An 85-kg refrigerator is located on the 70th floor of a skyscraper (4km above the ground ) what is the potential energy

1 answer:

7 0

Potential energy can be calculated using the following rule:
potential energy = mgh where:
m is the mass = 85 kg
g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/sec^2
h is the height = 4 km = 4000 meters

Substitute in the above equation to get the potential energy as follows:
Potential energy = 85*9.8*4000 = 3332000 joules

How much work is done by an applied force to lift a 45 newton block 6.0 meters at a constant speed ?

AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

270Joues

Explanation:

Step one:

given data

Force F= 45N

distance moved d= 6m

Required

The work done in moving the block 6m

Step two:

We know that the expression for the work done is

WD= force* distance

WD= 45*6

WD=270Joues

How long will it take for a radioactive isotope with a decay constant of 0.15 (which means a half life of 4.6 days ) to decay to

jek_recluse [69]

Radioactive decay is given by:
N = No x e^(-λt)
We know that N/No has to be 0.05
λ = 0.15
0.05 = e^(-0.15t)
t = ln(0.05)/(-0.15)
t = 19.97 days

At a certain time a particle had a speed of 48 m/s in the positive x direction, and 4.5 s later its speed was 92 m/s in the oppo

larisa86 [58]

Answer:

$-31.1 m/s^2$

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object is the rate of change of velocity of the object.

Mathematically, it is calculated as:

$a=\frac{v-u}{t}$

where

u is the initial velocity

v is the final velocity

t is the time taken for the velocity to change from u to v

Acceleration is a vector, so it is important to also take into account the direction of the velocity.

For the particle in this problem, we have:

u = +48 m/s is the initial velocity (positive direction)

v = -92 m/s is the final velocity (negative direction)

t = 4.5 s is the time interval

Therefore, the average acceleration is

$a=\frac{v-u}{t}=\frac{-92-(+48)}{4.5}=-31.1 m/s^2$
