s²
Explanation:
Assuming up is positive and down is negative;
The velocity of the ball at the top of its path will be 0 m/s and the acceleration will be negative.
The velocity is 0 m/s because the ball does not move at the top of its path, and it switches from a positive velocity to a negative velocity. It must go through 0 in order to go from positive to negative.
The acceleration, however, is always negative no matter where the ball is in its motion. This negative acceleration causes the ball to slow down as it reaches the top, and speed up as it reaches the bottom.
<u>Think about it:</u> If there wasn't a negative acceleration, and it was instead 0, the ball would never come back down and instead keep going in a straight line.
